"Water consumption fears are false and overblown."

Turns out...

I've seen this quote before but it's never quite occurred to me how funny it is picturing one of these guys using the phrase "a new dawn" to describe this situation

A couple years ago I decided to “finally pull my shit together” and put everything on timers and checklists and paid for accountability via some app.. spent a lot of $ and my brain went into total revolt

my cousin is deaf and has cerebral palsy bc my great aunt got German measles while she was pregnant with him in the 60s

excusing this shit for a decade brought us here

“Oh they’re not all bad, they have *reasons”

but the reasons are bad too

it’s good though

scolding ppl for expressing a belief we can have a better system is not “working for change”

expressing beliefs, finding people with likeminded beliefs, getting ideas for ways we can change things, even blowing off steam to help get through this hard time —how is this “performative ?”

The White House is right, trump is definitely a king, he launched a pointless weird bloodbath involving various countries while presiding over a ruined economy

My school district is being forced to lay off several educators and a librarian because of a $500,000 budget gap, or roughly the amount spent on the war while I was typing this post.

I think the main problem with Carter was he did not do a war

this is such a stupid talking point

“Who are you recruiting”

No one. I’m using the text based social media app to express in text that it sucks shit that politicians are so beholden to $

We can want more than politicians beholden to their biggest donors or the promise of insider trading

and no one needs to be actively recruiting for the Dem party to express this desire either

I don’t think this is clear at all

Republicans and many Dems have been wanting to bomb Iran for decades

these SUVs are four year old killing machines

In an SuV the driver prob could not see a four year old

oh they def think the money will save them

and one of my first political memories is of the Iran Contra affair, during which the US sold weapons *to Iran

now they’re trying to tell us they’re ending a “forever war”

move slow and repair things

husbands to whom?

you said Markwayne was competent. Last week he said on tv the leader of Iran was Ayatollah Khomeini, who died in 1989

Doesn’t seem a great choice when the US President says he guesses there’s an increased likelihood of attacks on US citizens

VISUAL INVESTIGATIONS Analysis Suggests School Was Hit Amid U.S. Strikes on Iranian Naval Base The Feb. 28 school strike in Minab, which killed dozens, including children, appears to have been part of an attack on an adjacent naval base in southern Iran, where officials said U.S. forces were operating.

Exclusive: US investigation points to likely US responsibility in Iran school strike, sources say By Phil Stewart and Idrees Ali March 5, 2026 9:02 PM EST • Updated 8 hours ago [1/3] Graves are being prepared for the victims following a reported strike on a school in Minab, Iran, March 2, 2026. Iranian Foreign Media

the NYT headline re the story that, as stated clearly by Reuters in contrast, visual analysis indicates a likely US strike on the school. The NYT article goes on to say it was likely the US, but the headline obfuscates

“Amid US Strikes?”

always figured his romance was a pr stunt but nope he’s also vapid

Ooh the round French butter in the gold paper

The last photo of third-grader Mikaeil Mirdoraghi, waving to his mom before he left for school. He was killed shortly after in the U.S./Israeli strike on a primary school in Minab.

notoriously a giant asshole

“Bipartisanship” is what made it ok to eat lunch with your pals from the other side. But now those ppl are espousing Nazism in the group chat. Fuck bipartisanship, and your chummy lunches too

oh he’s my Senator and I’m calling him. Thx

The U.S. war on Iran is now estimated to cost $1 billion per day. Meanwhile Americans are told there’s no money for healthcare, hospitals, or basic social programs.

We’ve been asking this question for a long time, but I can’t remember a time where government was among the list of choices for most important problem
