"I said, 'Why don't we just capture the ship? Why did we sink them?' He said, 'it's more fun to sink them.'"
Oh, no biggie. Just the president of the United States out there boasting about the commission of war crimes, to the uproarious laughter of his Nazi cohort.
Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music
Several dozen folks did
Some even dubbed music over the original clip.
I haven't been able to get this out of my head.
So I give you
A Bluesky exclusive:
Reservoir Ducks

it's funny he didn't think to go out and buy the same brand of shoes, in the correct size, and wear those instead
After the Bay of Pigs fiasco, President Kennedy got in front of reporters and took the blame.
That he and he alone was the responsible officer of the government and that the fault lay with him.
Just thinking about that tonight for reasons.
Psychiatric hospitals — increasingly owned by for-profit corporations — are illegally turning away patients during crises.
Yet only a handful face penalties, with fines that are trivial, a ProPublica investigation found.

Instead of lowering prices for you, Republicans are busy dreaming up new ways to make the rich even richer.
Here’s their latest idea: sidestepping Congress to hand another giant tax cut to the top 1%.
There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase “accused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory “hasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...
Q: You just suggested Iran got a Tomahawk & bombed its own school. But you're the only person in your govt saying this. Even your defense secretary wouldn't say that. Why are you the only person saying this?
TRUMP: I just don't know enough about it. It's something I was told is under investigation.
Oh my god no! The Iranians were developing Trump's healthcare plan.
New from me at @motherjones.com: Today, @ericswalwell.bsky.social said he's working to help the family of a Deaf kid seek humanitarian parole so he can continue attending CA School for the Deaf–and his staff brought his hearing aids to Colombia for him to use. www.motherjones.com/mojo-wire/20...
If you're scared of protesting or a general strike because you could lose your job, healthcare, and housing, or even go to jail, now you understand why the US has no universal healthcare or housing and no guaranteed parental leave, but DOES have the largest prison and police system on planet Earth.
Millionaires stopped paying into Social Security for the rest of 2026 today.
Billionaires stopped paying in on January 1st.
You're going to pay in for 298 more days.
This makes zero sense. The wealthy should pay in all year like the rest of us.
Scrap the cap.
Electing this guy twice is really bad. But the real reason the US cannot be trusted is that it has been unable to impeach him.
Historian here Greg Sargent is right. A war of obliteration without purpose one that tanks our economy and destroys American hegemony, even our allies are not happy to put it mildly. Trump was truly sent to destroy the republic.
Performative public lying is a hallmark of far right authoritarian parties
Also, he is what Jake Tapper & Alex Thompson told everyone Biden was. Their silence now is deafening. And damning.
I've used the word gaslighting to describe Maura Healey's actions before, and I think it fits. She is constantly trying to have it both ways by confusing the public about what her actual policies and positions are.
Trump: "You daughter, she has to be of age. Like above 6 years old."
Silly woman should lead by example
Jesus Christ. This is so insane. There are zero responsible adults in the Republican Party. Zero.
Q: You said the war is 'very complete.' But your defense secretary says 'this is just the beginning.' So which is it?
TRUMP: You could say both
Iran has Tomahawk missiles? Hey @warren.senate.gov, constituent here, I have some questions about how Iran got Tomahawk missiles. How about you?
Glad to hear Jello is ok. He’s a real one. Will never forget when he gave me a ride across SF in his clunker of a car. The back seat was full of random stuff he had trash picked. I know singers of bands who couldn’t sell out my living room with more hubris. Good dude www.punknews.org/article/8775...
CBS reporter: In a phone interview, President Trump told me the war could be over soon: “I think the war is very complete, pretty much. They have no navy, no communications, they’ve got no Air Force.” He added that the U.S. is “very far” ahead of his initial 4-5 week estimated time frame.
Oil price tanking.
Either Trump is about to end the Iran War or he's manipulating the market to enrich his cronies.
Since Rep. Andy Ogles is back in the news for the typically bigoted, boneheaded reasons, it's another opportunity to point out that he once raised $25K to open a cemetery for miscarried babies. He then ditched the idea and can't explain what happened to the money.
My SIL spent her last phone conversation with her dying mother trying to convert her and just pissed her off.
The so-called Christian Zionists, who believe Israel must vanquish its Muslim enemies to usher in the second coming of Jesus, consider the current war to be a prelude to the End Times.
Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. are merging their publicly traded golf-course holding company with Powerus, a Florida-based drone company, with the goal of filling the gaps left by the Trump administration’s ban on Chinese drones. trib.al/XtKzBRi
"No one wants to see a feminist spin on Frankenstein" is a thing I actually just read.
Bangor Daily News is still family owned.
