You say "problem." We call it a "project."

I'm going to get myself killed in Louisiana, but: taxes on gasoline are good, and instead of cutting them we probably need to raise them by a lot.

And then when the cut expires the Republicans get to blame Democrats for "raising gas prices on the American people!!!"

Who are these people's fucking advisors? I can see the trap and I'm tired after a full day of teaching and using most of my attention on baseball.

Democratic policy really should be along the lines of something like: "Would you let Republcans have this if they tried to do it at any other time?" If the answer is no, then it should stay no. And for fuck's sake don't fucking propose it yourselves.

So the Republicans' punishment for getting us into this idiotic war is they get a tax cut, their favorite thing ever?

Minikettle when I fly. JetBoil when I drive. Never looked back.

It's almost as if the people in charge in the US have absolutely no idea about the consequences of what they're doing.

Why bother trying to negotiate a ceasefire, when the US and Israel have demonstrated, repeatedly, that they're just going to bomb you whenever they want anyway? What's the penalty for not negotiating? "We'll bomb you?" They're there already.

This was easily foreseeable. A professional, non-servile, diplomatic corps might have pointed it out under other circumstances. But we are governed by really stupid amateurs, so here we are.

Beginning to suspect that "regime change" will happen here before it does in Iran.

A knock on the window and a glimpse of America’s surveillance future “This is taking a big and very scary step toward a kind of totalitarian checkpoint society,” a privacy advocate warns in a special France 24–Mother Jones report.

“They’re using facial recognition, every advanced tool that they have to try and identify protesters and squash what we’re doing.”

The DHS is using Mobile Fortify, an app that allows officers to photograph a person’s face and immediately query DHS databases for matches on protestors.

Fin Garden was hit. That’s all we know, atm. No word on the extent of the damage, yet. 😔

Judge: you intentionally drafted this with AI and you intentionally filed it with the court without checking it. How is this accidental? Why weren't you candid with the court?

Check out this thread from a hearing about whether a DOJ lawyer should be sanctioned for submitting a brief that included
AI-fabricated case law and quotations.

This is not the kind of thing you want a judge to be saying to you.

This is a profound truth. Superb player absolutely hung out to dry.

It was about a year or so ago we were told we should silently concede them the right to illegally rendition people to overseas torture camps in the name of addressing immigration. That was the *savvy* political play we were told.

I mean: don't come at me with Cormac McCarthy and Ursula Le Guin. Bright the hawk's flight on an empty sky, etc.

Also: it's pretty easy for anyone semi-well-read to distinguish the passages. Some I clocked and could have immediately written a short answer about on a lit final.

“We are forced to stay despite the danger, when we defend our land, and we do so peacefully. None of us carries weapons. All of us carry peace and goodness and love.”

These were the words of Father Pierre al-Rahi one day before Israel killed him in Lebanon today on March 9.

'We can get to you whenever we want to': Immigrants say ICE is surveilling them NPR collected dozens of accounts from people who have been caught in the massive surveillance web set up by the Department of Homeland Security.

“When you look at our ever-present surveillance state and the ways in which people are being retaliated against and identified, I think that this is exactly what they (U.S. founding fathers) wouldn't have wanted,” EFF’s Saira Hussain told @NPR.org. www.npr.org/2026/03/08/...

I suspect "it will be ended" when Iran decides it's ended. And we don't really have much say in that now. They're demonstrating the U.S. can be defied and doesn't have any staying power.
