Trump/Hegseth/Rubio killed 40 Venezuelan civilians two days ago. They've been murdering random fishermen for weeks.
Think about that. Really think about that. Think about shaking the hand of someone responsible for that. Think about writing a news article about them and not mentioning that.

excuse me, i was told he was a dove???? and that the bitches i mean female candidates would indiscriminately carpet bomb every other nation on the planet despite all evidence to the contrary????
Trump is the first US president to bomb 7 countries in one year.
Based on verified reports from Al Jazeera, Fox News, Washington Examiner, and CBC, the seven countries targeted by US strikes under Trump in 2025 are: Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Somalia, Syria, Nigeria, and Venezuela.

there seems to be an absolutely CONCERTED effort to not acknowledge that chat AI bots and image generating AI programs are fucking evil. evil in the ways that they told us video games and music with swear words were but these actually ARE.
For all that the media has spent years freaking out about what social media does to our brains, I don’t understand why there appears to be little effort to grapple with the fact that these chatbots are, for some not insignificant portion of the population, literally psychosis machines
He put his complete trust in a chat bot that turned him into a savage murderer.

in a glimmer of light today: living in a place with massive (MASS!!IVE!!!) flocks of wild parrots that are chattily goofy on the best day but become grouchy, verbose clowns when it rains is truly a gift. i am definitely running out of patience for the deluge, but cranky parrots are a blessing.

i have no doubt in my mind this “room” did not have four walls and was open to the audience of the entire dining room. this is theater, with an audience, and cheap theater at that.
They’ve got Twitter up on the big screens in Trump’s Mar-a-Lago makeshift “situation room.”

thinking about how, in the Russian history elective I took in HS, every time a tsar was facing domestic weakness the teacher would turn to the assembled students and ask "so what is it time for?" and we would chant "stunning territorial annexation!" and she would respond "well, DUH, girls"

None of this is true.
Trump: "We saved Los Angeles early on, where the head of the police department made a statement that if the federal govt didn't come in, we would've lost Los Angeles. That's after the fires. That's when they had the riots. We did a great job. Got no credit for it whatsoever. It doesn't matter."

the fact that they spent years de-regulating online gambling so they can make money off acts of international terrorism is both brilliant and pettily, venially stupid
A side story is there’s a ton of insider trading on these prediction markets. New accounts making hundreds of thousands on their first and only trade, that maduro would be ousted. Seems like insider trading is legal if not encouraged on these platforms

By retreating only to "kitchen table issues" to avoid being labeled "woke," Democratic leaders have left an open goal for the GOP. When you treat the harassment of vulnerable communities as a "distraction" rather than a crisis, you're not avoiding a fight: you're just forfeiting it.
