Homeland Security @DHSgov Democrats must end this DHS shutdown NOW.
it is not normal for official government social media channels to behave like arms of the Republican Party
For decades, parents were told to help children build willpower like a muscle, to resist things like junk food and too much time on their screens. But new research suggests a better strategy. n.pr/40g9n3g
AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.
I wonder what percentage of Americans knows that the CIA helped overthrow a democracy in Iran in 1953, installing a brutal dictator who tortured and murdered people. Republicans keep citing the 1979 Islamic Revolution as if that was the start of U.S.-Iran hostilities. Go back 26 years earlier.
I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.
1/ I've watched administrations handle various wars and military operations, and I can say without question I've never seen an administration show such casual disregard for the danger U.S. troops are facing or the death of U.S. troops. All things Trump are disturbing, but this particularly so.
We should be talking a lot more about how the San Francisco tech scene is populated by a strange cult of doom acceleration nerds who fantasize about using computers to destroy humanity.

This is what they mean when they say shit like "suicidal empathy."
It's just bloodlust. Not patriotism or deft military strategy. Just thuggery on a global scale.

I know that the people who need to read this aren’t here, but here goes:
Rules of engagement aren’t for the enemy. They’re for you. They’re for your soldiers when they’re captured or wounded. They’re for your civilians when they’re in range of the enemy. They’re for your allies, to reassure.
“If [wealthy, powerful people] can get us to accept that the future’s already settled, AI is already here, the end is already here, then we will create that for them. My most daring idea is to refuse.” — @tressiemcphd.bsky.social
EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints.
One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…
As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.
The King is mad
"No new wars" really just meant "f*ck Ukraine" and everyone knew it.
There should be an Earth for people who don't hate all living things
I’m worried that some people lost track of which companies own what and we are down to like five of them
The way people talk about X versus Bluesky is so disconnected from reality. Do people remember Twitter as a place where the discourse was always good faith and productive? It was and still is the opposite. The primary difference between these sites is just that one is led by and crawling with Nazis

“You're thinking of the $175 billion in tariff money all wrong. As if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here. Your money's in the White House ballroom, the renaming of the Department of Defense, the $10 billion transfer to the Board of Peace, and a hundred other unauthorized actions.”
The court has found Yoon Suk-yeol guilty as the ringleader of the insurrection. Former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun has been found guilty of performing critical duties in the insurrection.
I would have hoped by now that some dude would have written an op Ed about how straight women’s reaction to Bad Bunny - a man at peace with himself, emoting publicly + queer culture - underscores that the Manosphere bros are performing heterosexuality for other men and have no idea what women like.
I'm at their second benefit show right now. (They just opened their 3rd set with "American Idiot.) These white suburban parents are wearing t-shirts with slogans like "RADICALIZED BY BASIC HUMAN DECENCY" and "NO ONE IS ILLEGAL ON STOLEN LAND BUILT BY STOLEN HANDS." (4/?)
“A grand total of zero — zero — grand jurors agreed to return the proposed indictment. As a former federal prosecutor, I have never heard of this actually happening before.”

Rep. Angie Craig: "The attacks on Black and brown people in Minnesota have been egregious. At the end of the day, what they wanted out of Minnesota was for us to riot. I think this will go down in American history as one of the greatest examples of peaceful resistance from an entire community."
