I'm badly wounded, many of my friends are dead, and I haven't been home in ten years. But at least now Helen will have to return to Sparta.
US murder campaign also counterproductive. The "military strikes on alleged drug trafficking boats" has been "undermining traditional investigative methods, according to a previously unreported assessment by the Drug Enforcement Administration, a closed-door congressional briefing and interviews" 🧵

That @CNN journalist are so astonished by the overwhelming percentage of Canadians who are angry at America, is evidence of the lack of awareness they have of the world outside their borders The US has been attacking us for 2years! Insulting us! Did they really think Canada would love the US?
What is the point of negotiating an agreement with a government run by child rapists who don't honour their existing agreements? #Canada #EatShitAmnerikkka
Very important piece by Cerin Lindgrensavage and @davidasuper.bsky.social. This behavior by the administration is not only illegal, it is anti-constitutional. thehill.com/opinion/cong...
Congress rejected some of Trump’s proposed budget cuts. OMB is making them anyway.
President Trump and the Office of Management and Budget are accused of violating the separation of powers by attempting to unilaterally withhold funds that Congress specifically appropriated.

It would be so helpful if rapey, disgusting men stopped thinking they should run for office.

Breaking News: the algae has agreed to accept $300 billion to consider vacating the reflecting pool
More than 200 people are dead just nine months into this illegal operation. We have no transparency. No accountability. And a general who doesn’t even defend the efficacy of it. Success?

In January, Zohran Mamdani took action against bankrupt landlord Pinnacle, which was responsible for over 5,000 housing violations. Thanks to his intervention, Pinnacle's new owners have forgiven millions in tenants' back rent. This is what governing for the people looks like.
I just did a slow re-watch of The Apartment, and even after at least a dozen viewings, it's a marvel of plotting, dialogue, performance, and emotional punch.

The state of California should immediately sue this irresponsible, lying POS for $100 billion for defamation and libel. Two can play that game. Only difference? California's lawsuit would not be frivolous, as Trump's accusations are without basis and are intended to undermine the state's elections.
Musk functionally ran the US government for 6 months last year and managed to: increase spending, slash services, kill 100,000s, and help nurture both Ebola & Screwworms. Yet somehow no one mentions this when they talk about the company he is going to take public this week.

I'm rewatching the Chernobyl series on HBO, and the opening voiceover from Legasov resonates: "What is the cost of lies? It's not that we'll mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth at all."
Jay Bhattacharya has ordered that a paper showing the effectiveness of COVID19 vaccines in preventing severe disease and hospitalization be suppressed and hidden. This man has been crying nonstop about political censorship for 6 years. But he’s the one who is actually doing it.
