I want my tax dollars building schools in America, not blowing them up in Iran.

If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.

People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.

Tbh I’m not experiencing narrative rupture and it feels really bad being right so don’t worry it all feels bad one way or another

Narrative ruptured people: oh no
Priors confirmed people: oh no

I have experienced narrative rupture in the past, because look at me. But I haven't in a long time. So, yeah, bad regardless.

Is anyone else experiencing debilitating amounts of dread?

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.

I will vote for any candidate who promise to reschedule “spring forward” to 2pm on Monday so I lose an hour of work instead of an hour of sleep. I am prepared to become a single issue voter.

Another big embarrassing court loss for Trump…

Another federal agency illegally dismantled by Trump…

Americans trust Fauci over RFK Jr. and career scientists over Trump officials RFK Jr. has tried hard to villainize Fauci. Americans still trust Fauci more.

As the father of a t1d and the spouse of another, this makes me livid! This woman almost died multiple times in custody—the blood sugars cited are horrifying.

Fuck this administration and everyone enabling it in any way.

Finally, one (1) speaker points out that 25,000 scientists have lost our jobs and $32 billion in funding has been cut and censored.

Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine
Melting in a pot of thieves, wild card up my sleeve
Thick, heart of stone, my sins, my own
They belong to me
Me

You first, pal.

I voted to say "fuck you!" to trump and texas republicans today.

Normally I'm I'm a Person Booty guy, but I have to admit Gorilla Pie does sound tempting this morning.

I was hoping it was fake, because it is obviously AI slop, but no. www.war.gov/News/Release...

No, Dems aren't responsible for dipshits going fash. Dipshits have agency. "Mass Deportation Now" is not a reasonable thing to vote for. The people who voted for that are, at best, dipshits.

(That said, only a fifth? Lucky.)

How have crime rates in the United States changed over the last 50 years? Both violent and property crime are far below their 1990s peak, but some crimes see periodic rises.

Looking at the 2024 crime figures, it's absolutely insane how Trump, tech billionaires, and centrist pundits fooled everyone into thinking Biden had turned the U.S. into some Hobbesian hellscape.

50-year lows for violent crime, armed robbery, property crime. Second-lowest homicide rate.

‘I Just Stood Up’: The Stunning Arrest Of Aliya Rahman At The State Of The Union Rahman, who was Rep. Ilhan Omar’s guest, suspects she was targeted after testifying to Congress about her brutal ICE detention in Minneapolis.

NEW, from me: I talked to Aliya Rahman, who was dragged out of Tuesday's State of the Union + arrested for... standing up.

Really.

Rahman, who is autistic and has disabilities, was a guest of Rep. Ilhan Omar + was previously brutally detained by ICE in Minneapolis. www.huffpost.com/entry/aliya-...

OFFS. When Iran tried to interefere in 2020, researchers caught them and called them out. Then the Benz-Weiss-Taibbi-Musk-Jordan-Trump axis labeled those researchers "censors" ... and set about defunding them and dismantling their organizations.
