We all need a hug sometimes.. 😊

Donald Trump, the first president to wear a bustle.

Undoubtedly the worst most unqualified Secretary Of Defense in the History of the USA. Treats the most powerful military in the world like a college frat boy treats a house party.

Trump’s obsession with these vulgar memorials to his own vanity is a reminder of the darkness around him, of his hostility to democracy, his loathing of honor, and his disordered mind. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

North Korea is good. Canada is bad. Coal is good. Solar is bad. Measles is good. Vaccination is bad. Child rapists are good. Childcare is bad. Pointless wars are good. Universal healthcare is bad. Anyone supporting the unrelenting chaos of the #GOP deserves zero respect. #RemoveTrump

And here we are again …

In my latest conversation with Nataly Lutsenko, we discuss the potential for Russian mobilisation of up 500,000 new troops from September and the impact this might have on the war. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJgJ...

"mplementing a universal, single-payer health care system would save the U.S. more than $1 trillion and some 114,000 lives every year, according to a recent Yale University analysis." www.scientificamerican.com/article/yale...

Let it be said over & over: While Trump will try every trick to scare & intimidate voters from casting their ballots and then lie about the outcome in the aftermath, each of us can help get as many people to the polls as possible & ensure an overwhelming turnout and a massive, undeniable GOP defeat.

I still cannot believe that the free world has not transferred Russias frozen assets to Ukraine. Someday we will know the full story and I’m guessing it won’t be a heroic one for any official in Europe or the US.

“Jeannie Pirro folded like an umbrella,” said the guy who couldn’t fold an umbrella if his life depended on it.

This. A whole lot of me being "good at computers" was a basic understanding of search and a freakish memory that gave me exact phrases to search for. Now? Most search engines straight up ignore quotation marks.

White House: "President Trump remains in excellent health."

Michelle, if you're going to hold yourself accountable for past misjudgments and act like a responsible grown-up, I'm afraid we're going to have to ask you to leave social media.

Nothing says good old fashioned 4th of July American patriotism like flying to a speech in a grifted Qatari jet.

Breaks it.

Decisive win by Colombia in their tie with Portugal. It wasn’t close.

Seems about right...

And I get asked why I despise muskrat.

Fauci needs to sue this man into bankruptcy, if only to dissuade the other inveterate liars of this administration.

Please keep hammering this. It's an obvious and effective message that plays widely, especially with low-info voters.

The orange Dear Leader can’t abide that he blew it (blue it?) at the Reflecting Pool, so he invented a fake “vandalism” narrative, and now Park Police are having to arrest harmless tourists to puff up the phony narrative, Soviet-style.

The sickest part of this is that the people who have the power to stop this and remove him will see this video and do nothing.

We’re in the middle of a fertiliser supply shortage that is likely to cause a crisis in food security for millions of people. I wish there was more work being done on incorporating biological nitrogen fixation into more crops, whether through genetic changes to the crops themselves …

In the end, making Putin threaten, moan and beg to hold his pissy little 45 minute parade, from which he ran away like a frightened schoolboy, revealed more about the real state of the war than anyone could have expected.

Zelenskiy is master of public diplomacy. This both reassures the Russian public that they can safely participate in the parade, and denigrates Putin as an inferior who needs Zelenskiy's permission to do something important. Shouldn't we be supporting this clever guy rather than Putin?

Interesting how Trump saw his idol Vladimir Putin stick his dick in an electrical outlet in Ukraine, and said to himself: "Yeah, that looks like fun!"

High on the "wish I had said that" list.

And just like that we’re back to “Department of Defense”

Pete Hegseth, if he does not resign, should at least get out of the way and let better men than him talk to the nation and to the press. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Here’s a great idea - let’s get the most amoral celebrity racist douchebag from the 80s, make him president, and then be blindly obedient to him while normalizing fascist shit that hurts large numbers of people. Because we’re so Christian.

🇫🇮 Stubb: I don't agree with the narrative that claims Russia is winning militarily. Over the past 1,000 days, Russia has advanced by 1% of Ukrainian territory. The cost of that advance has been 1,000 dead soldiers per day — about 30,000 per month. These figures refer to the dead, not the wounded.

Perhaps I can help this research effort. 1. Origins of TDS lie in revulsion at a dangerous bigot coming to power. 2. Manifestations of TDS include joining others to resist Trump’s authoritarian efforts. 3. Effects of TDS are an enlivening of the intellect snd a sharpening of the conscience.

The Trump admin, in its quest to eliminate the entire concept of asylum from the law and get rid of all asylum applicants without hearing their cases, wants to deport a Chinese dissident to Uganda, despite the fact that he has a slam-dunk asylum claim.

my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides
