Has Khamenei considered purchasing a Trump phone plan? That might forestall a bombing campaign

the right hand salutes but the tiny left hand wants to dance to YMCA so badly (shamelessly stolen from seth meyers)

You know, I don't have a problem with sexual harassment being something that permanently disqualifies someone from holding public office.

You would like to think emotional appeals to decency like this would cause people like Lee and his staff to reflect on their choices, but my guess is his staffers passed it around and wrote "lol cry more lib"

He hopes to provoke a violent backlash so he can justify harsher measures. We will respond peacefully, but with unyielding determination.

The nonpartisan Government Accountability Office says the Trump administration broke the law by withholding funding for the nation’s libraries as part of its federal reorganization plan. The G.A.O. will sue if the administration continues to block funds already approved by Congress.

Sent to me from a source who took this video yesterday who says LAPD pushed an unhoused person walking in the crosswalk. The fall caused the woman’s head to crack open. LAPD dragged and left her bleeding on the sidewalk, providing no medical care. The person a group of onlookers took her to the ER.

No matter what right wingers complain about Biden, my response is always, “at least Joe Biden was not a fascist”. Or “at least Kamala Harris was not a fascist”. Because really, nothing is worse than that.

Hey police everywhere: STOP USING HORSES AS WEAPONS. STOP TRAMPLING PEOPLE BECAUSE YOU DON’T LIKE THEIR WORDS. THIS IS NOT THEIR PURPOSE, AND IT IS ANIMAL ABUSE

@maddow.msnbc.com HOMER ALASKA AGAIN! No Kings and PRIDE.

“Not All Kings” lol

What's lower than no class? MTG thought it was a good time to post this selfie hours after two Democrats and their spouses were shot in Minnesota with two of them dying at the scene.

Augustus formed the Praetorian Guard to occupy Rome as a garrisoned city for the 1st time in its history. It was an unprecedented move & he at 1st hid praetorians in plain clothes in the city of Rome. So, no: fuck the Praetorian Guard & all people who imitate it to justify their horrendous violence.

Ray Troll speaks for most Alaskans.

It's here, it's there, it's everywhere! No Kings! No Kings! Near 5th St in Anchorage Ak

You know who didn't identify themselves? The thugs who assaulted Senator Padilla.

Since Trump inauguration: Gaza escalated, Ukraine escalated, Israel-Iran escalated. Trump is a walking permission slip to every strongman to do whatever they want, and it propelling the world into ever-more violence and chaos

NEWSOM: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, Putin, dictators that are weak… How weak do you have to be to commandeer the military for your birthday?“

Does anyone want to lay odds on whether TACO will have a generalissimo uniform for his parade tomorrow?

man what is this country coming to when people have to apply for menial jobs because criming alone won’t pay the bills

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

Double.

Nothing says law and order like publicly fantasizing about 18th-century mob violence.

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

Trump, who recently paid Ashli Babbitt's family $5 million and has floated the idea of reparations for January 6 rioters, calls protesters in Los Angeles "paid insurrectionists."

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.
