My thoughts are that this prediction is not looking great.
I’ve been thinking about this guy almost daily for ten fucking years. essentially my entire 30’s. when he finally croaks I imagine I’ll let out a sigh so deep it realigns my fucking spine
FRENCH NATO GEN. YAKOVLEFF: “.. [Trump] wants to share the political risk, not the military risk. .. He’ll drop us the minute it suits him. .. This isn’t the time to buy a promo ticket on the Titanic.”
What do you MEAN the president audibly SHIT himself live on camera and they immediately cancelled the press conference and rushed everyone out of the room like it's a fire drill, and it happened two days ago, and I'm just hearing about it NOW?
Seems like one of those issues that should greatly concern everyone regardless of their politics.
The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect. /1
Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.
Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

NYTimes: affirmative action for mediocre editors angry at MeToo@originalist.bsky.social · last yr."Like the McCarthyism that swept through American society in the 1950s, irrational madness dominates American society." South Korean press speaking obvious truths American papers too afraid to publish Unlike U.S. editorial boards, speaks clearly and plainly about Trump administration doing and why
My main observation from the last few hours of monitoring US social media is that Democrats are universally denouncing political violence and calling for calm while MAGA are escalating language and openly lusting for retribution against broad categories of people they identity as their enemies.
Every damn word🔥 “How is it that you can explain that we still are running up the credit card and we have nothing to show for it except for the fact that we won’t have food on the table? And we won’t have healthcare.” - @repjasmine.bsky.social
Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.
$9 billion a year for NSF is absolute chump change. It's nothing. And yet, cutting it will devastate American science for decades. God, we're led by a morons, empowered by idiots.
Dannagal Goldthwaite Young@dannagal.bsky.social · last yr.Your regular reminder that NSF grants built the internet and helped the U.S. dominate tech.
This is what courage looks like. Kudos to the team at 60 Minutes.
🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read. He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.
