The constituency of Americans who see DEI as detrimental to the country is vanishingly small, the sort of constituency that can easily be ignored if politicians want to ignore it.

Remember when the IDF had a squad dress up as medical personnel to enter a hospital and execute an injured man in his hospital bed

It's a good thing we have walkable neighborhoods, robust public transport, and high speed trains in the US, otherwise these insane gas prices would be a real problem

This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

I think it's great that the president put on his most solemnly branded baseball cap to receive the returning coffins of soldiers killed in the unnecessary war he launched to distract from his failing presidency and pedophilia scandal.

Look at that gold-like letting. Classy as shit.

These asshole twerps with no brains or education from DOGE really did use ChatGPT to find NEH grants to terminate ILLEGALLY - ruining hundreds lives and destroying hundreds of the greatest humanities projects and partnerships of our time. I’m overwhelmed with rage and anger all over again.

The Trump Administration's choice to end their "Shield for the Americas" summit with the Monty Python Flying Circus theme march is inspired. I take back everything bad I ever said about the regime

Everyone should not have to have a direct line to elected officials in order to ensure that we are not kidnapped by the government.

Six people legally living in the US and legally traveling for work were disappeared by the US government and the only reason we knew about it was because one woman was family friends with a county commissioner and her cell phone pinged to two detention centers.

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

β€œHe’s an impressive person, kind of a [former Sen. Joe] Manchin, [Sen.

Hey guys. These are the people who recruited Platner. THEY are the ones comparing him to Manchin and Fetterman POSTIVELY.

At one point he said he overheard a security guard talking about bets made among the staff over which detainee would be next to die by suicide.
The guard said he had paid $500 into a pool, with the total pot riding on the outcome. The talk was particularly jarring, he said, because he had contemplated suicide himself.

Indifference to suffering is a hallmark of genocide.

Attempted suicides, fights, pain: 911 calls reveal misery at ICE’s largest detention facility The calls to 911 poured in from staff at Camp East Montana, the nation's largest U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility, in its first months of operation in El Paso, Texas.

β€œNever again” is meaningless if it doesn’t include this. There’s no reason to mince words other than cowardice: these are concentration camps and never again is now.

To all active military members, here is a reminder that if you die in 47's petty wars, you will be not be praised. Your family won't be consoled. You will be forgotten by your country, and your body will be shipped in darkness. Just another used up pawn to a leadership that has no morality.

I woke up with headaches for YEARS, usually at least 5 days a week. I found a pillow. It is German and is not cheap, and I already live in fear that when the time comes to get a new one they won't make them anymore or they will be $200 and *I WILL PAY ANY PRICE* to wake up not in agony.

I don’t want to share the video because it’s pretty graphic, but apparently we’re at the β€˜Republican Senator breaks the arm of a Marine IN FULL DRESS because that marine was protesting the Republicans starting a war of choice with Iran’ stage of things.

Screenshot of a tweet from Mike Berg, Sen Sheehy's staffer saying "Our excellent Capitol Police dropped off a patch for Senator Sheehy after he helped them remove this unhinged protestor from the hearing." with a photo of the patch.

If you're wondering about US Capitol Police's opinion on Senator Tim Sheehy after he attacked a protesting veteran that they were in the process of also attacking... they gave him a patch.

This is what the Capitol Police think of protesters. Remember j6th with that in mind.

Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline.

I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate.

Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.

[WARNING: This is a bit graphic.]

A Marine Corps veteran protesting Trump’s War on Iran had his arm broken by Capitol Police and GOP Senator Tim Sheehy. It appears to be a compound fracture.

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.

And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court.

That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits.

Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.
