An infographic titled "president Trump is reshaping the media", reposted from his truth social account.
Donald Trump is now just openly bragging about interfering in the media. He's the president. He's running a truck over the first amendment here.
seems like the clearest purpose of the war is to reopen the thing that closed because of the war?
Every now and then, it's worth reminding yourself that every single crisis of Trump 2.0 -- the economic downturn, the chaos in our cities, the rising health crisis, the foreign wars -- has been a direct result of their own actions.
If they'd done nothing at all, they'd be coasting comfortably.
Abolish ICE and CPB
Not enough attention being paid to how fucking stupid it is to issue ultimatums to the Iranian leadership while simultaneously waging an existential war of extermination against the aforementioned leadership that is completely uncorrelated to whether or not they accept those terms.
It is the Book of Books: wise, hilarious, chilling, exquisite. It haunts.
If man will strike, strike through the mask! How can the prisoner reach outside except by thrusting through the wall? ...Sometimes I think there’s naught beyond. But ’tis enough.
This is exactly how Putin became one of the wealthiest men in the world. He got a cut of every major industry. That's exactly what is going on here.
That.
Is not.
A word.
You asshole.
I had assumed the headline was a joke. But no.

Pete "lethality not legality" Hegseth has been publicly admitting war crimes on the daily. Not so much admitting as proclaiming.
I hope I live to see the tribunal that can hold him to full account, for what he says, for what he's done. He has left an evidence trail thicker than blood.
I have been reading stories about supposed trump voters and podcasters expressing regret since before Charlottesville, stop giving them oxygen you absolutely rubes
Exclusive 1m ago The Trump administration will receive a $10 billion fee for brokering the deal that kept TikTok alive in the U.S.
JFC.
Impeach and remove this lawless man, you fools.
So if anybody -- state attorneys general, Democratic politicians, sentient beings -- doesn't understand why Paramount Skydance's takeover of Warner Bros./CNN is a huge problem, Pete Hegseth is here to explain it to you.
Stop the propaganda. Block this merger.
The most placid and nurturing international environment of your life is in the rear view mirror.
I think about this quote from All The Presidents Men constantly- “The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand”.

Can this be a solution?
Democrats are on the path to winning this year, but it is by default. The party has done a horrific job on politics from almost the minute Trump was defeated in 2020. So, sure, they are winning right now — but it’s because we have no other choices. Not exactly a ringing endorsement.
This is so so upsetting. So Grammerly is violating the memory of bell hooks AND making AI versions of the rest of us before we're even dead. Someone tell me who to sue, not even joking.

Was searching a six-word quote from Lautréamont. They couldn't find it. But instead: offered these suggestions, all of which are *so* related to 19th-century French literature.
This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.
It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.
Poor people lie.
Rich people misspeak.
Important people give the wrong information.
“Why do you want to shit on entire swathes of human endeavor and wreck the planet while you’re doing it? Why are you so determined to be awful and amoral? Everything about your priorities is messed up, and you should all be heartily ashamed, abashed and embarrassed.”
How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.
Surely the President’s task force on antisemitism will be looking into this pronto to figure out how this could have happened.
Yup.
Eric Trump and Donald Trump, Jr. are acquiring a drone company that is seeking to meet Pentagon demand after Trump banned the use of Chinese drones.
We’re barely a week into Trump’s war and already his family has found a way to cash in.
Everything is for sale.
Ha!
Help me here. Is the President of the United States confessing to a war crime on live television. Because it's "more fun"?
International Criminal Court, if you're listening...
