I grew up in a small town believing the lore that the big cities are dangerous. Now that I've lived in a few I realize we are generally safer with more people around us

it’s unreal how these grown-ass men had no problem destroying untold lives with chatGPT but go crying to a judge when people make fun of them online

So that's why these odd birthdays show up on my calendar instead of the important ones!

Horrible

“This trial in Nuremberg is causing me reputational damage.”

Here’s why MAGA is attacking our movement:

There’s a new war in the Middle East.
There’s a cost of living crisis.
There’s a secret pedophile ring.

They're hoping Americans care more about culture wars than actual wars. More about pronouns than prices.

We're not falling for it.

I got to hear Colom speak a few months ago. He's impressive.

Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year.

Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants.

They are good for society and the economy.

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is.

People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

BREAKING: The world's billionaires now hold over $20 TRILLION of wealth.

That's up $4 trillion over just the last year.

"Never before have billionaires so thoroughly dominated the world, driving politics, policies, equity markets and AI hysteria." —Forbes

“when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money”

And by “we,” Donald means ExxonMobil, and by “make a lot of money,” he means off of you.

Not air attacks but I believe we have seen the same recently with attacks on the American civilian population

Gen. Grynkewich: "What I've observed over the course of studying air power in history is that any time you attack a civilian population, you usually end up finding that it just hardens their resolve."

Lawyer: You don't regret that people might have lost income?

Cavanaugh (DOGE): No, I think it was more important to reduce the federal deficit from two trillion dollars to close to zero.

Lawyer: Did you reduce the federal deficit?

Cavanaugh: No, we didn't.

Republicans will pass laws to keep you from voting rather than giving you a reason to vote for them…

WASHINGTON: Despite republicans’ best efforts, including a 24 hour filibuster-style debate — “the state house approved a levy on incomes over $1 million… pays for free breakfast & lunch for k-12 students…”

Ossoff: "The president appears increasingly to have lost touch with reality. That is deeply concerning when you have a a cabinet much more concerned with winning his favor than giving good advice & the nation now plunged into war. It speaks to the necessity of winning these midterms in a landslide."

The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet — and watching to see who refuses to wear them.

It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now — never be the first to stop clapping.

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.

Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.

The 25th is never happening.

Trump’s military excursion, into an abyss The evident fact is that the president is nuts.

New in PN: Trump’s military excursion, into an abyss

"The evident fact is that the president is completely nuts, and that he’s 'governing' the country — and has now taken the US to war — based on his impulses alone, without even the pretense of a strategy or goal."

The U.S. Built a Blueprint to Avoid Civilian War Casualties. Trump Officials Scrapped It. The Pentagon dismantled its civilian protection mission as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made “lethality” a top priority and the Trump administration reorganized national security around two principl...

Here’s the reason the United States bombed the Children’s school in Iran.

And yes, it’s Trumps fault.

There has got to be a way to try the people in this administration for war crimes. I realize we do not participate in the ICC, but do you think there is another way?

The Desire for Terror And the defense of democracy

A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States, thereby justifying the need to “federalize” elections. We must anticipate it, with sadness and resolution, and not be surprised, if it happens.

He’s going to declare victory and leave.

This is why the US engaging in a regime change operation is almost always a bad idea, but particularly under this administration.

Taking his ball and going home now will create another insurgency in the Middle East.

we remain firmly on track for 'republican president leaves the country an omnishambles, next democratic president is punished for not cleaning it up fast enough'

Zelensky to Trump in August: We have developed amazing, inexpensive drone interceptors that shoot down Iranian Shaheds that we can provide you in case you are ever in another conflict with Iran.

Trump: No we’re good. We’re the US - you have nothing we need. You have no cards.

Imagine the progress could be making as a country if we didn’t have to spend so much time, energy, and resources fighting Trump’s wars and defending our freedom from his power grabs.

Rick Scott looks rattled

Not to mention people who understand the real world outside of our borders
