We're at war in Iran, the president is already talking about another war with Cuba, and the White House and secretary of state are spending their time doing a roundtable on Name, Image, and Likeness rights in college sports?
Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:
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.

This is not good.
This goes beyond politics, and is not even a statement about politics.
Something is wrong with us. This nation is broken on a cultural level. I can't define it, and I don't know how to fix it. But we are tearing ourselves apart. If we don't diagnose and treat that, the rest of it won't matter

So remarkably frustrated by the United States government this week. That it is in the hands of the worst, most incompetent, most compromised people. Ideologues and grifters. That our society enables it all. That they give a blank check to war mongers and the 1% and literally starve the country.
🤣🤣🤣
Rough men? 😂
George Orwell never said this.
So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
It is horriying to think that an entire generation is coming of age knowing nothing but Donald Trump and the nastiness that is our political culture. I shutter to think about what the implications of this will be for an already weakened democracy.
Right now the Trump message on Iran is dominating. The Democrats are awol and when they speak up it is very weak. The only reason the war is a no sell is the public, not the Dems.
For most people, stable employment is disappearing and being replaced by precarious, low-paid work. Stability is a thing of the past now. Over 2 billion workers worldwide have no job security or benefits.
The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.
They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that
Conservatism is an existential threat to humanity.
The climate crisis, Conservative Policy
1 million COVID deaths, Conservative Policy
Never ending war and the constant threat of Nuclear Holocaust, Conservative Policy
Every economic collapse, Conservative Policy
Conservatism is the problem.
This is for sure: they won’t let the Dems win another election or they will all be prosecuted
It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.
Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.
Let me amend this post - Tim Sheehy, you have no honor.
The fact that a SEAL put his hands on a full dress Marine alone is just…this country is so blissfully unaware of just how fucked we are…I’m jealous, to be honest.
Judge Murphy: “Is it your position that is totally unreviewable? If [RFK Jr.] said instead of getting a shot to prevent measles I think you should get a shot that gives you measles, is that unreviewable?”
Department of Justice: Yes

Basically, what the Department of Justice argued in court today was that RFK Jr. has the absolute authority to kill millions of people with impunity.
I do not exaggerate.
I have no doubt there’s gonna be some ghouls who read this and have a chuckle. This shit is evil, straight evil… in the realm of medieval torture…I can’t even anymore.
They WATCHED this man suffer. Suffer in a way NO ONE in this fucked up country could ever comprehend…we deserve what’s coming.
These ledes are absolute shit.This is a public service to the people of the United States. It’s not running out of money because it’s a business that’s run poorly.It’s running out of money because our government is defunding it, JUST LIKE OUR SOCIAL SECURITY.
Our government is actively harming us!!!
NEW: In an effort to evade bar ethics investigations, the DOJ proposed a new rule seeking to suspend state ethics proceedings against its attorneys if it conducts its own review first.
One expert called the department's proposal an attempt “to avoid oversight…for their lawlessness.”
Grim. "The administration seems entirely undeterred when it loses in court."
It’s not a distraction - it’s a 40 year plan. Chump. Epstein. Barr. Kushner. Bibi.
Listen and share and send thanks/apologies to journalists like Kendzior who have already told us this for years.
Weird how people hold office yet you know they couldn't manage a Denny's.
So basically the two scenarios are:
-the Iranians say “you know what? no hard feelings,” or
-we pair economic catastrophe with a land war in a country that’s kind of like all the worst parts of recent wars mixed up together except across a much larger land area and population
