Everywhere you look, Trump, his family members, his donors, his political supporters & his cronies are looting the US treasury, getting paid by foreign entities for policy favors, & getting no bid contracts. Criminal cases are dropped and convictions pardoned. The US govt is an ongoing crime scene.

So 70’s L.A. Willie Nelson, Sally Field, Burt Reynolds, Richard Pryor & Robin Williams at The Laugh Factory in 1977.

"logic of Musk’s empire is total. X shapes the discourse. Grok automates it. Grokipedia rewrites the historical record. Starlink can deliver it all, everywhere, to everyone. Each layer reinforces the others. It’s not about winning arguments in the public sphere. It’s about building a replacement."

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces. 249 years later, we have this idiot.

Pete Shelley’s Buzzcocks work is rightly lauded but less discussed is his solo work and effect on electronic music. The album ‘Homosapien’ was produced by Martin Rushent who also produced ‘Dare’ by Human League and used techniques from ‘Homosapien’ on it 🎯👌 #PeteShelley youtu.be/2HwmO_GZfzI?...

Gender affirming care.

IT ABSOLUTELY THE FUCK IS NOT

There has never been any association

JD Vance is on a historic roll: He campaigns for AfD in Germany - they lose. Invited the Pope to come to US for Trump’s big event - Pope refuses. Leads peace negotiations with Iran - fails miserably. Campaigns in Hungary for Orbán - who gets smoked.

We have gone from "the US doesn't need the Strait of Hormuz, Europe does, they should open it, it will open naturally" to "good news, Iran is opening the Strait of Hormuz (for a toll)" to "the toll is illegal and we will blockade the Strait of Hormuz because the United States will not be extorted"

So now we go back to bombing them until they agree to the deal Obama had that Trump tore up… and open up the strait that was open before we attacked them? Continuing a war we “already won”? Do we have that right?

An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

The military must not follow any orders to destroy "a whole civilization." Sane members of Congress should say this loudly now.

He has nukes. He is a damaged fool. Stop him. Remove him.

If you’ve never called your congressional reps before, do it right now.

I predicted someone like Trump many years ago, in THE DEAD ZONE. So now I'm saying this--in the next 12-16 months, we're going to find out if the two machines for the removal of a man unable to fulfill his duties actually work. They are impeachment and the 25th amendment. He is deeply unwell .

There is no excuse for downplaying or eliding the insanity of Trump’s morning post. It is the most unhinged public comment by a president in US history and should be reported and remarked upon as such.

Remember when Dan Quayle misspelled a word and it was the end of his political career?

Pete Hegseth is a white supremacist who is trying to re-segregate the military

With regard to our berobed and beshitted Justice Alito: If the Founders had no capacity to conceive of illegal immigration, then they also had not the imagination to conceptualize automatic weapons. Originalism is and always was a pathetic, desperate lie of miserable, ideological shitheels.

Darker Waves 2026! www.buzzcocks.com/events/2026/...

A history of the top marginal tax rates on the wealthiest Americans: 1940: 81% 1950: 84% 1960: 91% 1970: 72% 1980: 70% 1990: 28% 2000: 40% 2010: 35% For 50 years, corporate backed politicians in Congress have slashed taxes to line the pockets of their wealthy donors.

— The US-Israeli war against Iran is not a NATO operation. — No NATO allies were consulted beforehand. — The US did not invoke Article 5 of the NATO charter for the simple reason that it hadn't been attacked. — NATO allies are under no obligation to assist the US. QED.

This may be the most powerful 85 seconds I've ever seen on television.

Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Tesla paid just 4.9% of their profits in federal corporate taxes in 2025. They have seen their collective tax bill drop by $95B thanks to two rounds of Trump tax cuts. Meanwhile, they've laid off thousands of workers. Trickle-down economics was always a scam.

Concentration camps. Use the term. Do not stop using the term until this current American regime falls and the camps are liberated. Then use the term in The Hague. This is Trumpism. This is white nationalism. This is he moral gutter into which America has fallen.

The fact that so many Americans continue to believe that the GOP is "better on the economy" is testament to the GOP's ability to peddle lies as truth. Over and over, the GOP tanks the economy and Democrats rescue it, only to have the next GOP Administration tank it again.

It's interesting to watch Trump's support crumble with people who are losing their minds over Cluster B Personality disorder symptoms/characteristics that the Mental Health field have been warning about for a decade. 1/

Feel like these two tweets sum up where we are right now

Joe Kent’s reason for resigning chimes in with a Guardian report that a deal with Iran was within reach a month ago: One diplomat with knowledge of the talks said: “We regarded Witkoff and Kushner as Israeli assets that dragged a president into a war he wants to get out of.”

A century of soft power squandered in a year by the stupid, spoiled son of a Klansman.

The day begins with a former Fox host turned Trump administration official ranting at the media over his own failings and ends with a former Fox host turned Trump administration official ranting at a judge over her own failings.

Everyone should do this!

This administration has bollixed the Strait of Hormuz and sent gas prices soaring, yet _still_ wants to wage holy war against fuel-efficiency and emissions requirements? Sheer insanity.

One of the things that really trips a lot of analysts, including ones with real skin in the game, is that they refuse - absolutely refuse - to accept how stupid Trump very obviously is. He has no knowledge of anything, is incapable of learning, and only remembers the last thing to happen to him.

48 years ago today Another Music in a Different Kitchen is the first studio album by the English punk rock band Buzzcocks, released on this day in 1978 includes the single "I Don't Mind". #punk #punks #punkrock #oldschoolpunk #buzzcocks #history #punkrockhistory #otd

Marco Rubio hanging out with Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio at the "Shield of the Americas" event, in case you were still thinking it had some sort of legitimate purpose

I think it's great that the president put on his most solemnly branded baseball cap to receive the returning coffins of soldiers killed in the unnecessary war he launched to distract from his failing presidency and pedophilia scandal. Look at that gold-like letting. Classy as shit.

Wrote with @swin24.bsky.social about how the White House is posting fascist memes about GTA and Call of Duty to make themselves laugh about their war as it threatens to blow up the global economy zeteo.com/p/trump-iran...

That Iranian Navy ship we torpedoed had no ammunition on board because that was a requirement to participate in the MILAN 2026 exercise (organized by the Indian Navy). The US Navy knew this because IT ALSO PARTICIPATED IN THE EXERCISE. What a national embarrassment. newrepublic.com/post/207429/...

Americans are dead. Prices are skyrocketing. The Middle East is on fire. Civil war is brewing in Iran. And for what? A war that will leave the same hardliners in charge? A war that can't actually destroy their nuclear program? This is incompetence. Plain and simple.

An analysis by NPR strongly suggests that the Pentagon used seriously outdated maps to plan the bombing, hitting both the school and a nearby medical center in a raid that appears to have been intended to hit a nearby IRGC base. www.npr.org/2026/03/04/n...
