Is it possible that the Army's pathetic performance at the Trump parade was intentionally shading?

Minneapolis… San Diego… Folks are pushing back. This is only going to get worse.

New Yorkers: Has anyone noticed that OMNY is crap? I can't refill the card online. They can't tell me how much I've spent, or where, or when. Some stations have MetroCard but no OMNY machines. Some stations have OMNY but no MetroCard machines. 1/ @mta.info

I truly hate statements, whether lengthy essays or soundbites, that start, "We can't...". Well, obviously we could. And we did. Especially egregious is when they offer no practical recommendations on how to prevent whatever it is we "can't" let happen. [Screenshot, not reposting.]

The White House Correspondents’ Association said it fired host Amber Ruffin so it can instead focus the dinner on celebrating the First Amendment. Which apparently can be done best by preventing a gay black woman from speaking.

If it’s not classified: release it all. Goldberg should publish it. They’ve said it’s not classified. Ok then. Let’s stick it in bright daylight.

Our first major sale of the year! In-store and online. April 1st-4th: The CULLING. Hugely discounted books, priced to get them the heck out of the shop. Discounts include but not limited to; $3 Manga, half priced sets, $2 #1s, 50% and 75% off sections. And more!

The Sunday shows are keeping it real—Schumer gave away the game for nothing. Jen Psaki lays out what he could have done. He played this wrong on every level. And with a Social Security, Medicare, and a tax cut fight coming, do you really want @schumer.senate.gov leading the fight?!

First off, Pete Hegseth is a disgrace and should be fired. Second, instead of being an asshole and trash-talking the journalist, he should be thanking him for not posting anything top-secret that’s still to come.

Every single Democratic lawmaker should be calling for Hegseth's immediate resignation right now. Not just some. Not just a few dozen. Every single one, starting at the top with Mr. Schumer and Mr. Jeffries. And the fact that it hasn't happened yet is nearly as shocking as Hegseth's conduct.

Less than a year ago, Chuck Schumer praised Joe Biden for his patriotism and extraordinary selflessness. Chuck needs to learn from that example and do what’s right for the party, not what’s right for Chuck Schumer. As July 2024 Chuck might say, it’s time to pass the torch…

If you want a one sentence summary of Indian traffic and society, yesterday a Tesla in my parents hometown overturned after being sideswiped by a bullock cart

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

“Only one deal truly matters." The four founders of the cybersecurity company Wiz, who just made a $32 billion deal with Google, have bought a sign in Tel Aviv with a message promoting a hostage deal. Israelis are demanding the hostages come home 🎗️

The path back to power for the Democratic Party is to be the party that gets shit done.

if you kill your kid by not allowing them to be vaccinated you can get a full time grifter job in the anti vax movement but if a school shooter kills your kid you'll get smeared by the same people that make anti-vax child killers their heroes. the commonality is they all love it when kids die

Hey @altnps.bsky.social ! Isn't it time to start planning a massive March on Washington, presumably to be organized by Veteran and Labor organizations along with mainstream organizations representing the victims of the "anti-DEI" Revenge of Incompetent Straight White Men? Labor Day 2025?

It's amazing how many of these 60 year old Italian comics I've been studying still feel relevant in today's world.

hahahahaha Do you think it matters? He doesn't expect to ever need MAGA voters again when there are no elections.

Well, Kirsten, you shouldn’t have empowered Trump by voting for the CR. Just sayin’.

Schumer needs to quit. He’s useless. Completely clueless.

The fascist regime extends its censorship campaign.

It is clear that some of us understand the present danger & some don’t! I stand by the NO vote on the blank check for Trump & Elon… I’ve got no explanation nor agreement with Senate Dems being complicit in Trump’s Tyranny.

If Chuck Schumer votes for cloture tomorrow, it’s proof that he’s weak and is a clear sign that we need new Democratic leadership. Polling shows that only 22% of independents would blame Democrats for a shutdown, while 56% would blame the GOP or Trump. Americans want Democrats to FIGHT, not CAVE!!!

WTF, Chuck?!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? WHAT THE FUCK, CHUCK?

I have to say: Chuck Schumer is a weak man and a fool. This was the one cudgel Dems had. Now it's up to the courts which we new from the beginning were at best going to slow some things down. There's 18 hours left to somehow bring additional pressure to bear. It will be really hard to do that.

Schumer is a disgrace

@schumer.senate.gov If you vote for cloture you are a stain on this country’s history that will never go away. You are willingly passing power to a tyrant in waiting, and you are a disgrace to every oath of office any senator has ever sworn. Your legacy will be one of cowardice and contempt.

Just in case there's anyone out there who does not know: For any non-Jew to say that someone is or isn't a Jew is *by definition* antisemitism. For any non-Jew to say that someone is a "good" Jew or a "bad" Jew is *by definition* antisemitism. No, there's no wiggle room.

72.5% of Israelis believe Netanyahu should take responsibility for Oct. 7 and resign https://www.timesofisrael.com/72-5-of-israelis-believe-netanyahu-should-take-responsibility-for-oct-7-and-resign/

Every day I leave a message for Schumer saying in different words: We are at war and Dems need to act like it.
