The #Iran #MOU isn't a "peace agreement"; it's a temporary cease-fire, one that leaves Iran in control of the Straits of Hormuz, releases billions of dollars they can use to fund terrorists in #Israel, #Lebanon, and around the world, and offers the US nothing—NOTHING—that we didn't have already.

What a fucking joke. The greatest, most fearsome military in the history of mankind couldn't defeat a country run by backwards religious zealots, thugs, and terrorists. Not because we're incapable, but because our "leadership" (and I use the word lightly, even ironically) is so corrupt and incompetent that in only 18 months they have turned the United States of America into a punchline.

I hope this country can survive 2.5 more years of this, and I hope that it won't take generations to fix the damage being done by this administration. But I am not optimistic about either.

Congratulations 🎊 to corrupt rapist Red Don and his team of “negotiators” 🤣🤣 who sacrificed American lives and perhaps $50B or more of our tax dollars to achieve a worse outcome in every respect than the #JCPOA.

And also congrats to #AIPAC and every other pro-#Israel person or organization opposed to the JCPOA for their assistance in this effort. Couldn’t’ve done it without you!

Together you’re Making #Iran Great Again.

Idiots.

Rewatching The West Wing at this time is an exercise in pure joy and a form of self-punishment. It’s an “if only” experience, one that screams “where did we go so wrong”. It cruelly reminds us of what we could have had at a time when that’s never been further away—and what’s more, may be gone forever.

Let’s see. . . Marco Rubio compared putting a UFC fight on the #WhiteHouse lawn to putting a man on the moon —but that’s not even my favorite part. My favorite part is when he said this country “was founded on doing what no-one else dared to do, and what no one else aspired to do”. 😳😆😂

Sure; we’re the country that does stuff that is so incredibly important that nobody else even wants to do it. Just like the #space program. 🤣🤣🤣

@wendythedruid "Mandates same-sex college roommates"? The entire bill is repulsive, but that part is simply absurd and can't possibly survive review in the courts (according to a guy who lacks any credentials for making such an assertion; namely, me). But it is ridiculous.

The rash of legislation aimed at #trans kids—banning gender confirmation surgery, restricting bathroom choice, etc.–is clearly aimed at intimidating and humiliating children, and has to stop. (I'm less certain about rules prohibiting participation by trans athletes in gender-segregated sports: there are too few people affected, and too many questions to which I have no answer, for me to have an opinion there.)

If we had a Supreme Court that wasn't filled with Supreme Douchebags, such clearly unconstitutional (and cruel) legislation would find no safe harbor.

Republicans in Congress, 1868: All are equal under the law!

Republicans in Congress, 2026: Just kidding

Here lies the #FourteenthAmendment, which could not survive the exsanguination of the #VotingRightsAct at the hands of a compromised and corrupt #SCOTUS.

May its memory be a blessing.

Well the shooter at least saved us all from the incomprehensible verbal assault euphemistically referred to as "the president's remarks".

Federal #judges—especially at the district level—are practically all that's left standing between this administration and its goal of supplanting #democracy in favor of American-flavored #fascism. #Democrats have to take every possible action to delay or deny confirmations to the Federal bench.

If Dems somehow manage to take the #Senate this November, we can shut down the appointment of unqualified right-wing nutjob judges that have characterized this administration, once and for all. Until then, we can only exact a toll for each such nomination, invoking cloture under Rule 22 and utilizing every minute of delay made possible under that procedure.

I’ll say it again: Mahmoud Khalil is not an admirable person; he believes and says ignorant and hateful things.

It is equally true that deporting him is a gross injustice, and should be prevented at all costs.

That’s what it means to be American: standing up for the rights of terrible people, because if they have no rights, none of us do.
