We shouldn't be at war. But, unfortunately, the checks and balances in our constitution aren't functioning properly, because the GOP has their tongue so firmly attached to the president's butthole that they can't manage to vote to limit his bombing.
Y'all are cowards.
Now more than ever, you don't have to be cutting and pasting batshit posts that you have seen over on That Other Site and also, for fuck's sake, get off That Other Site, again, now more than ever
Not being able to get independent verification doesn't mean it's not true, but it DOES mean that we're dealing in the realm of rumor, not fact.
This is true regardless of your political ideology. Check your fucking sources, people. (3/3)
But there is a huge difference between multiple posts from multiple people all showing the same event(s) and a single person who has unverified images that they're using to support their personal theory. (2/3)
I actually really appreciate that people local to an event can give insight into what is happening on the ground and allow direct access to information globally. (1/3)
Damn this soulless man and every one of his enablers.
If you start a war under false pretenses, to solidify your power domestically, does every death that war causes count as a murder you committed?
Asking for a friend.

I HAVE A QUESTION FOR KANSAS.
Do y'all have some sort of weird genitals based rules of the road? Because I'm not sure how the GENDER MARKER on someone's license impacts their ability to drive.
Spoiler alert: it's the #transphobia
Either say something real or GTFO the stage.

- The president will submit himself to justice over his assault of children, and stop impeding the prosecution of the other powerful people who committed similar crimes. Because if the system will fail without them, then the system is fully corrupt.
(5/6)
- The executive branch will respect the ruling of SCOTUS and stop trying to find new ways to impose tariffs on the American people
- The EPA will reinstate their restrictions on the businesses that are poisoning out air and water, and impacting the safety of all future generations.

Domestic policy promises:
- ICE will be immediately dismantled, and those who chose to use their power and position to commit street executions will be prosecuted. We will stop using any form of lethal force against people who have, at worst, committed a misdemeanor.
(3/6)
Foreign policy promises:
- We will not be going to war with Iran.
- We will immediately cease all support for Israel's genocide of Gaza.
- We will stop starving the Island of Cuba.

Look, I dunno about y'all but I simply do not have time for an hour and 47 minutes of masterbatory self congratulations from the sitting president.
I support his sexual journey (with other adults) but I do not need to hear about the steel worker he wants to kiss.
What would I like to hear? (1/6)
I'm still not a conspiracy theorist. But it's... Real weird. Just saying.

The second was Hank Green's dive into "why the economy hasn't crashed."
Spoilers, it's the oligarchy. (4/5)

One of those was the latest John Oliver, where he talks about what a shit show Twitter has become. (3/5)

I've watched sewing videos, art videos, video exposés dragging Tyra Banks and ANTM, and only TWO of these videos had *any* trouble streaming. But those two? Constant problems.
(2/5)
Y'all, I'm not a conspiracy theorist by nature. I tend to assume people actually do their evil shit pretty openly, and we choose to ignore it. But I've been working on a sewing project for the past two days, which means I've spent about twelve hours on YouTube.

Hey, @massgovernor.bsky.social do we have this? If not, can we get it?
This is NOT just Trump's America. This is America as it has always been.

We don't talk about it. We don't discuss it in history classes. We erase it from our museums and our records. We perpetuate the idea that only wealthy, white, cis, straight men are "real" Americans--that if it didn't happen to *them*, then it's not really happening.
7/8
I cannot make a list of all the ways in which the government has perpetrated and supported violence against non-white, non-male, non-straight, non-wealthy Americans. I don't even *know* all the ways.
6/8
*Back Americans have been shot for existing in public. They have been illegally experimented on by the government. They have been targeted by the for-profit prison system.
*Poor, unhoused Americans are regularly targeted by local law enforcement.
5/8
*Japanese Americans were put in concentration camps during WWII.
*Queer Americans have been made illegal by various laws and in various ways across the whole of the country.
4/8
*This country started with a genocide against Native Americans.
*Our economic system was built on slave labor and indentured servitude.
*Our domestic and family system was built on the subjugation of women.
3/8
As much as I hate what's happening now, I think we should all be honest that this has been happening in America for it's entire history. White, middle/upper class men have been safe from government oppression, but those aren't the only people who live here.

A friend posted a graphic that said "It's crucial to remember this horror never happened in *real* America, only in Trump's America." And folks... If you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you.
