"The attack came despite US intelligence assessments that Iran was unlikely to pose an immediate threat to the US mainland within the next decade." So why do it? "A weeks-long lobbying effort by Israel and Saudi Arabia..." Ah. Not just weak, but cheap, too. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

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

As US and Israeli bombs fell on Iran this weekend, bettors on Polymarket — where $529 million was traded on contracts tied to the timing of the strikes — were cashing in

70% - Trump isn't honest or trustworthy 56% - Trump is not mentally sharp enough 56% - Trump is not committed to our rights 62% - Trump's using the presidency to enrich himself (ht: @mmpadellan.bsky.social)

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

"Assemble the Board of Peace - I'm starting a war".

Television pioneer Fred Rogers, gone 23 years ago today. His acceptance speech for the Lifetime Achievement Emmy Award is always worth a watch. #RIP 💔

Before and after you sell your soul to the devil.

@hillaryclinton.bsky.social: "I don't understand why it's so difficult for the press to have a consistent narrative about how dangerous Trump is."

This is because the Pentagon and Trump don’t like Anthropic’s language preventing their tech from being used to surveil Americans or for autonomous weapons. Which means the Pentagon wants to use their tech to surveil Americans and build autonomous weapons apnews.com/article/anth...

This is psychotic.

How to understand war with Iran? We must get away from propaganda. Facts suggest two interpretive frameworks: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the United States. snyder.substack.com/p/why-attack...

🚨BREAKING: Democracy Docket has obtained a draft of the executive order being circulated with the White House that would allow Trump to take unprecedented control over voting. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

THEY’RE GOING TO STEAL THE ELECTION. In case you didn’t know already.

This is what they’re up to..We must stop them!

Democratic leaders think they are minority party of governing coalition, rather than opposition party to authoritarian regime.

As Kash Patel actively covers up the murders of Minnesotans, the Minnesota Wild GM invites him into the USA locker room. Awful look.

The US right making the men's hockey gold all about restored masculinity and American dominance is vomit inducing

Tonight’s state of the union.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes. $9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment….

The most corrupt president in history:

Last year, a note in the University of Chicago Law Review flagged a relatively obscure Supreme Court case as a potential threat to mail voting, noting that it could immunize the government from damages when postal workers steal or destroy mail ballots. Well, bad news ... slate.com/news-and-pol...

GOOD FOR AOC ❤️💙❤️ 👇

"The woman who directly named Trump in her abuse allegation claimed that around 1983, when she was around 13 yrs old, Epstein introduced her to Trump who subsequently forced her head down to his exposed penis which she subsequently bit. In response, Trump punched her in the head and kicked her out."

“Today, the people of Merrimack and all of New Hampshire proved that organized, local voices are more powerful than a federal agency’s ruthless expansion,” she said. “This is a victory for us and all of New England but it is not the end of the fight.” www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/24/m...

Believe the hype!

Bigger story: NO entire Olympic team has EVER attended any president’s SOTU address to Congress. Ever. So if the men’s hockey team attends, they are explicitly endorsing Donald Trump’s platform. Remember this idiom, guys: #ETTD

Without the dots, it looks like polygraph test results from a pathological liar.

"The U.S. Women's Hockey Team said it is declining President Donald Trump's invitation to attend his State of the Union address, a day after the president jokingly told the U.S. men's hockey team that he would be impeached if he didn't also invite the women's team."

Stop trying to make like there's some kind of grand strategy or secret plan at work. It's not that. Truly. It's the simplest thing you can possibly imagine. Don't think "four-dimensional chess" Think "toddler + cheerios" www.nytimes.com/2026/02/22/b...

Demented grandpa sundowning posting again, time to take away his electronics. 🤣

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

It’s no surprise then that these Milan Cortina Games, which may be remembered for a lot of reasons, should go down in history for one very specific reason: This one was for the moms.

I'm most certainly not one to suggest the suppression of free speech, but I'm almost certainly not one to suggest that organizations shouldn't respond to gravely offensive speech. At first I thought there was no way this account was from an official univ. group, but this post actually is from (1/)
