They are murdering the people they say should rise up.

This reminds me of the “Why is there no Palestinian Mandela?” line. Like, because you would have murdered him and all his family??????

I wonder why the Democrats are always recruiting former military rather than, say, community organizers, public defenders, or nurses.

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

War has already displaced nearly a million Lebanese, and aid groups warn of a humanitarian crisis Hundreds of thousands of people in Lebanon have fled their homes since Israel issued mass evacuation orders and ramped up its airstrikes on the militant group Hezbollah.

In just 10 days, more than 800,000 people in Lebanon have been displaced by an Israeli military offensive, just over a year since the last conflict uprooted over a million Lebanese from their homes. That’s one in every seven people in the tiny country.

Entire families wiped out and towns emptied as Israel’s war on Lebanon intensifies Communities displaced and destroyed while death toll rises faster than during any previous war in Lebanon

"The Israeli airstrike collapsed the two-storey building instantly, killing all eight members of the Hamdan family: grandparents Ahmad and Najib, their children, including Batoul, and grandchildren Fatima and Jihad – three generations wiped out in a moment." www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

With oil prices skyrocketing, take a moment to remember all the renewable energy and electric vehicle initiatives this administration tore up.

This is, to put it mildly, a double standard. This guy was part of a government that encouraged online social media figures to engage in routine harassment of government employees to the point that many were fired or went into hiding. Some of it was done by Elon Musk, this guy's boss.

It’s the Trump Administration That’s Threatening the World—Not Iran As the White House takes the U.S. to war, here are five reasons to oppose the attacks on Iran.

"There is no question that the most aggressive Middle Eastern power at the moment is Washington’s ally Israel, enabled through military assistance, arms transfers, and political protection by the United States."

Ladies-
Do you see what they are doing now?!
The abortion pill is critical for women who have had miscarriages.
They’re silently stripping away our rights and our healthcare! Call your reps and make noise!
We have to be able to chew gum and walk at the same time!

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.

Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.

The 25th is never happening.

Fascism doesn't start with soldiers in the streets.
It starts with deciding who is expendable.
The sick. The disabled. The aging.
The refugees. The immigrants. The outsiders.
The people who think too much, speak too loudly, refuse to bow. 1/2
William Murphy
It starts small. With quiets erasures. The things we let slide because we think they don't apply to us, until they do. 2/2

But when they send Vance to try to destroy the welfare state in Minnesota, they do call that a “war.”

You can have the best armed forces in the history of the world, but if you are an incompetent criminal without a plan, you can still lose a war, and rather quickly.

Historian of French Revolution here to say that in periods like this, squeamish compromisers do as much to drive radicalization as do ideologues. If you keep making excuses for the unfit king, eventually folks come for you and him.

The Scale of Billionaires’ Campaign Donations is Overwhelming U.S. Politics

In 2024, the % of all campaign donations (i.e., $ raised) coming from billionaires was 19%.

Before Citizens United, that was 0.3%.

Mamdani Chooses His Words Carefully After Alleged Terror Attack

One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...
