@crazyeddie @CindyWeinstein I also hope Gov. Newsom carries through on his threat and defunds the Federal Government.

@crazyeddie @CindyWeinstein Well, if our side can get it together and muster the will, perhaps we can push Republican / Libertarian / other nutcase right wing voters into carrying through on their views and values, and then the authorities can arrest and charge them with insurrection, with treason, or with whatever crimes they're guilty of, and get them off the streets.

State governors, too, need to stand up to this, and deal with these intruders. They also need to stand up to Washington.

Please stop sharing this picture of JD Vance. The Vice President is not happy that it's going viral. JD's wife told reporters he is so upset that he hasn't left the couch all day. He's so distraught that he won't even let her go in the room.

Bald JD Vance.

A Purple Heart recipient who lived in the US for 48 years had his green card revoked and was told to deport himself within three weeks. He obtained legal permanent residency through a green card. While serving, he was shot in the spine and honorably discharged. As a result of his injuries, he got addicted to drugs and served two and a half years in prison.

"President Trump sucks. I will try to come back after Trump leaves," Park told Newsweek in a statement.

@MicheleV_AK ...aaaaand now, we learn that damage was done, but basically the attack was worthless and in no way, shape, or form "totally obliterated" Iran's facilities or operations. Also, the White House is saying they disagree with the DIA's after-action assessment. Because of course they are.

This Administration is going to get us all killed unless something is done; can we actually wait until 2027 to impeach this motherfucker?

Iran is now — as predictably as the dawn breaks after the night — striking back at us. I don't see their attack on a base we have in Qatar as anything but the first direct action in retaliation for our attack on them.

Trump is going to get us killed. That entire Administration and the MAGopA Party need to go: elected officials, voters, everybody.

@lowqualityfacts A few years ago, a woman was complaining about there being a rainbow produced from the water spray from a fountain at the science park near the Seattle Space Needle, claiming that they were putting chemicals in the water to turn people gay.

@GottaLaff This is essentially what the Democratic party has done in the many parts of the country* where they don't run candidates because "they know they can't win": they cede influence to the other side, and give up any hope of changing things through persuasion.

*According to contesteveryrace.com, the Dems don't run candidates in 50% of races.

Important point from Emptywheel:

First, four different corners of Trump's base opposed this attack before it launched: true opponents of war, Russian useful idiots, unconstrained antisemites, and what few real libertarians are left. Some have come into line, but others have not. That's an opening.

👉🏼2nd, as soon as anyone assumes we can't convert people, they have conceded to fascism, wildly misunderstanding how to fight it.👈🏼

@georgetakei If I were the next person to be elected President and take up residence there, I would want to disinfect, delouse, and ultra deep-clean every single square inch of the property and evac and replace every cubic inch of air in it.

@MicheleV_AK I hope that this is included in future history books as a clear cut example of two opposite approaches to both an identical and also the literally same problem.

Hopefully, evidence that this is the result of bribes to Trump will come out sooner rather than later, because there's no way Trump is "helping" Israel out of the goodness of his heart.

Oh, I still hate the felon, especially now that he has gotten us into a war with Iran, and possibly China and Russia. Imagine if Biden had launched these attacks without congressional approval?? #FelonSucks #WarSucks #MagaSucks

@w7voa I think other governors ought to activate their SNG and militia units preemptively to keep Trump from conscripting them as well.

Заздалегідь вибачаюсь; я написав це за допомогою Google Translate.

Сподіваюся, українці усвідомлюють, що офіційні дії та політичні позиції, зайняті урядом моєї країни, не відображають того, що відчуває щонайменше половина, а можливо, й більше людей тут, включаючи мене. Ми прагнемо того дня, коли ця жахлива війна проти вас і вашої країни закінчиться. Нам сподобався удар безпілотника по Росії кілька тижнів тому, і ми сподіваємося, що ви зможете продовжувати тиск на Москву.

@georgetakei The more important lesson here is we are living in this country with a lot of really horrible human beings, and we shouldn't forgive or forget.
