And right on schedule, Michigan lawmakers are blaming Canada for having a terrible wildfire & are threatening sanctions on us for the smoke because they are ignorant arrogant morons: www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/business/u-s...

U.S. lawmakers press Canada on wildfires as Carney defends environmental record

LONDON - Some U.S. lawmakers on Thursday threatened to sanction Canada - or even possibly annex it entirely - as they raged about wildfire smoke blanketing many parts of Canada

Surprised a guy with a Nazi tattoo is complaining about shadowy forces of corporate and media and monied elites manipulating events behind the scenes

A total violation of international law. Eswatini is imprisoning people from multiple countries no crime, based on no violation of law in that country, and with the direct knowledge and acquiescence of the United States.

Reuters confirms. 11 more people captured by ICE have been sent to a maximum security prison in Eswatini (formerly Swaziland), a country where they have no ties and committed no crimes. reut.rs/4wpbIGU

I don’t have respect for any of you who thought a Totenkompf wasn’t a red line. You didn’t care about his rape apologia, his questionable finances, his derogatory comments towards others with PTSD, his RECENT consistent ableist slurring, his racism, his positive speaking of corpse desecration…

I don't think the language exists in the English language to describe the degree of faithlessness and moral degeneracy required to launch a surprise-attack war to overthrow the authoritarian Iranian government, then illegally betray refugees in your own country back to that exact government

Correction: Smoothgroins vindicated

I’m reposting both of these today for the very obvious reason that a lot of important pols and commentators simply refused to acknowledge the obvious issues with Platner. And some even reveled in them. www.liberalcurrents.com/graham-platn... www.liberalcurrents.com/the-men-defe...

The false report to CPS abt Pete Buttigieg is despicable.In my state,this happens *all*the*time*, tho typically to less prominent ppl.The perps are exes, landlords, neighbors; the callers may remain anonymous.

Absolutely disgusting. Not the most disgusting thing we’ve done in immigration even in the last 24 hours, but outrageous and public enough it feels purposeful.

In his first interview since being kicked out of the US, FIFA referee Omar Artan tells’s the NYT’s Matt Bigg that the biggest dream of his professional life has been shattered. The World Cup ref was questioned for 11 hours, held in a cell and then dumped on a plane. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/09/w...

Graham Platner for Senate@grahamformaine.bsky.social · 3mo ago

We destroyed Iraq. We destroyed Afghanistan. And the people behind all that destruction, all that killing, the people who sent me to war are still in power. Still sending young Americans to die thousands of miles from home.

Bc I guess I have to say something: prisons are endemic places of horrific abuse, & it should not surprise us - only horrify us - that Israeli prisons are sites of horrific abuse. This coexists with my belief that there is a Gentile eagerness to believe the absolute worst of Israelis bc Jewish.

Look I'm just gonna say it's probably bad that the public is overwhelmingly willing to believe every possible lurid account of atrocity committed by a minority Like that is an absolutely terrifying place to be, As A Jew.

Oh, the people who blow up ships are the bad guys? Huh.

Marco Rubio: "You're the bad guy in this. You guys should be not be blowing up ships."

This is why it's COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE for the state of Minnesota to collaborate with the federal government, especially with the FBI and DHS. We're helping them fulfill their mission of targeting Somalis for political incitement, while they laugh off any consequences for murdering our people.

From a strictly professional standpoint, maybe Graham Platner can get fucked.

People really gotta internalize that the situation in post-WW2 Europe was not "the traumatized Jews were welcomed back into society & the supportive arms of the Allies" but rather "many traumatized survivors languished in DP camps surrounded by people they no longer trusted & just wanted to leave."

Eli Sennesh@elisennesh.bsky.social · 4mo ago

In surveys of survivors in displaced-persons camps, "Where would you like to go?" as a ranked-preference question was generally answered along the lines of: 1) Palestine (the Zionist Yishuv) 2) Palestine (the Zionist Yishuv) 3) The gas chamber

The replies and QRTs of this are Real Fucking Bad. You do not actually need to make the commemoration of the Shoah a circumstance to use it to beat its survivors and descendants with the dead.

Rep. Ted Lieu@reptedlieu.bsky.social · 4mo ago

6 million Jewish people were murdered during the Holocaust. On Yom HaShoah, we honor their memory. It is our responsibility to fight back against antisemitism, violence, and hatred in all forms. Never again.

This. A million times this.

Donald Trump Does Not Have a Plan He has dictatorial desires. But not everything is a brilliant distraction or part of a cunning masterplan. Let’s not turn incompetent agents of malice into omnipotent supervillains. My new piece:

Okay this isn’t really happening anymore so I can tell you how l had “internal ICE sources”: the 3000 very stir-crazy ICE agents were all going wild on Minneapolis Tinder. Local girls would match with them and string them along for intel. They loved to brag about what they were doing all day

𓃦@wolfsbs.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Will said he’s in communication with ICE, who are federal agents, which is frankly just as bad.

The Administration has been accused of wanting to turn the clock back to a) pre Civil Rights b) pre New Deal c) pre Civil War, d) pre Enlightenment. The 14th Century might be a new record.

Wesley Morgan@wesleymorgan.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Always exciting to see the Avignon Papacy in the news

This is a relief. But he still has to be removed. I hold JD Vance in utter contempt. A Vance administration would still be a fascist project and would be a daily affront to the U.S. Constitution. But we simply can’t continue like this. We can deal with Vance next. Trump must go now.

Trump: “…I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE!”

I hope all the people who voted against Genocide Joe are feeling good this morning

Donald Trump just threatened to unilaterally destroy an entire civilization. Is there genuinely no limit to what Republicans will allow this unhinged, unwell man to do? Congress must come back to Washington to rein in this dangerous behavior immediately.

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

I'll never forgive the people who voted for this man, ever.

@booker.senate.gov , @kim.senate.gov , @pallone.house.gov -- As your constituent, I'd like to see all of you acting more like the S Korean legislature in Dec 2024. At a minimum, that means GETTING BACK TO DC NOW to do whatever you can, formally or informally, to stop this.

I appreciate @professormusgrave.bsky.social stressing that this must remain shocking for us, even after all we’ve endured of this man’s leadership. It’s vile, astronomically Islamophobic, and utterly psychopathic. It’s a daily shame to be governed by this man.

Katie Phang@katiephang.bsky.social · 4mo ago

What a disgusting, yet totally on-brand post from Convicted Felon Donald Trump on Easter, no less

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

What. Are. We. Doing.
