Whoa. This is big. "The U.S. Navy has refused near-daily requests from the shipping industry for military escorts through the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the war on Iran, saying the risk of attacks is too high for now." www.reuters.com/world/middle...
This is outrageous.
And Daines is the one who dropped out? Sheehy is an awful person; always has been.
WATCH— @ossoff.bsky.social : “Trump owes 🇺🇸 a real explanation. 2AM posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. Trump was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch, hours before service members endured missile salvos.”
Wait, what? Is this yet another attempt by someone to, I don’t know, cheat?
In this nearly neverending landscape of WTF, this is right up there. Because the ‘trusted contact’ can be pretty much anyone. So thoughtless.
She done did FAFO, hard.
VAGUE reasons, mind.
Yes please!
One of the many weird about current academic "I handed over most of my research to Claude and triplemaxxed my productivity" discourse is the focus on time-saving rather than quality. It's not about producing better research, but about producing three times as much just-about-good-enough research.
Nothing like a bit of fascism from the top.
Well, this is all kinds of disturbing.
Noem AGAIN refuses to apologize to the families of Renee Good and Alex Pretti after calling them domestic terrorists without evidence.
Still, this time she lies and says she never said it, even though it's on tape and she doubled down on her claims several times.
Interesting stats. Thanks for sharing.
So, not to start a conspiracy or anything, but gas prices around here have been relatively low for a while. Between 4 and 9 pm, they rose locally by about 40 cents. Oil company profits?
Also, can anyone point to an actual rationale for all of this?!
Nine months ago, the United States "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program.
Tonight, we're attacking Iran to disrupt their nuclear program.
A sizable percentage of this country thinks that's normal.
the former host of celebrity apprentice and the former host of fox & friends weekend are launching bombs and destabilizing the world for generations all because voters decided their biggest issue was a trans kid playing jv tennis with their friends 4 states over
This is one of my pettier impulses but I want the record to reflect just how often this motherfucker said that Kamala Harris was the pro-war candidate in 2024.
Gotta love waking up to yet another middle eastern war. Haven’t they learned yet that getting involved in a land war in Asia is a very bad idea?
Oooh, cool!
Nothing. I am so happy to have been a part of her journey. She’s going to be such an amazing human.
I cried so hard. This is my daughter whose biomom never allowed her to be her, if that makes sense. I am unbelievably blessed to be. In her life.
So, as some of you know, I’m a bonus mom. Tonight, one of my bonus daughters gave me this, and I cried.
Okay, because the BS and terrifying things are piling up today, I gotta ask. What has given you joy lately?
For me, it’s my weekly pottery class, even though I suck.
This week Historians At The Movies talks about the life, death, and memory of Medgar Evers. Join us on Netflix this Sunday, February 22 at 8pm eastern for GHOSTS OF MISSISSIPPI.
If you believe in what #HATM is doing, share this and we’ll see you soon.
This is actually real.
Chicago Magazine lists a Nazi, Nick Fuentes, as the 7th most powerful person in the city.
What are we doing, America?

At least some lawmakers get it. Tennessee lawmaker backs off plan to kill tenure - Knoxville News Sentinel
WHITE HOUSE: "When you see it on Truth Social, you know it's directly from President Trump."
TRUMP 2 WEEKS AGO: "Somebody posted, a staffer posted ... somebody slipped. I didn't do it. This was done by somebody else."
Sadly, yeah.
