Difficult to overstate how incredibly fucking stupid this is. And nary a competent grownup anywhere close to the commanding heights of American foreign policy making.

As time goes on you'll understand my grief on Pax Americana further. All the little systems held in stasis from catastrophe, breaking down.

just so everyone knows, literally at the exact same time JD Vance started trolling on here the NSC was having a meeting on Iran he's angry that he got sidelined to the kiddy table and decided to lash out genuinely pathetic stuff

We are living in the dumbest of all possible timelines.

lol so women are probably cheating at boot camp but tech bros don't need to go

I don’t want to lose track of the fact that a lawyer for the Department of Justice went into court and argued that the President has the ability to call up any state national guard in the country for any reason, claim that it’s necessary to enforce the law, and no judge can second-guess him

it is not particularly surprising that they’re $1B over budget

Today in "We Are Nothing Like the Gestapo".

a nation on edge holds its breath as the former host of celebrity apprentice huddles with his advisors, the wrestlemania ceo and the former co-host of fox & friends weekends

Census data says Los Angeles has 4 million total residents. A birther crypto scammer convicted of 34 felony fraud charges says the city harbors "Millions upon Millions of Illegal Aliens." For busy voters, it can be hard to know who to trust.

it's pretty clear people are starting to get violent with the secret police who show up randomly to kidnap innocent civilians

Apparently we've now reached the "arresting leading opposition political candidates for mayor of your largest city" stage of our slide into the authoritarian abyss. If you don't want your country to turn into Erdogan's Turkey, it's time to be in the street with a sign.

I, also, am the product of an exotic ten thousand year old culture that dislikes being airstruck for inscrutable cultural reasons

the story of 2019-2024 was institutions from Silicon Valley to the police facing a modicum of accountability and radicalizing themselves into support of a leader and party who promised unaccountability

It constantly blows my mind that we have elected someone so gobsmackingly uncomprehending of the gravity and responsibility of his office that he does not grasp how insanely dangerous it is to fire off comments like this on a whim.

ICE is attempting to deport an Atlanta-based Spanish-language reporter from El Salvador who has been covering their immigration abductions. He has legal work authorization and a path to a green card. This is pretty obviously an assault on the free press. www.ajc.com/news/2025/06...

It truly is a coincidence that the "anti-establishment" guys who went to Russia in the 90s to indulge in being sex pests are also all pro-Trump

In a world that took science seriously you'd pull this cop's gun and badge until he had a serious psych eval. It is not safe for people this susceptible to panic-based delusion to be carrying guns.

Anyone could be forgiven for concluding that having a flagrantly unqualified, drunken, bumbling sex pest with no relevant resume to speak of as SecDef is a bad idea.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

For a lot of relatively comfortable Americans, electing an emotionally incontinent imbecile was a bit of entertainment. A game. Good sport, owning those libs. I hope they’re duly entertained.

One begins to wonder if putting the dumbest motherfucker ever to live in charge was a mistake.

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. (via WCCO reporter Caroline Cummings on X)

Netanyahu began this war with his attack on Iran. In the process, he sabotaged US-Iran negotiations on nuclear issues and assassinated Ali Shamkhani, Iran’s lead nuclear negotiator. The US must not be dragged into another illegal Netanyahu war – either militarily or financially.

Got to be weird to try and go out in a blaze of right-wing terrorist glory when you know all your besties on racewar dot net will instantly call you a blue haired gay commie cuck false flag as soon as you reach room tempature

Congrats to everyone who’s still on Twitter, marinating in this fever swamp of bullshit and helping to keep it afloat with your patronage.

Via ABC News's Rachel Scott, let's never forget for a minute what a classless scumbag the President is. x.com/rachelvscott...

If a man comes up to you with a knife, murmuring about how you’re a CIA agent who’s been stalking him, you can’t argue him out of his delusions—you need to escape, or if impossible, defend yourself.

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency. The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?

If someone tells you this charade was to celebrate the military show them this photo. Who and what do you see at the center. This propaganda shot cost millions of dollars to produce. Every element is intentional.

I'm dying for some maga reactionary to get on TV and explain why Boston and Philadelphia aren't real America

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

Looks like a fittingly paltry scattering of spectators in DC today for Trump’s dismal exploitation of the military and the tax payers coffers in service of the his self regard.

Couple things I learned today: - Seniors are extremely fired up about this - "Fuck ICE" is a normie position now - People are MASSIVELY pissed off about Sen. Padilla being wrestled to the ground in LA - We all we got, we all we need

We were at least 7,000 strong today in South Jersey. Incredible energy, boundless solidarity, and the ferocious joy of a free people coming together to protect our communities from the fascist in Washington. #NoKings @indivisible.org @njindivisible.bsky.social @nj50501.bsky.social

oh my god, JD Vance got up and every time he waited for applause it was like six people clapping and THEN HE SAID TODAY IS HIS WEDDING ANNIVERSARY and barely anyone clapped

17 years ago today, Sgt. Michael T. Washington of Golf Company 2/7 Marines gave the ultimate sacrifice in defense of freedom. His father, USMC MSgt. (Ret) Mike Washington, condemns the use of those same Marines against Americans in Los Angeles. #RememberYourOath

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.
