If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

it is funny how many people affiliated with the secret police have had to say "stop making fun of the secret police, the guy in the tac vest that covers him like a training bra is a hero, he tracked down and subdued two hospice orderlies using only the W-2 forms they file annually"

10 reasons not to rank Andrew Cuomo at all

Something I can't understand: when someone sees a guy in a police uniform doing violent, ridiculously stupid things and they say "No way that's law enforcement. That's a J6 rioter working as a bounty hunter" Have you SEEN cops? This is how they always act. It's not new behavior.

An important thing to remember in light of SCOTUS’ ruling on gender affirming care for minors: it does not ban this care. It allows states to enact laws to ban it. Michigan does not have such a law, and gender affirming care should still be available. 🏳️‍⚧️

My friend @kellylynnedang.bsky.social has written something powerful and heartbreaking and sadly necessary. There are so many awful things happening right now. The media likes to decide which ones deserve our attention. This story deserves so much more.

this is a sith lightsaber, from the war. I keep it on a shelf right next to my stormtrooper armor and imperial officer’s uniform. I’ve even got a verified chunk of the death star from yavin. I’m just a collector. I just think the history is interesting. no, I don’t have any rebel stuff

Soderburgh's Kafka. I loved this movie immensely. I saw it three times in the theater, and I told producer Stuart Cornfeld as much. "Why?!" He asked, frustrated. "No one liked it!" Why I couldn't answer, but love it I did. It was a magical movie for me, haven't seen it in 30 years or more.

Most folks don’t really pay attention to international news, but for those of us who have family at risk of being killed by the bombs we send, we’ve been watching Bibi cry wolf about Iran being “weeks” away from having a bomb for 29 years. I’m 32.

Governor Newsom may defend us in speech, but he's voting to kill. His proposed budget for 2026 targets elderly, disabled, and undocumented Californians, and strips them of access to healthcare.

for all of the praise of law enforcement we've seen since Saturday, it's now clear cops had at least two opportunities to prevent Vance Boelter from murdering Melissa Hortman and her husband but failed to do so.

Cuomo doesn’t just get to rehabilitate himself from sexual harassment because he’s rich and powerful. He gets to because he’s a man. It’s the same situation for everyday, ordinary men, while women from all walks of life are not just denied justice but punished for asking for it

The thing about science is when it works, people don't realise it because it just eliminates the problem. Take quicksand. In the 80s it was a HUGE issue, it was everywhere. Now its mostly eradicated and we barely give it a thought, but ask any kid from the 80s, they'll tell you what it was like then

Seeing the NYT talk about its reporter embedding with ICE makes me uncomfortable. You simply aren't doing unbiased journalism if you've accepted the parameters for doing that, and it's no different than embedding with an organized crime ring.

It is useful to be precise in our language about the Democratic party. There is an institutional Democratic party establishment that is lost and failing us right now. But when we use "Democrats" as a catch-all, there are whole swaths of activated everyday folks we alienate.
