They’re telling me a great empire will be destroyed if I attack Persia. Even the oracles who don’t like me very much, very nasty, they all said to me, “Sir, it’s one of the great empires, and it’ll be destroyed. And all because you attacked Persia.” That’s what they’re telling me.

Now would be a good time for anyone who wants to learn about recent Iranian history to read this. It is well worth your time and money (I am sure your local library has it if you don’t want to purchase it).

THE HATERS SAID THE PATRIOTS COULDN'T DO IT. AND THEY WERE
CORRECT. HONESTLY GREAT CALL FROM THE HATERS

Counting the minutes

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

This has to end

We are now a shithole country. Do it, Europe

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

This is, in my opinion, not only the correct moral/ethical/legal position but also the correct political framing. Everyone can see the agency is out of control; everyone can see that it is constantly violating human rights. "Scrap it and start over" is the moderate position.

The GOP

BLUE WAVE

BLUE WAVE

BLUE WAVE

So:

Fascism is bad
The First Amendment is good
Genocide is an actual fucking crime

And also:

It's appalling to be in 2025 where each of these is not, in fact, taken as part of the baseline shared reality anymore

Yall asking Grok questions like it’s not pumping out 1000 cubic meters of poison gas into South Memphis every 15 minutes all so MFs can get a corny ass screenshot to dunk on.

all i want is to one day own a modest sized home in a walkable neighborhood and raise money for shelter animals. wear an outfit i like, walk to the grocery store, buy some nectarines, feed cats, and live in peace. just don't understand why achieving this is so hard

THIS.

The morning has arrived and he’s still speaking.

Headed to the Senate floor to join Senator Booker in his marathon speech to stand up for people of this country. Thanks Cory!

Yes, Tim Walz sounds like a good person.

Elon Musk Rat is barely human.

The fabulously wealthy whiner doesn't have an empathetic bone in his boy.

He has a chainsaw for a heart.

Support Democracy. Boycott Tesla.

I’m not reposting that stupid thing from Elon, but his daughter is alive and pretty fucking awesome and he could have taken her as she was and been super proud of her and bragged about how his daughter was way more cool than he could ever be but noooooooooo, he’s just a fucking right wing asshole.

…

I hate him

I hate his fucking face

I hate his fucking voice

I hate his burnt sienna fake tan

I hate his tiny anus-shaped mouth

I just fucking hate him so much but most of all, I hate what he’s done to our country.
