"The Peace President."

If you see this, post a princess or a queen.

Olivia Rinaldi @olivialarinaldi A source familiar with the Vice President's thinking before the strikes on Iran tells @CBSNews that while the Vice President was personally against the strikes, if the strikes were to happen, he argued that the operation should 'go big' and 'go fast.' A spokesperson for the Vice President declined to comment. @nytimes was first to report.

significant that even Vance believes Trump's war is a political loser

Trump’s Case for War With Iran Faces Growing Scrutiny U.S. intelligence showed threats from Iran loomed, as they had for years. But they were not imminent.

"U.S. officials and lawmakers with access to classified information ... say the administration’s assertions are incomplete, unsubstantiated, or flat-out wrong."

- Wall Street Journal

None of you are morally obliged to pay attention to war stuff all day

This is “I’m old and I know stuff” Ellie speaking, and I heard this from people who actively protested and evaded participation in Vietnam: you cannot spend all of your time focusing on your country’s atrocities.

Trump looked voters in the eye and promised he would keep us out of endless wars. He lied. Americans died because of it - he knows, and he's sending us to fight and die anyway.

In November, Trump and Republicans will find out what happens when you lie to the American people.

Trump, the Self-Declared Peace President, Goes to War Seeking Regime Change

Donald Trump started a war and quickly blamed Iran for his defeat in 2020. He is plotting to steal the 2026 election. And his buddy David Ellison just won control of CNN.

My friend Garrett created a mobile library called the Free Society People's Library a couple of years ago. www.freesocietylibrary.org/about

"We provide free, accessible, information on radical movements and revolutionary ideas past and present to people of all ages."

Push from Saudis, Israel helped move Trump to attack Iran President Trump launched a wide-ranging attack on Iran after weeks-long lobbying by an unusual pair of U.S. allies in the Middle East: Israel and Saudi Arabia.

"The attack came despite US intelligence assessments that Iran was unlikely to pose an immediate threat to the US mainland within the next decade."

So why do it?

"A weeks-long lobbying effort by Israel and Saudi Arabia..."

Ah. Not just weak, but cheap, too.

Take two minutes to watch this piece with NYT photojournalist Kenny Holston, the only news photographer on the House floor during Trump’s State of the Union speech.

There’s one shot in particular that will likely end up in the history books.

See if you catch which one.

This angle with Trump in the foreground and Al Green in the background…historic.

A PSA from Thomas Massie:

Trump lies. Again & again. “When he first ran in 2016, Trump disavowed military adventurism, declaring that ‘regime change is a proven, absolute failure.’ He promised to ‘stop racing to topple foreign regimes.’ When Trump ran for president in 2024, he boasted of starting ‘no new wars.’”—NYT, 3/1/26

They spent billions on regime change in Venezuela and left the Maduro's head of torture in charge.

They are now spending billions on regime change in Iran, knowing the most likely outcome will be harder line leadership.

We do not have serious people running our country.

While operations are coordinated at a members-only, private beach club — in between fundraisers and parties.

This is an unconstitutional war and Congress needs to vote immediately on a war powers resolution to tell the president to stop. I will be a strong yes. (1/2)

What to know about U.S.-Israel attacks on Iran The U.S. and Israel have launched major attacks on Iran that President Donald Trump says aim to crush Iran’s military and stop production of a nuclear weapon.

#ResistanceUnited #DefendersOfDemocracy apnews.com/article/iran... So the "peace president of no new wars" attacked Iran because *checks notes* over their nuclear weapons even though *checks notes* it was Donald himself who withdrew from nuclear deal because President Obama was responsible for it...

History Vault is like $60 a year, guys. How far back do you want to go? (I'm assuming we're limiting this to human history).

Also historical settings in pretty much everything genre of movie or book, also non-fiction.

The 80 million options we had before ChatGPT are still there...

US strikes against Iran could see oil prices jump $10 to $20 or more with no deescalation After the US and Israel struck Iran with a series of air strikes on Saturday, triggering immediate retaliation, oil prices could jump by $10 to $20 or more.

If creating chaos and war is what makes America great, we are definitely winning the biggest trophy ever....get ready for higher gas prices folks.

We need a bunch of private sector lawsuits to get this blocked, suits from a diverse array of actors with possible standing including: members of congress, states, competing media organizations, literally anything mentioned in the monopoly and FCC case law.

I wrote a book! (Yes, this often happens to me.) And yes, it's the pink stripe in the rainbow flag when you stack them right. It's out Tuesday and I start doing events on Monday with the most amazing people. List here and more below: www.rebeccasolnit.net/events1.html

Judge Says U.S. Is Intentionally Violating the Law on Immigration

“On the merits, its detentions are illegal,” the judge wrote.

“[The government] knows this.”

www.nytimes.com/2026/02/26/n...

Mass horror at the killings of Renee Good & Alex Pretti has DHS’s budget at stake.

And yet in the past week, agents left a blind refugee to die alone.
And lied about it.

They pretended to be police looking for a missing child, to detain a college kid.
And lied about it.

What does this tell you?

Pope Leo XIV has instructed priests to stop using ChatGPT or any AI to write their sermons.

He said a true homily is about sharing faith, something AI can never do.

UPDATE: There are very few national news publications with agenda setting power: 2 owned by corporations that Trump threatens to ensure news collaboration {ABC, NBC}, 7 owned by right-wing moguls that willingly collaborate {Fox/WSJ/NYP, CBS/CNN, WaPo, LAT}, 1 just hates Democrats {NYT}.

You would think with 0 national publications left-of-center some enterprising person would think there may be a business opportunity there!

@miarobin.bsky.social

I am devastated to hear of the passing of Nurul Amin Shah Alam. He was a refugee of the Rohingya genocide living in Buffalo, New York. Border Patrol agents wrongfully detained him and dumped him on the street in brutal winter conditions. Blind and walking with a cane, he died trying to get home.
