These effing bastards need to be dragged before a war crimes tribunal at the first opportunity.

No Quarter And not one more inch.

Democrats overwhelmingly oppose this war, but there are warning signs that they won’t have the mettle to force it to an end, if the opportunity arises. www.offmessage.net/p/no-quarter

Once upon a time everyone knew Trump could blunder us into WWIII. His buffoonery insulated him from backlash, and the world from risk, because decision makers decided to grimace and tolerate it as a temporary inconvenience. That insulation is basically gone now. www.offmessage.net/p/no-quarter

No Quarter And not one more inch.

We obviously need Trump to be removed from power. Short of that we need the world to know that the majority of American citizens, and their representatives in the opposition party, can see that this is madness and are trying to stop it. www.offmessage.net/p/no-quarter

tl;dr kill the supplemental, support impeachment, reject every threat and gambit he deploys as he attempts to rehabilitate his failed presidency. www.offmessage.net/p/no-quarter

Carney says former prince Andrew should be removed from succession over 'deplorable' actions | CBC News Prime Minister Mark Carney said Friday disgraced former prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor should be removed from the line of succession for his "deplorable" actions.

This is now inaccurate on royal succession in Canada post-Motard.

Canada simply follows the British law. When we pass our own legilsation, it's merely to express assent, as per the Statute of Westminster 1931 convention. The succession would change in law for Canada whether we assented or not.

Alabama Is About to Execute a 75-Year-Old Man Who Didn’t Even Kill Anyone. There’s Still Time to Stop It. His name is Charles “Sonny” Burton, and he was one of six people who robbed a Talladega AutoZone in 1991.

Next week, Alabama plans to execute a 75-year-old man who gets around in a wheelchair and wears a padded helmet to protect his head from frequent falls. slate.trib.al/jMdaeof

Ik ken tandartsen met Porsches die zichzelf ‘middenklasse’ vinden. Ze zijn het alleen niet

Nederland is namelijk geen land van miljardairs, daarvan hebben we er (gelukkig) maar een paar, en die hebben er hoogstens 1 of 2. Nee, Nederland is een land van miljonairs, ‘best wel’-rijken met een vermogen van ergens tussen de 1 en 10 miljoen euro. www.volkskrant.nl/columns-van-...

Analysis Suggests School Was Hit Amid U.S. Strikes on Iranian Naval Base

Official statements placing U.S. forces in the area – along w/ analysis of social posts, videos, sat. images – suggest U.S. forces bombed a school in Minab, Iran during strikes targeting an IRGC base. Over 150 were killed, Iranian officials say. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/w...

Kuwait Cuts Oil Production as Storage Fills Up The cuts signal a broader storage crisis that poses new risks to the global market.

Exclusive: Kuwait is cutting oil production after running out of storage room, signaling a broader crisis that poses new risks to the global market.

Exclusive: US investigation points to likely US responsibility in Iran school strike, sources say U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school that killed scores of children on Saturday but have not yet reache...

“If a U.S. role were to be confirmed, the strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the ​Middle East.” www.reuters.com/world/middle...

I generally avoid talking about idiocracy, but this is damning evidence of the stoopidization of the US government.

It shows without a doubt that this war, and Trumpism in general, center around performing masculinity.

We have to start seeing what is happening in the world through the lens of the social construction of gender or nothing makes sense.

Reactionaries convinced us for decades that something like gender studies has no practical use in society, and I know many reasonable people also believe(d?) this. It was the butt of the joke for as log as I can remember.

But OMG does this video drive home the point they were wrong.

Once again we talk about how crucially important Ramstein airbase - a huge US military installation in Germany - is for US operations in the middle east and beyond.

As someone who has been working on US drone ops for ages, I have posted quite a bit about Ramstein. Like this thread 👇

This is a real video from the official White House account on a war that is currently killing people. I don’t know how the US is going to come back from this.
The post was “JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY. 🇺🇸 🔥”

As @jasonread.bsky.social observes, today's right often adopts 20th century avant garde techniques. Here's their take on appropriation art (ex. Adbusters). It's not about misreading the original meanings of the clips, but applying their previous cultural cache to create a new message.

More Patriot missiles used in Middle East in 3 days than in Ukraine since 2022, Zelensky says President Volodymyr Zelensky reiterated that Ukraine is ready to provide drone interceptors in exchange for missiles, though he did not specify which countries could be involved.

This is a fucking travesty.

“In just three days of fighting in the Middle East, more than 800 Patriot missiles were used — more than Ukraine has received throughout the entire Russian full-scale invasion.”

(A year’s worth of production or more, btw)

What Makes People Proud of Their Country? From diversity in Indonesia to food in France, people in 25 countries share in their own words what makes them proud.

Other factors mentioned regularly include the American people (13%) and the economy (11%), with some emphasizing their pride in “the American dream” and having “plenty of opportunities.” 💵

Dive deeper into our full survey covering 25 countries:

When the topic of national pride comes up, the U.S. is one of the countries where something negative is a common response (20%). Once again, this is partisan (8% of Republicans vs. 32% of Democrats), though that is also the case in most other surveyed countries.

Interestingly, it is also the only country surveyed in which there are significant partisan differences in pride in the country’s freedoms (32% of Republicans mention it, compared with 15% of Democrats).

“What makes you proud of your country?” 🇺🇸

Americans are particularly proud of the country’s “freedoms and liberties” (22%); the U.S. is one of a few countries surveyed in which this is the case. 🗣️

Thx, rage politics.

"The U.S. was the only country surveyed where a majority had such negative views of their countrymen."

US: 53% say their fellow citizens are morally BAD.

Canada: 92% say fellow Canadians are GOOD. ❤️
