DISASTROUS. This means they will send people to horrific situations with no due process — in direct violation of promises the Solicitor General made to the Court in previous cases. This greenlights sending people to be enslaved in Libya or tortured in any random foreign country.

the entire series of complex historical events that lead to the discussion of geopolitical issues by a bunch of tradespeople over their lunch break at a random jobsite in Virginia on this date was a gigantic fucking mistake

I’ll forgive them not knowing about Hadrian, but Goldwater and Reagan being chopped liver is very funny

The Pentagon ordered a diversionary flight of B-2 bombers as misdirection, per NYT, because they were afraid Trump was giving the attack away to Iran via his social media posts www.nytimes.com/2025/06/23/b...

Whatever happens tomorrow Zohran and crew have run one of the best campaigns I've seen. CLEAR MESSAGING of what he wants to do, pummeling Cuomo while keeping a smile, no scandals, the NY media can't find a single personal thing to play against him and THEY ARE PISSED, no infighting stories.

fuck a heat dome, that’s what I say. nobody invited you!!!

Extreme heat from climate change creates major health risks for people experiencing homelessness, a group already susceptible to health issues. Charlottesville needs a permanent shelter ASAP so that unhoused people can be safer year round.

they should make a way out other than through

Bill Clinton’s just chilling in his living room, watching ICE kidnappings on tv, when the sex pest election trouble alarm goes off in his kitchen. “Not cuomo,” he says to himself. “Not another member of the brotherhood”

I think that if you were not familiar with the supposed political values of the Democratic Party, its performance over the last five months would lead you to conclude that they are primarily a pro-genocide party with center right economics and a fierce commitment to loyalty and gate keeping.

really sums up the media’s coverage of the Trump presidency

illegal war started by a man constitutionally ineligible to be president

at least toby keith is dead this time

lets be clear that while this is trump's decision and trump's war this has been schumer's wet dream for DECADES. democratic leadership is complicit and we will all suffer for their cruelty and cowardice.

I know this can sound kind of silly at a time like this, but doing a war without congressional authorization is ample grounds for impeachment

well this is dumb and evil and going to really suck

>finding out we started a war from a truth social post

Masked ICE agents spotted swapping out license plates this morning in Bell Gardens, CA

We take reality as it appears to us for granted. Now, as in the present where you are sitting and reading or in considering the world around you, only makes any sense because you have a Then to reference. AI evangelists want to transform our understanding of Then in order to impose their own Now.

holy shit! well this is an incredibly pleasant and very unexpected surprise

fixing this shit is probably the single most important financial action that will be necessary to bring the US back into at least some shambling pretense of a democratic state.

man lives 10 minutes from kings dominion and spends his time watching fox news and hunting brown people. go ride a roller coaster you dumb asshole

Day by passing day, we are watching what amounts to a national police riot by ICE. But what worries me is that what we are witnessing is not the actions of an agency that believes it will ever be subject to meaningful oversight or legal authority ever again. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-believ...

yeah that tracks.

Hugely important pushback against those people who said that Trump was going to get a boost from the LA unrest. No. The average member of the public seems to be able to distinguish between bad acts of individual rioters and the broader reasons for the unrest, which is Trump and ICE’s overreach.

ah yes, the famously effective and sustainable tactic of playing whack-a-mole against geographically distributed resistance

Happy 50th anniversary to the movie Jaws. This is probably the greatest line in cinema history:

The conservative movement is lying about basically every empirical "debate" of our time, from climate change to voter fraud to vaccines. Why is it so impossible for reactionary centrists to contemplate the possibility they're lying about trans healthcare too?

Ward Sakeik is married to an American, has a pending green card application, owns a home in Texas, and has never been to Israel-Palestine. Why did ICE arrest her on her honeymoon and try deporting her to a country she's never seen? My latest for FWST: www.star-telegram.com/opinion/brad...

struck yet again by how painlessly efficient most labor is when the people who think their job is to make things painfully efficient aren’t around
