exciting opportunity here to ask questions of one of said experts!

Poland‘s rightwing president Nawrocki opposes the EU‘s SAFE program for European rearmament (although 🇵🇱 could receive more than 40 billion € from it). My take: He helps the US undermine European efforts at (more) independence from US weapons supplies. www.politico.eu/article/wash...

“If we look at kids who are immunocompromised, they are relying on the community to protect them…..They rely on community immunity. They rely on having a 95% vaccination coverage shield so they do not catch the measles." Another reason why RFK Jr’s repulsive anti-vaccine crusade is so dangerous 😢

Archaeologist @flintdibble.bsky.social explains how the media has always platformed pseudo-archaeology. It's seen as less insidious than climate change denial or anti-vaccine sentiments. 🗣️ "They've never not been like this." Clip: youtube.com/shorts/TeS6D... Full: youtube.com/watch?v=LUEU... ⚛️🧪

The commission's report cited a 2022 @nmindepth.bsky.social and ProPublica investigation that found Native students in New Mexico were disproportionately punished, with the Gallup-McKinley district — which has the nation's largest Indigenous student body — largely responsible.

OPINION: Eight of our American service members are dead and more than 140 wounded because Iran's military has suddenly gotten really good at targeting our soldiers, airmen, and marines.

We all know why….

I really wanted to know more about Renee Good, killed by ICE in January. Fortunately, my editor allowed me to take some time to do a deep dive into who she was before she died. Read and listen to what I found out about her from her Colorado tribe here: www.cpr.org/2026/03/11/r...

LOL she admits that the reason she loses so often is because she prosecutes way more shitty cases.

Impeach and court martial this moron

notice how the press helps Sam Altman pretend that he's not just some sort of sage hybrid sociologist/philosopher, but he's an outsider to the problems his bad choices cause

"In the abstract, it’s easy to convince a lot of people that it’s the height of manly fortitude to extol your own sadism as loudly as he does. "In practice, it looks not just immoral but pathetic: killing little girls and not even having the guts to admit it." www.salon.com/2026/03/13/p...

This is the world RFK Jr dreamed of when he ran the anti-vaxx activist group Children's Health Defense earning $500k/y Now running the US health system he can make his dreams come true "Since the start of 2025, the CDC has recorded over 3,500 measles cases—more than in the entire preceding decade"

“The timing couldn’t be worse” Tennessee farmers have been squeezed by Trump’s trade war - now they’re getting hit by his Iran War 🧑‍🌾

Markwayne Mullin on the attempted deportation of Liam Ramos, a 5-year-old child of an undocumented immigrant in Minneapolis: "This story that they’re blowing up about this 5-year-old kid is so false, is so untrue that honestly, there probably should be some lawsuits filed against this."

"The American people can accept honest mistakes. They can accept fog-of-war judgment calls. What we as a nation should not accept is moral drift at the top of the chain of command."

"It is Talarico who is presented as both a danger to the country and, perhaps more importantly, to Christianity itself. It’s Talarico’s calls for compassion and humility that will put both the viability of American society and the integrity of the Christian faith at risk."
