Rubio calling the intelligence “irrelevant” is one for the history books

Trump undermines Watergate laws in massive shift of ethics system

Keep 'em coming

"Guts"... 👍🏼

Via Mark Joseph Stern:

Damn—the Senate parliamentarian has ruled that a LOT of the reconciliation bill requires 60 votes to pass, including a massive assault on federal regulations and several heinous attacks on civil service protections. This effectively guts a big chunk of the bill.

⚠️Ukrainian military warns that recent Shahed drones attacking Kyiv were equipped with warheads containing a viscous flammable liquid. These enhanced drones pose a serious fire risk.

FT - Germany and Italy are facing calls to move their gold out of New York following President Trump’s repeated attacks on the US Federal Reserve and increasing geopolitical turbulence. https://www.ft.com/content/e39390cc-ea02-4197-843a-1e4c242422cc

A man with a severe speech disability has been able to speak expressively using a brain implant that translates neural activity into words almost instantly. The device, implanted in the motor cortex, uses a synthetic voice to speak words within 10 milliseconds of detecting intention - a significant improvement over earlier models which took at least three seconds. The implant also conveys intonation, lets the user emphasise words, and hum and sing.

“If we elect Trump, we will be at war within 6 months.” - Kamala Harris

Saying it louder: I believe silliness is really important for mental health. Thinking up jokes or making silly memes about a topic can make it easier to process (I've never met a paramedic who didn't have a really dark sense of humour), and - equally importantly - sharing them keeps a topic in the collective consciousness. Be silly. :)

Republican Bill Would Legalize DOGE and Let Trump Dismantle Everything

@thetnholler.bsky.social @renewedresistance Does "back then" include 2016-2020 when the president in those years disentangled us from our "nuclear deal" with Iran? You know, the deal that was working just fine. #Iran #disarmament #JDVance #McFaul

Okay kids, huddle round it's time for another Resistance Storytime with Mama Lana.

If we're throwing glitter at ICE agents - which is a 11 out of 10 idea by the way - you don't want to get the normal everyday glitter.

You want the CRAFT glitter that comes in those little salt shaker type cannisters. The stuff they market for scrapbooking. The cheaper the better. That shit does. not. come. out. It not only gets into your clothes, it gets into your fucking PORES.

And you don't want to just chuck it at people in a crowd. No no no. What you want to do is go get a cheap cordless leaf blower. Then, turn on the blower, aim it at ICE, and throw handfuls of glitter into the back air intake fan.

OR, if you happen to be near one of their unmarked kidnapping cars, toss a few handfuls down in the vehicle's air intake vent. You know, that little groove right under the windshield wipers that always gets clogged with leaves in autumn? Then, when the fascist goons get in their car, thinking they're safe, take off their masks, and turn on the A/C... instant glitter cropdusting.

This has been another Resistance Storytime. Happy scrapbooking!

Frankly, if the rapture happened today I’d be just fine with being left behind. I don’t want to spend a single second more with the wackjob religious fanatics that make life miserable for everyone

ICE thug pulled his gun on someone taking a photo of his license plate. KTLA got the footage.

Rubio has just delivered the soundbite of the year.

Host: Are you saying the US did not see intelligence that the Supreme Leader had ordered weaponization?

Rubio: That’s irrelevant

Host: No, that’s a key point

Rubio: No it’s not… Forget about intelligence

When I moved to #NorthernOntario, I met a resident who had been a German soldier during WWII. He had been captured, and ended up in a prisoner of war camp in Northern Ontario, clearing brush and clearing roads. After the war, he returned home, married his fiancé, and then returned to #Canada with her, to become a hardworking #Canadian citizen and raise their Canadian family. Apparently, he was not the only one to do this.

Thinking back on it now, I am hard-pressed to think of another country, other than #Canada, where prisoners of war decide to return to the country that held them captive, and become citizens. If there are other countries where this happened, it would be interesting to hear about them. In the meantime, #ElbowsUp. 🇨🇦 #CanadianHistory #NorthernOntarioHistory

A mad king’s pointless war is where Donald Trump was always heading

"I do believe my father was racially profiled—they didn’t ask him anything," his son said. "They just started chasing him, and he ran because he was scared. He didn’t know who was after him."

ICE is putting its own agents and the lives of Americans in danger with their cowardly, overly aggressive jackboot thuggery. If we are ever lucky enough to have a liberal president again, their first action must be to disband ICE and investigate them for human rights violations.

These Nazis are sick like Dr. Mengele, Kansas MAGA republican chomos overrode the Democrat governors veto, allowing a new law for forced genital inspections of children to make sure they are not transgender. #MAGARepublicanPedos
