RIP to hundreds of Iranians and one American vacation

This is truly vile behavior. Rep. Gill's hatred and ignorance is shameful. Our Muslim neighbors contribute so much to our communities, including compassion and kindness that they are too often denied by others. They are humans who deserve dignity and respect. They belong. They matter.

Actually I don’t think Congress authorizing the bombing of a country makes it ok to bomb it. The issue is the massacring of people and not the process by which we decide to massacre them.

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

The same way you don't want people bombing you and your loved ones is the same exact thing that other people feel where they live.

This is outrageous. The sort of thing that might wake up a sleeping Representative if they cared about such things, eh, @tomsuozzi.bsky.social?

But we were assured* that robo cars were so much safer!! *by people who would profit from the implementation of robo cars

Looks like the fence is going back up at the MDC in Los Angeles. The previous iteration of the fence made the sidewalk nearly impassable and caused serious issues for wheelchair-bound Angelenos trying not to fall into the street, but I'm sure they've fixed that issue this time around..

Not sure why anyone expected the US government to care about violent deaths of children at a school in iran when they demonstrably do not care about the violent deaths of children at schools in the US.

You couldn’t make this up. And if you did, everyone would say it’s too much.

GENDER-AFFIRMING CARE IS HEALTH CARE. Thank you to the NY Attorney General’s Office for affirming our community.

Cats are fine right? Will also put my picture back in a profile on the internet when it no longer immediately increases the amount of trolls trolling to be visibly female on the interwebs.

for those of you who werent adults during iraq, its hard to overstate how much the media loves war porn. they salivate over pentagon spin briefings. they love stories about all the bombs and how supposedly infallible they are. they love the notion of the commander in chief, in the situation room etc

Every time I think I have become accustomed to the pure absurdity, callousness, inhumanity of the legal system, courts just… decide to remind me how very unjust the justice system is. And it’s so often the little things that really make it clear. And that was BEFORE i caught up on SCOTUS tonight.

By a 6–3 vote, SCOTUS refuses to review a judge-made rule that bars indigent prisoners from splitting the filing fee among themselves when filing a federal suit—even though everyone else is allowed to split that fee. These defendants were allegedly tortured. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

*cries in public defender*

world-altering decisions are being made by a cabal of gambling addicts hell bent on self enrichment no matter the cost to humanity, we should look into that.

While bombs are falling on Iran, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are arguing about process instead of clearly saying this war shouldn’t be happening, and that’s not leadership.

NEW: Four federal judges have formed a firewall against ICE in West Virginia — and say they’ll punish state and federal officials of they continue detaining people in ways they have ruled illegal and unconstitutional. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Full 1984 vibes.

Dipshit Trump has no plan for what happens if the Iran regime doesn't collapse.

Police investigating deadly shooting in northeast Austin

Brian Krassenstein - "At least 13 people shot at Riverfront Live music venue, in Cincinnati, Ohio. Yet another senseless mass shooting in America as our president worries about bombing Iran." #cdnpoli

"I fear my children will grow up thinking hunger is normal[.]"

They are literally trying to convince you that starting a war is ending a war.

A fan messaged me about this passage from Sherry Thomas's book, "The Librarians," in which a librarian has an annoying older male patron ask her for some woman-on-woman sf😂

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.

“We don‘t know what comes next but we know that we killed a bad guy and that’s good,” the conservative editors intoned, having been born yesterday and being understandably confused about how this kind of stuff works

uhhh oh my god

me: "Senator Schumer was saying that the worst part about this was that Trump didn't brief congress first, and I disagreed with that" other guy: "You disagreed with that?" me: "Yeah, I thought it was the murdering people."

The issue isn’t that he is a felon. I know plenty of felons who would do a better job. Remember, the state controls what is + is not a crime + who prosecuted. The issue? He is a narcissistic asshole with dementia who cares only about his pocketbook + ego + there appear to be no checks or balances.

Killing a bunch of elementary school girls to distract from having raped a bunch of middle- and high-school girls is pretty fucking grim.

Today's senseless, unjustified attack on Iran makes everyone in the world less safe. It is a mistake, and Congress must act to put a stop to this aggression. Pass the Khanna-Massie War Powers resolution. Trump is not above the Constitution, and the US is not above International Law.

Can we just give Mamdani a list of all the illegally detained people and have him express his concerns to the president

I have yet to see a facially insufficient OGA charge in NYC. it is not the first time i’ve seen this kind of bull shit tho.

use what you got.

A lawyer for ICE just testified that DHS is telling agents to “violate the Constitution” and enter homes without a judicial warrant “Never in my career had I ever received such a blatantly unlawful order,” he said Today-at Columbia-that’s exactly what they did Thankfully Mayor Mamdani got her out

Shorter Mamdani: “Pharaoh: Let my people go. … Or I’m about to part the Hudson River and your ass.”

so manhattan DA is going to arrest them for violating pl 190.26 right? It’s a felony to impersonate an officer.

This is such a well done piece that reports out, with hard data and interviews, something profound about what's gone wrong in this country. www.wsj.com/us-news/amer...

HAPPENING NOW: Good morning from the federal courthouse in Nashville, Tennessee. A federal judge is set to preside over an evidentiary hearing on whether the United States government is vindictively prosecuting Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I'm here for @lawfaremedia.org. Follow along ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Much more relatable than investing in Palantir, I suppose.

I’ve had the privilege of having @votewelch.bsky.social as a colleague and friend for almost a decade now. While I am selfishly displeased at losing her as my office mate, NY-03 deserves better than Tom Suozzi (1 of 7 Dems voting to fund DHS)I KNOW Dani will be the fierce advocate that NY 3 needs.
