Dear Tankies, You had a choice: Biden-Harris: Trying to get a Two-State Solution leading to a Palestinian State on the West Bank. Trump-Bibi: Wiping out all prospects of a Two-State Solution, while Trump and Bibi make some money off the land...sans Palestinians. Guess which plan you chose?

Only fair. Finally! Needs to be universal.
Thank you AI data centers. Why do we have to pay so tech bros can become billionaires?
Big props to whoever came up with the idea of calling Trump “Metamucilini”
They do not plan to ever leave power again.
Citizens United. Presidential immunity.

BREAKING: A federal appeals court has ruled (rightly) that His Magasty's tariffs are illegal. Which is really cool until it gets to the Supreme Corpse, and they gently lick all the pus off his balls.
Maybe we just need divvy up the states and move on... two countries. Those in the north may have to move South

I wonder if drumpf can pardon a country and how much would they have to pay him.
A federal judge in New York on Thursday rejected Saudi Arabia's latest effort to dismiss civil claims that it supported the 9/11 hijackers, finding the claims legally sufficient to proceed to trial.

Republicans in power are examples of the failures of our education system. They have no knowledge of history, science, math, English or social studies. Nor do they have independent thinking nor morality or ethics.
Newsom: Perhaps the president could deploy the National Guard in every corner of Mississippi. Murder rate is out of control there. And the governor may want to make that phone call.
Only 25% of independents are satisfied with the way things are going in the U.S. right now.
A couple of months ago, the Navy dishonored civil rights hero Harvey Milk by removing his name from a ship. Now, the Air Force is dishonoring itself by celebrating a domestic terrorist called Ashli Babbitt.
Very powerful. Thank you.

In talking about MLB HoF voting, Jack Morris said: “What message would we be sending to our kids (if PED users were elected)? Do whatever it takes to win. And that’s not a good message.” Unfortunately, that’s the credo of the president & his minions.
This administration and repubs in congress want to kill us. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
Absolutely true! Don’t waste your time!
I agree. Ashley Babbit was a traitor to our country.

The nra didn’t follow their motto through. “If guns don’t kill people, people kill people” then certain people should not have guns. I don’t expect republicans to give a shit. I hope those who didn’t vote in 2024 are looking in their mirrors and saying, “What the fuck is wrong with me. Never again.”
I hope, though I don’t expect anything to change, that those that vote republican and those that don’t vote pay some fucking attention to the destruction of our country that they are supporting. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

#NIH is hanging by a thread. The #CDC has been decimated. #RFK Jr. and Russell #Vought are psychopaths--I don't say this frivolously--they are cold, calculating, inflicting violence on millions through public policy. It is where we are right now. These men are not normal. 1/
Dr. William Foege, 89, who helped end smallpox in the 1970s, recently wrote: RFK Jr.’s “words can be as lethal as the smallpox virus.” And his actions are more lethal still. He’s waging war on America. That’s an impeachable offense. He must be removed from office. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/h...
You think we weren’t prepared for the last pandemic ….
They can’t remember shit. They think voters have advanced dementia/Alzheimer’s. For example, mace is taking credit for federal funding for south carolina that she voted against. They assume voters have the attention span of toddlers.
As Republicans inevitably blame mental health and not the guns for yet another school shooting - kindly remind them that 205 of them voted AGAINST a bill to expand school-based mental health services.
AMERICA: “It’s a mental health issue.” REST OF THE WORLD: “We have those. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA: “It’s video games.” WORLD: “We have those too. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA B: “It’s cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.” WORLD: “God, you’re stupid.”
Japan Post has ceased all mail delivery to the US for packages valued over $100. To get around this, a Japanese denim company tells me they'll ship components to US customers one-by-one — fabric, buttons, rivets, a sewing needle, and thread. You then assemble the jeans at home like IKEA furniture.
So a man with 34 felony convictions can be president but a black woman who has only been rumored to have made a false statement on a mortgage application can’t be on the federal reserve board.

It looks like Goldfinger decorated the White House. Too bad he missed gilding the orange thing lurking in there. You young folks can google how that turned out for the girl in the movie😉.
🚨 Japan Post just announced they will no longer deliver mail to the United States — joining Germany, Austria, Denmark, Italy, France, and Sweden. The world is literally cutting off America’s mailbox. 📬✂️

To misquote Stalin: one deportee is a tragedy, a million is a statistic.

How counterintuitive it may seem today, they probably saved millions of Japanese lives and also hundreds of thousands of US lives if the US would had to invade the Japanese mainland. The Japanese would had fought to the last bullet and man making the invasion of nazi Germany seem like a cakewalk.
WW2 was caused by negotiations (appeasement) and was ended by surrenders. Just Dance Vance is a pathological liar.
Follow up: So Mr. Vance, sir. If a group of armed men stormed your house and demanded you hand over ownership, how much of your home would you be willing to let them have in order to create peace? The garage? The garage and one powder room? Tell me about the negotiation on that one, please.
As Rick said to Major Strasser I say to 🍄🟫’s threat to send national guard into New York City: “Well there are certain sections of New York, Major, that I wouldn't advise you to try to invade.”
We have been transported to Bizarro World.

Excellent history of what happened to get us to this point. One question: what were dems doing to counter reps and to build infrastructure to succeed? My conclusion given where we are, either nothing or they were ineffectual. Failure! open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...
The reps play the long game while dems enjoy their short-term success while not planning for the future. Reps didn’t rest on their laurels after reagan was elected. They planned & laid the groundwork. open.substack.com/pub/robertre...
If courts are the bulwark protecting our democracy then why haven’t they held anyone in this administration in contempt for not abiding by the courts decisions and jailing them. If any of us pulled this crap we’d be jailed in a nanosecond.

Trump doesn't seem to see that some people are still immune to his threats. Jack White criticized Trump's Oval Office decor. The White House then called White a "washed-up, has-been loser... masquerading as a real artist." And White, undeterred, posted an absolutely blistering takedown in response.
I’m confused. I thought government owning shares in corporations was something that China does so we’re now emulating China in another way besides targeting enemies. Mao would be so proud.

Newsom: We got here because the President is struggling. We got here because the President is one of the most unpopular presidents in U.S. history. We got here because he recognizes that he will lose the election.
Sen. Ossoff: “I think it's embarrassing for the Vice President to be coming to Georgia to sell a policy that is already resulting in harm to hospitals in the state of Georgia.”
🎁 article. So, Alina Habba, is not only a bad lawyer, but I collecting a government paycheck for doing a job she has ZERO legal authority to do. Huh. Just like the cosplay ICE agents and Kristi Noem. Can’t make this stuff up. But could write it as a True Crime novel. wapo.st/4oN31TS
