I know you are overwhelmed
by all the bad news of late,
but, nevertheless,
you should be aware
that the CDC is warning
about an increase in infections
of a drug-resistant infection
that can cause severe diarrhea,
which unfortunately
is just more truly shitty news.

Fecking republicans will sell anything out from under us.
The Chileans mine, product goes to China, and Americans get a devastated ecosystem.
"American First" my ass.

As someone who goes to Starbucks maybe once every 4 years, I can now assure you I will never go to Starbucks.
Stop it with this AI shit, people. It's a fucking coffee.

Girl, I nearly peed myself when I saw this.

And the way these clowns cheat, don't concede until you've recounted everything.

Granted, there could be a lot of info she gave @elpais.com that they have to sift through, vet, etc.
But also… there shouldn’t be a need for more evidence.
We have enough to know these creatures have no business running/ruining the world.

Amanda Ungaro: From sharing soirées with the Trumps to being deported by ICE The former Brazilian model and ex-ambassador to the United Nations speaks in an interview about her expulsion from the United States, which she attributes to maneuvers by her former partner, and about...

I’m sure we all hoped for details to bring this whole circus down, but alas…

Nixon was brought down by trying to cover up a break in.

These mother fuckers have been openly lining their coffers for years on top of hundreds of other crimes, gross incompetence and indifference to humanity’s plights and pleas.

The rage we feel is palpable.
🔥

I am existentially exhausted by these ignorant mendacious idiots.

Kinda funny how Republicans are attacking the Vatican for denouncing their war but never cared about all the sexual abuse of children being covered up. Really makes you think. (Lol)

We need Democrats to repeatedly, clearly, and with great specificity talk about the accountability to come for the regime.

Buckle up buttercup. Something's brewin'.

Or this is just a new level of crazy. Who can tell.

God I miss normal people in charge.

"The Widening Gyre" We sat holding hands, tête-à-tête— leaning in to one another.

There's a lot of dread and angst in the air tonight. Again.
Hold on to your loved ones. Make cocoa. Pour a brandy.
Take a deep breath. We'll scream at our reps in the morning.

I really, really, really hope they changed the passcodes to the nuke button.

Threatening genocide is a form of tyranny. I wish the Democrats would use the language of liberation to face that aspect head on. We all suffer from oppression when a madman vows annihilation. Human beings endowed by their creator with inalienable rights should not tolerate it.

Call me crazy, but we shouldn't have to wake up every day trying to figure out if the president of the United States is trying to manipulate the market or start a nuclear war.

Fuck impeachment, that will take far too long.
Force him to resign before breakfast tomorrow.

While we wonder what comes next, scrambling for some semblance of sanity... I just needed to say this:

Admittedly.
This is one hell of a way to distract us from the Epstein Files and the fact that the president is a pedophile.

I don't think you can just assume the men who have zero qualms about murdering people in boats on a flimsy pretext are bluffing about genocide.

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

How are we supposed to carry on about our lives when this unchecked madman threatens to plunge the world into a dark age?

I think it’s worth asking again — and seriously — what exactly do we have a 25th Amendment for if not for this?

An opposition party would not be on vacation right now. They would have coordinated message to the public about the fact that a President in cognitive decline is threatening more war crimes. They would be BLASTING the message on all available platforms.

If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment.

This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.

This is what happens when 77 million people take leave of their senses and put a manifestly unqualified, unfit, mentally ill narcissistic man-child in charge of the country and the world's most powerful. military. This is what happens when the media 'bothsides' election coverage.

Morally, legally, economically the war on Iran is disastrous and the disaster goes on for years no matter what happens now. But what cannot be overstated is that in pure national security terms it is also an unmitigated catastrophe.
