It’s my birthday, so I’m asking for one act of resistance. 😅🎂 Pick one: download 5Calls, call Congress (no blank check for DHS/ICE), check voter registration, donate, boycott Amazon, shop local, join Indivisible, strengthen community. Fuller list in this caption: www.instagram.com/reel/DVTbgRN...

Look for large segments of the American news media, thirsty for war news, to instantly forget that the Trump regime lies to the public all the time.

#tvsky #filmsky #war Hard to believe, that the final episode of the TV series M*A*S*H — that was watched by approx 106 million viewers — aired 43 years ago today. My gosh.

Someday, before I die I hope, Americans will come to realize that not choosing the lesser evil means the greater evil wins

You know, Ukraine has never blown up a school full of little girls. Sometimes an accident is not an accident, especially with countries like the US, Russia and Israel that repeatedly commit the same crimes against children.

The first deaths announced from the US-Israeli strikes on Iran: dozens of school girls. They hit an elementary school in Hormozgan.

Please leave me and this cookies and costumes holiday out of this you freaks

MS NOW brings John Bolton on TV to say Trump’s attack on Iran is based on “legitimate“ grievances. How about putting a non-warmonger on the air. We desperately need better media.

Trump: "For 47 years the Iranian regime has chanted 'Death to America' and waged an unending campaign of bloodshed and mass murder targeting the U.S. ..." No mention of what happened 73 years ago, when the U.S. overthrew Iran's democratic government, installing the Shah's murderous dictatorship.

And my review for @crooked-marquee.bsky.social: crookedmarquee.com/review-epic-...

EPiC: ELVIS PRESLEY IN CONCERT goes wide this week, so that means I'm resharing my @nytimes.com piece on how it was made (gift link):

an updated debbie downer sketch but it's friends showing her funny videos and she has to respond like this to every single one like this:

Rep Jim Himes (D-CT), top Democrat on House Intelligence Committee: “Everything I have heard from the Administration before and after these strikes on Iran confirms this is a war of choice with no strategic endgame…”

The Trump regime has launched targeted strikes against the public's attention on the Epstein files.

Best news of the day so far. 😎

You *have* to be nice to her. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxnR...

in other disgusting news...

So much for the Board of Peace

I guess Operation Epic Fury is better branding than Operation Please Stop Talking About Epstein or Operation Maybe This Will Help Me in the Midterms or Operation We'll Work Out the Details Later.

the consolidation of major media institutions by the president’s oligarch friends is obviously bad, but i do wonder about the ultimate impact. it is clear that trump and his allies believe that you can buy up media and pull an orban or a putin. but…

This really feels like an Orban/Erdogan situation in which the aspiring dictator is making sure his friendly oligarchs control as much media as possible www.cnbc.com/2026/02/26/w...

The United States government is currently covering up evidence the President sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl and is demanding every AI company allow their products to be utilized for mass surveillance of Americans and autonomous weapons systems. Not great!

This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.

one of the funniest things to keep coming out of the anthropic reporting is that the pentagon was trying to convince amodei by proposing elaborate hypothetical scenarios. buddy do you think an EFFECTIVE ALTRUIST has never considered a bizarrely specific and elaborate hypothetical scenario??

The pedophile in charge of the federal government is trying to use AI to build autonomous weapons systems and mass surveillance. Have a nice night!

This is illegal act of war committed by a president who is actively trying to cover up evidence he sexually assaulted a 13 year old girl. This should not be treated as legitimate in any way.

so we went from war on anthropic to war on iran in a matter of hours

Let's be clear: Trump's attacks on "antifa" are an attack on America. www.theverge.com/policy/79051...

I’m sorry, but we can’t allow this dying pedophile to launch an unconstitutional war.

what a crazy night for sam altman to be like "yeah we got that dept of war deal, and there's no moral concerns here"

Trump had no choice but to act. The Iranians were just weeks away from obtaining the missing Epstein files.

Within hours of Oman's Foreign Minister saying "Iran agreed to zero enriched uranium stockpiling", Israel immediately bombs Tehran & the US promptly joins This can only mean it was NEVER about nuclear weapons & Trump is either compromised by Netanyahu or is using war to shape the midterm elections

The home of Iran's former president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, in Tehran was hit. The house is gone, leaving only burning rubble and burned out cars. It’s unclear if anyone was killed.

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization

Has anyone else noticed that gmail now has auto-activated it's new "I think you write badly, I will underline all of your terrible writing so I can give you suggestions that will make your emails completely soulless" feature and it appears impossible to turn off?

⚠️ NYT confirms: These are JOINT attacks by the US and Israel on Iran. GIFT LINK for live updates:

Fuck these people and their cutesy little op names.
