Your macho guy winds up cowering in a catering truck and begging for a special ballroom bunker hidey-hole when you could've just let a woman be president once or twice.

Hurling F-bombs at an 85-year-old scientist who won’t fight back doesn’t make you tough. Staying silent after your own daughter accused Rep. Max Miller of holding a gun to her head, pushing her against a wall, and fracturing your granddaughter’s collarbone makes you a coward.

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company is suing Minnesota over a first-in-the-nation law banning technology that allows users to create and post deepfake videos or images of people naked without their consent.

The fact that VP JD Vance and Richard Grenell went to Romania—on behalf of the Trump Administration— to advocate for Andrew and Tristan Tate, who by all accounts, were rapists running a coercive sex ring, then permitted them to come to Florida, should be a crazy, crazy scandal.

I think the reason I've been a little ambiently mad all day is because January 6th rioters are statistically the most likely group of pedophiles in the world and they clubbed a guy to death and they're going to be rich from the tax money that I give to the country I live in.

No money for pediatric cancer research but there's $1.7 billion for people who beat cops and smeared feces on the walls of the US Capitol.

America is not “a nation that calls to God in prayer.” It’s a nation where people are free to pray, worship, or reject religion entirely without government telling them which choice is “American.”

As a life-long atheist, I can only aspire to this level of blasphemy.

It’s been a while since Sunday school for me, but I am confident this sort of thing is generally frowned upon

In all seriousness though, elder millennial jokes aside, I think it’s important to resist the media framing of any mainstream resistance to the status quo as just the shrill nonsense of middle-aged women with nothing better to do. This isn’t the first time they’ve run out this playbook.

The war in Iran has already cost $22.8 billion. For $22.8 billion, we could: • Provide Medicaid to 6.8 million kids • Build 2.6 million public housing units • Fund Head Start for 1.3 million • Hire 240,000 teachers • Cancel $20,000 in student debt for 1 million borrowers

I’m reminded of that tweet that says that men were able to successfully cast themselves as the less emotional gender by redefining anger as not an emotion

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social

Remember when Rep. Greg Gianforte, now the GOP governor of the state, body slammed a reporter into a table? We probably need to shut down the Montana Republican Party entirely until we can figure out where all this violent rage is coming from.

If the Supreme Court ever rules carbon isn’t a public health danger, it won’t be a legal decision, it’ll be a confession: science discarded, reality vetoed, and fossil fuel money seated on the bench. At that point, stop calling it governance and start calling it fraud.

New in PN: "Just making s**t up" — @volts.wtf sounds off on the EPA “How the f**k are they going to do that? If you can get the Supreme Court to rule carbon is not a danger to public health, it will mark the point at which they have abandoned all pretense, because that’s just a flat out lie.”

It’s cool that we have to endure this indignity because the press finds it entertaining and voters are morons

Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast: "I don't know how a person of faith can vote for a Democrat. I really don't. *crowd groans* I know we have some here today. I don't know why they're here, because they certainly don't give us their vote ... they cheat."

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember: - Organized a city wide general strike - Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence - Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE - Flipped public opinion against ICE

It's time to identify those 23 people and begin the pressure on them. This administration will not stop, even if the courts order it. That much is clear.

G Elliott Morris@gelliottmorris.com

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

Replying to @whstancil.bsky.social

There are people on the ground right now who are excited to escalate. I talked to them, one said “isn’t it great?” They don’t care about ICE, the murder, our city. Do not let them control this situation. We are very close to the brink. Observe, protest. Don’t destroy.

Mahget reposted

ALL MN PROTESTERS Absolutely nothing could be worse for our cause than violence and rioting. It is what ICE and Trump obviously want. Do not burn down our own city to protest invaders; they do not care; they will enjoy it. Do not do it. Do not let your fellow protesters do it.

All those people downtown yesterday, no ICE involvement, and not one incident. ICE shows up in a neighborhood and now another Minnesotan is dead. It's pretty obvious who the violent outside agitators are.

The Star Tribune reports that federal agents "attempted to order local police from the scene" where a man was shot and killed by feds this morning, but Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara refused and "instructed his officers to preserve the scene."

FYI: Dems in the senate can't defund ICE. ICE is funded by the Big Ugly Bill. Shutting down DHS on this vote wouldn't touch ICE, but it would shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shutting down ICE requires taking back Congress in the midterms. Dismantling DHS requires the White House in 2028.

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

It is incredibly frustrating that all I can do is scream at my two perfectly useless senators while these MAGA fools go out of their way to inaugurate a truly chaotic multipolar era that has a decent chance of killing all of our children. It's just madness. Absolute madness.

I have lived in DK for 20~ years. The last 18 days the DK & US relationship has plunged from "ok, we can handle Trump for now but we hope Americans choose differently next time" to "so, war? OK. No, do not invite the US to a party commemorating DK&US history held since 1912, in fact cancel it"
