Can’t wait for the announcement of the new all service military uniforms 🫡 Summer footwear is a sensible green or DCU shade strappy sandal, minimum heel 2”, no wedges or stripper platforms. #hegseth #closeted #arrestthepresident #trialsforthetraitors #militaryfashion

I’m in a place where if I don’t see the tantrum, it’s like when a bunch of kids are out of sight and just a little too quiet…

It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.

ICE desperately wants you not to care about this story But we must. The killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national striving for his American Dream, is a moral outrage, and a warning. ICE hopes you won't notice that mass deportation is back My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

inquirer.comICE killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. They want you to be apathetic. Don’t be. | Will BunchSalgado came from Mexico, built the American Dream, sent his sons to college, and was senselessly killed by ICE.

If we actually want to appreciate moms, we should be providing free childcare, healthcare, and guaranteed income for stay-at-home parents to put more money in families’ pockets and ensure no SAHP is reliant on a partner for their economic security. Idk I think that’s better than 15% off a vacuum.

Two nights ago, I said Trump had been using our troops as pirates in Iran and a Republican got mad. Well… the president just admitted it. He literally bragged about doing piracy.

If someone “wants to protest this” and they think voting in whatever elections they allow us to have is a good way to do that, they are wrong. Yes, vote, but if it’s the only thing you do, then you’re just holding the door open for more fascists to come through while genocide and war continue.

Yeah this sounds pretty reasonable. Under the circumstances it’s surreal that the head of the Catholic Church is one of the biggest voices calling these people out. I’ll take it but I do not like it.

Note that there's been no threat to sue over this statement. I know I would be suing for tens of millions if I was innocent.

We already have the information we need to at least start going after people. I’m sick of demands for additional horrific proof. I have no doubt it exists and it must be revealed but we have plenty of evidence to act on and have for years. And don’t forget the FBI already has the worst of it.

I don’t know why I even bother looking at anything HHS is doing

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

BENNET: Do you agree that 89% of children who died from flu were unvaccinated? RFK Jr: I don't know the exact number BENNET: That is the exact number, Secretary Kennedy RFK Jr: *death growls* BENNET: You took down the HHS communications promoting the flu vaccine. Do you regret that?

God damn it US media. You’re complicit and history will remember this with no mercy.

Khanna: "You have the pope lecturing America about possible war crimes. You have the president threatening to destroy all power plants. What have we achieved? We've created devastation."

it's remarkable how crazy this video is, especially in light of what we just learned in that Atlantic article

Yeah this is a hardworking dude that never had a drop of alcohol.

Orbán out is an unexpected win but Trump fascism and lies has me wondering whether it’s a stunt meant to buy time to further consolidate power in the US. I know not everything is about us but these guys were so close they might as well have been dating.

Mehdi Hasan@mehdirhasan.bsky.social

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽‍♂️
