Obviously they're just partisan hacks trying to run out the clock for their guy, but we should pretend they're serious and have their offices toddler-proofed as if they're *actually* this stupid.

Sadly, too many Americans love this strongman.
This should be the story tomorrow, and every day:
The leader of one of America’s two major political parties has just signaled to the Kremlin that if elected, he would not only refuse to defend Europe in World War III, but he would gladly support Vladimir Putin.

Back in 2018, MAGA street fighters in Portland started showing up at events wearing “Pinochet did nothing wrong” t-shirts with positive references to helicopter rides and I thought “wow, they’re really out there.” Now sitting members of Congress are going there.
It’s been quite a day for Mike Collins. After calling for the deportation of a US citizen colleague in the House, he then violated Twitter rules by posting this tweet below.

The thing about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce is that last week the NSA confirmed to me that the agency is buying up Americans' internet browsing data from shady data brokers without a warrant.
N.S.A. Buys Americans’ Internet Data Without Warrants, Letter Says
The disclosure comes amid congressional scrutiny and a Federal Trade Commission crackdown on commercial data brokers.

BlueSky isn't exactly full of MAGA posters, but the Trump rebrand as "historic peacemaker" has always skipped over the minor detail that he blew up the Iran deal.
Re-defining "peace in the Middle East" as getting Bahrain to trade with Israel... idk man Iran seems more important

It’s almost like the run-up to war in Iraq again, except instead of Bush hawks intentionally taking us to war on false pretenses, Biden hawks are potentially getting us into an accidental war based on flawed principles. presswatchers.org/2024/02/is-t...

Arab Citizens Are Livid Over Gaza. The US Ignores Them at Its Peril.
Ordinary people across the Middle East are being crystal clear about the depth of their opposition to the White House’s Israel policy—and that of their own governments.

It’s already too late, but why don’t we just call the controlled demolition of civilian homes, schools, mosques, and universities what they are: war crimes. Just admit that IHL is in tatters and the US is complicit. The charade is beyond offensive. It is criminal, and it will never be forgotten.
Israel’s Controlled Demolitions Are Razing Neighborhoods in Gaza
In addition to its aerial bombardment, Israeli ground forces have carried out a wave of large-scale detonations, destroying residential homes, schools and mosques across the strip.

No one could possibly have predicted that the solution to the teacher shortage - like all the other wOrKeR sHoRtAgEs - is to…raise wages
Unions are good and we should pay teachers more.
Devastating.
Just horrifying to see how organized labor is changing lives.
Something must be done.

Liberal Zionism in America is in *deep* denial about what Zionism is.
This is not a new insight, but it has been exponentially amplified in light of the Gaza war.
