the prophecy is fulfilled

I am so tired of these shabby, pitiful little men. They stink of the sly connivance previously dominated by cheap carnival barkers and two cent grifters. They are odious, shallow, and a blight against the existence of honest people and a society that values trust.

For everyone who has been asking me how to get one of the shirts @jay.bsky.team wore yesterday... Stay tuned. Bluesky team has you covered.

if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence. This is a campaign of eradication. www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/rcna...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortex condemned ICE’s detainment of Mahmoud Khalil, calling it a “tyrannical” move. “If the federal government can disappear a legal US permanent resident without reason or warrant, then they can disappear US citizens too."

Sounds like a great security team you've got there, dude who's wormed his way into SSA databases.

Hellloooooo

There are too many examples of military operations that are successful or fail due to weather. It’s not like one of the jobs of the S2 is to brief weather and its impact on operations. We really are being led by a bunch of subpar GWOT officers who couldn’t make it pass CPT or MAJ.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

This is how this starts, folks. Wake up.

Roku gin martini. Because I’m tired.

West Virginia went 70% for Trump, but as they lose their jobs, voters there are now publicly regretting their choice. The state has the highest % of workers employed by the federal government of *any* state. www.reuters.com/world/us/dog...

Yes, my economic plan will cause short term pain. But after that you won't feel the pain anymore because you'll be dead

It’s true. Target lost my biz for life. S&S became dog vomit long ago. The list is getting longer, and the alternatives make me happier.

Thread:

Folks in Indiana. Take note of this article and look at what your Republic state government is doing to your public education.

Clear-eyed and data driven:

Goddamn company wouldn’t exist without Nearest Green. Hypocrites.

The Supreme Court decision should have been 9-0. The fact it was 5-4 reveals how utterly compromised the bench is in favor of right-wing authoritarianism.

📌ADVICE: When in doubt, ask yourself what John Lewis would have done.

We really are God’s perfect idiots. America is “exceptional,” alright

World’s richest dude went with the Budget SS look.

Space Ghost Coast to Coast was such a formative part of my sense of humor. RIP George

-2.8%. Really, really bad. Q4 2008 was -1.9%.

Good lord.

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

THIS.

Ah, so she was cool with all the murderous bigotry until it started to affect her. Got it.

I’m going to be angry for a very long time about how this time in history made it feel like being a good person was somehow political

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

If you can accept that Ukraine caused this war and that Russia is a victim, you will now believe anything. You have discarded free will and liberty. You have sacrificed Christian discernment and the ability to assess truth. You are a slave of tyranny.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy is EVERYTHING the civilian pukes in the White House wish they were: masculine, powerful and charismatic. They hate him because his presence reveals their cosplay. Zelenskyy will go down as one of the great heroic figures of the 21st century

Anger. Righteous anger. We need more of it in this country.

Trump and Vance are shamefully doing Putin’s bidding right from the Oval Office. It’s an absolute disgrace. I’m filled with rage as I watch this. I stand with all of you who believe deeply in the ideals of freedom and democracy. I’m disgusted by our president bending a knee to Putin.

RFK really missed the simplest lesson of LBJ’s career, try not to get any kids killed if your name rhymes with “how many kids did you kill today”

it's like watching ants find their way around a puddle. you can do it little guys! keep working those tiny brains!
