CNN at the site of an Israeli strike in Lebanon that killed 9 people, including 5 children:
"We're told it was a yogurt factory by the neighbors here."
"The children's bodies, we're told, are in pieces and are going to take a while to identify the DNA so that they can actually do a burial."
This is just astonishingly great reporting.
All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them.
And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.
@TheChiefNerd SAM ALTMAN: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
i don’t know how this is supposed to work in terms of intelligence but whatever these guys do is taking stuff that is not theirs to take and then sell it for the highest possible price
electricity water clean air knowledge
you name it
they should be treated like the common thieves they are
it’s crazy. i never war profiteer and by some coincidence i’m never bombed by Iran
42 people. millions of trans people are being tortured by their governments because of 42 people.
Iran is asking for 'reparations' and a guarantee that the US and Israel will not attack in the future

We can afford to house people.
We can afford to feed people.
We can afford to give people healthcare.
The money is there. We just need to put people in office who will do it.
Yup. We came up with a billion dollars a day overnight to bomb Iran for no reason. We could end hunger and homelessness on a whim instead of starting a pointless war on a whim.
target paid a bunch of money to people who claim they speak for everyone but have no actual influence over those of us boycotting to tell everyone the boycott is over?
they will do anything but apologize and fix their policy.
i will continue to boycott.
I can't raise a red enough flag for the way states are attacking trans people in this moment. It is extremely bad, and escalating quickly (and relatively quietly)

Estimated cost of Trump's war: $1 billion PER DAY.
That's enough to pay for
- Medicaid for all 16 million people losing it because of Republican budget cuts
- AND daily food stamps for all 41 million people who rely on them
Imagine if we had a government put people over profit.
we keep operating like trump flipped some kind of switch to make the gop more misogynistic and racist but this path has been clear since the 50s. you dont get here without goldwater, reagan, nixon, the bushes and mccain/romney. trump didnt come out of nowhere. the monster was always there.
They get mad when people on SNAP want to buy soda
Every morning I wake up and read about fucked up shit happening in the US, but I can’t remember the last time the shit was this shockingly fucked up.
This is offensive on par with saying the US did 9/11
Q: You said the war is 'very complete.' But your defense secretary says 'this is just the beginning.' So which is it?
TRUMP: You could say both
This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.
A screenshot of a “Page Not Found” error message from the California State Library. There is a photo of a dog-like creature made from repurposed metal pieces. The caption reads “Oh no! It appears Browser, the California State Library's dog, ate the page you are looking for!”
Did I hallucinate this last night, because I can’t find any further information about Browser the California State Library Dog???
It is absolutely insane that the US appears to have targeted desalination plants first – putting them onto the board. Iran seems to have already retaliated against one in Bahrain. This is one of the most obvious ways this could spiral.
So far in Orlando, there’s no indication ICE has backed off its plans of creating a detention center off of State Road 528.
Part of Trump’s mass appeal (and of why he’s so dangerous) is that he really seems to share Joe Barstool’s worldview that there are no complex problems: Everything has a simple brute solution, which previous leaders were somehow too stupid or weak to deploy.
They added the trans stuff so that they can call Dems who vote against it extreme on trans issues.
They're going to poison a city with 17 million people
That is absolutely what I learned in theater school!!
There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

Helluva way for the president to refer to dead soldiers — soldiers killed in a war he started.

If the pointless and calculated transphobia isn't enough, if the vast harm he's done to unhoused people isn't enough, if his naked ambition without any consistency of values, principles or achievement isn't enough, remember he's also vapid and preening and all about his own ego and we've BTDT.
