If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.

No matter how you feel about leaders, targeting their families, kids, and grandchildren is a new level of moral depravity.

As someone who's been giving Middle East geography quizzes to young Americans in college for about 13 years now, I can tell you that this is accurate (at the start of my classes)

The lesson we are teaching the world with our posture towards Iran and Venezuela is pretty bleak: Get nukes and don’t trust the U.S.

I would urge people to watch the UNSC meeting taking place right now.

This statement is appallingly bad--like, the administration *illegally bombed a school.* It's mind-boggling to me for this to be the reaction from a human, much less a purported leader of the Democratic Party. I need a new senator stat

I doubt the war on Iran will have the rally-around-the-flag effect Trump is hoping for.

I am not so sure the "kill their kids" doctrine will win the Iranians' hearts and minds.

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

The strikes on Iran would likely increase incentives for nuclear deterrence, push Tehran closer to China, create short-term oil market volatility, and risk friction with Gulf partners, depending on the scale and aftermath of the conflict. No upside here.

Notice how Altman says "Department of War" and then talks about serving humanity a couple of hours before the attacks against Iran happened.

"military action may become necessary to protect American troops and American citizens in Iran" is some true up-is-down Orwellian nonsense

Anthropic was right.

Sam Altman picked a hell of a day to basically urge the world to trust the morality and legal restraint of the Department of Defense

Trump wants the Nobel Peace prize because he: 1. Killed a bunch of fishermen. 2. Abducted the Venezuelan president. 3. Bombed Nigeria, Syria, Somalia, Yemen. 4. Started a war with Iran.

Nine months ago, the United States "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program. Tonight, we're attacking Iran to disrupt their nuclear program. A sizable percentage of this country thinks that's normal.

Reminder that there was a nuclear deal with Iran (JCPOA) that Trump cancelled in 2018.

An Iranian girls' school was reportedly hit -- 53 dead. War crimes galore.

Stalin would be proud, comrade.

The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close! New: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d...

"Let's put Grok in charge of the nuclear arsenal!"

We all know what the next step is, right? Like, which body part they will hit with a hammer next in their idiotic "maxxing" quest? I will be here to enjoy their pain.

Hey, so all those rocket launches people love cheering on are probably destroying the upper atmosphere. Repairing the ozone layer in the 90s is one of our all-time great achievements as a global civilization; private rocket men seem intent on reversing that.

Two points: *Neither getting on a plan, nor buying beer is a constitutional right *You don't need to prove citizenship to buy a beer or get on a plane - that is what the SAVE Act calls for, which will clearly disenfranchise lots of people

For some reason I cannot imagine Chris Wray or Robert Mueller chugging beer after a hockey game.

Our president is both incompetent *and* insane.

Since MAGA is berating Canada for hockey, I'd like to offer the following stat: Norway has 6 more gold medals than the US with a population of 5.5 million.

You cannot fathom the anti-AI furor currently taking hold of Gen A's, mainly because AI has messed up with their consoles, PCs, and gaming. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024%E2...

"Acting in Bad Faith" is their motto.

In fact, military spending could go down by as much as 50% without a measurable reduction in our defensive capabilities.

It has only been a year... www.cnbc.com/2026/02/20/p...

Tariffs were paid by the consumer, not the corporations. I don't care how they do it -- refunds belong to us.

Seems bad. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/b...

According to Kavanaugh's logic, if the Trump administration starts killing Americans, SCOTUS shouldn't stop them because bringing back the dead will be too complicated. It's the "oopsie daisy, doodoo happens" legal doctrine.

Wait, so the National Retail Federation wants refunds for the tariffs *we* paid?

If a job candidate had sent this trash as their sample syllabus, I would've thrown their application to the bin.

Not a bug, but a feature of the Trump administration. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/19/b...

Why is Greece an observer at the Board of Peace @greeceineu.bsky.social?

This, once again, is taken right out of the fascist playbook.

We didn't do the same because the media, Biden, and Dem elites told us it is "not good for democracy" and that it would "divide the country." Now we have a fascist in the WH, rampant corruption, and unspeakable suffering around the country.

This whole mess began 10 years ago when the press elevated the "economic anxiety" of rural whites in diners.

I have lived close to FL6 for 8 years (was in GNV). It's the home of the archetypical florida man in its wildest form. It's so out there in craziness even Ocala is like "nope."

Perhaps the biggest disappointment of the AI bubble for me has been the lack of scientific breakthroughs. AI was supposed to help with new antibiotics, cancer treatments, antigravity sneakers (!!). Instead, we got a sloppy autocomplete and a "photoshop+" for incels.

If you stand up to a bully, the bully will always back down.

Is there any promise this administration won't break?

Cannot wait until the AI bubble goes pop.

I guarantee you there is a professor at UF's PoliSci dept teaching the exact same course (3 credits) to 100 undergrads for about $10k.
