BREAKING Explosion heard over Dubai airport on Saturday followed by a cloud of smoke in the air, a witness told AFP, as Iran presses attacks across the Gulf.
The Flightradar24 tracking website shows planes circulating above the airport in an apparent holding pattern
No ICE in schools. No ICE in hospitals.
Under Governor Newsom’s leadership, California is implementing the nation’s strongest laws to protect our residents from tactics being employed by President Trump and Stephen Miller’s secret police.
He's yelling at the dumbass Fox News guy. Definitely starting to feel the heat. Will it matter? Who knows, but he's not comfy right now and that makes me feel good.
"We have to understand him not as a fascist, though he is, but as a crazy person — a genuinely crazy person who wakes up every day & you never know what he's going to do bc he doesn't know"

Here’s an idea, instead of trying to nationalize elections while lying about what’s in this bill, why don’t you govern responsibly and try to win elections that way? bsky.app/profile/atru...
The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.
15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.
If we survive this, I really hope parents take a long look at how they are teaching empathy to their children. It's so obvious that that is the missing ingredient in huge chunks of the population, amplified by social media algorithms and cultural rewards for reactions rather than thoughtfulness.
Remember how this guy lobbied hard to get a pardon for a war criminal who slaughtered children? Turns out that’s literally his entire philosophy of armed conflict
Worth watching the whole clip, but purely in propaganda terms it seems to me, admittedly just an amateur observer when it comes to war fighting, that it may be useful to send the message to the 91+ million Iranian civilians that we are not trying to kill them.
this is explicitly genocidal
"target misidentification"
Excellent conversation with @teotten1.bsky.social and @gregsargent.bsky.social about the president’s shitshow war of choice in Iran, the desperate attempt to spin it by Karoline Leavitt, and how congressional Rs are running for cover to avoid being associated with it.
Memo to Caliban (“Let me lick thy shoe”) Leavitt, who “is suggesting that the media is covering U.S. deaths to make Trump look bad”:
“Everyone, when there's war in the air, learns to live in a new element: falsehood.”
“Tiger at the Gates,” by Jean Giraudoux
This appalling White House video game imagery on Iran illustrates what @teotten1.bsky.social and I discuss on today's pod: The role of fantasy, unreality and sadism-as-entertainment in MAGA politics.

The red "wasted" visual in the White House video game graphic is just beyond vile. This involves real human beings. They know civilians are being killed. They're reveling in it.
"WASTED"
There's a moral vacuum at the heart of this administration.
I'm not talking about the girls' school. The White House posting "WASTED" over a photo of the killing of combatants reflects an utter lack of humanity.
This is who we are, because we voted for these ghoulish, cruel bullies.
I keep saying this, but Gen Z Nihilism is quickly becoming something much darker. They have moved from believing in nothing to believing in nothing but power.
We didn't defend values like justice and Democracy. Now we're here.
I'm starting to get a sense this part of the equation wasn't planned out or workshopped in advance. "under every rock" lol.

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)
Once you deduct the healthcare sector, the jobs loss situation under Trump becomes far more grave.
Seems less than ideal.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
