i genuinely believe that if you surveyed the vast majority of evangelical leaders (along with the evangelical Reformed culture warriors like Hegseth), you would get a wildly heretical theology of God

Damn, it looks just like the photos of the disappeared that were put up by relatives in the South American dictatorships

It's becoming clear that Trump's decision-making process, whether on bombing Iran or imposing the ceasefire, was not in any way fact-based. It was all vibes.

Nor is his insistence on what the US strike accomplished, materially and politically, based on reality.

Why am I so unimpressed by these strikes? Israel and the US have failed to target significant elements of Iran's nuclear materials and production infrastructure. RISING LION and MIDNIGHT HAMMER are tactically brilliant, but may turn out to be strategic failures. 🧵 1/17

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Rarely have I seen more compelling evidence that Trump himself is absolutely out to lunch and the actual decisions are being made by a Principals Committee Group Chat whose membership all alone could invoke the 25th Amendment if they decided to.

I cannot emphasize enough that drawing huge conclusions from markets that are gyrating through volatility as is currently the case may as well be reading auguries from the guts of some unfortunate chicken.

Term 2 Trump foreign policy - from tariffs to NATO to soft power to China and Russia - is an epic mess. One reason seems to be that the administration is operating with two conflicting, equally flawed, views of the world and the US's place in it. 🧵

half of the far-right parties in the EU are backed or supported in one way or another by the Kremlin, it's an open-secret but the center just goes "ahh geez, oh man, guess we gotta beat them at the ballot box" rather than treating this like the attack on their sovereignty that it is

I have a solution to this issue of national security!

i want to make a t shirt out of “everything looks like a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works”

Die Union muss bei CSDs, Gedenkveranstaltungen, überhaupt allem, was mit Kultur etc zu tun hat, künftig konsequent ausgeladen werden. Sie hat heute demonstriert, dass sie für ein groteskes Wahlkampfmanöver uns alle vor den Bus zu werfen bereit ist. Es gibt mit der Union nichts mehr zu besprechen.

Vor 30 Jahren "reformierten" CDU, CSU und FDP Post & Bahn.
Heute: Deutschlands Internet ist Schlusslicht, Briefe kommen unzuverlässig, Pakete nur dank Ausbeutung, Postbank ist Geschichte und die Bahn steht vor dem Kollaps.
Aber hej, die Parteien der "Wirtschaftskompetenz". :)

Weil mich mittlerweile einige gefragt haben, was für den Sonntag bei der Demo #DemokratieVereint stärken und schützen - Gegen faschistische Deportationspläne in Freiburg geplant ist, habe ich hier die wesentlichen Punkte aufgeschrieben. Bitte an alle Demokrat*innen (aus dem Raum FR) streuen. Danke!🫶🏻
