Anytime anyone tells you that you can’t do something because it’s complicated and ill-defined just remind them that Trump went to war with Iran. You can do it!

I’m so tired of seeing people bash Bluesky for being an echo chamber when X is an actual intentionally constructed echo chamber that is demonstrably radicalizing people across the political spectrum who still use it

‘We’re in it’: Democrats won’t rule out giving Trump more money for Middle East war Democrats will have to balance a desire to criticize Trump’s offensive in Iran with pressure to support funding to defend the nation now at war.

We already went through this shit in Iraq. You don’t fund the GOPs dumb as fuck wars. Period. This isn’t hard. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

The Trump regime has abandoned the constitution:

- declared war without Congressional authorization

- ignoring multiple court orders

- impounding Congressional authorized funds

- ignoring the freedom of speech and assembly

It’s a lawless regime that has no legitimacy.

Let me guess, wealthy people who moved to Dubai to avoid paying taxes now want the countries they moved from to protect them?

Constitutional and Congressional limits on the President’s war-making and foreign policy powers have become much like international law: there exists a body of law that clearly says the President’s actions are unlawful, but the failure to enforce those laws over decades has rendered them a nullity

Hey Congress!!

United States Constitution (Article I, Section 8)Congress holds the exclusive power to formally declare war, authorize the use of military force, and raise/support the armed forces.

How does it feel to be nuetered?
What are you doing?
SERIOUSLY! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING????

Agreed. He’s not kidding. He’s means every damn word of it. He’s everything our Founders feared. We must recognize that he’s serious so we can defeat him.

Y’all remember, there was a bipartisan bill that was ready to go but trump told gop lawmakers to kill it because he wanted to campaign on immigration. It can be fixed but this administration likes chaos and uncertainty. It’s by design.

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying

The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close!

I know, I know, allow people to change etc but saying “before I got thrown in a concentration camp I just assumed all the people being thrown in concentration camps deserved it” is CRAZY

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

Canada is the first non-European country to be granted membership in SAFE. This is unlocking new export markets abroad for producers across Canada’s defence industry and better equipping our military with the resources they need.

The reason why Big Oil companies are lobbying Congress for legal immunity is the same reason why they petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to hear their arguments for why they should not stand trial.

Big Oil really, really doesn't want juries to see the evidence of their lies and wrongdoing.

Blumenthal: Republicans don’t want to acknowledge what’s actually happening — or why it’s happening. And for Americans who wonder why, the answer was provided by this whistleblower:

ICE agents are trained to break the law. It’s no accident or aberration…

Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as “pulled a Target.”

They pulled a Target.

I’m of course watching South Korea right now who’s ex-president narrowly avoided execution and will be jailed for life, or the arrest of Andrew in the UK. Wracking my brains for any similar cases in the USA and just couldn’t think of any… /done

It seems you’re in a good place to be able to start to answer these kinds of questions and maybe it’s that people need to hear about cases where it may have actually happened of the kind of analysis that you do about how the structures were built up to prevent this./9

Why do penalties for politicians egregiously flouting even constitutional prohibitions so often just devolve into a shame-based slinking away from the public eye instead of real penalties? /8

Why have those hallowed institutions never seemingly been willing to properly penalize the powerful who break the law in the US? Why are corporate penalties budgeted as “costs” that get built into bottom line calculations? /7

Yes, the occasional guilty preacher is jailed or the occasional financier is jailed for fraud, but usually only when those who would otherwise protect them have already turned away (e.g. because the fraud was against them). /6

Even those who led a secessionist war against the state were neither jailed or executed for their clear and obvious treasons. /5

I don’t remember, in my reading of the history of the USA, *any* examples of people or organizations that had real power (I.e. not just minor players in business, finance, government or politics) actually being held accountable for egregiously illegal actions. /4
