Face motion picture soundtrack, @sluggodoug.bsky.social ? Has to be REPO MAN (1984). There needs to be more of that soundtrack on 1stWAVE. How about Institutionalized?

From Dean Obeidallah: Remember how Trump slammed Pres Obama for unfreezing $1.7 billion to Iran as part of Iran nuclear deal? Well Trump just waived sanctions on Iranian oil. How much will that make Iran?! $14 BILLION dollars. Trump is LITERALLY funding Iran's war! www.nytimes.com/2026/03/23/b...

Many more Georgian protesters had their accounts and assets frozen today in relation to their 2025 peaceful activities. #TerrorinGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests

Cloud cover usually prevents satellites from seeing strike damage, but not in Primorsk, Russia, where fires at the port are still burning for a second day.

ah ok, so this FCC router ban is basically a shakedown, requiring foreign router manufacturers (which is pretty much all of them) to obtain "conditional approval" from DHS or DOD, which you can assume involves a fee of some kind

Colonists needed to communicate during the Revolutionary War, so the USPS was formed. It proved so vital it was written into the Constitution and served as a secure way to hold elections. Voting by mail is how this country was founded. Trump wants SCOTUS to end it. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

I have never seen this as a possibility in my lifetime. no01.substack.com/p/march-19-2...

My favorite of the day (my kid laughed hysterically)

The Trump administration temporarily lifted sanctions on Russian oil shipments in an effort to calm markets and stem the economic fallout from its war on Iran, which has sent crude prices spiraling upward.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

“Can I prove it? No. But, by golly, I’m going stand here and undermine our democracy as long as someone puts a microphone in front of me.”

Mike Johnson on Trump calling for Rs to "nationalize" elections: "We had 3 Republicans who were ahead on election day in last cycle & every time a new tranche of ballots came in they just magically whittled away until their leads were lost. It looks on its face to be fraudulent. Can I prove it? No"

He may be my new favorite author.

“An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these “de-escalatory measures” are about placating Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package.” newrepublic.com/article/2057...

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland. And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

"Officers threw flash bangs and tear gas in my car. I got six kids in the car" "His wife, Destiny Jackson, told FOX 9 their 6-month-old infant stopped breathing and lost consciousness. She then performed CPR on her baby."

Looking at today's events and saying "fascism is coming" is like issuing a flood warning when your house is already underwater. In addition, anyone thinking "bOtH sIdEz aRe FaScIsT!: can fuck right off.

This is completely fucking unacceptable. Shut this terrorist government down until it stops brutalizing its own citizens.

"Calling for" makes it a law. What a monumental idiot.

They use Nazi slogans and deploy Nazi terror tactics…but don’t call them Nazis, otherwise you’ll get a heap of Nazi gaslighting about being responsible for them being Nazis.

This is Minneapolis: Walk into my neighborhood ACE last night & see the signage on their door notifying fed agents that it’s private property and cannot be used for immigration enforcement. These signs are all over the city. Walk in & the nearest shelf has goggles & whistles.

Yesterday Elon Musk retweeted "white solidarity is the only way to survive". In our numb overwhelmed media environment it barely made headlines that the world's richest man endorsed blood-curdling white nationalism. My brief writeup for @religiondispatches.org religiondispatches.org/elon-musk-ju...

BREAKING: Minnesota investigators say they can't access evidence after fatal ICE shooting and the FBI won't work jointly on probe. Follow for live updates.

State of play: Forensic reconstructions disprove the administration's account of events (NYT, WaPo, Bellingcat): bsky.app/profile/elio... Local investigators being denied access to evidence (AP): apnews.com/live/minneap... Demonstrators met with violence (CNN): bsky.app/profile/atru...

the federalist is pushing for a military invasion of minnesota, accusing the state's democratic leaders of "stochastic terrorism" and incitement to violence against law enforcement by telling people to resist i.c.e.

The more we learn about this horrific incident, the worse it gets.

At a time when Americans can’t afford rent, healthcare, or groceries, the Trump administration found time and money for regime change in Venezuela, risking a war that Americans don’t want.

All of the atrocities are intentional. All of this was planned. Putin installed Trump for one reason only: to destroy the United States from within. Accordingly, Trump will continue ratcheting up the violence and chaos until he incites a nation-ending civil war.

I guess “I will enjoy your skin” wasn’t as flirtatious as I thought it would come across.

This is *definitely* how you behave when you're trying to bring every resource to bear, rather than trying to cover up the unlawful behavior of your own personnel.

ICE just murdered a U.S. citizen. This violence is the direct result of racist rhetoric coming from Donald Trump and his allies. This is dangerous state-sanctioned violence. We will not stay silent while unqualified masked federal agents terrorize our communities.

If Republicans REALLY cared about fraud, they’d start with the billions being funneled to donors, billionaires, and Trump’s businesses—instead of using hearings to distract us while they rip healthcare from working families.

🇺🇸👀 Protester in Minneapolis to CNN: Trump is a Russian asset, and he's ripping our country apart.

The government is saying that violence rules. That snatching foreign leaders and territories, and shooting US citizens in their cars at point blank range, is justified. That resistance is not only futile, it is dangerous. They can say these things. But they cannot force us to believe them.
