For the smooth brains out there following the US/Israel vs Iran war. A simple explainer:

Fall of the regime: Good thing
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei dying: Good thing
85 little girls bombed & killed by US / Israel: Bad thing
Starting an illegal war: Bad thing

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

A US or Israeli strike hit an elementary girl’s school in Minab, a city located in the Hormozgan province of southern Iran, murdering at least 40 students. Parents seen distraught searching through the rubble. (No video since not for entertainment and too distressing)

Now that he’s started a war, I’ve completely forgotten that he’s a pedophile.

Still a bit shocking at how reluctant UK and US news media is to grapple with the possibility that the US government under Trump has adopted a strategy of kidnapping or assassinating internationally recognised political leaders

This is Trump's former AI adviser

When you think about it for more than 5 seconds, it really is both insane and outrageous that *HILLARY CLINTON* - a woman who apparently has never met with nor corresponded with Jeffrey Epstein was one of the first people deposed.

Our drunkard Secretary of Defense got into a contract he was too stupid to understand and is now losing his shit because he can’t force some nerds to build murderbots and spy on Americans for him.

Judges question Pam Bondi’s social media posts on Minnesota arrests The attorney general’s posts included names and photographs of the defendants.

Oh nothing — just me @ the bad place

(2) Covered procurement action.-The term "covered procurement action" means any of the following actions, if the action takes place in the course of conducting a covered procurement: (A) The exclusion of a source that fails to meet qualification standards established in accordance with the requirements of section 3243 of this title for the purpose of reducing supply chain risk in the acquisition of covered systems. (B) The exclusion of a source that fails to achieve an acceptable rating with regard to an evaluation factor providing for the consideration of supply chain risk in the evaluation of proposals for the award of a contract or the issuance of a task or delivery order. (C) The decision to withhold consent for a contractor to subcontract with a particular source or to direct a contractor for a covered system to exclude a particular source from consideration for a subcontract under the contract.

Okay so it looks like the relevant statute is 10 U.S.C. § 3252 statute, and the Secretary is entitled to take the following "Covered Procurement Actions" to address supply chain risks.

None seem to align with what Hegseth said. It appears limited to subcontracting (not "any commercial activity").

In a new filing with the SEC, Trump Media and Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social, revealed that in 2025 it lost $712 million and brought in just $3.7 million in revenue.

The recent Decision of the United States Supreme Court concerning TARIFFS could allow for Hundreds of Billions of Dollars to be returned to Countries and Companies that have been “ripping off” the United States of America for many years to come, and now, according to this Decision, could actually continue to do so, at an even increased level. I am sure that the Supreme Court did not have this in mind! It doesn’t make sense that Countries and Companies that took advantage of us for decades, receiving Billions and Billions of Dollars that they should not have been allowed to receive, would now be entitled to an undeserved “windfall,” the likes of which the World has never seen before, as a result of this highly disappointing, to say the least, ruling. Is a Rehearing or Readjudication of this case possible??? PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump on the Supreme Court's tariffs ruling: "Is a Rehearing or Readjudication of this case possible???"

Trump congratulated a guy who is being pressured to resign, including by several GOP colleagues, over allegations that he coerced a sexual relationship with a staff member who later killed herself.

New: As David Ellison prepares to take control of CNN, legendary CBS News producer Mary Walsh, who is exiting, sent a goodbye note to colleagues.

In the note, Walsh writes, "We’ve been told to aim our reporting at a particular part of the political spectrum. Honestly, I don’t know how to do that."

World Economic Forum leader Børge Brende has announced his resignation following an independent investigation by the group into his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

So I just got a statement from California AG Bonta's office:
"Paramount/Warner Bros is not a done deal. These two Hollywood titans have not cleared regulatory scrutiny — the California Department of Justice has an open investigation, and we intend to be vigorous in our review"

Lawmakers say US military used laser to take down Border Protection drone Members of Congress say the U.S. military used a laser to shoot down a Customs and Border Patrol drone.

BREAKING: The U.S. military used a laser to take down a Customs and Border Protection drone, lawmakers say, and FAA closed airspace near El Paso, Texas.

Daily Wire and all these conservative outlets just collect tarnished celebrities like they’re Pokémon. “Have you been the perpetrator of domestic violence? Did your anti-Trans posts get your Star Wars spin-off cancelled by Disney? The Daily Wire will get you the gigs you deserve!”

This should be a front-page scandal.

the "just asking questions" to "legitimate questions about fairness in sports" to "the state doesn't have to consider us as real people" pipeline working exactly as designed.

Trump, seeking executive power over elections, is urged to declare emergency Activists who say they are in coordination with the White House are circulating a draft executive order that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting.

An image of an official announcement from Columbia University in the City of New York, dated February 26, 2026. The letter is signed by Claire Shipman, Acting President. The text states that at 6:30 a.m. that morning, Department of Homeland Security agents entered a Columbia Residential building and detained a student, allegedly using misrepresentations about searching for a "missing person" to gain entry. The announcement reiterates university policy that law enforcement must have a judicial warrant or subpoena to access non-public areas, noting that an administrative warrant is insufficient. It instructs community members to ask agents to wait and to contact Public Safety if they seek entry to such areas. The university notes it is working to gather details, reach the student's family, and provide legal support.

Columbia University just emailed affiliates letting them know that federal agents from DHS abducted a student this morning from a campus residence under false pretenses and with no warrant or probable cause.

like this isn't 2012, there are no national queer rights orgs who are flush with cash. Everyone I speak with is dramatically cutting their budgets. And red state queer orgs are always fighting uphill on a shoestring budget.

My challenge to you today is to google a red state queer org and donate.

i wasn’t trying to start a discourse, just running my mouth
