Pete Hegseth wants to live in a world in which the US military can drop bombs on scores of children and face no serious media scrutiny for it. His vile claim that he can't wait for David Ellison to run CNN shows he pines for oligarchic control of media.

Twenty-nine states now reject at least some federal vaccine guidance, according to research by KFF, as the federal CDC continues to de-emphasize the importance of childhood vaccinations under Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/03/13/r...
Sickening racism from a sitting senator. The Ogles hate is contagious.
You’re either calling this out or normalizing it. There’s no third option.
COVID infections are not harmless. Research shows that initial and repeated COVID-19 infections can increase the risk of long-term health problems affecting multiple organ systems. Preventing infection and reinfection helps reduce these risks.

Why Do Some People Still Wear Masks In 2026 And On A Completely Unrelated Note Why Is Everyone In The Office Sick Right Now Apart From The Guy In The Mask?
Avian flu strikes more Indiana poultry facilities
The state had eight detections of highly pathogenic avian flu in the past week in three counties.

So, for whatever they're worth, here are my thoughts:
1. DON'T PANIC. DON'T TRY TO MAKE OTHER PEOPLE PANIC BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE DOING SOMETHING
Scaring ppl away from activism & organizing by raising vague concerns about surveillance is not helpful. Take a breath, listen to experts. Don't panic.
Dropsite reports “Black rain” + “nuclear winter” caused by Israeli strikes on oil depots in Tehran
- chemicals are producing acidic precipitation that causes skin burns + severe lung damage on contact
- the rain is corrosive + could damage structures

“EXCLUSIVE: I’m the Palestinian Who Has Been in ICE Detention for Almost a Year”
Writing for Zeteo from inside of prison on International Women’s Day, Leqaa Kordia asks us not to forget the female detainees being held and mistreated in ICE detention camps.
Montana Republican Tim Sheehy voted to scrap solar tax credits after installing panels and battery storage at his Bozeman home.
Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, “I do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...
Oddly I can’t stop laughing at how horrible this all is.
I’m also just going to point out that this opens up a Senate seat for us to take.
We wouldn’t be where we are right now if Trump and the rest of the Epstein class had been held accountable for their crimes.
This 12 year old girl was trying to protect her younger sister from a school bully.
She was struck in the head by a water bottle and died a few days later.
We have an epidemic of violence against girls and women and it has to stop.
Charge the bully with murder
Just remember what this is all for…. Distracting from the Epstein files
congress sounds cool i wish it was real
What the USA & Israel are doing in bombing Iran is a violation of the UN Charter & international law. This is an illegal war, unprovoked & can’t be justified as self - defence & is without UN Security Council authorisation.
Do we still have a Congress or no?
In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.
![A call script for elected representatives: U.S. attack on Iran:
YOU: Hi, my name is [NAME]. I’m a constituent from [ZIP CODE].
YOU: I’m calling to demand [MOC/SENATOR] take urgent action after the United States joined Israel in launching strikes on Iran today.
YOU: The Trump administration has again taken military action without any specific Congressional authorization. President Trump has also confirmed that the U.S. has undertaken “major operations” in Iran and has also said “U.S. lives might be lost.”
YOU: I am calling on [MOC/SENATOR] to call for the following actions immediately:
- Public clarification on the scope of U.S. involvement
- Call for and support support the Khanna–Massie War Powers Resolution in the House.
- Oppose ANY funding for military escalation without Congressional authorization.
YOU: Are we or are we not at war with Iran? Congress needs to answer this question, and do it quickly.
YOU: [OPTIONAL COMMENTS – e.g. Clarify you’d like a written response]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vdabazxnghujbebpi2ektqgi/bafkreihe6g2l2zn2cx4pblvsgmdykxykwi44mqhd7jeqyv57qclqkbv6mq)
Do it now.
Yes, you can leave a message. Yes, call the DC offices.
Script here again.
Trump's "Golden Age"
This is because the Pentagon and Trump don’t like Anthropic’s language preventing their tech from being used to surveil Americans or for autonomous weapons. Which means the Pentagon wants to use their tech to surveil Americans and build autonomous weapons apnews.com/article/anth...
Here’s a thought for James Comer.
There IS a First Lady who has had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s not Hillary Clinton.
It might be worthwhile for Comer to subpoena the First Lady who actually knows Epstein.
You know, just to see what she knows.
Inflation is up to 3.6% year over year. This means it's up since Trump took over, and higher than where Biden held it dating back to June 2023. Trump's promise to immediately lower prices has completely failed, yet he insists it's all fixed.
This is such a well done piece that reports out, with hard data and interviews, something profound about what's gone wrong in this country.

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.
They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.
