I want to focus on the end. How did Hegseth know it would be quick or easy? Out of his extensive military training at Fox News? Why would anyone listen to the military advice of a guy who hit someone with an ax and kicked a skateboard into his own nuts?

I remember those days. Mr. Softee trucks roaming the streets, painted in rainbows and blaring Taylor Swift. Kids running up, dollar bills clutched in their hands, jumping in back to have their dicks cut off and getting a hormone shot. Then running off to play basketball and join a swim team.

The rules of the game have changed. Because of you, Michigan. We cannot be bought. Onto November.
Now we will learn if "vote blue no matter who" holds for the centrists. If they don't rally behind El-Sayed, that proves that it's all about corporate donations for them. If they do, then that destroys their gravy train.

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · yesterdayNEWS: Trump just bragged about gutting endangered species protections so oil drilling, logging, development, and even military training can expand with fewer restrictions.
I trust Robert Reich. This is a ponzi scheme. Musk is a criminal.
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · yesterdayThis Thursday, SpaceX insiders will be released from their first post-IPO stock lockup and can cash out early. As I've been saying, this has all the hallmarks of a Ponzi scheme.
Being a Democratic Socialist means taking from the obscenely rich to give to all of us. What did Musk do to make a trillion dollars? Did he invent the cars or the rockets? No. He creates nothing. We can use a wealth tax to take him down to a billion dollars (!) and use the money yo help people.

Fortunately, we the people can do a lot to rein in Trump. It's called "voting every Republican out."

This is the real reason Trump called off his "massive attack" on Iran this past weekend. My question is: you only use these weapons so you don't have to park pilots over their targets; so if Iran's air defenses are obliterated, why aren't we attacking with jets?

10% of all construction last year was on data centers. We are in a recession.
I don't know why people think this is a left-wing echo chamber. I only want to get corporations out of healthcare, break their hold on government, and tax them at 75 percent. The alternative is so much worse.

Carville gave us Bill Clinton. Remember triangulation? Remember workfare? Clinton was the most republican member of the democratic party. He single-handedly destroyed the legacy of FDR. No one should listen to this quisling shitgibbon. We should have liberals in the liberal party.
The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · 2d ago🔥 Oh snap @warren.senate.gov: “James Carville has an opinion on everything… and I pay attention almost 1 out of 10.” (From TMZ D.C.)
I am here specifically because bsky doesn't platform Nazi choads who spread their hatred and disinformation. I was banned from Facebook for being anti-trump and socialist. Part of a left-wing purge. Improve bksy by increasing the character limit and putting posts in chronological order.

If the US controls Hormuz, then why is the navy scared to send ships through to escort freighters?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTrump, who has been claiming the US controls the Strait of Hormuz, now says he's talking with Iran about "opening the Strait literally by tomorrow" 🤔
Trump: "I view that fund as a positive, and a lot of Republicans do, too." So paying people who stormed the Capitol, smeared shit on the walls, and beat cops is a positive? And the GOP agrees? So all that "support the blue line" stuff was just performative nonsense. Gotcha.
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 2d agoQ: "Did you sign off on Todd Blanche rescinding the anti-weaponization fund?" Trump: "I view that fund as a positive, and a lot of Republicans do, too." Q: "Did you sign off on Todd Blanche rescinding it?" Trump: "I didn't look at it…I don't know what they agreed."
That's the big decision you have to make?! Not your illegal war in Iran? Inflation? Job losses? Paving stones. That's your big decision.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTrump: "Now we have a big decision to make. Do we take the pavers that are red -- the red, brick pavers -- and do we change them into a granite?"
Blue cities: "Look at Trump. He's a pig. Morbidly obese. Suits don't fit. Spackles on orange makeup. Smells like a dirty diaper. Falls asleep in cabinet meetings. His hands are gross. Lies about everything. Everything about Trump is a hot mess."
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTrump: "Look at the blue cities. What do they have in common? They're all dirty. They're filthy dirty. Their streets are dirty. Their streets smell. Their storefronts are broken. Their trees are all gross. Everything about the place is dirty. It's really all of them."
Trump voters, remember when you said the economy was the most important issue to you? I don't think he heard you. Eat AI slop.
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 3d agoGood to know after a tough weekend on the golf course the president is back at work laser focused on improving the lives of Americans by resuming his deranged AI marathon.
Whether or not you think it's a genocide, I think we can all agree enough is enough. Israel should just stop.
Since we're going to relive Covid. An ambulance on my block once per week. NYC hospitals overwhelmed. Turning patients every hour so they could breathe. Changing their diapers. Garbage bags as PPE. Refrigerator trucks as morgues. Bodies stacked like cord wood. Mass graves on Hart Island. Remember.
Most of late-stage capitalism is built on sublimated slave labor. Prisoners. Paying a $7 minimum wage. Exploiting migrants. Feudalism never went away.

No such thing happened. Trump was planning a massive attack on Iran this weekend. He wanted it to end before the markets opened on Monday. They missed their window, so he canceled it. This is the 50th time Trump has said a deal is imminent. He has lied every time before.
NBC News@nbcnews.com · 4d agoBREAKING: Trump pauses attacks on Iran, citing “perimeters of a deal” that would end Tehran’s “nuclear threat” and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

U.S. agrees to pause attacks on Iran amid talks over ‘perimeters of a deal,’ Trump says
The president said the U.S. was “locked and loaded and ready to go” against Iran but that he agreed to cancel attacks “subject to being able to rapidly make a DEAL.”

If true, this is disturbing. Citizens of places like Guam and American Samoa are still US citizens. They are subject to the 14th amendment, just as they are the first amendment. Are we taking those away, too?! Does this idiot advocate taking away their second amendment rights? No?
