Masterful work, Mr Trump. You've smashed the Middle East, the global economy, cost thousands of lives and spent a billion dollars a day - all to give your enemy a toll both on the most important shipping lane in the world

I called all three of mine and left voicemails. I've heard some offices have people answering their phones despite congressional recess. Feels like an exercise in futility but it's still worth doing because nihilism in the face of nuclear war is pathetic.

If only a dozen Republicans in Congress found the will, they could impeach and remove him today.

Here's the number for the congressional switchboard. Please call your reps and senators. This man needs to be removed from office now.

How the media must cover this madman president My three suggestions—with illustrations—since 'sane-washing' is far too mild a term

"The press, because of its own conventions and time-honored practices, normalizes him, and thus fails to get across the extreme nature of this president’s behavior. Ten years of sane-washing have had their effect. He remains in power, reelected, undeterred."

Truth from @sulliview.bsky.social

It is a total failure of every individual and institution of government and society that this diseased man is not stopped from speaking, much less acting, this way in the capacity of president of the united states — trash-talking us all to the brink of genocidal nuclear annihilation.

Donald Trump is clearly threatening to use nuclear weapons against Iran.

He needs to be removed as President to prevent a catastrophe that our species will never recover from.

Even if AI could write a novel what problem has been solved? The problem of knowing what you’re reading was written by another person? Who loves reading novels but hates the part where your mind briefly and mysteriously touched another?

Damn i wonder who this guy speaking out against the Iraq War is. Wonder what he's up to these days

Since we're talking about One Nation and their history of providing us with some truly exceptional candidates, this is from the PHON candidate for Macalister in the 2017 State election. One of the top ten twitter exchanges of all time.

"I have struggled with this realisation, that a life is not always equal to another life, throughout my own. It is written across continents & classes, but never so plainly to my living eyes as it is in the remarks of some of the most powerful people on Earth about the 'insects' in Gaza".

A ban by Israel on 37 international NGOs, including Doctors Without Borders, took effect with the new year. Aid groups, the United Nations and at least 10 foreign ministers have condemned the move, warning it will exacerbate Gaza’s already catastrophic humanitarian crisis.
