The words "North Carolina," and "Missouri" do not appear in this piece of shit article.
Neither does the word "decade."
"Florida" and "Texas" appear in subordinate clauses, after words like "After Virginia ..." and "Gov. Gavin Newsom of California framed ..."

New, from me: Take the Palantir manifesto seriously, if not literally.
It reveals that our tech philosopher kings want public money, but without public accountability. This creates a dilemma for governments unaligned with its techno-fascist vision. 🧵

They are, but still, I agree with your “DUH” lol
Good point in general but this is 100% something that his WWE contacts could pull off in their sleep. Dementia Don will probably brag about it at some point. This administration traffics in compelled compliance and I assume they leverage on anyone they want to silence.
Donald Trump must be removed from office for threatening war crimes and genocide.
Speaker Johnson: bring the House back into session.
Invoking the 25th Amendment and impeachment must be on the table, but Congress should also move on a War Powers resolution to stop Trump.
Yeah it seems like the real first video we need is the one where Soler stole Lopez’s girl back in Atlanta
Imagine devoting your life's work to perfecting the seatbelt and then the first time there's a serious accident every occupant of the car goes flying right through the windshield. This post is about the founding fathers.
What the…? Upside: I DID see what it was in response to & your nephew’s brain is excellent. Sweet child is doing some heavy lifting trying to maintain balance between the good in the world and whatever it is that makes people see something beautiful and respond in the most depleting way possible
So there’s no regime change, we lift all sanctions against them going back decades, they retain missile and drone capabilities, they control the strait and can charge tolls, and keep their enriched uranium. So much for “unconditional surrender.”
The fact that nobody seriously believes there is an institution in this country that will check the president—that we’re all just sitting here hoping that he gets distracted and fails to follow through on his genocidal threats—is the most damning indictment of our political system I’ve seen yet.
On seeing Trump’s post, I thought immediately of Mark Jacob’s October piece about how the media is missing the biggest story there is — Trump’s apparent mental illness. Jacob, a former Chicago Tribune editor, wrote: “It keeps getting worse, and the mainstream media keep making the same mistakes in their coverage of the King of Crazytown.” After Trump claimed he “predicted” 9/11, Jacob wrote on Bluesky that “the media need to be writing about his mental unfitness every day until we get rid of him and save our country.” But of course, that didn’t happen then, and it didn’t happen this time.
Thanks to Margaret Sullivan for highlighting how I’ve sounded the alarm about Trump’s mental unfitness and the media’s failure to confront it. @sulliview.bsky.social

This man was up in the sky from 2020-2021 and made sure to connect with Black folks on Earth to find out what the hell was going on and commiserate FROM SPACE. FROM SPACE! That's the guy we have up there, breaking barriers and making them re-write all the history books.

This is heartbreaking and ridiculous. Another unnecessary catastrophe launched by an administration that just wants to break everything

The Department of State tweets a video of Secretary Marco Rubio. In the video, Rubio says: "Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, Iran had spent that money helping the people of Iran. They would have a much different country."
FactPost News tweets a video of Donald Trump speaking at a podium. In the video he says: "We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things."
hmm
Pam Bondi and Donald Trump may think her firing gets her out of testifying to the Oversight Committee.
They are wrong - and we look forward to hearing from her under oath.
There is no inherent shame in being fired, but imagine the shame of crossing every ethical and legal line in defense of a lawless leader who routinely throws loyalists under the same damn bus… and THEN getting fired.
Just a note of appreciation for Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's fierce devotion to the rule of law.
APRIL FOOLS' DAY
is canceled this year because no made up prank could match the unbelievable shit show going on in U.S. right now.
There's a lot of conservative politics rooted in the fundamental idea that accommodations of difference are "special treatment" at constant risk of being poached by the "undeserving", and that suffering is both an inevitable fact of life and virtuous.
It's a contemptible social rot.
Exactly! “Without threat” is not usually placed immediately before an extreme threat, but maybe that’s just his trademark… swerve?
Debacle ya say?
I think this is about the temperature but honestly it works for decades as well
Sánchez: “You may have heard that Spain is alone. They’re the same people who said that when we recognized the State of Palestine, and then others followed.
“We are not alone — we are the first. Those who will end up alone are the ones defending the indefensible.”
So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was “your piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t know what is.
