it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Fox News, and all the little Right-Wing grifting infotainment gremlins that have spawned from it, have destroyed the minds of at least 30% of this country and made it nearly impossible for us to have a reasonable adult conversation about anything.

BREAKING: Apple removed an app for preserving TikToks, Instagram reels, news reports, and videos documenting abuses by ICE

Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses
Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's crackdown on ICE-spotting apps.

I think my Threads account got shut down because I repeatedly said that Donald J. Trump hates Americans more than anyone else on the planet, and that that hatred comes from the fact that no one has ever really loved him or wanted him around. So, anyway, I’m saying it over here too because it’s true.

Your periodic reminder that water companies do not produce water, they produce plastic bottles, in a similar way as they enclosed & cordoned off the natural world from us, only to sell it back to us a piece at a time.

If I cannot drink from your rivers, you are not “civilized.” If my sisters cannot walk alone on your streets at night, you are not “civilized.” If your elders have to work into old age to survive, you are not “civilized.” If your people buy bombs while children go hungry, you are not “civilized.”

Dudes will say “better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war” from their couch in their apartment which is neither a garden nor a war, fully dissociated from the reality that they’d starve if they had to garden and be smoked post-haste in a war.

Imagine a world in which Christians believed their savior’s teachings. Where Catholic Church had told the Portuguese to recall their navy instead of proclaiming the Doctrine of Discovery. Where Southerners rejected the practice of slavery instead of creating a new denomination. Imagine that world.

Over and over zombie movies warn us that the real monster is humans who’ve lost their humanity and over and over idiots watch zombie movies and take away the opposite lessons somehow.

Are we taking bets yet on how long it’ll be before ICE’s official jurisdiction is expanded beyond the 100-miles-from-the-border range and expanded to include disappearing citizens who are also political opposition?

My religion doesn’t have a name, but one of the core tenets of it is the belief that everyone alive is here for some Sacred Purpose. That’s the fundamental building block of a society. You cannot have a healthy People if they cannot each fulfill their purpose.

Do people actually believe the God character from the Bible really truly exists? Because I read the text and he’s pretty violent and unpredictable. Why would you try to get his attention with prayer? I think if I thought there was an omniscience that drowned the world I’d try to avoid his attention.

Watching a guy try to become King of America instead of going to therapy makes me wonder if monarchs are just always narcissists fueled by fear and self-loathing that drives them to try to climb to the highest point they can get to like they’re infected with that zombie-ant fungus?

What kind of back-asswards person cares more about the documents than the human being? The partially-formed zygote more than the fully-formed human being carrying it under duress? You have to upside-down in your brain to think these make sense.

All these behemoth pickups with front ends that make it so the driver can’t see what’s right in front of them were built that way to exploit a loophole in policy intended to reduce emissions. Something something climate change, something something not seeing what’s right in front of you.

June is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, which I just learned from an ad for online therapy. Is it irony that so many chronically divorced X’er and Millenial men are spending it yelling at Rainbow merch online, or is it maybe time for an intervention with the uncles of the U.S.?

We really let grandpa take the country “for one last spin” with this administration. He’s SO OLD, and the things he thinks are problems, and the solutions to those problems, are all from the 1980’s. A military parade? He’s got a bucket list of things that will make him feel important.

SO sick of hearing the most miserable wretched lonely people preach about the glory individualism. These living monuments to social failure: Jordan Peterson, Andrew Tate, and the like and their unhealed mental/emotional damage are just such a drain on our collective ability to build a better world.

Christianity, and Jesus in particular, have more power as poetic constructs within parables about human foibles. The insistence that he’s real replaces imagination with Faith, which is less potent.

“Deportation” is a legal process with oversight that keeps people safe and maintains their dignity. These are abductions. This is a kidnapping. I can’t believe EVERY generation of white people has to do the same freak-out about race. Also, borders are for justifying military spending, not safety.

We have to openly, loudly, and persistently dream the future together. Take time today to describe what the world looks like when peace is won by justice, not perpetually over the horizon of endless war. How will it feel? Work backwards from there to find the path forward from here.

I am negative amounts surprised that they added a journalist to the group-chat. Hegseth is about to oversee the most brutal period of unnecessary deaths/injury in US military history. The fact it was a journalist in a group-chat, and not a large-scale friendly-fire incident is a miracle.
