Watering the watermelon plants that sprouted from seeds I accidentally dropped on this gravel surface.

Trump says he gave Iran permission to bomb US airbase. Any other president would have been impeached before sunset www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/ju...

Yeah, man, and you spent your time destroying it.

I've seen a lot of denial on here today that Mamdani is a Dem, with either "he's DSA (complimentary)" or "he's DSA (derogatory)" &, like, listen, sorry to burst everyones bubbles by this is the man's fourth election as a Dem. He is in office as an elected Dem. Dems voted for him. Make peace w it lol

The DSA is gonna take over the Democratic Party, but only after Democrats take over the DSA.

I did this instead of anything important.

I'm getting negatively polarized into supporting the grocery stores tbh. Mamdani can't enforce the Robinson Patman act but where there are food deserts, why not try something that isn't a subsidy?

Zohran Mamdani, who just bested Cuomo in mayoralty primary, wants to bring universal "school-streets" (school-proximate streets closed to cars + trucks) to #NYC. That's made things a whole lot safer, and healthier, for kids in #Paris and #London, but until now, it's been a non-starter in the US.

YES

Sounds like progress…all things considered. www.latimes.com/environment/...

Funny thing is, my extremely Republican county has free public transportation because a county commissioner did the math and realized making all the buses free, not just the tourist beach trolley, was in fact cost effective because free buses convinces more people not to drive.

600 years ago, there were comic books

There are a million human interest stories about people dying because Trump illegally disbanded USAID, but reporting those stories would require NYT, CNN, etc, stop navel gazing for five minutes

I mean this is what it would sound like if you asked a fourth grader to imagine what a ceasefire would be like. and yet our entire political class is committed to never mentioning that the man is an imbecile

I was skeptical once, but this is where I am now. This court is both corrupt and so terrified of losing its legitimacy that it refuses to confront the president. Which of course only hastens the loss of its legitimacy.

This is the true final destination of a public and media that is completely and utterly incapable of knowing much less understanding things about the way the world works. It’s basically kabuki theatre as government. People say things and posture for the camera and it’s “governance”.

Oyoooo ! I don't have new stuff for the moment, but I will post some old to start my BlueSky. An old Street fighter fanart

For the sake of comparison, 9% of Americans approve of the Black Plague.

Wow.

Amazing how Obama painstakingly hammered out a deal to *actually* stop an Iranian nuclear weapon that Trump destroyed out of pique

honestly does seem like the basic dynamic in american politics right now is that a critical number of voters treat Democrats like their (nagging) mom or their (bitch) wife and treat Republicans like the “cool” dad or husband who is at best a deadbeat

dems should be on tiktok talking about trump drafting all of these shitforbrains zoomers wetting their pants. just lie, it’s fine

If you use chatgpt you're stupid. It's confirmed

The theme of this administration is anti-legitimacy. "Oh we can disappear people without convicting them of any crime, we can destroy whole agencies and departments unilaterally, we'll start wars on a whim." They really don't believe they have any responsibility to the people or the constitution

Nothing is a fucking distraction from anything it’s all the one thing

plum blossoms in rain fucken rainy plum blossoms all glinty n' shit

i genuinely think that if Trump fears that he is going to die, he will attempt to kill every other person on earth. he now has the means to do so.

Virtually every MAGA Republican will now fall in line, and there won't be a passing second of introspection or contrition among those who credulously adopted the "Donald the Dove" nonsense, who, it should be said, helped bring us to where we are today.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

The GOP’s takeaway from the so called forever wars of Iraq and Afghanistan wasn’t that we started it and had a war per say. It’s that we stayed and tried our hand at nation building which they see as gay & cringe and rather just have us kill a bunch of people, steal shit, and fuck off.
