There are specific reasons Trumpists want war on Venezuela, but there‘s a generic one: they crave power to make war on anyone, any time, for completely fabricated reasons, and then to use the guise of war to increase violence and repression everywhere, including home.

They are lawless bestial scum.

There are a multitude of reasons for 4,000 dollar gold, but chief among them has to be the leader of the country with the current reserve currency doing things like:

If pundits would like to talk about violence, a terrorist recently shot up the CDC and another assassinated Democratic officials in Minnesota but they sort of let both stories disappear

Not as threatening as motorbikes in DC I know but maybe we could circle back?

The wide shots of the Oval Office are so much worse than the usual background shots. An assault on the eyes from every direction. Tacky, weird, and relentless.
Karl: The transformation has been gradual and unmistakable.

By February, some golden urns on the mantle.

April, gold adornments appear on the walls.

By July, it's gold everywhere.

Just this week more scaffolding popped up, even more new gold trim appeared.

New: Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast will shutter its two Louisiana clinics and exit the state.

The clinics have never provided abortions—the state wouldn't grant licenses—and affiliate's Texas clinics haven't offered abortion since 2022, so "defund" bill doesn't affect PPGC. @nolanews.bsky.social

What the fuck are we doing here? ai fabricated videos of congress on the news? This is not the Paul Verhoeven movie I want to be in, I want a do-over.
News anchors reposting AI generated speeches of congress members that have clear as day watermarks that say "made with AI" and treating them as real

I’ve officially made my writing debut over on @clashingsabers.bsky.social!

Andor’s characters are (almost all) humans. Ghorman was a massacre of humans. So what is #Andor saying about whose suffering we empathize with…and whose we don’t?

Andor is a human story: it’s about love and loss and rage and resistance and the price we pay to make a better world, one that we ourselves may never get to inhabit. It’s also a human story. There …

All reporting suggests that she is not a refugee by any definition of the term, yet she is being flown here at taxpayer expense and handed a path to citizenship while the real refugee program remains dead.

I’ve got nothing against her, but I do have something against the president doing this.

NEWS: U.S. and China agree to a 90-day pause on new tariffs after shipping to U.S. ports plummeted.

Tariffs on Chinese imports will be cut from 145% to 30%. Tariffs on U.S. imports will be cut from 125% to 10%.

If tariffs should result in massive job growth and make the U.S. rich, why lower them?

Last week, three federal judges blasted the Alabama state legislature for “a deliberate decision to double down on the dilution of Black Alabamians’ votes.” Do the math. 60 years after the voting rights act. 160 years after the 13 and 14 amendments. Why? How much longer? #VRA @lwvus.bsky.social
