Another refugee from the blue bird site. Volunteer firefighter/paramedic, disabled vet, crippled old man who doesn’t respect his body’s limitations. Yet another insufferable twit who insists on being a leftist rather than a liberal. PDX, queer, burner.

So, like, is there a GoFundMe, or …?

What we know about the strike on a school in Iran as the death toll rises Iranian authorities said at least 168 people, many of them children, were killed in the strike on Shajareh Tayyebeh elementary school in Minab.

@wyden.senate.gov Senator, on the off-chance this report is accurate - I want to point out that follow-up strikes on destroyed facilities have only one purpose: to kill firefighters, paramedics, and other rescue workers.

The Trump Administration's choice to end their "Shield for the Americas" summit with the Monty Python Flying Circus theme march is inspired. I take back everything bad I ever said about the regime

(That ~2 second dropped signal is, I assume, some AV guy cackling as he zooms in on Kristi Noem)

Yep, we are still a thing. We don’t do much though, and that’s probably for the best.

With Noem out at DHS, who gets to fly around in her flying fuck palace? I can’t see Markeayne Billybob Jimericsteve Mullin making use of it. He seems … easily-confused.

Problem is, many of the things they do are illegal, but those laws don’t often say “if you do this, you are guilty of the crime of ____, which carries the punishment of ____.”

Putting them on trial but failing to convict & sentence them would be far worse than just letting the bastards walk.

Ok, so we are at war with Iran, we currently hold the leader of Venezuela as a sorta-POW and haven’t likely stopped bombing their civilian boats, and we are bombing random spots in Ecuador now too, because of drugs or something.

I fucking told you so.

Goddamn morons.

My country is full of morons.

Oh, I just remembered I'm a member of the draft board.

Honestly, it's kinda easy to forget some times.

But ... ya know ... events of the last 48 hours kinda reminded me.

I wonder if I'm supposed to catch up on any training stuff...

If you were born before 1980, turn the sound up for this.

Retired fire captain stopped me in the hall and asked if I was ok and wanted to talk.

Apparently, my limp is extra-obvious today.

The guy that thinks he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize has now started his second unauthorized war in the last six months.

The medal was awarded for actions taken on Jan 03. The award was given on Feb 24.

I can find no mention of the name “Slover” in any of the bills that were passed between those two dates.

It often takes decades, not weeks, but it IS possible to do it instantly - but only Congress can actually do it

I want to know what the scenarios are, because there are very, very legitimate cases to deploy such weapons.

Like, on behalf of Ukraine, four years ago.

Note that the godless communists stopped to render medical aid to the shipwreck survivors after the gunfight.

The US Navy fails to live up to the standards of Cuban coastal patrol.

Newsom is all over my socials, and every time I see legacy media talk about the 2028 race at all, he’s the first candidate they mention (often the only candidate).

And he’s a semi-sentient pile of fecal matter that has started to dry out in the sun and develop a chalky white crust.

If you miss the late, great, Hunter S. Thompson - well, there’s like three other people I can recommend, but only one of them dropped an article today, so here ya go:

Don’t repeat the mistake of 2016. Don’t nominate a candidate that is abhorrent to a significant portion of your allies. Don’t nominate a guaranteed loser.

Democrats have MANY options this cycle. Most just cause a bit of grumbling at worst - but not him.

Gavin Newsom: Hell No.

Do not nominate Newsom.

He’s currently the only candidate capable of losing to a generic republican, because of his loathsome treatment of the poor, his fascist buddies, his dining out during a lockdown he imposed, his anti-trans bigotry, his genocide support, and his stupid fucking hair.

Democrats are always told, clearly and in no uncertain terms, who the Hell No candidates are, well in advance.

Gavin Newsom is a Hell No. Nothing can be done to fix this - he’s already clearly a bridge too far. His flirting with fascists won’t win him ANY right-wing votes to make up for that.
