Fun fact: Tim Walz has not gone along with sports betting. Sports betting is illegal in Minnesota, even at tribal casinos.
I just saw Hegseth boasting about, "We will give no mercy. We will give no quarter."
Hey dipshit, we give quarter and mercy in the hopes that our people will be treated humanely if they are captured.
Denying humane treatment to others endangers us all you fcking moron.
Actually given the popularity of the "love jihad" conspiracies in India---where conversion of Hindu women is seen as a non-consensual act of aggression---this approach to trans people kind of rhymes.
Declaring that no quarter will be given is straightforwardly prohibited under international humanitarian law.
When done to threaten an adversary, the declaration itself amounts to a war crime.

Ms Rachel has shifted from advocating for children killed by bombs that our taxes pay for, to advocating for children that our government is imprisoning without cause, which our taxes also pay for.
This isn’t what a kid’s entertainer should feel the need to do, but since we’re here, more ppl should.
As many as 70% of the gypsy population of Europe were killed during world war two, but I guess it's cool because you have some stevie nicks looking stuff in your shop.
The slaughter in Lebanon is unfathomably cruel and almost no one is talking about it in the US x.com/ramabdu/stat...
If the government really is worried about Iranian sleeper cells, then it was probably a mistake to systematically reorient the majority of US counterterror resources toward arresting immigrant grandmothers and five-year-olds in bunny hats
Did a story on what RFK Jr. believes and how it ties into what some are describing as "soft eugenics." We also interviewed @bethmariem.bsky.social who did a piece last year digging into his beliefs. You can listen here or wherever you get your podcasts
NEW: The DOGE operative accused of telling colleagues he planned to exfiltrate sensitive SSA data for use at a private company is John Solly, CTO of the health IT division of Leidos. (Leidos denies he put any such data on its systems.) @telliotter.bsky.social and @makenakelly.bsky.social have more:
Sodomizing a Palestinian prisoner with a knife on camera is apparently legal in Israel
im just really fucking sick of spending my entire adult life lurching from one worldwide economic disaster to another all because people pretend republicans arent dumb as dog shit morons completely detached from reality
This is a calculated effort to ethnically cleanse area C - which is 60% of the West Bank. And it is moving ahead successfully, while European governments murmur their objections and talk about a two state solution.
The new supreme leader, in office less than a week and possibly already dead, offers a coherent and reasonable list of war goals and peace terms that are ambitious but not impossible.
The US regime, meanwhile, has not explained any war goals to the American people or legislature.

I want to underscore how INCREDIBLY racist “we went too far”/“racism is over” takes are.
The quiet part of that statement is: current racialized disparities represent the natural distribution of opportunities, talent, and resources between racial groups.
It is white supremacist, bell curve shit
Into the garbage bin they go, right next to Target.
We don’t need your shitty brands! You’re expendable but trans people are not.
I use Kobo and Libby, and none of the recent Kobos for sale has issue with Libby integration.
Houthis used Iranian model Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) in their attacks from 2023-2026. We knew they had these and were probably better at using them than the Houthis. They *may* have submarine ones (UUVs) too.
You would think we'd be better prepared for this but alas
It’s time to oust Stephen Miller
Noem’s firing shows our power, and now we must go after the real architect of Trump's deportation machine and so many other harmful policies.
Last night, @joesudbay.bsky.social and I were talking about how important it is to extricate Miller last night.
Hello, I am looking for freelance writing gigs quite urgently due to being a victim - now twice - of theft. Any help is appreciated. I have written widely on games, TV shows and film for a variety of outlets - IGN, The Verge, Slate. If you have or know anything, plz DM me ASAP.
On the campaign trail, Trump pledged he would not drag America into another war.
Then he became the first president stupid & reckless enough to put American lives at risk in support of Israeli PM Netanyahu's 40-year quest for a regime change war in Iran.
Lovely photo and message of care for New Yorkers! I'm sure people are acting extremely normally about it!
Democratic Members of Virginia’s U.S. House Delegation “strongly condemn the deceptive and offensive mailers being sent to Black voters across Virginia by a MAGA-aligned group” ("Across the country, Donald Trump & MAGA Republicans are pushing a national power grab") bluevirginia.us/2026/03/demo...
The consent violation machine stole everyone’s work and now generously gives the “option” to opt out. They should face severe punishment for not treating this as opt in
Islamophobia codified into the patriot act decades ago is now being weaponized against all Americans.
The same will happen with the normalization of war crimes against Muslim nations in contravention of international laws and norms and normalization of genocidal anti Muslim rhetoric by lawmakers.
How to make yogurt: milk a cow, homogenize + pasteurize the milk, heat up the milk again, let it get back down to 110 F, stir in some bacterial culture, let it sit for 8-12 hours, add fruit/sugar to taste.
How to make ultra-processed yogurt: Do all that and then add a drop of food coloring.
It’s so fucking irritating that this was all obvious all along and they did it anyway
An opinion that makes you a fringe radical in this country is that the life of a person who is not an American citizen is not an abstraction, and is worth just as much as that of an American citizen
