I maintain that among the media's biggest mistakes has been continuing to ask Trump questions as if he's a normal guy instead of asking things like "Can you explain who Jesus is" or "Describe the process of pumping gas"

It seems we just bombed some residential buildings in an attempt to kill a former diplomat who was trying to facilitate negotiations.

A civilian trying to *end* hostilities, surrounded by other civilians in their homes.

We are completely lost.

The Trump Administration’s proposed capital gains tax cut could add nearly $1 trillion to the national debt within the decade, think tank warns | Fortune “We need more revenue, not less,” Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget president Maya MacGuineas said.

an interesting fact about tepublicans being through the looking glass is that they don't try to excuse their barbaric views anymore. there isn't a faux rationalization for the war

ted cruz seems to basically be campaigning for a regressive tax break on its regressiveness

My friend put out a great song about PTSD and getting sober last week and now I feel like it's also maybe an anti-imperialist rocker

Seems to be the pattern…

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.

it’s pretty cool how Schumer in particular is the absolutely worst guy to be in charge of the opposition for everything happening under Trump 2 more than anyone else just perfectly not suited for the moment

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

there's just been this relentless refrain from Cons that "oh why didn't Biden release these files" and it's looking clearer like they might have actually been trying to catch a predator.

“How would a ninth-grader’s slumber party in the Oval Office go?”

what's your dig here, that you're against balancing budgets?

Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.

I realize I'm preaching to the choir here but it sure seems like the Biden admin may have actually been trying to pursue these leads (albeit insanely slowly) which is part of why the current regime is releasing any info at all - they're ending any investigation

I think every sport needs its own version of this. The NBA should have a tournament midyear that is unannounced and hosted over 24 hours on a rainy blacktop in puget sound.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

This is the first time bluesky has broken news for me, cool!

"ICE 101" — How Trump changed ICE and CBP into a fascist secret police ICE and CBP are fatally flawed products of the post-9/11 War on Terror — now Trump has weaponized those very flaws to occupy America.

I found this bit, by a journalist who has written about CBP and ICE for many years, to be really instructive on how shockingly and persistently lawless those agencies, and especially CBP, have been for their entire existence, for more or less the same reason. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-101-ho...

I just feel like it's kind of crazy that they have to pretend these guys are busy and need their earliest availability. More blood will be in the streets by Feb 18 let alone march 18

watching the video from three angles at half-speed in high res and it couldn't be clearer this was a gangland execution. streamable.com/udofq5?src=p...

these roid-addled proud boys have been living on fantasies of violence spun for them by their favorite podcasters for too long

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

Worth noting that one reason you’re benefitting so fully from the Star-Tribune’s timely, extensive coverage of unfolding events is that it’s a metro newspaper that hasn’t been systematically starved to further enrich shareholders and executives.

Let’s be clear: anyone defending the Trump Administration after watching masked, anonymous agents assault a man, pepper spray him, then fire 5+ rounds into his back is irretrievably complicit in political terrorism.

A graphic comparing two quotes: "Fuckin' bitch." ICE agent after Renee Good was shot and killed two weeks ago. "Boo hoo." Federal agent after a man was shot and killed today.

These monsters are sick.

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing?

ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW.

I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

he knows that we know he's lying. he's telling us we're all terrorists to him. he's telling us that to dissent is now a capital crime. he's telling us they'll shoot us, too, and they'll say we deserved it.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

I am of the position that today's action in Minneapolis kicks ass and is very promising, while also believing that "big crowd marches for a day" will have diminishing returns in efficacy unless elected Dems find some fire in their bellies to match and unless more sustained actions are considered.
