the Democratic Party is going to be handed a windfall current leadership is utterly incapable of exploiting and we need there to be consequences for this time.

Oh, and by the way, corporations aren't entitled to refunds from Trump’s illegal tariffs. Consumers paid those tariffs. You and I paid them. The prices went up for no reason at all, and they remain higher because hey, why not? Free profits.

Tax the corporations. They're ripping us all off.

Prison time won't even be enough

✝️ A Holy War Against Iran? Mehdi on the Republican religious nutjobs pining for Armageddon in the Middle East. Plus: the latest on the Iran school bombing and, for once, a disgraced Republican is shamed into quitting politics.

It’s pathetic that on the same day we learn that Russia is helping Iran target Americans, Trump grants a waiver allowing India to buy Russian oil during the Iran war.

Trump is helping Russia, a country helping Iran kill Americans.

Trump is a massive traitor

Remember to vote blue no matter who! Otherwise, we might have an effective opposition party.

What they voted for.

ameriKKKa is a reckless, immature, and juvenile power.

Power without wisdom, maturity, and restraint is inherently unstable....

Hats off (or maybe hats on!) to Time magazine for its cover.

What Peace Council doing?

Not bad for someone elected on a promise of no more wars, who evaded call ups himself.

The U.S. should be ashamed

Free Estefany Rodriguez.

it is kinda wild to me how most Republicans in Congress almost got themselves lynched running their mouths about 2020, and proceeded to forget all about it roughly 3 hours later

Tickled that I was the 666th like of this awesome post

Who's gonna put her in jail? The "opposition" party that said they'd impeach her then waited 5 weeks for Trump to do it for them?

Contributor: U.S. attack on Iran echoes Russia's invasion of Ukraine It's disturbing for the U.S. to be playing the role of the aggressor. Equally disturbing is to see mistakes of the Iraq War already being repeated.

Iran is not Ukraine, but the United States is acting more like Russia.

@jilldlawrence.bsky.social on the uncomfortable comparison:

CBS News ratings are low, but they can be much lower. Friends do not let friends watch CBS News

We keep killing their kids, after we've utterly dehumanized them, & rationalize doing so—we have Congressmen/women who regularly insult their entire religion & demonize them, accusing them of trying to impose their faith on us, & after they bury their children we ludicrously wonder why they hate us.

a cartoon of two people in suit jackets standing, speaking. over the man on the left reads "REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS" and he's saying "i want everyone to die" while over the woman on the right it says "DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS" and she's saying "i don't, but that's cool. How can I help" as she reaches out her hand

WASHINGTON-Democrats criticized Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's planned appearance at a political fundraiser next week for Rep. Zach Nunn (R., Iowa), saying the event is ill-timed given the war in Iran. Hegseth is scheduled to headline the "Top Gun"-themed event in Iowa for Nunn, who represents the district where four of the U.S. service members killed in Kuwait were stationed before deployment. The fundraiser —billed in promotional materials as "Operation Top Nunn: A Salute to the Troops!" —comes as Hegseth has publicly cautioned that more American casualties could follow. Hours before the Pentagon released the names of four of the six troops killed after the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran, Nunn announced that the defense secretary would attend. Tickets for the event are priced as high as $3,500.

This one has so many perfectly American elements that it deserves to be in the time capsule about how stupid this era was.

When billionaires can buy politicians, courts, and deregulation, you don't have a democracy

Elizabeth Warren lays out about the maximum liberals are willing to do.

Liberals are willing to say, it would be good if someone else did this.

Climate change orgs never seemed appropriately critical of Biden's Ukraine policy or Biden's genocide policy.

Heartbreaking, yet beautiful. We have so much to learn from kids
they are so resilient.

I’m watching Robocop—bc why not escape to a world where corporate overlords direct state violence—and just got to the part with this fake ad for the family game “NUKEM: get them before they get you.”

Little on the nose.

Nothing says, "Moms and Dads, your kids'll be dying for oil" quite like guaranteeing safe passage of tankers through a war zone.
