It’s not a distraction. It’s just who they are.

So, so many of us.

The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill her—and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?

AI error or not, Iran school bombing is a permanent stain on America’s soul | Will Bunch A debate on AI in warfare obscures the truth about an Iran school bombing. U.S. humans are to blame for this war crime.

They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175

Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game

There is no doubt that the Iranian Regime was & is evil. Celebration by Iranians at home and in the diaspora has deep validity that is not mine to grant or judge. But, Trump’s actions and goals are not aligned with liberation. Those who align with him see people as disposable objects - a deep evil.

The idea that this war is a distraction is insane. It’s been part of the plan all along. Trump is a rapist pedophile. 2 evils embodied in one person. Neither is a distraction. They are the sum of his being. This country had an opportunity to spurn its evil origins. It chose the abusers. Grotesque.

White House: the witness’s allegations are “completely baseless” and “backed by zero credible evidence.”

Fact: FBI found her credible enough to interview repeatedly, and she received a financial settlement from the Epstein estate.

Humanity heating planet faster than ever before, study finds Researchers identify sharp rise to about 0.35C every decade, after excluding natural fluctuations such as El Niño

It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.

Older folks are constantly complaining to me about how young people don't use maps.
Of course, I tell them. What would a kid need a map for? We don't let them go anywhere.

If you love maps, exploring and childhoods that are full of adventure, independence and curiosity, we must protect mobility.

They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that

I wouldn't actually do this though

The harbor is already polluted enough; no need to introduce some genetically-mutated heavy-metal laden predator to the mix

He’s going to get backed into a corner and a nuke is going to get used. They have no plan for dealing with the straight of Hormuz. Dick Cheney was evil but not stupid like these guys.

Stock market seems to be recovering. Capitalists happy. War good. Crony-authoritarian good.

The DOW is crashing. Someone let Pam Bondi know so we can talk about the Epstein Files.

If you don’t care about lives do you care about the stock market? DOW down 1000 points this morning.

This isn't a difference of 2 parties. Any continued acquiescence and capitulation is legitimation and complicity in the disintegration of this country. I am deeply saddened and angry that you and your colleagues have not done more to stop this. Please provide me with an explanation that makes sense?

Starting an illegal, immoral, unethical, unjust, unplanned, war with Iran should generate an immediate response from Congress for cessation of hostilities and removal of that thing in the Whitehouse, and his corrupt, evil, violent, cronies.

Dear Representative Magaziner,
I'm not even sure where to start. There are so many things to be appalled at, and distressed by, coming from this administration.
