Shameful.

Some thoughts on the current situation with Iran. Screenshot from the bad place.

Iran’s stockpile dropped to 0 after Obama made the Iran Deal… until Trump pulled out of it (against the advice of his own Defense Secretary, General Mattis… because he hated Obama) Feels pretty relevant in this moment.

Excuses I heard (paraphrasing): - She’s bad on Palestine. - She might get us into World War III. - I only care about my retirement account and inflation. - Her laugh is weird. I don’t trust her. Fuck every one of you.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

centrist: we need to focus on popular policy me: holy shit! you mean we’re finally going to support universal healthcare? centrist: no haha not that policy me: ok so…gun control? centrist: no lol not that policy either me: ok which policy? centrist: oh you know the ones

Who did this? 😂

I am so ashamed of my country.

This needs to be done to every Congresscritter who voted for this horrendous screw-the-poor-and-middle-class-to-give-rich-people-more-obscene-tax-cuts budget.

What a fucking stud Joe Biden must be to still be alive as the only person in history to live with Stage 9 cancer. Trump wishes he was a tenth as strong as Biden!

Disbanding ICE is the moderate position over what to do with them.

Also, how beautiful is the tallest peak in North America, Denali?

Disgusting. I hope someday these fascist monsters are brought to justice.

Is Pete the Feminazi that Rush Limbaugh kept going on and on about?

He lies about every little thing so often. Maybe he’s lied so many times that senile old Donny really believes this now. What’s sad is all of his MAGAt followers will believe him and not easily verified evidence. Facts still have to matter.

Republicans must be so proud 🤬

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

All of this.

I’m gobsmacked and now want a 🧁

"They want obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay the longer hours the reduced benefits the end of overtime and the vanishing pension" ~George Carlin

I will never understand how New Yorkers consistently elect the worst asshats as Mayor but right now polls say it’s deja vu all over again 🤬

The fascists’ next step. Infuriating. They must be stopped.

Gee, imagine that.

Over on The Hellsite, JD Vance has now functionally called for an end to due process for migrants. His argument is riddled with deceptions, bad faith, and embarrassingly awful logic. I think it needs a real response, so here's what I put up over there. First, his 20 million number is fiction. 1/

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

I look forward to seeing both of them on trial at The Hague.

Initial news reports didn’t reflect the severity of this fire at all.

America’s shame. People need to tried in The Hague for this.

"To that end, I have twenty questions for Mr. Rubio, and I encourage all reporters covering him and the State Department to be candid in seeking clarification on what constitutes 'anti-Christian bias' under his new policy..." charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/questions-...

Try not to laugh.

$100 for anyone to ask Trump or Bondi or the Press Secretary: “Even Sleepy Joe Biden could have him returned with just one phone call to the El Salvadoran President. Why can’t President Trump? Is he that weak and powerless that he can’t order this to be done?”

An entire year of gains, wiped out by Trump and the Republicans in just 4 days. How many 401Ks have they destroyed by driving our economy off a cliff?

This sums it all up.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

What a POS. Republicans have nothing but disdain for hard-working Americans.
