remember when that cronenberg movie 'existenz' came out and it seemed like a fun and silly conceit for there to be freedom fighters taking on corporate conglomerates in an attempt to protect consensus reality from an ocean of digital hallucination

If Trump used a machine gun during the next cabinet meeting, the replacement cabinet members would still not use the 25th Amendment.

He’s as plugged-in as the bodies in the Matrix, programmed by Stephen Miller

This is a great programmer, made at a budget, really gets it done. One key screenwriting revelation here: if you’re gonna threaten a big bad event, sometimes instead of foiling it, it’s better to let it happen and watch the characters pick up the pieces.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
- President Dwight D. Eisenhower

Billions… on… fruit baskets

I heard the audio. He said it.
Lord. What have y'all done.

He says "sir" more often than Marcie said it to Peppermint Patty.

A dramatic image with bold text about Idaho House Committee's passage of a social transition ban, set against a grayscale domed ceiling background. Transcribed Text: BREAKING Idaho House Committee Passes Extreme Social Transition Ban HB 822 is alarming government overreach that would allow Idaho politicians to decide how youth dress and act.

BREAKING: An Idaho House Committee passed HB 822. This dangerous and unconstitutional bill would require trusted adults, such as teachers and counselors, to monitor children for signs that they are not conforming to gender stereotypes. Learn more about the bill: buff.ly/7kw0CXu

very complete

goddamn is this a breath of fresh air after Allred 2024

Historian of French Revolution here to say that in periods like this, squeamish compromisers do as much to drive radicalization as do ideologues. If you keep making excuses for the unfit king, eventually folks come for you and him.

It is completely insane that they are putting people's names into their paid product as "experts" without their knowledge. And Grammarly's response is to say people can OPT OUT?? There's not even a definitive list to see if you're on it.

The best way to win this bullshit quiz is to just never read the NY Times

hard to believe how many people across the entire world want one simple thing that just never seems to happen

It's infuriating that more than 1,300 Iranians have been killed by this illegal war started by the US and Israel, yet the corporate media is focused on the fact that 7 US soldiers have died as a result of this. It's pure Western chauvinism and Americentrism.

Alexander Butterfield, Who Revealed Nixon Tapes in Watergate Scandal, Dies at 99 “There is tape in the Oval Office,” said Mr. Butterfield, a former White House aide, in testimony that rocked the Watergate hearings and led to the president’s resignation.

Administration: It's unfair to criticize members of ICE because there are good people working for them.

Me: The fact that they're willingly working for ICE is prima facie evidence that their status as "good people" is questionable.

Trump could not tell the truth if his life depended on it. The Noem firing was a lie. He knew she had spent those funds and he ok it. He threw her under the bus like he does anyone that makes him look bad. That’s why he gave her a made up job. He’s lying about bombing the girls school too.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson criticizes Supreme Court emergency rulings During a public forum, Jackson and conservative Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh offered differing views of President Trump’s wins before the high court.

“What is happening now is the administration is making new policy, but then insisting that the new policy take effect immediately before a challenge about its lawfulness is determined,” Jackson said. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.

A senseless, criminal waste

Both sides! BOTH SIDES !!!! BOTH SIIIIIII *men with butterfly nets come out and lead me away*

The US military used a Tomahawk missile—named after a tool invented by America's Indigenous peoples that the US military mass murdered via genocide—to mass murder 175 children in Iran.

This is a level of arrogance, cruelty, depravity, and horror that words alone cannot adequately express.😓

Did Trump just accidentally tell the truth about something?

Thread.

Allow Tina Peters the leisure to rot.
