People who were openly rooting for a president-for-life a year ago mad about gerrymandering sounds like you’re just losers who don’t like losing

If we have no Irish ancestry but memorize some Yeats poems, are we eligible for citizenship?

as it becomes clear that Yes has won in VA and gerrymandering will pass, a message to Republican voters:

you brought this on yourselves

you convinced the most fairness-obsessed, That Wouldn’t Be Fair-minded voters in the country to affirmatively vote to put you in the dumpster

you earned this

Ahem.

Man of God or Antichrist? MAGA faithful differ on their religious view of Trump The administration’s increasing use of Christian rhetoric has backfired among some religious voters

Interviewed for this piece in the @theglobeandmail.com

From Financial Times report:

"We have told you ten times that the economic collapse is inevitable" - Russia's chief communist Zyuganov.

"The entire first quarter already hit rock bottom. If you do not urgently take measures, then by the autumn we will face what happened in 1917."

So Chris Wright isn't wrong about the history of coal.

But, um, either he didn't check the numbers in the scenario **he lobbied for inclusion in the @iea.org's reports**, or he's got a condition he's not telling us about.

A little checking-the-numbers video on Chris Wright's Final Destination:

When they received the call to respond to an Israeli airstrike in the city of Mayfadoun, in southern Lebanon, most of the paramedics held back, having previously seen colleagues killed by double-tap attacks targeting rescuers. But the medics from the Islamic Health Association (IHA) rushed to the scene. By the time the other emergency workers arrived at the site, they found the IHA medics had indeed been caught in a second strike. They started evacuating their wounded colleagues, only for their ambulances to be hit in two further attacks. One of the paramedics covered his ears and screamed, convulsing in pain as shrapnel shattered the back window of the ambulance. The rescue mission on Wednesday afternoon had turned into a nightmare as Israel carried out three consecutive strikes on three sets of ambulances and medical workers.

Israel performed a literal quadruple tap attack in Lebanon to massacre three separate sets of medics.

Truly pushing the bounds of human depravity.

You can’t do that to rural voters! What are they, black people? bsky.app/profile/coll...

I have lived in Campbell, Chesterfield, Fairfax, Henrico, and Roanoke Counties over the last 40 years.

This is how the GOP markets to rural white voters.

Based on the SPLC indictment the FBI should indict itself

Two Palestinians Killed in Israeli Shooting Near West Bank School

There's no meaningful distinction to be made between the Israeli settlers in the West Bank who burn, pillage, and murder at will—in fact, actively promoted, aided, and defended by Trump pal Benjamin Netanyahu—and ISIS.

Genocidal religious terrorists both.

The Lesson Every Democrat Should Learn From Peter Magyar's Victory In Hungary The cost of living crisis needs a villain.

Peter Magyar's victory in Hungary was fueled by a potent message tying the affordability crisis to the corruption of wealthy elites. With Trump presiding over unprecedented corruption and with prices skyrocketing, Democrats have the opportunity to replicate Magyar's success in November and beyond.

Amazing people still cite Ryan Maue. He’s making fun of people with the heart palpitations bit.

Tweet by “Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth: “The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force. We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately.” Below there is a video of the announcement for his many, many illiterate fans

Behind Hegseth’s big stupid face, a painting can be seen.

The painting is of George Washington crossing the Delaware. It is by Emanuel Leutze.

An article from the National Parks Service: Smallpox, Inoculation, and the Revolutionary War Boston National Historical Park During the 1700s, smallpox raged through the American colonies and the Continental Army. Smallpox impacted the Continental Army severely during the Revolutionary War, so much so that George Washington mandated inoculation for all Continental soldiers in 1777. Just fifty-six years earlier, in 1721, Bostonian doctors and clergy introduced the procedure to the American colonies. Without the vision and determination of these early Bostonians in normalizing inoculation, Washington may not have made the decision to mandate inoculation for the Continental Army. Though it was a controversial action, many historians credit the medical mandate with the colonists' victory in the Revolutionary War and the creation of the United States of America.

Things seem bleak right now, but fascism keeps taking Ls everywhere you look.

As Trump’s lies get more egregious (and repetitive) I have at least noticed fewer mouth-breathing bootlickers willing to defend him in my comments.

And the administration is leaking about how he’s hurting negotiations and how they’re keeping him on the sidelines.

I’ll call that progress.

Translation:

This deal is about to be exactly like the JCPOA, minus Obama’s signature

A Maine air carrier was forced to stop delivering mail today. USPS owes them $388,000 and hasn't paid since March.

Trump is breaking the Post Office. Rural Maine pays the price. #mepolitics
