#Florida is currently experiencing its worst drought in 25 years and several cities are considering moratoriums on new development.

This whole table is my Arya prayer list

i work with words for a living, so I am biased, but I really think we've got to bring back words. really useful if you imbue them with meaning and arrange them properly!

So, obviously this isn’t true. But if the CEO actually believes this nonsense, it implies he thinks maybe he’s enslaving a sentient being that has the capacity to feel emotional distress. And he hasn’t immediately halted operations to suss out how to resolve that?

Wait but Trump made American soldiers get on their knees to roll out the red carpet for Putin! I thought that would surely make him respect us

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.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

… I GUESS???? I GUESS?!?!!?!

DHS keeps the fuck plane. Lewandowski stays on it and he has to fuck. Markwayne's problem now.

This might not resonate with anyone who's never lived in the South, but do you know how *hard* it is to get BANNED from Waffle House?

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them.

I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.

I don't have a problem with Tim. But I do think it is deleterious that so many smart people spend so much time on X, which has essentially become an algorithmically and AI-optimized far-right MAGA message testing and propaganda machine. People assume X posts represent the masses, but they don't!

Nobody hates living veterans more than Republicans. Dead veterans they can exploit in videos. But living veterans with opinions and medical needs are literally offensive to conservatives.

um...yeah.

We mixed it up a little in 2021 because that president was born in 1942.

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.

These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.
Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35

'Constitutional trainwreck': Florida lawmakers seek surveillance crackdown The legislation, which has come under fierce criticism from civil-rights and free speech advocates, represents another expansion of Florida’s security apparatus under Gov. Ron DeSantis.

New @thefloridatrib.bsky.social | Under Gov. Ron DeSantis, Florida has spent three-quarters of a billion dollars creating a kind of parallel national security apparatus. A controversial series of surveillance and domestic terrorist bills will add to that accounting.

If they had DEI they’d know it was Targét not Tarzhay

If the Rightwing and some liberals successfully dismantle public libraries, they will not be replicated again in the U.S.

Congressional Dems are in a tough spot. On one hand, they could gain incredible advantage in the upcoming midterms by vigorously denouncing Trump's reckless war. On the other hand, they like it.

a 70+ year history of regime change and sanctions etc etc etc every part of iran's current regime was built on the backs of US intervention.

but 99% of american students will never learn pre-1979 iranian history.

average person cheering for war in iran

Read it again. We killed 85 schoolgirls this morning.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

Can think of nothing more cowardly than pressing a button to shoot a missile that will land dozens or hundreds of miles away. Little bottle of water next to your desk. "Yes sir" and all that shit. Walking around saluting each other. Fucking losers. Killers.

A lot of problems in this country could be solved simply by enforcing anti-monopoly laws

It took Putin and Orban years to do what they’re doing.

There you go. An overt technofascist Trump ally will now own CBS, CNN, HBO, Paramount, Warner Brothers, Discovery, and a big chunk of TikTok
