Oh no, I can't believe all those slurs forced themselves into that defenseless group chat!

JUST IN: US citizens say fuck it; we're not paying taxes this year.
Go say hi!
Michael Griffith, a white man with salt-and-pepper hair and tortoiseshell glasses, sits on an outdoor patio. He smiles gently.
Rebecca Lindenberg, a white woman with a gray bob in a white collared shirt, smiles.

I wish more people understood the π«πery that ICE has been doing in Nashville. They grabbed the guy who drove the unhoused to &from church during Room at the Inn (churches offer shelter). Literally the best of us!
I am so sorry for her and her family. She too sounds like the best of us. πππ
Greg Landsman is horrible and must go.
Fortunately, he has a primary challenger:

It's spouting bullshit, so I think that's how to know.
What a lame ass headline. You really defending this? JFC.
Replacing Noem with Mullin is like replacing Aileen Wuornos with John Wayne Gacy.
Wtf, @welch.senate.gov ??
Have you gone 'round the bend? Markwayne is dumber than a sack of hair and a hotheaded oaf to boot.
Not just you!
Proof that when you think it's as bad as it can get, it can always get worse.
Phew! They definitely need you.π€¦πΌββοΈ
Chotiner: Trump said Gaza could be the "Riviera of the Middle East." Landsman: Well, I don't share his vision in that regard. I believe that Gaza should be led by Gazans, and they should rebuild based on what they want without corruption and terrorism. The same with Yemen, the same with Syria, the same with Iraq. All of a sudden, you can imagine a Middle East where you land in Dubai, and you make your way to Beirut, down to Tel Aviv, to Gaza City, to Cairo. Chotiner: It's like the domino theory, but in reverse. Landsman: Yeah, yeah. Exactly. Chotiner: You mentioned this becoming a much bigger moment. And then you laid out this positive vision of the region. Do you think there's any tension between that and saying what you did earlier, that you wanted this to be a very limited, very small operation that you didn't want to call a war? Landsman: There could be. Yeah, there could be. Yeah. There could be. Chotiner: That's what I was thinking.
My congressman @repgreglandsman.bsky.social thought it was a good idea for him to do a Chotiner interview, but it turns out the interview was good for @damon4congress.bsky.social insteadπ€¦πΌββοΈπ€·πΌββοΈ
If my assistant told me that Isaac Chotiner was on line 1, waiting to talk to me, I would do the sensible thing & grab my go-bag with loose cash & fake passports & make for the border.
At this point getting a Chotiner interview is almost a guarantee that you're doing something very stupid and should stop.
I thought @repgreglandsman.bsky.social had already reached peak loathsome embarrassment, but nope...he did a Chotiner interview, and outdid himself on utter cluelessness (or pure evil...hard to tell which he isπ€·πΌββοΈ).
All of these people are already on my "Never Trust These People to Do the Right Thing" list.
βDemocracy allows people the freedom to make stupid decisions, so long as they make them collectively. But a system that allows a country to be dragged into war at the whims of a single person is not much of a democracy at all.β

Not good. My dad was career Army. In Vietnam, he spent 6 months in Graves Registration. He told me, and articles I've read* confirm, military personnel usually handle personal effects, tho occasionally w help of civilians. If they're hiring more civilians... π₯Ί

I'm at the point where I brace myself every time the phone rings. I'm glad I didn't lose my parents when we were younger or in a sudden, tragic way...but this anticipatory grief is rough.
Give yourself permission to leave a session if it's not giving you something worthwhile.
@repgreglandsman.bsky.social is an absolute disgrace.
Worth noting the ad's irony of a supposed Muslim telling a young woman "you are not allowed to drive" at the exact moment the Sharia lawmakers of Kansas are telling the trans community that you are not allowed to drive

Polis has really been a disappointment lately.
Does Sharia forbid...cake? That's what it seems to be saying.
I still have no idea what/who(?) Mr Beast is. I'm so proud of my complete ignorance on this.
Greg doesn't represent us; he represents AIPAC.
Let's replace him.

Some of Obama's former campaign and admin staff are SO creepy.
