Would it be possible for the next Democratic president to offer amnesty to any deported immigrant who had no criminal charges and offer them green cards if they want to come back? Those who have American citizen spouses and children or who served in the U.S Military could be first in line.

Seriously, if Tulsi Gabbard was an actual Russian agent what would she be doing differently?

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment.  As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality.  We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another.  Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue.  In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread.  What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

The WSJ reports that he is doing this as a sort of "madman strategy." I don't buy it. I think he can't help himself. He's a thug who makes threats thinking that his opponents will cave. But it's not working and I'm worried he's going to need to escalate to justify himself.

Whether it’s pictures of Barack Obama reading to a group of children with Zohran Mamdani or it’s pictures of Donald Trump with Jeffrey Epstein on an island full of sex-trafficked minors, occupants of the oval office are making some controversial choices about who they take pictures with.

What a system. Can't have a no-confidence vote for the guy pulling Katrina numbers, but they can pretend they had one for one of the most successful medical interventions in human history.

Reporter: If you don’t have a deal by Wednesday, will you extend the ceasefire or restart attacks?

Trump: Maybe I won’t extend it… and we’ll have to start dropping bombs again.

I haven't seen the news media mentioning this one one today. It's not like Trump hasn't already made an ass of himself when it comes to the Catholic Church and the Pope.

It seems to me like Bluesky is really taking off recently. It’s having a growth spurt I think.

I’m going to post a lot more original content here now.

I help save street dogs in Thailand and try to post content that is uplifting and that will make you smile!

The old dogs are my fav ❤️
