We’re not talking enough about what’s happening in Vermont. There’s no excuse for this brutality. None. Law enforcement has a right to do their job, but their job is to de-escalate, not assault people. Video credit: Itisu Siru

Thank you! We all must vote, tell all your friends and family as well.

Folks, 📅 2026 primaries are coming up fast. Check your state’s date. Make sure you’re registered. Make a plan to vote. Too much is riding on people sitting this one out. Stay ready so nobody decides the future for you. iwillvote.com

Everyone should do this!

Yep. Much like we saw with Bill Barr and Merrick Garland. I guess to them the end? ( Unity party aka dictatorship) Justifies the means. They just forgot that 250 years of liberty and tremendous success on the backs of the working class will not be so easy to reconcile. .

Hicseth would simply replace them with sycophants. My hope is that they’re practicing malicious compliance. Also,

Pffft! Similar behavior to Congress.

I knew we were doomed when Hegseth and drumpf called all the brass to that meeting, and those “brave military leaders” sat mute while a wannabe dictator and his performing chimp held a Hitleresque rant. Real leaders would have defended the Constitution and walked out. Not sat like mute fools.

What Diana52 posted below is a critically important message that everyone must be aware of. We must refuse to listen to more of his lies and demand that Congress stop the madman. I am terrified he will plan a mass killing so he can blame Iran so he can declare martial law.

Breaking NYT: The Trump admin just lifted sanctions on Russian oil currently at sea — allowing it to be shipped to buyers around the world as Trump scrambles to contain soaring energy prices because of his war with Iran. The admin claims the move is temporary.

Too many people, including some news media, let the truth be trampled upon without thought for what is happening to us and our nation.

The GOP is not trying to fix the economy. They're trying to fix the election.

This dangerous drunk is an absolute psychopath.

You mean black women are strong capable females? Say it ain't so. The regime just needs to stop. Their racism and misogyny is becoming their mantra and it's doing them no good #USDemocracy Black women impacted by DOGE cuts are rebuilding their careers share.google/I6t4xKh4wG95...

Anyone in the least familiar with typical conservative, Republican "projection" rhetoric could have easily foretold fascist leader / crime boss / conservative, Republican president Lord Dampnut and his fascist party intended starting wars and quite possibly WW3. They talked about it often enough.

Did you catch self-styled military genius US General Bonespurs (aka Lord Dampnut) explaining they never really considered the Iran War might affect shipping through the Strait of Hormuz? But it's all good. He's already explained it's good when oil prices rise because we make more money, so ...

Well at least one news outlet is telling the truth on something, even if they lie to their people.

Enemies of the People

I asked President Trump about the FBI reportedly seizing election records in Arizona. He said they must have done that because it was a “rigged” election. I pointed out to him that his own AG said there was not measurable voter fraud to overturn that election. Then he called me a rotten reporter.

A rotten politician calling a reporter doing their job rotten.

Christian Bloom's work is amazing.... I had to go have a look.

He doesn't have enough Followers here.

Christian Bloom, 12/2016 "that was nine years ago. how fucking prescient was Bloom?" - Jeff Tiedrich, 3/12/26 substack.com/home/post/p-...

"Isn't he just the best?" -- Olympian Kaillie Humphries gives Trump an award for his impact on women's sports and "standing up to keep biological women in women's sports"

While hes stands there sexualizing her in his one track mind!!!!

Talarico on Trumpworld's "short term pain" talking point: "I'd like them to tell that to the parents of the American troops who have lost their lives. That is not short term pain. That is pain that will last forever ... no one asked for this."

Talarico: "As a former educator, as someone who fought for students & kids in the halls of the Texas Capitol, it makes me sick to my stomach to see our foreign policy take the lives of innocent children in Iran & in the Middle East. It has to end. We need a foreign policy that reflects our values."

Karp always delivers, he can't help himself and rants openly about Palantir's bloodlust and war-profiteering. He's been doing this for years. Anyone who speaks seriously about Palantir should be shunned. They are what Karp says they are.

Talarico: "There's another war in the Middle East. There's a cost of living crisis. There's a secret pedophile ring & no one has been prosecuted. So the people responsible are trying to distract us with the same old culture wars ... what do the American people care more about -- pronouns or prices?"

"It's like Trump felt, as a would-be dictator, he had to have his own nihilistic war, just like his idol Putin. But Trump’s 'excursion' against Iran is nothing like Putin’s years long 'special military operation' against Ukraine — it’s actually more stupid." www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-excu...

His rallies aren’t what they used to be.

Happy Birthday dearest Liza- friend of a lifetime ( in the first photo we were about 15- modeling for Seventeen Magazine ).

The Strait of Hormuz crisis is not just about oil. 30% of the world’s fertilizer moves through that chokepoint and prices are already up 77%. Tankers are burning, allies want help, and China and India are cutting their own deals.

Americans may support strikes on Iran, but there is still strong opposition to putting US boots back in the Middle East. This is not just a security issue. It is an energy, food, and economic crisis

The war, which is nothing like a little excursion, hasn’t been ‘easier than expected’ as President Trump said this afternoon. Iran is exporting more oil than ever before, our Gulf allies feel blindsided, the goalposts are shifting so far there’s no talk of any of the initial goals, . . .

and over 30 of our soldiers are in hospitals after the Iranian drone attack in Kuwait. Plus, there’s the missile that struck an Iranian school and killed over a 100 kids. Have there been military wins?

Of course! Some great ones. But being realistic about how this is unfolding isn’t unpatriotic - quite the opposite.

If Republicans are so concerned about national security, they’re welcome to make some compromises on body cams and unmasking ICE agents for starters. But don’t expect Democrats to give another 50 billion to fund the war in Iran . . . .

when they’ve already signed off on over a trillion between the Pentagon budget and reconciliation bill. And as for Kristi Noem, she deserves every bit of scrutiny coming to her and then some. Senator Kennedy wouldn’t have it any other way.

Last week UNESCO contacted all parties in the Iran war, sharing locations of revered cultural heritage sites hoping they might be spared. These sites are protected under international law. But they are being hit hard by Israel and the United States www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/w...

There is no excuse for antisemitism, or islamophobia, or homophobia or any sort of hatred of others.

Let’s talk Iranian drones and California. Do I think it’s likely? Probably not, but some of you are suffering from a severe failure of imagination. I’ve seen a lot of “lol it’s 7,500 miles from Iran to Cali, drones would never make it”

1. The article specifically mentioned the goal was to deploy them from surface craft off the coast. 2. Do you not remember the massive drone op in Russia where Ukrainian drones were smuggled in on box trucks and deployed from in country?
