you know i was kind of dreading the world cup bc of the state of the US right now but i’ve come to realize i was really shortsighted. this is just one example proving it’s exactly what humanity as a whole needed.
Dr. Lucky Tran@luckytran.com · 3mo agoA Japanese fan broke down crying after his country's elimination, but a group of Brazilians fans went to console him and Mexican fans made him soar. You gotta love the World Cup! ❤️🌎⚽️ Video: RÉCORD
It's obvious but still striking to consider that we have a United States government driven solely by one man's emotional dysregulation and dysfunction.
When reading the physician's sworn statement under penalty of perjury on shocking denial of medical care to Alex Pretti ⬇️ Remember Kristi Noem's statement earlier today: "Medics were on the scene immediately and attempted to deliver medical aid to the subject."
Ryan Goodman@rgoodlaw.bsky.social · 8mo agoWOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment "I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to assess the victim. At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."
Beyond helping establish DHS itself in 2003, Mr. Mitnick was a senate-confirmed Trump choice for General Counsel for DHS in his first term. I've talked with him a few times, and he's not a man for hyperbole. So bear that in mind when you see him calling out DHS's "lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty."
"I'm not even mad at you dude" "Are you okay? The language of modern day terrorists, apparently.
🇬🇧 WATCH: “How dare he say this? A man who dodged the draft. Absolute disgrace.” UK soldiers who served alongside us and mothers of the fallen react to Trump disparaging their sacrifice to denigrate NATO. (H/T @lbc.co.uk @mrjamesob.bsky.social ) Putin is pleased.
Also: when a government acts brutally and lawlessly and immorally, but tells you that pointing those things out incites violence and terrorism, that government and its agents are entitled to no respect or credence.

Wouldn't it be nice if every news outlet that covered the Bukele Oval Office meeting noted: District court wrote: Abrego Garcia "has never been charged with or convicted of any crime."⤵️ Fourth Circuit: The government presented "NO EVIDENCE" of MS-13 affiliation. Abandoned argument before court. ⤵️
By some estimates about 1% of America was on the streets protesting Trump's regime yesterday. These protests were planned LONG before the tariff disaster and the meltdown of the economy. It's going to be a long, hot summer, Donald.
And behold, on March 28th of 2025, a thousand memes were born.

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

Trump and Musk are for they/them. They're not for you.
Took a stab at this recently but it’s self-evidently obvious that billionaires, top corporate executives, and indeed Trump himself, are all elites www.liberalcurrents.com/an-open-soci...
jamelle@jamellebouie.net · 2y agoeither people specify what they mean when they say “elite” or the term is just meaningless pejorative. both parties are dominated by elites in any conventional sense of what that means! the question is: why are right-wing elites more palatable to voters than liberal ones?
