Leavitt claims that Trump has been against Iran having a nuke "his entire life"

People who say “I vote for the person, not the party” would never vote a straight party ticket. They just vote individually for every single Republican.

I love good poetry

I Love These 😂

Prayers for allergies, jokes for murders. I will say it again, Mike Lee can go fuck himself.

The observance of Juneteenth calls us to recommit ourselves to the work of equity, equality, and justice. Each June 19, and especially today in Minnesota, we are reminded of our incredible capacity to heal, hope, and emerge from our darkest moments with purpose and resolve.

Conserving our environment is an American value. From hikers to hunters we want to keep our public lands public! Thats why the unprecedented sell-off of millions of acres of public lands needs to be removed from the Senate Budget Bill. Nature is non partisan! 🇺🇸 Pass it on!

Leavitt on Trump's rationale for possible Iran strikes: "The president hears all voices across the country, and he makes decisions based on his instincts."

I put that shit on everything

Damn...looked up JD Vance's account to block him...only to find I already had.

@jd-vance-1.bsky.social Dickhead you are Catholic, are you aware what evangelical nutcases consider Catholics? I would expect you to follow someone like Joel Osteen. Didn’t want to add to his $.Plenty fake Christian Pastors out there just avoid the ones getting busted for pedophilia every week.

Vice President JD Vance (@jd-vance-1.bsky.social‬) is the most-blocked account on Bluesky, less than a day after joining

@jd-vance-1.bsky.social Welcome to Bluesky! We just released an ad that we think you'll love.

Trump been holed up in the White House all week and the best he could come up with on Iran is "I'll let you know in two weeks-ish." To call it theater of the absurd is too kind.

This is as big a lie as anything the Bush folks said in 2003. Demonstrably false.

SpaceX is short for SpaceXplode

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

Emotions are unpredictable I heard the hortmans dog was also killed and i burst into tears

He has started to destroy the White House rose garden because he wants a Mar-a-Lago-style patio This makes me so fucking sad & angry

"Trump’s second term is about correcting the errors of his first. In 2020, Trump’s plan to seize voting machines was blocked from within the government, but the WH is now staffed by loyalists. And with Trump deploying the military to US cities, he'll have boots on the ground to execute his plans."

Today is Juneteenth...it commemorates the effective end of slavery in the United States.

since younger people are asking how shockingly stupid things were in 2003, may I present to you this circa-03 sign that I bought from a local restaurant and their (unrelated) going out of business sale a few years later

OMG YES… say that‼️ @tarasetmayer.bsky.social nails it. Honestly, we’ve been waiting for politicians to catch up to where the people are—and it’s getting damn late!

Anyway, the world is very loud after you return from backpacking in temperate rain forest.

“We will go to Mars in three years!” Maybe in tiny little pieces.

"Trump has been briefed on both the risks and the benefits of bombing Fordo, Iran's most secure nuclear site, and his mindset is that disabling it is necessary because of the risk of weapons being produced in a relatively short period of time, multiple sources told CBS News."

I don't know about you...but I'm disturbed by the amount of hell NOT being raised by leadership about masked individuals jumping out of unmarked vans, refusing to identify themselves...and just shoving people into a Goddamn vehicle and whisking them away.

Gift: Are ICE agents wearing masks due to increased assaults on them, or to avoid accountability? Phil Bump takes a deep dive into the data ICE is using to justify the masks. The data is murky. Assault is wrong, but I assert that the masks actually increase the risk of assaults. wapo.st/4l7a1ch

DELETE!

I can’t imagine being active duty military and being asked to go to war by someone too lazy to attend their daily intel briefing.

Add this to our list of concerns- Erick is rapidly intensifying into a rare June hurricane for Mexico. It’s a clear warning. The climate is shifting fast but the U.S. is cutting NOAA and NWS funding and stockpiling guns instead of preparing for disasters.

The rubes never learn.
