Yeah, like even if they did manage to break away they would constantly be getting little raiding parties and all sorts of harassment from the old government and continually have to waste all sorts of resources on defending themselves. If it gets to the point where open armed conflict with the US government seems like a good idea you might as well skip past secession to overthrow.

Oof, telling everyone your strike package is a massive ordnance penetrator is just so insecure

There is definitely no way the US military would manufacture and present information in a particular way to further their own goals, they do not “say” things and they certainly never make “claims,” they only “reveal” the truth to us

“Oh who cares what the protesters are whining about when the other guy is clearly a racist madman? These college kids make a lot of noise, but when it comes down to it they’ll show up for Humphrey.”

Because she definitely wouldn’t have bombed the middle east for Israel /s

Seeing as how this guy and Mike Johnson are both connected to the same weird little new apostolic sect it’s amazing he hasn’t been getting more grilling about this. Like, whenever a Muslim in this country just looks at somebody funny Ilhan Omar always gets screamed at for days.

There are definitely more people responsible for this than the one person who pulled a trigger, but he certainly is responsible for that. Being manipulated is not the same as being forced to do something.

A source familiar with the matter tells ABC News that two of those shot are state Sen. John Hoffman of Champlin and state Rep. Melissa Hortman of Brooklyn Park

Why these two? I did a search for recent news articles about them and nothing notable jumped out at me, but hitting two Democratic state lawmakers feels too coincidental to just be dumb spree killing.

I’ll bet, but feeling bad about it doesn’t change what they’re doing

What was the population in 2019? Don’t we need that to understand that deaths outpace population growth?

I’m pretty sure the experts and agencies they talked to in this article have numbers for 2019.

If the newer population number is an undercount, how do we know the first clause in the sentence is true?

Because the reasons for that undercounting haven’t changed between 2019 and 2023, so the degree of undercounting is probably about the same, so even if the census numbers are an estimate they are still generally comparable, at least enough to say that (for example) an estimated 10-15% growth in the population experiencing homelessness and (for example) a 200% growth in deaths are out of whack with each other.

What’s the weather looking like in DC today? Because I know these stubborn idiot fascists won’t let something like a little lightning stop their stupid little celebration of themselves, so this all could end up a really fucking stupid mass casualty event pretty easily.

Yep, in October 2024 Israel wanted to bomb nuclear and oil resources in Iran but Biden said no to that and that they needed to pick another target, so Israel blew up a military base and killed some Iranian soldiers instead

Hopefully they feel like they’re under a ton of pressure from all angles between everyone calling them out for being the fascist thugs they are and Trump constantly screaming at them for more deportations and it’s making them sloppy

Good question

Actually, I think NPR gets money from Amazon because they pay NPR for ad free versions of their shows for Prime subscribers, and Amazon just chooses to advertise that on their own

Of course, the fact that NPR is being paid by Amazon and Amazon customers get a premium version of public media is a total fucking disgrace, but NPR rightly or wrongly felt they had to do this because they’ve been expecting the federal government to try to cut them for years and they needed new revenue streams

It’d be just perfect if after all the bullshit he’s done Trump got impeached for asserting the US’s right to control its own foreign policy (or “critically undermining Israel’s right to defend itself” as they’d put it)

I’m pretty sure their real ambition is to destroy the Iranian government so they can more easily destroy any Iranians they decide aren’t friendly enough
