The War Prayer by Mark Twain

LOTS of people need to read more Twain. He's got things to say about that whole "God on our side" thing.
Like Anne Lamott said: "You can assume that you've made God in your image if he hates all the same people you do." warprayer.org

Pressure grows on ‘reckless’ Hegseth as twin scandals engulf Pentagon chief Defense secretary defiant but allegations of war crimes and blistering watchdog report increase calls for him to go

Hegseth must resign or be impeached.

BRILLIANT!

Kristi Noem should be charged with various felonies. She’s a bigger criminal than 95% of the people she deported.

If the unredacted Epstein Files exonerated Donald J. Trump, we wouldn't still be waiting for them.

Fuck ICE

I believe that @sarahkendzior.bsky.social has a better understanding about what's going on with the world (and importantly with Trump) than most people do. She's been right about a lot even before Trump got elected the first time.

BREAKING: Republicans blocked our clean, three-year extension of the ACA tax credits—guaranteeing health insurance premiums skyrocket for millions in the new year.

The GOP owns the health care crisis to come.

*stamps hoof* All the other kids are allowed to do evil, why can't I?

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

Dear Americans, you have lost your country - getting it back will not be easy.

There is no excuse whatsoever to be on Xitter

Governor Andy Beshear @GovAndyBeshear We are aware of a reported shooting at Kentucky State University in Frankfort. At this time, we are aware of some injuries. We will share more information as available. Law enforcement are on scene, and a suspect has been arrested. Let’s pray for all those affected.

Swell. Today's mass school shooting brought to you by Kentucky.

I remember, do you? I also remember the Shah of Iran and his family fleeing when he was overthrown in 1979 by the Islamic Revolution. Under the rule of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, Iran stopped thriving and progressing. For women, the new regime has been devastating. This is where we are heading.

Brown: Autocrats don’t fear the disease or the babies dying from whooping cough — they fear the evidence of it, because evidence exposes their failures, demands accountability, and empowers the public.

Something exactly like this, yes.

Our sweet dog Mollie, a salt and pepper schnorkie, we think, out for her last walk.

Our old girl Mollie on her last walk before her last bath earlier this morning. She was 20.

Students walked out of school at Burnsville High School in Minnesota to protest Trump’s ICE gestapo terrorizing their community….the kids are alright 💪!

"NO MORE ICE! NO MORE ICE!"

it is actually kind of bananas how unitary executive theorists have taken a straightforward clause requiring the president to "faithfully execute the laws" and transformed it into a grant for the exercise of limitless unenumerated power.

With extreme prejudice.

Voting for Trump fundamentally means you lack the capacity to onboard information

Eat the fucking rich.

Just one time, when a reporter asks Trump whether he thinks Hegseth should release the video, and he says, "Whatever he wants to do. I don't get involved with that," I'd like to see them follow up with, "What happened to that big, strong, powerful leader...on The Apprentice? Was that just an act?"

If they hadn’t burned all the witches and midwives back in the day, we’d probably know more about perimenopause and menopause right now. We know fuck all about a condition that half the population goes through because men are a bunch of plonkers*

*not all men**

**but most of them

“Pronatalists like Dean Spears and Michael Geruso worry that low birth rates mean ‘fewer and fewer people to discover new ideas’—but having more babies risks derailing the careers of already-born women today.”

Taking women out of public life also means “fewer people to discover new ideas.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Philanthropist MacKenzie Scott increased her donations to nonprofits in 2025, giving $7.1 billion.

“Even progressive pronatalism risks ratifying the notion that women’s most important contribution to solving major social problems is to birth and raise children.”

The DOJ has confirmed that President Trump blocked the release of more than 4,100 documents requested as part of a lawsuit brought by injured January 6 police officers.

With this action, the president is directly blocking a case alleging that he helped to fuel the deadly riot. trib.al/o6IVFjF
