JAN13

Trump is burning through taxpayer dollars on wars just like he burned through his father’s money in the 80s.

Such a lovely man. I wonder who he is.

Familiarity with even a few trans kids will quickly cure you of any thought that there is some sort of social cachet to be had here, or any kind of social advantage.

Susie could be a go-between… 🫣

Capitol Hunters confirms Platner lied about why he could not get back into the Marines in 2009. It was because of his Nazi/antisemitic tattoo. He blamed Marine policy barring sleeve tattoos, but Marine policy grandfathered sleeve tattoos. It barred symbols of hate, which is what the Totenkopf is.

Thread. The Secretary of Defense thought this was cool, despite — or maybe because of — the Iranian vessel not being a threat, and having participated in an Indian-sponsored international exercise. Possibly also because there are so few military targets left in Iran. By @ryanenos.bsky.social

Not me taking Tom Steyer seriously all of a sudden.

He probably has hereditary bone spurs.

Biden: "We're in a tough spot, folks. We've got an administration that doesn't share any of the values we have. And I don't think I'm exaggerating."

The slurs somehow have more agency than the Republicans.

The “NYT actually assigns agency to the people doing the thing” headline challenge remains unwon.

Heck, I’ll be reassured a bit if he just did a podcast with some Jewish people about this stuff. Beinart probably wouldn’t do it. But someone of good faith.

It pisses me off that the movement’s leaders all have their own kids vaccinated but they’re ok with the MAGA rubes’ kids getting sick and dying because this antivaxx nonsense advances their overarching narrative that all neutral sources of information are corrupt.

Trump will absolutely not stop unless he is stopped. It wouldn't take much to stop him—he's a coward. But if those who have institutional power don't act, the current crisis will get even worse. He has no self-control and is giddy over the death and suffering he's inflicting.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

“anger is real, and so is resolve” goes pretty damn hard

Bernard LaFayette, Selma voting rights organizer, has died Voting rights organizer Bernard LaFayette has died. LaFayette's son says his father died Thursday morning of a heart attack. He was 85.

Bernard LaFayette, the advance man who did the risky groundwork for the voter registration campaign in Selma, Alabama, that culminated in the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, has died.

Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.

I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.

Excuse the bad language, but this is where we are at right now:

New Federal 'Don't Say Trans' and Book Ban Bill Could Have Wide Repercussions - Mombian House Republicans have introduced a bill that would ban books, activities, and programs that mention trans people---and potentially all LGBTQ people---from K-12 public schools nationwide.

Thanks for your coverage of this--I cited it in my own. Also wanted to point out the bill's use of booklists from a conservative Christian educational source among the lists of books that would be exceptions to the rule. mombian.com/2026/02/27/n...

Hey, everyday is a new day. Make new memories, new friends. Leave yesterday behind. Lol

Phil Knight is one of the biggest funders of the Oregon GOP because, like them, he’s a real populist who’s always looking out for the best interests of the little guy.

Keep those guys on speed dial. Or whatever it’s called these days.

Trump, Hesgeth, and Rubio are not worth the toenail parings of any one of these Americans.

New reporting finds that Trump's DOJ took over and quashed a state investigation into Epstein's New Mexico ranch in 2019.

As the walls close in on Trump, he'll do anything — including launch full-scale wars — to distract the public.

@ianboudreau.com, 1 Mar: "Someone on here told me 'stop anthropomorphizing Trump' and that has often been helpful"

I voted for conor lamb but could not vote for mehmet oz. I am very sad about john fetterman. I like to think he would have been different if not for the stroke but im probably wrong 😑

Tell Congress: No War with Iran Trump has launched unauthorized military strikes on Iran, dragging the United States into yet another war without approval from Congress. This reckless escalation is putting U.S. servicemembers, Ameri...

The American people do not want another endless war in the Middle East. We have seen the human, moral, and financial costs of unilateral regime-change wars. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

Our Members of Congress have both the authority and the responsibility to act.
