...And they both have awful voters enabling them.

Civilizations throughout history have had to deal with the consequences of a ruler who is a malignant aging despot sliding into dementia. I guess now it’s our turn.

Hey remember when all you amoral racists who can’t spell “you’re” told us that Trump was the anti-war candidate, bc the billionaires who control right wing media told you to think that? Billionaires got their tax cut. We got wars. Now go figure how to pay for groceries rent & medicine this month.

The American bombardment of Iran has been launched without explanation, without Congress, without public support. Above all it has been launched without a coherent strategy for the Iranian people, and without a plan to let them build a legitimate Iranian state. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.

Trump 2.0 is doing all the things that critics feared he would do in Trump 1.0.

I am hopeful that the war in Iran will bring needed democratic change to … the United States of America.

"This is not a preemptive war. It is a war of choice, a discretionary war. It is a war for regime change. Many of Iran’s 92 million people want the regime removed. But it is far from certain that this will be the outcome."

Look where so many people falling for the excuse that “it was only locker room talk” has gotten us.

Another forever war because people can’t bring themselves to vote for women…

Running your war from a private club for millionaires — ahead of a $1 million-a-plate dinner — is a choice.

Donald Trump: "There will be no new wars." Republicans: "Yay!" Donald Trump: "There will be many, many new wars." Republicans: "Yay!"

Not a hoax

So just to be clear - Hegseth’s Pentagon is shooting down our own drones with lasers in Texas — but they want Anthropic to put fully autonomous killer robots in their hands? What could go wrong?

No notes.

This is amazing. www.getyourfuckingmoneyback.com

If you watch one single clip this week, let it be this one. And watch the whole thing. This isn't a game. This isn't about politics. This is about how corruption is destroying millions of American lives.

This is how you do it. Rebuke the tools, too.

This is one of the reasons why generational change matters. Cost of housing + childcare (and how one affects the other!) when you're in your 20s/30s/40s are not abstract problems for someone else. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/27/m...

I think @normative.bsky.social made this point yesterday, but once you get beyond the outrage of the brutality of the original “arrest” here, you also have to confront the fact that a D.A. CHOSE TO PROSECUTE THIS and a judge SENTENCED HIM TO A YEAR IN JAIL. Total system fail. WTF

LEFT: Trump’s DHS just lied again. RIGHT: Wash post with video proof. Another man dead. father of 2, nearly blind, dropped off in the cold outside a closed coffee shop. They lied that it was warm & open. Without accountability it will happen again. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

2001 Getty Images photo of Virginia Giuffre (maiden name Roberts) with Ghislaine Maxwell at a party in St. Tropez. The juxtaposition of the different people really drives it home. She looks so young.

While the Sec'y "of War" threatens Anthropic for not capitulating on its two safety requirements for licensing its AI for military use... Hegseth is an unserious moron, and the fish rots from the head.

A big thank you to Anthropic! After a weeks-long standoff between the Defense Department and AI firm Anthropic over how the military can deploy its technology, CEO Dario Amodei said tonight that the company will not loosen its usage policies.

I think we need to take a step back and acknowledge the absurdity of House Republicans targeting their Epstein investigation on HILLARY CLINTON (who says she never met him!) while ignoring DONALD TRUMP (who Epstein described as his best friend!) These are not serious people or good faith actors.

NEW YORK — “growing outrage” after a nearly blind refugee father dropped off by border patrol and left to find his way home in the cold was found dead

Johnson lied his way into Vietnam with the second Gulf of Tonkin "attack" in 1964. Bush Jr. and Co. lied its way into Iraq with WMDs in 2002. There has never been an administration that lies more than this one, so... Congress will be to blame if this goes forward.

🇺🇸 🏒 Captain hilary knight : “The joke was distasteful & unfortunate— Now I have to sit in front of you and explain someone else's behavior. It's not my responsibility… It’s a great teaching point to really shine light on how women should be championed for their amazing feats.”

Both Donald Trump and his Slovene-born escort spent years calling for Obama’s birth certificate. I am calling for Melania Trump’s legal immigration papers: How did she get an “Einstein” visa for extraordinary abilities despite her blatant lie under oath about her college degrees?

Trans people are not a threat to anyone, but Kansas Republicans are….

If another country suspects that Americans have drugs on their boat are they allowed to blow it up and kill everyone too, or are only we allowed to do that?

JD Vance will never escape his wife abuser vibes.

Trump's so corrupt, people may have forgotten the 2018 NYT investigation into @$500 million in TRUMP FAMILY TAX FRAUD. One family alone. His sister, a federal judge, retired rather than face the judicial misconduct investigation. She got full pension, natch. How much did his 2024 voters care?

This is the FBI 302 in which a woman recounts her accusation that Epstein lulled her with the promise of a babysitting job only to drug and rape her. She says he tried to get her to recruit other girls her age. (She was 13 or 14). www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

In my free Stop the Presses newsletter last year, I wrote about how weasel-wording by the NY Times and other outlets puts a soft sheen on the Republican plot to establish a dictatorship. This is a huge failure of American journalism. We need to demand better. 4/4🧵

There are some fifty critical pages missing. It's a crime to cover up a crime.

Thruline to Trumpism: Johnson's Gulf of Tonkin lie. (TX Dem) Nixon's Watergate. Ford pardoning Nixon. Reagan's incredibly regressive economic policies. Hiding Alzheimer's. Bush Sr. and Willie Horton. Nepo Bush Jr. and Co. lying their way into Iraq. They were spared consequences; we were not.

It's also what maturity and character look like.

Truer words have rarely been spoken.

Tommy Robinson visited the US State Department today at the invite of the Trump administration. He's Britain's most prominent far-right street thug with criminal convictions for assault, violence, fraud, stalking & harassment. He was jailed in 2012 for trying to enter the US with a false passport.
