so many takes like "if this works out as a success it's a massive W for America" that refuse to offer any idea of what success looks like or what kind of time frame we're talking
people are fundamentally incapable of thinking beyond next week
"Sir, incoming missile barrage from the American cruisers!"
"Hit Dubai again."
“Israeli rockets are raining down on Tehran!”
"Hit Dubai again."
“We've lost contact with the Ayatollah, reports of smoke rising from his location!”
"Hit Dubai again."
"no you idiot, this isn't another drawn out quagmire like Iraq or Afghanistan because we don't actually give a shit about doing regime change instead we're just gonna blow up a bunch of random shit for two weeks and call it a victory"

My child kept falling off her old sticks and was too big for her cave so I got her a huge ass cork wood for better basking and cave stuff
If you like Deadlock and its lore you would LOVE hit ttrpg FIST ULTRA since its systems easily let you make a weirdo little freak
Every bit of polling that shows "yea if you understand anything about politics you are like 80% likely to vote Dem" really shines through with small scale elections with low turn out. The liberals LOVE to vote and WILL show up to random special elections lmao
The SAVE America Act isn’t saving anyone.
Congress should be expanding access to the ballot box—not restricting it. This bill could make it harder for millions of married women to vote if it passes. It’s voter suppression disguised in the name of election security.
I will be voting HELL no.
Thank you!! Hopefully more of this Congress is starting to realize that this is a moral issue. It’s no longer political.
Do the right thing.
And means they can’t stand quietly by while he ruins our #constitution
it’s really crazy how, in the course of three weeks, we’ve gone from “wow he’s really out there chasing ICE” to it being a point of total consensus among many that I am “working with the feds.” a bizarre demonstration of how social environments Online just microwave people’s brains
Really don’t need to hear third party voters complaining about people who voted for Kamala. Look at where we are right now.
this is also the case for every leftist who hears about the labor theory of value for the first time
the " #deadlock fanart " as promised
Deadlock dares to ask the question "what if we made a MOBA and a team based shooter that's actually fun?"
No the “anarchists in bloc” flocking in to fight ICE are very specifically interlopers. Minneapolis is being protected by ordinary neighbors using tactics that they are comfortable with and can learn. That’s why there are tens of thousands of people involved.
What real heroism looks like is you drive past a school and it’s 7am and it’s -3 out and there are four dads posted at every door scanning every passing car to be sure it’s not someone coming to take the children. And you drive by at noon and they’re there. And you drive by at 3pm and they’re there
Yes, the demand here in Minneapolis is not for total war against police, or for revolution. It is that ICE, which is ruining this city, leave immediately, so we can go back to our lives.
That’s the reason for the scale of the opposition and its unanimity. The problem is simple; so is the solution.
Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition bros are eating good
All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.
it worked out

Thank you chen for being the one character with a noticable emotional range that sometimes is funny and feels human, cause a lot of these other fuckers are just talking deadpan into the mic and are being carried by the occasional facial expressions.
Arknights endfield is so good in every way that isn't it's story, cause atm the motivations I'm being given are so cookie cutter I'm literally operating on "I'm sure it will get better later" as my sole motivation to engage with the plot lmao.
The only way this doesn't happen is if we get like decades of economic collapse and unending death and hardship while the GOP just refuses to give up power, which does seem to be the direction things are going. The future seems unendingly bleak.
BOTH times he ran for presidency his four year record of shitty actions were completely memory holed and forgotten. Suddenly vast numbers of people simply started acting like the GOP didn't do endless horrible policies while supporting a complete idiot.
Yes the president is a complete mad man, and yes all the Republicans in power in every branch of government are doing nothing at all to even remotely curtail his actions, but down the line we might have to take electoral actions against the GOP so nothing going on atm will be remembered.
I love my roaches; it's a shame they exist to be fed to my lizard, who I love significantly more.
This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.
This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

Mamdani on Minnesota: "It's terrifying to see what's happening there ... I said this directly to the president: these ICE raids are cruel, they're inhumane, they do nothing to deliver that public safety. In fact what they do is leave a sense of fear amongst so many."
None of what's happening is even a surprise to me, but apparently, large chunks of people simple didnt think he would be this bad, didn't care, or thought these events were simply inevitable. These people decided to ruin the lives of literally billions of people all across the world for no reason
all of this could be stopped by just twenty Republicans choosing to do the right thing by valuing their loyalty to the Constitution and the American people more than their loyalty to Donald Trump
this is, of course, practically impossible
