What's it going to take for Congress to realize that we can't take 3 more years of this

Everyday Iranians protested their tyrannical government at the risk of their own lives, and this is how Trump is rewarding them

War crimes on the scale of My Lai every fucking day

And 20 Republicans could end this *at any time*

and if she was referring to something other than the question she was directly asked?

I do not understand why ANYONE is bending over backwards to clean up their comms mess for them. Just pointing to the No Dogs rule over and over

to me it sounded *perfectly* clear that she said they weren't ruling out anything and it is therefore perfectly accurate to say they have not ruled out a draft

if a talking head tells you people are worried about a draft w/r/t ground forces and you ignore that to declare that all options are on the table, your sloppy fucking comms aren’t really anyone else’s problem to clean up, imo

I don’t know why we need to be so pedantic and weird about this.

“WH Spokesman won’t rule out draft for Iran War”

Repeat it fifty bazillion times.

Easy. Clean. Done. It’ll take on a life of its own.

worst day of the year. hour stolen from night time given to the smug idiot breakfast eaters. the rise and shine clowns

any answer besides "absolutely not, we will never institute a draft, not under any condition" is completely witless, and I don't feel the need to give any of those people the benefit of the doubt

Maybe we should be clearer. Jobs aren’t at risk from AI. They’re at risk from amoral shitbag short term spec capitalists using AI against a weakly unionised workforce and broken government.

Germany is a big country. It's taken the police in Germany 50 years to shoot 500 German citizens to death. From 1975 until now. That's including the period of civil unrest prior to reunification.

US police will shoot 500 people before 4th of July weekend, then will shoot another 500 by Christmas.🤷🏿‍♂️

Democrats want to get TSA agents paid, but we won't help Republicans cut a blank check to help Stephen Miller terrorize Americans. 
 
And I won’t let Trump blackmail Democrats into funding rogue ICE agents just because he started a war with Iran.

a four-panel stick-figure cartoon panel one: three standing figures. from left to right, a guy wearing a necktie looking at his phone, an angry MAGA guy yelling FUCK YOUR FUCKIN POST FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU, and a rando just standing there like an NPC. panel two: the guy looking at his phone shows MAGA guy his hand, causing MAGA to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where fuckface once was. a green-bordered in-game message appears, reading "+2 Mental Health." now the rando is suddenly interested. panel three: as our man continues doom-scrolling, a sly grin on his face, the rando on the right puts on a punch-me face and snarls: "Typical lefty, blocking everyone who disagrees with-" panel four phone guy shows the hand to punch-me face, causing the rando to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where that dickhead was. a green-bordered in-game message appears again, reading "+2 Mental Health."

I propose that in october we permanently shift all clocks back by only 30 minutes & then fucking leave them there forever after. And if you think that's somehow more absurd than the DST/SDT dance, please take a deep breath and remember that clock time is fake & was invented for trains. It'll be fine

We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.

The most scathing critics of Silicon Valley circa 2014 barely scratched the surface of the treachery these companies have shown.

Providing your products to criminal regimes planning to use them to violate human rights on a massive scale is a choice!

as for the rest: no chance. I'm surprised Swal's as high as he is, but he's been shitposting against Trump lately and a depressing number of ppl think that's the same as fighting. There's nobody in the field I love, but a few of the D names I do not recognize.

progressive Californian here and: despair, mostly. Steyer is NOT going to drop out and I think both Swalwell and Porter have too much ego to go. If Porter was polling well ahead, *maybe* Swalwell would drop. I guess I gotta go Porter bc I agree 100% w/ you about Swal's Islamophobic comments.

Great. Now do the entire second Trump administration, which is invalid under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.

Steyer ran ads during *every single* ad break in the Olympics, I don't think he's gonna drop out for the good of anyone

Turning the clocks forward to a time when he's finally dead

Nearly every vote I have cast in the past 35 years has been for holding the line against our slide into inhumane atrocity.

I am not voting *for* candidates to embody my every policy preference.

They don't exist.

I am voting *against* this.

Maine - Here is your alternative to Platner.

I left him a voicemail at (202) 224-6542 and called him a “disgrace” and told him to fuck off. I’d recommend you do the same.

trials for everyone who works there, then the gallows

Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.

15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

Even if it takes years, we have to bring EVERYONE who made this happen to justice. No moving on, no letting this go.

Revenge is good enough motivation for me personally, but the nobler and important reason is to ensure that anyone who thinks of doing this again knows they’ll rot in prison for it.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

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

The thing about all these freak AI execs constantly going "our machine may have gained sentience?!" is that they want slaves. That they are ok with slave labor.

And *then* it always, always turns out their latest AI trick actually used slave labor somewhere in the global south.

They're slavers.

Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/
