Spotted this on a pole behind independence hall. I recently saw someone say they found collage to be the best way to work through things and I didn’t really see it at the time but

i think that it is plainly obvious that we should bankrupt Palantir on day one by cutting all of its contracts and declaring it a supply chain risk.

Trying to use less plastic? Big Oil and the plastics industry are spending billions to make sure everyone else uses more. “I think what stood out most is the deliberateness and intentionality over the years of pushing plastic into our lives,” said @bethgardiner.bsky.social. “It was such a shock."

I've been struggling with how to express my dismay at the war coverage by our top newsrooms, and how it dances around the central fact that Trump is deranged and unfit to command. I finally wrote something. Please read it. presswatchers.org/2026/03/the-...

Meanwhile, in Vermont… People are getting gassed for protesting ICE. Yep, that’s still going on. America sure is great, isn’t it? #Vermont #ICE #SouthBurlington

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment. Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off. The 25th is never happening.

Imagine a world where Americans were smarter and didn’t applaud when reactionary idiot Ronald Reagan made a show out of removing the solar panels Jimmy Carter had installed on the White House. We wouldn’t now have to worry about affording to fill gas tanks next month.

Looking for a great political show? Watch Borgen on @netflix.com. It’s a fascinating look at how a multi-party democracy works in Denmark—with bargaining, compromise, and coalition-building to actually solve problems. A striking contrast to America’s two-party dysfunction.

I don't see a lot of talk about the environmental consequences of the war in Iran, but damn, they are already significant.

Bird populations are declining more rapidly, particularly in regions dominated by intensive farming. It’s not just that there are fewer birds each year. In some places, each year brings larger losses than the one before, explains an ecologist.

i’d like for some people to grapple with the fact that “the most important election of our lifetime,” if you actually mean it, implies that the governance period following it is also the most important governance period of our lifetime, and adjust their demands/expectations/behaviors accordingly

Far-right figures have come out unequivocally against Trump's war on Iran, including Steve Bannon, Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Infowars kingpin Alex Jones.

This is like watching Trump bankrupt a casino in real time. Except this time we are the casino.

"Immigrants saved US government at all levels $14.5 trillion from 1994 to 2023 because the taxes they paid cut budget deficits by nearly one-third in real terms, a new Cato Institute study reports. Learn more from David Bier. ow.ly/QG2150Y8lav bsky.app/profile/cato...

This interview with the great @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social was a "wow" moment for me. Thanks, New York Times and David Marchese. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/07/m... I couldn't help noticing the question that seemed the most Times-like to me.

Trump's plan to use Iran war as 'distraction' from Epstein files has one huge flaw: Kimmel www.rawstory.com/jimmy-kimmel...

It's been nothing but sacrifices on our part, from tariffs, ICE goons violating our Civil rights, shoveling money at billionaires, losing our health insurance. Meanwhile, the asshole in chief demolishes the East Wing to build a vulgar monstrosity for his own ego.

One can only interpret this kind of thing as an overtly hostile act meant to try to diminish Prime Minister Carney. He will never succeed though because our Prime Minister has more class in his small finger than he does in his entire big fat body. www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

its cool how we’ve spent decades anticipating this exact scenario where a cornered iran would mine or otherwise deny access to the strait and the US gov is just like “woah, no idea they’d play this card in response to [operation: no iranian government official left alive]”

“You can feel it rattling your eardrums,” Devan Jenkins, who lives in Memphis’ Whitehaven neighborhood, said while describing the sound of the turbines that power one of Elon Musk's xAI data centers. “It makes you feel like you're going insane.”

The Missouri Republican who introduced this bill is now running for Congress against Emmanuel Cleaver in the newly gerrymandered US congressional district. He's one of the most extremely bigoted and profoundly stupid elected R's in the state.

I made a helpful guide for posting

There are zero unregistered immigrants in the Epstein Files. There are 27 billionaires in the Epstein Files.

The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining. A senseless, criminal waste

goddamn is this a breath of fresh air after Allred 2024

They should call his bluff. No endorsement needed.

If you are watching Trump's presser right now, you are seeing beyond reasonable doubt a person not mentally suited for any position of responsibility. Even running a small store. GOP members of the House and Senate: You are seeing this too.

Good Lord.

These guys have reached "wearing ill-fitting, uncomfortable shoes to please dear leader" levels of sycophancy.

I’m a grown man who works for the president of the United States who is afraid to not wear the shoes he bought me that do not fit

Normalise the second question when you meet an American outside of America being “who did you vote for?”

Markets are *very* unhappy about developments in Iran.

Today the United States wasted another #1B on an illegal war in Iran, money that could have been spent on funding health care or providing SNAP benefits or cancer research or academic scholarships for minorities. I could go on and on but I think you get my point. #endtheiranwarnow

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.
