I guess he doesn’t disagree about the Saddam Hussein part?

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

The powerful executives who cozied up to Trump didn't oops accidentally forget about pendulum swings. They either: 1) Like the fascism 2) Calculated it was here to stay, so going along was savvy 3) Saw no real downside, no consequences when the pendulum swung Crucial to show them 3 was a mistake

That this is in THE WASHINGTON POST is almost too much irony to bear.

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

I want all trans people to know that Erika Hilton is a black transwoman and the most-voted congresswoman in the history of Brazil, with 1.5 millions votes. She campaigned for Lula over the last three weeks. WE TRANS PEOPLE CAN EXIST IN POLITICS. It’s not a dream. It’s already a reality in Brazil!

Like realizing your parents aren't infallible, political adulthood begins when you realize the "great minds" elites rely on are all dumb fucking propagandists that capitalism lifts through the system because they're shameless in their wrongness and are willing to serve as dull priests of whatever.

BREAKING Brazil's defeated presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro refuses to recognize President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's victory on Sunday. "It is impossible to acknowledge the result," he said from Brasilia, adding that "I am going to request the annulment of these elections"

The problem is not the weakness of the Constitution... The problem is... Those in charge of enforcing the Constitution... Are refusing to do so.

What’s has me feeling disillusioned is the realization that the United States Constitution, our founding document, is nothing more than a pinky promise that the people in charge don’t feel obligated to keep. Why did we even bother to go to civics class?

Polls just closed in the Brazilian presidential run off. Things are looking messy. Bolsonaro-affiliated mayors sabotaged public transport in at least ten states. São Paulo reportedly has 29% of buses out of service. The Brazilian ⁠Supreme Court has just ordered ⁠voting hours ⁠extended by ​2 hours.

In São Paulo, Lula filed a complaint with the Electoral Court after learning that only 60% of the bus fleet was operating, despite a court order saying that 100% of all weekday buses should operate on Election Day. iclnoticias.com.br/escandalo-in...

Right, so, male influencers are being sent out to tell Black people that resisting data centers is wrong actually because people don't understand how to really measure their water use. It’s an appeal to scientific expertise intended to intimidate Black people.

a really nice thing in Houston is people dropping off their “I Voted” sticker at my dad’s memorial site, commemorating their vote in honor of immigrants in the US.

GOP controlled Missouri had 4 chances to protect people from losing Medicaid during crisis: hospitalization, medical travel, disasters & high unemployment. It rejected all 4. That’s not reform. It’s fake Christian cruelty. Both parties are not the same #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Thread 🧵: the fraudulent transgender mailers have a connection back to Dallas, Texas, where a local Republican megadonor used a similar playbook years ago when he funded a fake BLM group to send letters to wealthy white parents that were designed to discredit the BLM movement.

steven monacelli@stevanzetti.bsky.social

CBS identified Illinois based Three Z Printing as the holder of the permit associated with the fake transgender mailers. One of the owners, Matt Zerrusen, is based in Dallas. His Instagram shows pictures with Charlie Kirk and Donald Trump, and comments from local Republicans.

The whole role of Rupert Murdoch TV as a fount for fact-free partisan political disinformation is really amazing. As reported in media around the world, Pope Leo placed calls to Putin and Zelenskyy and got them to agree this ceasefire for relief to the encircled city.

Quick! Think of three scientists. . . . Any of them women? Our study finds that women are severely underrepresented in UK school science curricula, just as they are in Australia. A disappointing trend, but at @includeher.bsky.social we're working to change that! ✨ #WomenInSTEM #ScienceEducation

IncludeHer@includeher.bsky.social

Who gets named in science? 🔬🧬🔭🧪 Our study, led by @cam.ac.uk researchers, found that of 181 scientists named in UK school science specifications for ages 16–18, only THREE were women. Women have shaped science. It's time their contributions were recognised! 💜✨ #IncludeHer #WomenInSTEM

The bigger question is how Musk can hold a security clearance or oversee the operations of a company with supersensitive and classified government contracts. Several FBI agents bluntly asked that question. They all got fired or reassigned and their supervisors were unable to answer their questions.

Trump’s DOJ is indicting and arresting his political enemies. His DHS raided the home of a sitting Congresswoman. His armed ICE thugs are going door to door harassing people under the pretext of finding non-citizen voting. If you saw this happening in another country, what would you call it?
