People keep saying I'm Will Stancil's alt, and honestly I'm considering trying to subtly feed that because I'm reasonably sure they'll actually believe it, and I think it'd be very funny for Stancil to have to publicly go "no I don't know nor am I my own cheap knockoff account"

not sure I even need to say this, but Trump threatening the lives of Ds in Congress is in itself an impeachable offense for which he should be removed.

“do we protect, include, and tolerate people from all backgrounds” is the beating heart and solemn promise of liberalism and I’m convinced people who trivialize it have not reflected on a world without it

I hate this sort of meme.

“The only difference between the parties is whether the power to destroy human civilization rests in the hands of leaders who think gays, women, and black people should have their rights acknowledged.”

Even if true, how is Rainbow B-52 not infinitely preferable?

The president is clearly unwell. As an American, I find it hard to believe that our president speaks in this way.

When the top JAG at Southern Command told the Pentagon that their plans to blow up fishing boats based on suspicions that they might have drugs in the cargo hold was certainly illegal, Hegseth simply ignored him, while others told him his career was over. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

You’ll see a lot of lost cause shit after Trump goes away. “Well you know that wasn’t all bad” yes it was
i have noticed that trumpers have shut the fuck up for the most part, just like these same people did when bush's approval went to the 20s. it was awesome, because you knew they didn't really believe he was wrong and were so mad all the mud-brained moderates turned on them
I don’t know if this reflects what others have seen in rural areas, but it has been a noticeable glimmer to me the last couple of times I was really out in the sticks.

What if the political ideology of the people in charge of the armed forces impacts who gets bombed? Does anyone think Kamala Harris would declare war on South American fishermen? Could perhaps having people who think brown people are subhuman in charge of our military impacted matters?
What about the rights of LGBT people getting bombed?

"Dems should prevent this". They can't. This is consequences. People had a tantrum and broke plates. You aren't putting the plates back together. It's all just consequences.

This isn't realism, it's do-nothing-ism. The point here isn't just outlining (with real inflation on some points) all the various hurdles. It's to castigate people for bothering to make an issue of it at all. Go crawl under a rock and shut up, nothing matters. It's not savvy, it's disgusting.

These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws.

Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired.

They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

It’s one of the war’s most overlooked dynamics: Russia and Ukraine are running two of the century’s fiercest strategic bombing campaigns at once. But do drones offer a new form of strategic bombing, or are they still trapped in the same dilemmas that stumped the bomber mafia? My latest⬇️

Heartbreaking: the person you campaigned and championed to get elected does exactly what he said he would do
Joe Rogan and Theo Von slam DHS for using Von's image in a video promoting deportation:

"I was like, oh my God, what the fuck are they doing? That's not how you envision the government."

"They were making, like, deportation hype videos with trap beats and shit. What are we doing? It's idiocracy."

It’s a blessing to Constitutional Democracy that they’re so impossibly stupid.
NEWS: During a hearing in federal court in VA, prosecutors confirmed that the operative indictment in the case against James Comey was never shown to or voted on by the entire grand jury before it was presented in open court.

Defense counsel argued that’s a complete bar to further prosecution

one thing i think is true is that republicans assumed that democrats would not respond in kind and that the forceful pushback spooked them (a lesson to learn here, perhaps)

*Court strikes down Texas GOP gerrymander
*Indiana GOP lacks votes to redraw map
*Big Dem win in Virginia could give Ds more seats
