Hey remember when every Team Trump excuse for this proved false and then everyone moved on?

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

Historian here no literary scholar but here we are

Fox News: “We regret showing outdated footage of Trump at the dignified transfer not wearing a baseball hat, thus failing to honor the fallen by informing our viewers that the hat, normally $55, is on sale at the MAGA merch store for $29.99 for a limited time only.”

What a shameful exercise in performative religiosity and piety 😳

The Epstein Saga Is Not a Game. It’s About Protecting Women. Donna Ladd reflects on her own story amid the still-unfolding Jeffrey Epstein saga of rape, retribution and the protection of sexual predators.

"I understand why women are afraid to come forward. I didn’t call the cops on my rapist & I’ve never named him publicly. It’s sure not because I’m protecting him. I’m protecting myself. Nobody would've believed this trailer-park girl vs that Big Man On Campus," @donnerkay.bsky.social writes.

Sorry forgot to do it with this one!

Congratulations DHS Secretary Stephen miller on continuing to be DHS Secretary

Post See new posts Conversation Andrew Solender @AndrewSolender There is HEAVY pressure on Dems to get in line on this Iran war powers vote. Leadership is whipping a yes vote, progressive groups are threatening primary challenges, and I’m told Pelosi is currently giving Landsman a piece of her mind on the floor. https://axios.com/2026/03/04/democrats-iran-war-powers-vote-primary

Good. Every Democrat who doesn't do the bare minimum should obviously be obliterated at the next opportunity in their primaries. Glad leadership is whipping yes.

Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0

😂😂

Historian here history first time as tragedy the second time as farce.

Continents according to Trump

Yeah this is Trumps strategic view of the world:

Well it’s been a matter of fact and knowledge since 1775!

11 months too late for the 250th anniversary of the battle of lexington

Senate Republicans just voted to block our War Powers Resolution & allow Trump's regime-change war of choice in Iran. Once again, they're contracting out their constitutional duties to Donald Trump, despite the will of their constituents.

Shameful.

No Help and Few Options for Travelers Stranded by Mideast Conflict

One woman who called the State Department helpline looking for help said they told her to "stop ranting and raving" and hung up on her.

Another woman said they asked her how to spell Oman.

Historian here yes on the 250th the uber patriotic White House does not know when the American Revolution began. The shot heard around the world? Not an by unAmerican regime hell bent on destroying the American republic!

Yes everyone in Massachusetts is having a fit!

Too confusing the historical terms as well as contemporary ones was patriots v loyalists

Extreme pro slavery southerners were not too fond of the Declaration it was a lie as Alexander Stephens put in his cornerstone speech. The longer argument is here: www.amazon.com/Counterrevol...

Nah they were bent on counterrevolution not revolution!

Got fixated on the Declaration I think!

The incompetence of the Iran War rollout is just stunning.

Rubio says "Israel dragged us into this war! We had no choice!"

Trump says "I dragged Israel into this war! Regime change! Iranian people, rise up!"

Just bonkers.

Four people, with their hands up, standing behind 2 people sitting. The four people standing are US citizens who were detained, the two people are families whose family members were killed by migrants.

Jayapal is now introducing 4 US citizens who were detained for at least 6 hours merely for observing ICE.

Kristi Noem sent a much-delayed list of USCit detained by ICE yesterday. None of these four were on the list.
