The Hungarian govt is escalating its anti-Ukrainian actions and disregard for law. I hope they get absolutely trounced at the polls.

I guess all those people on X who claimed it was an Iranian missile and Bellingcat had lied about it being a Tomahawk are rushing to correct themselves - U.S. at Fault in Strike on School in Iran, Preliminary Inquiry Says www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/u...

DC is really seriously hurting. We need a mayor and council that embrace a pragmatic pro-growth agenda aligned with sensible environmental policymaking and social protections. Neither of the two leading candidates for the D mayoral primary strike this balance and I am very disappointed by that

I have mixed views on the supressed DC congestion pricing report dropping. Main observation is that I feel that any research done prior to 2025 is not going to be reflective of the city's current economic and budgetary crisis, and it would not be honest to act like it is

I am here for all the blistering state of the nation diatribes against these people

I don't know anything about oil/the oil markets/the oil trade (be warned: I am not asking you to explain these things to me) so would say my life online right now is "child of probably divorcing parents senses that maybe the vibes are becoming increasingly off at home?"

surprise to nobody

RUSSIA GETS: -Higher oil prices -Reduced US economic pressure -Bogged down US military -Air defense assets not sent to Ukraine US GETS: -Indefinite war in pursuit of undefined outcome -Weaker economy -Frayed international partnerships -Combat deaths

Exclusive: Russia is providing Iran with targeting information to attack American forces in the Middle East, the first indication that another major U.S. adversary is participating — even indirectly — in the war.

We bombed them. To do what? So we can bomb them. To do what? To facilitate strikes. To do what? To enable kinetic operations. To do what? To shape the battlefield. To do what? So we can bomb them.

U.S. forces likely bombed an Iranian elementary school on Feb. 28 during an operation targeting a nearby military base, a New York Times analysis suggests. It is the deadliest known episode of civilian casualties since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran — and no side has yet taken responsibility.

it’s really killing me that the math would have worked out if not for the four

Let this sink in. Four years ago, the US expected Ukraine to fall within days and even withheld military aid because they thought it’d be wasted. Today, the US — the most powerful nation on earth — is asking Ukraine for military aid. Never underestimate Ukraine. Arm them to win.

a wide ranging 12 minute phone call

I would contrast this statement with the amount of NYT headlines/push notifications about this race outcome that used 'disinfranchisement' and other terms to suggest that the race could be contested. Reality settled it all pretty quickly, but I think it hints at what story they were hoping to tell.

I've seen enough: James Talarico (D) wins the #TXSEN Dem primary.

big night for my preferences

I told myself I wouldn’t pay attention to this primary and I failed. Good luck to my guy today, you have fans in DC at least lol

at maybe the best bar in dc (iykyk) listening to a grizzled old southern man in a people’s march sweatshirt explain how to pronounce ‘niezche’ to another guy

We started a war with no clear goal, no exit strategy, no legitimate casus belli, no domestic legal authorization, no allies, and seemingly no real plan at all — and now, having done all that and unable to take it back, we're starting to worry if things could spin out of control.

Every time the sun comes out, I sit in it and smile and then I think of this @morganj0nes.bsky.social tweet. It's a big leaf day.

all wonderful news for Russia

sure jan

A "small, victorious war" - just what's needed for an unpopular president mired in corruption claims and questions about his capacity, facing a tricky election. But enough about 1990s Russian history; I wonder what the Trump administration is up to this week?

"No new wars" really just meant "f*ck Ukraine" and everyone knew it.

so it could be at 3AM EST

Just want to note that 3am in Washington is like 11:30am in Tehran. The American people are the ones he snuck up on in the dead of night to conduct this illegal attack, not the purported enemy.

I know we need all the help we can get but,,,, www.independent.co.uk/news/world/e...

Media ownership matters. Fox News was created in 1996. Musk bought Twitter in 2022.

A great rebuke from @nanagongadze.bsky.social about our constant, misplaced search for symbolic resistance in Russia kyivindependent.com/the-film-awa...

part of why my politics are specific the way they are is because I have lived in other places

Basically decided paranoia is a consequence of living through an era of consequence. www.economist.com/britain/2026...

Trying to get gmail to turn off that new feature where it tries to suggest to you edits to your writing. Stop asking me to be "more concise", you are suffocating my vibe and swag

“You finished those DC metro stations?” “Sure thing boss, beautiful, moodily lit and oddly unsettling, just like you asked.” “What?”

these were my feelings on the 4-year anniversary of the full scale invasion of ukraine.

our (horrible) local power company is Pepco which stands for potomac electric power company. I should hate them more but I can't get over how beautiful the words "Potomac Electric" sound next to each other, it is my personal Cellar Door

For what it's worth, I shared this because it is true - but being Ukrainian in the United States I see every day that there is a still lot of support for Ukraine and its struggle here. Many Americans work hard for this every day. It's all just outside the executive.

There are Ls everywhere for those with the eyes to see
