So, I guess we know now how the US’ eventual withdrawal from the United Nations began…
President Trump is pissed about the escalator, teleprompter, and audio yesterday at the United Nations.

He says the US Secret Service is investigating.

We would also wish that the drone attack on Poland was a mistake. But it wasn’t. And we know it.

The reaction to Kirk’s murder on the right is a reminder that Republicans are the most bad faith people on the face of the planet.

Decided to do a calmer video today about the idea of the commons, which often interconnects with basic income.

Grateful @davidgilbert.bsky.social covered this.

I NEVER celebrated anyone’s murder.

I said I was terrified the far-right would use this as an excuse to retaliate, and they’re proving me right with every post.

These guys are out for blood. They don’t care whose.

This is really bad.

"Predictions" of civil war in the US are attempts to foment it.

Right wingers are really not prepared for an era where their own normalization of gun culture and gun violence might be used against them and not just the people they hate

Do I think Russia could have just really targeted a Polish city? Or do I think it’s just some lost drones that were supposed to attack Ukraine ? Or do I think it’s just Russia testing how much they can get away with until NATO reacts ?

Yes.

I loved @vermontgmg.bsky.social's latest piece so much that I asked if I could republish it on The Handbasket and he so generously said yes.

If you haven't read it yet, please do. It's essential:

I'm going to publish the entirety of an exchange I just had with the press office of the DOJ. I want you to see how they are talking about truth.

Trump in April on trade deals: I'm telling you, these countries are calling us up kissing my ass. They are dying to make a deal. 'Please, please sir, make a deal. I'll do anything sir!'

Trump Treasury Secretary Bessent today on why there are no deals: Many of these countries never even contacted us

It's so weird how everyone who says they're "politically homeless" is a far right winger who lives in NY or CA and still wants to get invited to parties

Alrighty folks.

Government ain't gonna do it.

Philanthropy won't either.

This can't wait any longer.

Time to throw down and build our own UBI.

So, the USSC once again sides with Тяцмр. The GOP seems totally unable to see that these rulings could one day be used against them under a Democrat presidency, or perhaps they're not at all worried about the possibility of a Democrat presidency again?

Let artists make mistakes
Let artists make derivative work
Let artists "discover" the same things that made other artists great
Let artists fail
Let artists create without the pressure of trying to survive off their art
Let artists have UBI

On the left:

June 12, Judge Breyer writing that THE test for whether the US Marines/Guard violate Posse Comitatus will be whether they've engaged in "detaining" civilians.

On the right:

June 13: See for yourself.

Note: The DoD has confirmed the detention of civilian to Reuters.

Quietly and without fanfare, while I was teaching, today became my favourite day of the Тяцмр Presidency so far. #Musk #Trump

The dumbest people; the absolutely stupidest people.
Every book published in the United States is sent to the Library of Congress. Also, if you are under 16 you cannot use the reading room or order books.
Reporter: The president fired the Librarian of Congress. Why? 

Leavitt: There were quite concerning things she had done at the Library of Congress in the pursuit of DEI and putting inappropriate books in the library for children.
