I remember the Vietnam War well. Trump should too — we're the same age.
I was too short to serve and lost good friends in the war. Trump pretended to have bone spurs.
That war was characterized by lies, arrogance, and stupidity.
What's happening in Iran is starting to feel a lot like Vietnam.
republicans will yowl and piss and moan and that to my mind is all the reason to do it
The number of Republicans crashing out about getting nakedly gerrymandered is, unironically, a sign that we need to do more of it. You guys are correct! This shit sucks! Welcome to the party, pals! We can all stop doing it any time you like!
People who were openly rooting for a president-for-life a year ago mad about gerrymandering sounds like you’re just losers who don’t like losing
Republicans have always believed it's cheating for Democrats to fight back in any capacity, not least because so many Democrats agree
If the public can save Jimmy Kimmel's job, the public can put the squeeze on Congress to come out into public view, face hard-core questions, and feel the heat.
"I was ABSOLUTELY told that the Democrats would be bringing knives to the gun fight. What the fuck are they doing bringing guns?" --a whole lot of Republicans looking at the results from Virginia right now
The message of the Right reacting to Virginia is the same as the message of "2020 was rigged": no victory by anyone but us is ever legitimate. We are the only ones allowed to win.
These people are cartoon villains entitled to no respect and no trust. Rabid dogs.
Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time.
This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.
If the war is "reckless and unauthorized" - let's be honest, unconstititional - will you commit to impeaching him and trying to remove him from office?
The FBI director filing even a hypothetically meritorious defamation suit while in office would still be so improper as to be a same-day firing offense.
Spain is crushing it ⚡🇪🇸
Solar is delivering the equivalent of 27 nuclear plants during the day. Pumped hydro stores ~3 nuclear plants worth. Batteries already stepping in.
This isn’t a generation problem anymore. It’s storage scale.
Energy scarcity → energy timing. #BESS #Solar
Trump and RFK Jr's idea that any research that refers to ethnicity, gender, etc. must be rejected as DEI would make sense only in a world where all medical and social problems were invented by humans and humans had stopped inventing them.
Neither are true. Reject Trumpism.

What you have to understand is that the United States started a war, almost immediately lost it, then began the laborious process of negotiating against itself, and is now settling into the secondary denial phase …
We did a better job restoring Jimmy Kimmel to his show than we have done removing a war mongering demented child rapist insurrectionist from the Oval Office while he’s ACTIVELY committing war crimes & manipulating markets.
Imagine if 1/3 of people who know we must #RemoveTrump called:
202-224-3121
Simply filing this lawsuit is an impeachable offense.
That's a big deal. Thank you for your work.
But will you put the same effort behind impeaching the president?
“but we can’t just run on being anti-Trump”
actually you can and you should
A snarky twitter post of the Armenian embassy of Iran about Trump spending too much time with his phone instead of taking care of the American people.
Sometimes one has to agree with the Iranian´s opinion on the current occupant of the White House
screenshot from linked to essay that reads: What is new is that, starting around 2015—in the wake of increased trans visibility in the media (sometimes called the “transgender tipping point”) and the Supreme Court’s decision in Obergefell legalizing same-sex marriage—social conservatives began shifting their efforts toward targeting trans people instead. The attacks have since grown into a highly coordinated and well–funded movement that churns out both anti-trans and broader anti-LGBTQ legislation at unprecedented levels. This is the real reason why Republicans have become obsessed with “fairness in women’s sports,” “biological sex,” “social contagion,” “restrooms,” “grooming,” and other soundbites that didn’t exist ten or fifteen years ago. In other words, there hasn’t been an organic shift in public opinion on trans people but rather a massive astroturfing campaign against us.
...btw I link to evidence that the anti-trans backlash was a highly coordinated and well–funded (especially via right-wing orgs) movement in this essay: www.bostonreview.net/forum/how-no...
Note to Democrats: Stop punching left. The left is fighting mad and the words we use are "Fuck ICE" and "IMPEACH" and "SHUT IT ALL DOWN." Maybe you'd get somewhere if you used those words, too.
More than anything else this reveals just how impulsive the major questions doctrine revamp is. It all ultimately stemmed from Roberts's personal antipathy to a regulation, and everything since has been a dishonest attempt to dress it up so that he doesn't look like he's just shooting from the hip.
Maybe our biggest problem is that nobody is trying to solve any of our problems
Everybody is trying to predict the future instead
It really is wild that Russia pioneered mass fake social media accounts to influence an election, people who took that seriously were mocked mercilessly, and bad actors have spent every day since quadrupling down on that effective strategy
A VCR never sold my private info to a nazi
Also, hoping the lady who says Obama is guilty of treason, the guy who thinks Trump is Jesus, the lady sleeping with her security detail and who drinks on the job, and the guy who harvests raccoon penises will vote the president mentally unfit for office doesn't seem like the soundest strategy.
Man...I don't know. In the past few years I've almost died of Covid, had my career field evaporate out from under me w/ no obvious replacement, & watched one social contract after another fall to ruin.
Also, shit costs way more now.
You really can't convince me that it's just my vibes being off.
I will keep repeating myself until it becomes accepted fact in The Discourse: Elon Musk is a eugenicist and has repeatedly demonstrated this with what he has said and what he has done
