Conflict of Good and Evil - Daphne Odjig, 1966

Here is Why I’m Sending Issues of ‘The Onion’ To Every Member Of Congress. Click here to read The Onion’s open letter to Congress: theonion.com/letter-to-co...

If people really find this to be such an easy conclusion, then Congressional authority should be easy to get. So why don’t they insist on a vote? They know this isn’t “progressive” resistance. They want to marginalize it as such because on top of this war being ILLEGAL, it’s also deeply unpopular.

I was briefed on the intelligence last week. Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

Exactly. People like JD NEED you to quote-dunk to disseminate their trash. And when you do that, you're not getting off a sweet burn; you're being his volunteer street team. Good on everyone for seeing through the bullshit. We know their playbook by now, and oughta act like it.

i think it’s not talked about enough that so many christian rightwingers support israel because they want to trigger the end times rapture and they believe supporting israel will ensure this

This is great. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social on SubwayTakes. www.instagram.com/reel/DLNE2H3...

The Democrats’ biggest brand challenge is that voters don’t think the believe in anything The Democrats’ biggest operational challenge is a leadership that consistently proves those skeptical voters correct

This was not a full-page ad I was expecting to see in the Sunday NYTimes today

"The culture of Andrew Cuomo’s leadership has been built on toxic, brutal tactics that allowed him to perform capability while in fact being extremely bad at the job of governing."

“Cuomo’s whole concept of leadership is rooted in manipulation, braying meanness, the belief that he should never have to face consequences; it’s the accrual of power built not on accomplishment or innate talent, but on the diminishment, disrespect and objectification of others.”

Hate to keep saying this, but: Jesus.

Analysis | If Iran responds to the bombing by staging a terrorist attack on an American city, the Democratic mayor of that city will have blood on their hands.

Americans and Iranians have a lot in common, such as that in both countries supreme power actually rests with a small group of unaccountable theocrats appointed for life.

It's a good thing a protracted war in the Middle East isn't something anyone remembers.

Discworld QOTD, from Monstrous Regiment “Stopping a battle is much harder than starting it. Starting it only requires you to shout ‘Attack!’ but when you want to stop it, everyone is busy.”

Discworld QOTD, from Guards! Guards! “But we were dragons. We were supposed to be cruel, cunning, heartless and terrible. But this much I can tell you, we never burned and tortured and ripped one another apart and called it morality.”

The hardest rule of Beltway journalism is that Republican public officials have no agency and bear no responsibility for choices fully within their discretion

Solar + storage is now $104 per MWh in Las Vegas or similar regions for nearly 100% clean firm power. There is no way new nuclear can compete with this. Even new gas plants will struggle and that is assuming access to cheap gas over the life-cycle of the plant, which is kind of a crazy gamble TBH.

I thought LA had been burned to the ground. Again.

Mamdani's position here is excellent, and it's notable that he's become a major voice in lib-left FP just because the national power vacuum is so hard and the media demands statements of Muslims

Been fascinating seeing Zohran Mamdani getting the Corbyn treatment. It's basically the textbook now for smearing the left.

Old enough to remember ...

We must acknowledge that the accusations I've made about my opponent are no less troubling merely because I made them up

Trump is not a "dove" but my reading of his trimuphalist "we blew it all up it is over" rhetoric is he wants this shit off the tv in a couple of days and he will be mad when it isn't
