The Republican Party:

The Discourse has become sort of numb to the fact that the richest guy on earth and owner of a major social media platform just routinely spits out the kind of nakedly white supremacist shit that until a decade ago you rarely saw outside of places like Stormfront.

This is bonkers. I don't think I've seen a better shot in curling, _ever_.

Trump threatens to withhold his signature on bills until Congress passes the SAVE Act.
Wow. Devastating leverage...

EXCEPT the Constitution says that bills passed while Congress is in session become law automatically after 10 days with OR without his signature.
So he's threatening to do - nothing.

“I didn’t vote for THIS,” say the manosphere podcasters who simply had no way of knowing that Trump would lie about being a populist to get into office and then govern like a autocratic lunatic once in power, other than the fact that he did it for 4 entire years before that.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

“But we’re not responsible for other people!!!”

Human beings formed societies for many reasons but the most important is survival. And now instead of protecting our community members, we let a few dozen sociopaths exploit and torture our vulnerable neighbours.

Literally everything Trump promised was a lie, but those of us who knew better and warned everyone have to pay the same price as all the idiots that believed him.

The only fools are the ones who believe anything you say.

Another American service member died today in the Middle East.

Historian here no literary scholar but here we are

Fuck him. He'd rather fund the bombing of school children and the gassing and poisoning of a city of millions than find a god damn spine.

If trump was a Russian asset trying to destroy America, what would he do differently?

Since I was asked for receipts about the Proton CEO (I don't take homework assignments on social media but someone else was kind enough to bring the details)

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

It’s Inevitable, if you hand power to members of a death cult, whether it’s MAGA or evangelicals or fascists, that they will destroy your country and if given the chance the world. There’s no navigating it, no avoiding it other than to keep them from power indefinitely.

Right Wing death cults are predicated first and foremost on a self-hatred that is then projected out onto the rest of the world. Their members hate themselves and are constantly sabotaging themselves and inflicting their pain on others. What they desire most is self-annihilation.

A cool thing is that religious death cults like American Evangelicals are so obsessed with their paranoid and unhinged fears l that when they are granted even a bit of power they move heaven and earth to manifest them in the world and create the Armageddon they have always desired.

Trump now blocking terror threat warnings because it makes him look bad.

“They don’t want anything getting out that says what they’re doing in Iran is raising the threat level at home.”

Until the baseline public response is "I am certain this initial thing you are telling me is false," the lying will continue

And we will never get to that baseline response because there are legions of people who masturbate to the thought of armed government thugs shooting people they don't like

And to prevent any "oh it's just mid-gesture frame take out of context" you can see full motion here bsky.app/profile/patr...

i don't care about any arguments against this. right now the sum total of my political advocacy is: crush the Republicans and make them pay. i don't care what comes after because until we do that nothing better is possible.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

That Iranian Navy ship we torpedoed had no ammunition on board because that was a requirement to participate in the MILAN 2026 exercise (organized by the Indian Navy).

The US Navy knew this because IT ALSO PARTICIPATED IN THE EXERCISE. What a national embarrassment.

us adults, foolish idiots: “but what does ‘six seven’ mean?”

THE CHILDREN, harbingers tapping into the immortal zeitgeist: “$6 gas now, $7 gas tomorrow, hahahahHahahHAHAHAHAHA”

"Right after they say the economy is awesome, the next jobs report is pretty devastating... [and] he can't even blame some 'woke BLS administrator' because he got rid of that person."

Neera Tanden and Tim Miller discuss Trump's jobs problem and the trap his admin. is falling into.

Iran retaliated with missile and drone bombardments against U.S. bases and allied territory, targeting military facilities across the Gulf, including Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. One Iranian drone killed six American service members at a U.S. command center in Kuwait. Asked whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump acknowledges the possibility. “I guess,” he says. “But I think they’re worried about that all the time. We think about it all the time. We plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things. Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die."

Donald Trump’s White House is blocking top US intelligence agencies from warning law enforcement across the country about rising threats to the homeland tied to his war with Iran, the Daily Mail can reveal. The FBI, Homeland Security, and the National Counterterrorism Center were preparing to put out a joint intelligence statement on Friday to state and local authorities alerting them of a heightened threat due to the ongoing war in Iran, a senior DHS official said. The bulletin, which was reviewed by the Daily Mail, details 'elevated threats by the government of Iran to US military and government personnel and facilities, Jewish and Israeli institutions and their perceived supporters, and Iranian dissidents and other anti-regime activists in the United States.' 'Radicalized individuals with a variety of ideological backgrounds also may see this conflict or other geopolitical events as a justification for violence,' the report continues. The five-page bulletin blocked by the White House provides specific details on how Iranian proxies may carry out attacks across the country. One section explains how local law enforcement can respond to this type of violence. The official title is 'A Public Safety Awareness Report: Elevated threat in the United States during US-Iran conflict'. Homeland Security broke protocol and gave the White House a heads-up about the nationwide bulletin hours before it was set to be released. Top Trump officials ordered it placed on ‘hold’. The White House did not deny blocking the terror bulletin in a statement to the Daily Mail.

Time: Asked if Americans should be worried abt attacks at home: I guess.

Daily Mail: The White House blocked release of FBI/NCTC warning of elevated risks.

This dude is the bad guy in every single movie made about high school ever
