It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.
i’d like for some people to grapple with the fact that “the most important election of our lifetime,” if you actually mean it, implies that the governance period following it is also the most important governance period of our lifetime, and adjust their demands/expectations/behaviors accordingly
"But unlike [Renee Good and Alex Pretti], Martinez was not protesting - he was driving by the scene of a road accident where ICE officers were helping to direct traffic."
If you're scared of protesting or a general strike because you could lose your job, healthcare, and housing, or even go to jail, now you understand why the US has no universal healthcare or housing and no guaranteed parental leave, but DOES have the largest prison and police system on planet Earth.
Several people who cast a single mistaken ballot were sent to prison for years. A Georgia Republican official who voted illegally nine times? Just a $5,000 fine. Apparently “election integrity” is a lot more forgiving when the offender has the right party affiliation.
NTSB is the last exemplar of independent professionalism in federal government, because we used to think stopping plane crashes was a goal beyond partisanship
These victims shot by ICE were helpers....
There is no legitimate argument for not abolishing ICE and prosecuting everyone involved like a criminal gang.
NYT report confirms that US Strikes killed 170+ schoolchildren in Iran
Shame on all the cruel and calloused people in my comments lying that it was Iran who bombed its own children.
170 Iranian schoolgirls and children dead. Massacred in the most horrific manner imaginable. Committed by the United States and Israel. Paid for by US tax dollars.
This is a war crime.
Those four Democrats are:
Henry Cuellar (TX)
Jared Golden (ME)
Greg Landsman (OH)
Juan Vargas (CA)
What are the chances that the intelligence about the US military that Russia is providing to Iran was initially provided to Russia by its obedient lapdog, Donald J. Trump?

I don’t remember Trump campaigning on Americans needing to make financial sacrifices for foreign wars. bsky.app/profile/atru...
the US stole Venezuela's oil and instead of putting the money from the sale of that oil into the treasury, Trump put it into an offshore account in his name. he is absolutely stealing money from the country.
Donald Trump loudly and publicly demanding to be allowed to pick the next leader of Iran is so so so insanely stupid and humiliating

👉27 Republican AGs pushed to delete the climate chapter in a scientific reference manual for judges.
👉16 Republican AGs urged the DOJ to “recommend legislation” to stop climate lawsuits.
What do these Attorneys General have in common? They're all members of RAGA, a group that's funded by Big Oil.
“It’s incredibly sadistic to destroy a solution that helps shield #endangered #whales from being killed by speeding ships. Trump officials are attacking one of the only protections North Atlantic right whales have against extinction,” said Rachel Rilee, oceans policy specialist at the Center.

The numbers are staggering:
Rent is now unaffordable for a record *half* of U.S. renters.
Some 30 million jobs pay less than $15 an hour. The average wage needed to afford a one-bedroom apartment has climbed to $28.17 — nearly four times the federal minimum wage, which hasn't gone up in 16 years.
It’s so American to be like you should return home via your bootstraps

SCOOP: An internal DHS document obtained by 404 Media shows for the first time CBP used location data sourced from the online advertising industry to track phone locations.
This surveillance can happen through all sorts of apps, such as video games, news apps, weather trackers, and dating apps.
The masks are off. This is a doomsday cult. They WANT Armageddon. They haven’t even been that quiet about it.
Please don’t forget to vote today! Texas, Arkansas, and North Carolina are kicking off the 2026 midterm cycle with their primary elections.
Just ban this shit already.
Privatization yet again proves its foundational principle — adding a profit motive cannot provide better service for less money because the profit will eat up more than any potential efficiencies. Privatization ALWAYS results in less & worse service for massively higher costs.
Destroying the gambling industry is actually the fastest path towards fixing media
