2/ These are not military bases, they are the civilian infrastructure that keeps ordinary people alive. More than 1,300 people have already been killed since the attacks began, and nearly 6,700 civilian sites have reportedly been struck.

A flour and starch factory.
Oil depots blanketing Tehran in thick black smoke and contaminated rain.
65 schools. 13 hospitals.
Centuries-old heritage sites.
These are the latest targets in the illegal US-Israeli assault on Iran.
We're living in a new Jim Jones era but without the cult isolation. After yesterday's hearings, I just have to ask, "Is *anyone* in Trump's administration, in the GOP Congress, and in his larger constituent supporter pool even remotely sane?" I now know how Alice felt at the Mad Hatter tea party.
And for something completely different - here's a Bill McClintock number that lives rent-free in my head.

BREAKING: Donald Trump just directed the Pentagon to test nuclear weapons before meeting with China.
The US has not conducted a nuclear test since 1992 and we must not resume. This is a reckless decision that will only make us less safe and lead to a new nuclear arms race.
there's a picture of her with the front of her shirt just soaked in blood. imagine trying to crack an 84 year old woman's skull and body slamming an 84 year old vet leaning on a walker.
is this the warrior ethos we've heard so much about?
Alt text: A social media post from Donald Trump’s truth social account. The text reads: “‘I love the smell of deportations in the morning...’ Chicago about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR 🚁🚁🚁.” Below is an edited image styled after the movie Apocalypse Now. It shows Trump wearing military fatigues, sunglasses, and a black cavalry hat with crossed sabers, sitting in front of a burning city skyline with helicopters flying overhead. The words “Chipocalypse Now” are written in white in the movie-poster style.
Trump is declaring war on an American city and American citizens. This is exactly how we spiral into a civil conflict.
CW pet loss (NOT ONE OF MINE):
Maru the cat, an early icon of internet video, has passed away. His adorable antics and box obsession brought me and my family many smiles over the years.
I think his siblings Hana and Miri will continue his heartwarming tradition. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
WTF?
Not only have they removed half of the text of Article 8 (Congressional powers) and the entire text of Article 9 (Habeus Corpus, among other issues), if you follow the "Article I Explained" link, those parts are missing there, too.
This wasn't an accident.
US constitution
This is the US Constitution page @ the Library of Congress
Sections 9 and 10 have been removed
9 includes habeas corpus, the courts' review of unlawful detention & imprisonment
This gov't can't change the Constitution w/ sneaky editing, but it's a new low: constitution.congress.gov/constitution/

Grok is now calling itself, "mechahitler" while spewing antisemitism.

Do people really just eat food left out on the counter all day with no ill effects?
🙄 People are really worked up about me tossing the soup.
Are 'Anti-Baccers' a thing? People who believe food safety warnings are a scam and foodborne pathogens are a hoax perpetuated by Big Government? Many of the takes in the comments are, a little scary.

20 federal immigration agents mistakenly raided the Oklahoma City home of a family of U.S. citizens, held the mother and her three daughters at gun point, and seized the family’s phones, laptops, and life savings.
Agents from the FBI, ICE, and DHS were cruel and abusive, treating the mother and…
A Venezuelan family is calling for a 2-year-old to be returned to her mother after the U.S. authorities deported the mother to Venezuela on Friday without the child. The girl’s father was sent to a prison in El Salvador in March. The toddler, Maikelys Antonella Espinoza Bernal, remains in foster care in the United States, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Officials said in a statement that the child was removed from her parents and from the manifest of her mother’s deportation plane for her own “safety and welfare.” The Trump administration claims the girl’s parents are members of Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang, but it has not offered evidence to back this up.
Nothing to see here, just a child separated by essentially impermeable borders from both her parents for her “safety and welfare” based on [checks notes] no “evidence to back this up.”

Congrats to David Myles. Quite the career turn but after Inner Ninja went platinum you knew he had range.
He’s a smart, caring, thoughtful guy from a smart, caring, thoughtful family. Confident he will serve Fredericton well. And can’t help but think how happy Jim would be about this.
