No actual objectives achieved (Iran still has an active missile industry.) Biggest US loss ever.

Let’s all post it and see if they indict all of us.

I’m sorry. I spend most of my time on Twitter still & I tend to come here to vent when I get a little too acerbic & get banned temporarily. Well, it happened again, & I can only guess it’s because I called out the orange dictator a little too vociferously. I really should learn my lesson, but, nah!

Happy Easter.

This probably won’t mean much to the majority people who don’t follow the AFL, but I hope in about 9 hours, the Doggies are feasting on the remains of the Bombers after a 100+ point win, and that has nothing to do with any current international inflicts.

Who else thinks the war in Iran is futterly, utterly, ucked?

Y’know, I get the feeling that X-Twitter was purging good souls this weekend who cried out against the injustices of war with the use of parody & satire. Says a lot about our current hellscape and the utter depravity of those currently in charge.

I know it’s only a rumor that Trump went to Walter Reed today, but the fact that it’s entirely believable is the real issue.

Ten years ago, there would have been wall-to-wall news coverage for days if a top U.S. government official publicly insisted "the hand of God" had teleported him to a Waffle House. It would result in a resignation. Today, it barely cracks through the national discourse.

I’ve now found something to scroll for this weekend 😁

You mention that someone who threatened death to millions of people should be nailed up during a religious festival that celebrates someone who was nailed up, and you get kicked off social media. That’s hardly Christian.

@sluggodoug.bsky.social My first official concert was Icehouse in 1982. It was their first concert as Icehouse, after changing their name from The Flowers. Can't remember a thing about the concert. The friend I was with was the real fan, and now she's the President of an AFL club in Australia.

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference. But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

Trump is taking a bribe from a country that funds Hamas. If you can’t say that, then you shouldn’t be a journalist.

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

History repeating

All of us…

Class Warfare is when top 1% uses the media to instruct you that a slight tax increase on the top 1% is Class Warfare.

There it is, in a nutshell.

History always has a lesson.

Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.

Bitch had it coming

I keep reading through tue multi page reciprocal tariff list and i still can’t find Russia or Belarus.

If the agent of an embittered KGB officer somehow won the US presidency and entered into the office bent on destroying the USA in its national influence, network of alliances, and the American people’s quality of life, what would he be doing differently?

The tariffs are catastrophic. But so too are the abuses of power, so is the corruption, so are the police state tactics, so is the destruction of our health care infrastructure, so are the ways our national security is being endangered, so are the attacks on our core freedoms.

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks… “The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government. 🧵

I didn’t know DOGE was short for DO GESTAPO

Just another case of history repeating

This Game of Thrones quote feels especially poignant: “Any man who must say 'I am the king' is no true king.”

This is all a good reminder that, “no help, no votes until the criminal conduct stops” is neither a big ask nor a politically perilous one.

Was hoping I wouldn’t have to dust off this gem again.

Excellent post

💯🎯

Absence literally made the heart grow fonder.
