A Guy Named Brian (he/him)

An alarming feature of the British polity is how far to the right the establishment parties have moved. The UK Labour govt is now further right than Thatcher & using buzzwords & policies derived from the 1970s British National Front. In England, only the Greens are normal politics*.

JUST IN: A key House committee voted on Wednesday to subpoena Pam Bondi to compel her to testify about the Justice Department’s investigation of the convicted sex offender #Epstein and its release of investigative material about him, after Republicans sided with Democrats to insist on it.

Not a single Democrat in the Colorado legislature says Jared Polis should reduce Tina Peters’ sentence. He appears set to do it anyway. The Colorado Sun asked every Democrat in the legislature Wednesday whether Polis should offer Peters clemency after the governor all but said on social media Tuesday that he plans to do so

Not that Polis probably gives a damn what the legislature thinks. 🤬

Big week for Military Industrial Complex executives and investors. Lots of people about to make a lot of money off American taxpayers from Trump’s Iran War.

Some of us like reading. Some of us have found stuff no AI is likely to find.

Some of us are tired of AI embarrassing itself by hallucinating and making stuff up.

I will, with God’s help. 🕯️

This is what happens when oligarchs control the *news*

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

🚨 We are 100 days from the start of the World Cup. Today, we’re launching an international supporters campaign calling on FIFA to drop its sponsorship deal with Aramco.

This.

The outcome of NEVER demanding accountability.

Minnesota would like a word.

I wonder how many of the wealthy westerners fleeing the gulf are leaving migrant worker maids, nannies, drivers and other staff behind.

Call Grows to Impeach Trump, 'The Most Dangerous Man on the Planet' "Trump’s illegal war on Iran and the rule of law," said one pair of campaigners, "establish an intolerable pattern of egregious abuses of power, directly threatening our constitutional order, our safety, and our way of life."

Donald Trump has launched more military attacks at more countries than any other president this century. An yet, the simple-minded fool is *obsessed* with getting a shiny Peace Prize.

a sign of penitence and act of thanksgiving

What a comprehensive win. You can absolutely see why the #Rapids96 went with Wells. Still have questions about how they match up with the top teams, like Seattle, but I can't remember the last time the Rapids controlled a game like this, especially once they were up 2-0. Season just got interesting.

Henry Cuellar U.S. Representative ("D") TX-28 Primary Date: March 3rd WARNING: PRO-ICE • Voted to let ICE strip-search children. • Voted for DHS funding. • Voted to thank ICE during LA Occupation.

50501 Ricardo Villarreal Running for TX-28 (D) Veteran & Physician Primary Date: March 3rd Not Pro-ICE • Protested Dilley detention center. • Opposed DHS funding vote. • Running against pro-ICE Trump collaborator.

To abolish ICE, we must abolish pro-ICE “Dem” collaborators.

Pro-ICE incumbent Henry Cuellar is running in the TX-28 Democratic primary against Physician & Veteran Ricardo Villarreal on March 3rd, 2026.

Don’t forget to vote!

Call me a raving radical but I literally do not care whether your imperialist massacre of children is “constitutional” or not.

We seem to have collectively decided, gradually and mostly out of apathy, that presidents can launch flagrantly unconstitutional wars of choice without congressional approval and there just won’t be any consequences. Would be nice if this is where we start reversing the trend.
