From my pov as a high school teacher, it is bullshit and hype and that's why it will actually kill us all when epic brainrot and inability to critically think hit at mass

This cartoonishly childish Hegseth persona is an insult to the American military, the American people, the Iranian people, and just about everybody affected by this war. It is absolutely incredible, in the literal sense, that this man is at the hinge of the chain of command in this spiraling war.
You know what isn't affected when you start an all-out war in the Middle East?
The sun. The wind.
Talk about backing the wrong horse.
My very normie family is *livid*
White House tweets out Rubio’s statement seeming to say that basically Bibi maneuvered Trump into attacking Iran.
this isn't a distraction from epstein class pedophilia it's an expression of the epstein class worldview
this must be the most descriptions of blood gushing in any state of the union address by a wide margin
obama made a deal w/ Iran to stop them from getting nukes, but trump backed out of it bcuz he wanted to own wbama
for a year, iran kept following the deal anyway, begging trump to change his mind. iran then began work on nukes again
now trump is threatening to attack iran bcuz it might get nukes
💯
My husband plays and I teach high school and made a roll 20 joke once (thanks to him) and found myself club advisor to the school D&D club over zoom during Covid on the strength of it and it was so charming I'm still the club advisor. #nerdpride

It is 1996. The American president was born in 1946.
It is 2006. The American president was born in 1946.
It is 2016. The American president was born in 1946.
It is 2026. The American president was born in 1946.
I'm not at all sure it's clear he would have been fired. I'm a teacher and district admin puts teachers on paid leave for almost anything these days, mostly to appease the community; vanishingly few ever actually get fired or even face any serious workplace discipline.
The best case scenario is that Trump will waste $38 billion. The more likely outcome is that these will become warehouses of human suffering, and a permanent stain on America's history.
Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social
Legitimately terrifying. I'm in education--imagining the ease of one disgruntled parent or student starting a career ending process with mere hints of sexual impropriety with a student.
Please don’t forget about us and our neighbors!

Internal White House meetings going on, like, "Hopefully the racism will distract from the pedophilia which will distract from the killings which will distract from the pedophilia again which will distract from the economy which will distract from the pedophilia a third time"
Basque punch is a big thing and apparently the unofficial cocktail of Nevada.
So many Basque restaurants in northern Nevada as a downstream effect of this. Elko especially.
Where we are:
1. With the action in GA, the FBI has been mobilized as part of the plan to steal the 2028 election. And the DNI being on the scene is beyond ominous.
2. After bring chaos and illegality and killings to MN, the ICE assault on that city and others will continue with minimal changes.
The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.
The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:
- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE
Abolish ICE. It can’t be reformed.
The BBB was the budget bill, but then there have to be appropriations votes to authorize the actual spending. Appropriations bills can be filibustered.
Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.
