Yet again I remind everyone (as Elizabeth does in her very next tweet) that "foreigners are corrupting our pure blood with weakness & disease" is Fascism 101. Not some variant, not some metaphorically similar thing, not some echo -- the thing itself.
Dear god. Very, very serious allegations of mass civil rights violations at the State of Florida's Everglades immigration detention center (officially known as "Alligator Alcatraz").
You can chalk some of Republican policies up to ideology, but most of Republican policy is just crime. Like taking money intended to feed poor people and just giving it to yourself.
The key criteria for a just war include 1) just cause, 2) legitimate authority, 3) right intention, 4) last resort, 5) proportionality, and 6) probability of success. Trump's actions against Iran can be challenged on ALL SIX COUNTS.
It will be extremely funny if Vance manages to get himself excommunicated before his book on becoming a Catholic releases.
“Our message is to America: Vote by mail is efficient, it’s safe, and it’s successful. Period. This is educating the American people that you can use vote by mail and you can be guaranteed that your voice will be heard and your vote will be counted.”
Hammerdin starter into Reflect Shaman main! Now tinkering with a Swarmblade Druid Apiarist. 🍯🐝🐝🐝
1/5. Orbán pioneered a model whereby oligarchs trade the fascist memes and electoral tricks they use to stay in power. He made Budapest a node between Moscow and Washington of the international far right.
US Soldiers Say Hegseth Left Them Defenseless
Survivors of the Iranian Attack said their unit in Kuwait was "unprepared to provide any defense for itself. It was not a fortified position."
Six service members were killed and more than 20 wounded.

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something.
For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.
After Trump's latest genocidal utterances, I'm posting this again from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944:
“America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.
NEW: Iran-linked hackers are attacking US critical infrastructure around the country, according to a warning from federal agencies and confirmation from the company whose component is being exploited. @agreenberg.bsky.social reports: www.wired.com/story/iran-l...
Do you know how EXTREMELY FUCKED UP SHIT HAS TO BE for me to be reposting Tucker Carlson positively???
The way I was raised, patriotism looks like:
1) serving my fellow citizens
2) paying taxes
3) voting for reps that will spend that revenue according to my values
Tax evasion and systems that allow for unfair taxation are unpatriotic by definition.
A reminder that the Heritage Foundation architected Project 2025 with Viktor Orbán in mind. Kevin Roberts called modern Hungary “the model” for conservative statecraft.
Far-right authoritarianism is a globally collaborative movement.
i can't believe a republican president did what every republican president of the last 50 years has done (exploded the national debt)
The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.
Trump just gave up a lot of classified information in that briefing.
To be clear, he’s the president so he can do whatever he wants in that regard, but it’s not very smart.
Getting dizzy listening to these yahoos complain that Iran is a hotbed of religious fanaticism and then turning right around and acting like religious fanatics themselves.
We all knew Mike Lee was evil, but he's spent the last couple of years making it clear that he's also quite stupid.
The Constitution compels you to follow the Constitution, which includes the recognition of universal birthright citizenship, you dishonest tool.
This wasn’t a crisis. It is the playbook.
Project 2025 said it out loud. Strip union rights. Reshape agencies like TSA. Expand ICE enforcement.
They’re not hiding it.

NBC: Under intl law, hitting civilian infrastructure is prohibited. Why is POTUS threatening war crimes?
LEAVITT: POTUS has made it quite clear to the Iranian regime their best move is to make a deal or else
N: Which objectives would destroying a desalination plant help?
LEAVITT: Haley, go ahead
i think this is exactly right and it is part of what i was trying to get at last week when i wrote about the narcissism of the president and his allies. they fundamentally do not believe other people are real, and do not understand the decisions they make.
Walz: The president said it's a bunch of radicals. You're damn right we've been radicalized. Radicalized by compassion, radicalized by decency, radicalized by due process, radicalized by democracy.
if nothing else, there is something to be said for spending time outside in the sun with thousands of people who share your anger at the state of things
