a couple weeks ago I submitted paperwork to kick off the process of applying for Austrian citizenship for me and my children

the reason I am allowed to do this is that my grandmother, at age 12, escaped the country to get away from the nazis

sorry but I don’t have a lot of grace for nazi tattoos
If being against a guy with a Nazi tattoo makes me a purist I guess I'm an anti-Nazi purist. If you think that makes me an anti-Nazi single issue voter, you're wrong, but also it's a pretty good single issue.

There is more than a year. Go get another real progressive who doesn't have a Nazi tattoo.
Holy... See, this is why primaries are a good thing.
I feel like I missed some news....

Don’t let the frogwater that’s boiling us alive let you skip over this: we murdered another country’s citizens in cold blood, and when their leader objected, we called him a drug dealer and cut off aid to his country. That’s freakish.
Petro objected to the US bombing a Columbian fishing vessel that had the emergency beacon on because they were broken down, that we subsequently bombed. One Columbian fisherman survived the attack.

This is the official US response to Petro's comments.

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.

Two elite stat lines in an NLCS clinching game. I am having trouble articulating how insane it is that they are by the same person.
I had to call my kids into the room to watch that Ohtani home run. We watched it five times.

Meeting Putin in Hungary, of all places?
Hosted by the EU's most Putin-sympathetic leader?
In the country with Europe's worst case of democratic backsliding?
The one who hosted CPAC and did the keynote at CPAC in the US, broadcasting transnational anti-democracy solidarity?
That's quite the message.
Special little boy gets caught being naughty.

This is ICE unmasked.
An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative
Sometimes I am reminded we are living in a really strange dystopia.

Kinda seems like whether or not the president has the power to assassinate people with no due process, no input from Congress, no review, no oversight, and with no obligation to provide anyone with any information or evidence other than “trust me” is an important test of our democracy.
News on Trump boat bombings --> Now that SouthCom Commander Alvin Holsey has resigned, likely over the bombings, ranking Armed Services Dem Adam Smith tells me committee Ds will demand Holsey's sworn testimony and press Rs to join them.

Smith spoke to us on the pod:

Trump Boat Bombings Take Darker Turn as Top Official Suddenly Resigns
As the head of the military’s Southern Command steps down, Adam Smith, the top Armed Services Committee Democrat, sheds new light on the departure—and on Trump’s appalling secrecy about the bombings.

This really is disqualifying.
Oh this is actually worse, we haven't had a judicial filibuster since 2013 dawg

the “Trump has illegally seized the power of the purse from Congress” crisis has a comms problem - its a massive issue but that doesn’t fit on a slogan

Then i realized we have one direct from our founders: “no taxation without representation”
Another great reason to not own a Tesla.
