The IRS just lifted a decades-long ban on clergy endorsing political candidates.
But most Americans don't want to hear endorsements from the pulpit, according to surveys

A stunning scoop from @mariasacchetti.bsky.social: Despite pledging to target criminals, the Trump administration has freed a three-time felon from prison in exchange for his testimony against Abrego, a wrongly deported man who has not been convicted of a crime www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
Star witness against Kilmar Abrego García was due to be deported. Now he’s being freed.
Jose Ramon Hernandez Reyes is a three-time felon released early from federal prison to a halfway house in exchange for testifying against Kilmar Abrego García.

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa.

Roving gangs of masked men grab human beings off the street.
They send them without due process to prisons in countries they’re not even from where they are then sold into slavery.

I’m predicting it now, AI is going to kill the internet.
Think of how unusable old websites are covered in scam pop ups, where the function is broken under the sagging weight of the slop and the internet at large will be the same. Useful knowledge, news, etc. will be buried by slop to its demise.

I think that if you were not familiar with the supposed political values of the Democratic Party, its performance over the last five months would lead you to conclude that they are primarily a pro-genocide party with center right economics and a fierce commitment to loyalty and gate keeping.

At least the Bush/Cheney warmongers went to Congress for authorization. Trump bombing Iran without congressional approval is illegal. Full stop.
But he’s never been held accountable for any of the illegal things he’s done in his life so why not drag us all down with him

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.
