One important reason to create a new federal government rather than tinker with this broken one is that no other country will ever trust the US without a clean break from the pariah that we have become.
I have seen conflicting reports. Is Russia helping Iran target US soldiers? Or is Russia paying bounties to Iran for killing US soldiers like they did in Trump's first term?
Did Trump allow Russia to sell oil last week so Russia would have the money to pay bounties?
Thanks to my kid, I know the term speedrunning. As in, Trump and his crew are currently speedrunning the Nazi Germany DLC. Can we skip ahead to the part where Nazi Germany is defeated and the remaining leadership is put on trial and locked up?
Today the United States wasted another #1B on an illegal war in Iran, money that could have been spent on funding health care or providing SNAP benefits or cancer research or academic scholarships for minorities. I could go on and on but I think you get my point. #endtheiranwarnow
We started with restrain ICE. Then reform ICE, then landed squarely on abolish ICE.
But I’ve moved on to prosecute ICE y’all. Every last one even if it takes 20 years of trials.
Tonight we eat Noementaschen.
Again: Not hyperbole, misinterpretation, or a joke that Christian Dominionism is a strain of apocalyptic accelerationism which VERY LITERALLY SEEKS to hasten their vision of the Biblical end of the world, & the people who believe this have VERY CAREFULLY worked their way into the halls of U.S. power
You go! (but slowly and carefully)
world-altering decisions are being made by a cabal of gambling addicts hell bent on self enrichment no matter the cost to humanity, we should look into that.
Amen.
Some of the spam I receive claims to be hackers who are in my computer/phone. Hackers, if you want me to believe your credentials, get rid of all my other spam so you're not lost in the noise. Then we can talk.
ok, that's brilliant.
The drunk uncle theory.
You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there
Comments are worth reading.
This ad should concern Susan Collins.
"Moderna's CEO announced the company will no longer invest in new Phase 3 vaccine trials for infectious diseases: 'You cannot make a return on investment if you don't have access to the U.S. market. Vaccines for Epstein-Barr virus, herpes, and shingles have been shelved.” 9:12 AM Feb 12, 2026 604.8K Views
In terms of what cures are being lost:
- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease
"Here, finally, is a worthy use of the NIMBY impulse that is so easy to activate for worse reasons." Friends, you can use that. I highly recommend going full Karen for the right reasons.
The USA now has CONCENTRATION CAMPS
The USA is torturing, starving, and killing adults and CHILDREN in these CONCENTRATION CAMPS
Sick
Disgusting
Abhorrent
WHAT HAPPENED TO NEVER AGAIN
Trump and RFK Jr are working to destroy Moderna, destroy vaccines, and put us all at more risk.

We were really excited at the end of the Estonia match.
With all respect, Rabbi, is dehumanizing people morally wrong? Or is the problem with it accuracy?
Clergy friends, your moral voice matters so, so SO much in this moment.
In the public square.
Pushing your electeds.
With congregants.
At actions.
Teaching the truths of your tradition & using the authority of your office.
& calling in all that damn social capital.
What ELSE is it FOR
In a democracy, we are supposed to feel like we have control over our lives because the people control the government.
But in the U.S., people feel like our lives are out of control because the people don’t control the federal government.
I want to laugh at it but sadly it’s true.
@deardara.bsky.social is awfully good.

Open letter to our Senators:
Gentlemen, Ladies, we don't really care about ICE not getting even more funding. We don't care about more "training" and more rules they won't follow.
We want ICE de-funded. Dismantled. Gone. Driven out of our cities.
Doing endless Google searches on how to erase bodycam footage.
Realizing that you'll never be able to admit that this is your job at your next high school reunion, and trying to figure out what lie to tell instead.
Taking a 9-hour shower that still isn't enough to wash off the stench of tear gas and regret.
