Tell me again how we can expect US military officers to refuse to carry out illegal orders by the President when it comes to nuclear weapons. B2 pilots just carried out an illegal military strike on Iran. We are not at war with Iran. And no Iranian attack on the US was imminent.

A very useful post. Now we know how many fucks we can give on Bluesky - 60. Should be handy in the days to come.

What do you call social media that's threatened every three months by Trump, and then ignored in between? Tic Taco.

Seems like they're dropping a hint to Musk. Hide your crimes under the guise of political persecution. Share any stolen Federal data booty with Russia, of course.

Juneteenth would be a good day to remember Americans are all free, even if someone else is claiming otherwise. This Thursday I'm going to make sure to remind at least one other American they are free.

Lining up the rhetoric from law enforcement about June 14th (#NoKingsDay) against the insurrectionists' attack on our Capitol on Jan 6 says a lot.

Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/

WATCH: “I WAS AN INTERPRETER IN AFGHANISTAN FOR 3 YEARS.” ICE grabs a man whose name they don’t even know at his immigration hearing, shackles him, expedites his removal. Q: Why would anyone ever help our military again? — Trump is endangering and weakening our military.

You do not have to say “pro vaccine groups.” You can say the vast majority of doctors and scientists and the American Medical Association.

Starting the day with a history lesson! On June 12, 1942, a young girl named Anne Frank received a diary on her 13th birthday. This diary became an intimate portrait into those forced into hiding during the Holocaust. Initially published in Holland in 1947, the diary made its way (1/2)

In April, President Trump and Salvadoran President Bukele shook hands in the Oval Office to celebrate a deal to ship gang members to the notorious CECOT prison. But a new ProPublica investigation found there’s more to the story. 🧵👇

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

‼️ This is absolutely absurd. Trump is actively manufacturing a crisis. The Pentagon just announced that he’s federalizing another 2,000 California National Guard troops bringing the total to 4,000, plus 700 active-duty Marines heading into LA. This is a military occupation, not public safety.

Trump is defying courts and ignoring the Constitution. That's why I'm taking to the streets on No Kings Day for a nationwide day of defiance. app.sosha.ai/s/sw0qqPZb

Either the Trump terrorist regime will discover they can't handle being dictators, or We The People will discover we don't have what it takes to defend our democracy.

NEW: Every Sunday, newspapers are full of ads for tech jobs that aren't really looking for applicants. They reveal an aspect of U.S. immigration law that hurts both domestic and foreign workers — yet has endured for decades.

Thinking simultaneously about the genocide in Gaza and the terrorism towards American Jews, I did the modern thing and consulted the internet for a list of biblical quotes on vengeance. Note we're not allowed to do it, only God. And He promised (rainbow) not to again. www.openbible.info/topic

This is a perfect example of how deliberate incompetence can take down a superpower. I think the term sabotage is correct.
