Pontifex maximus has some words for the Christian Nationalists who showed up in the Oval Office to bless the Iran War.
the most important state election of early 2026 is right around the corner… though you’d never know it by the attention it’s receiving.
here’s hoping this bolts article helps jumpstart a little more chat!
This plainly was another homicide of a US citizen by DHS. But since the victim had brown skin, Texas authorities could care less.
it's fascinating how most presidents don't have a button to lower prices, but donald john trump has created USS Enterprise levels of buttons for generating inflation
there's a lot going on right now but did you know a massive amount of the world's fertilizer flows through the middle east, and did you know that that fertilizer needs to be shipped to the us *right now* for planting season, and uh did you know we are at war with iran
Gavin Newsom publicly touts his prison reform plans, the so-called "California model", which are nothing more than smoke-and-mirrors.
If you want a Bill Clinton-style Democrat, "I feel your pain" for the cameras, cutting important porgrams while increasing police funding, Newsom is your guy.
my god... they're going after spongebob

The Daily Mail going to Tony Blair for a take on conflict in the Middle East, is it?
Wondering if the media would've chosen "honored" as the verb if Obama had saluted fallen soldiers in a fucking baseball cap

Thankful not MY Boomer dad but yeh, statistically speaking - true.
If a Dem victory in the mid-terms just leads to a series of hearings that make good content for social media and not much else things aren't going to get better. Accountability needs teeth, not likes.
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.
He even looks like a shitty person.
He's quite an asshole

We are not at war with Iran, although we have been for the last 50 years.
Thing that really gets my goat is the way people are eager to fund this bullshit but you need eleven layers of analysis and a ton of collateral if you want to open a small grocery store in a food desert.
Had to doublecheck the date on this

350,000 peoples’ lives hang in the balance. A majority entered the U.S. legally and have never been in violation of any immigration law. They’ve had to go through multiple background checks. And yet they’re hanging on by a thread, even though the situation in Haiti hasn’t gotten any better.
Chlorine dioxide is an industrial bleach for lumber and freaks like RFK give autistic kids enemas with it. Kids die from the practice. These people just want autistic kids dead.
Wrote with @swin24.bsky.social about how the White House is posting fascist memes about GTA and Call of Duty to make themselves laugh about their war as it threatens to blow up the global economy zeteo.com/p/trump-iran...
I’m seeing a ton of this floating around.
It’s true, we’re bombing the hell out of Iran, but this war isn’t as one sided as they’d have you believe. In a week, the US has lost at least two (possibly more) AN/TPY-2 radar.
