I'll tell you this for free, a lot of the people on the airwaves as Iran experts and Russia experts are the same people who got basically everything wrong on everything that has happened in the last 15 years. And yet, they are still on the airwaves presented as experts.

This is introspection

The closure of the Strait of Hormuz hurts the global economy and helps Russia fund its war. It is affecting our partners in the region and is dangerous for global energy supplies. (1/2)

not only is the president an idiot that believes the last thing someone said to him, now everybody has his fucking phone number www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Here's what Bellingcat has been up to this week: Bellingcat analysed imagery and reporting from the first days of the conflict with Iran to identify US, Israeli and Iranian munitions now being deployed. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...

Neguse demolishes Noem (2/2)

Emmanuel Damas, 56, died in ICE custody on Monday. Damas came to the U.S. from Haiti seeking asylum. After six months in ICE custody—the last four at CoreCivic's Florence Correctional Center—he died from complications from a tooth infection. A tooth infection. 1/3 tucson.com/news/local/b...

The whole Trump administration is just rooting around in complicated systems - regional balances of power, state legitimacy, funding for global health - and ripping wires out, and they've frankly been lucky that they've ripped out so many wires without electrocuting themselves. Won't last forever.

NEW. This is an elementary girls school in the city of Hormozgan in Iran. In the last hour, it was hit by a US/Israeli missile attack. So far, 24 young girls are confirmed dead [SOURCE: Al Jazeera]. The US has just committed a war crime. (🎥 Ary Jeay)

This is your regularly scheduled reminder to please take two seconds to check if that inflammatory post you’re about to share is factually accurate before sharing it. This is extra important in times of heightened stress and conflict, not less important.

Drug traffickers love private islands. Just say’n. Wyden: "The fact that Epstein was under investigation by the DOJ's OCDETF task force suggests that there was ample evidence indicating that Epstein was engaged in heavy drug trafficking and prostitution as part of cross-border criminal conspiracy.”

Per @umichvoter.bsky.social: Starr County, which is 95% Latino and voted for a Republican for the first time in a century in 2024, is now posting over 10,000 voters in the Democratic primary. For context: In the 2020 presidential primary, it had only 7,612 voters altogether

The Mayor's shovelers are on my block, so that's cool.

The ocean is terrifying and we should really leave it alone

Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below 🥹) RIP to the Voice of the Voiceless

*Green card application in process and work permit, married to US citizen *Lived in US for 20 years, no criminal record *In detention for five months with no charge, despite judge approving release *He disputes ICE claim that he signed forms agreeing to deportation

That’s Brett Ratner there on the right.

they gave back liam and his dad because somebody took a really well-framed picture and then put it in the newspaper until people got mad enough they couldn’t hold out so shutting out a guy who brings newspaper reporters to the atrocity seems kind of stupid huh

We use "ICE" as shorthand but ICE and CBP sometimes aren't even the majority of these patrols and strikes forces. It's everyone — ICE, CBP, FBI, FPS, SS, BOP, DEA, ATF, IRS, even Postal Inspectors

If you are planning to be involved in political action of any type, they have your name. The thing to do is make their lists useless by having so many names on them.

Trump launched an affordability-focused midterm campaign for Republicans this week, traveling to Iowa to give a speech about how good his presidency has been for the cost of living. That's going about as well as you'd think. Here POTUS is saying he is going to keep housing prices high.

"I'm coming to Boston and I'm bringing hell with me." --Homan in February "Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely." -- Tom Homan in March "I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room" -- Homan in July, referring to a D congressman

Just realized I have a longer version of this video. At the start, you can clearly see the feds piling out of the cars to attack Pretti and then spray pepper balls, antagonizing the crowd.

This is so incredibly heartbreaking. I can't believe that these atrocities are being inflicted on human beings by Trump, Miller, and the minions who obey. Humanity has left America

Just saw this, and it makes me wonder how you think you should still be in the United States Senate — let alone a Democrat — if you’re going to follow up the first two paragraphs with the third. This is a dead child, and your response sounds like Al Gore talking about Reinventing Government.

Greg Bovino will be leaving Minnesota as early as tomorrow.

seems like a widespread problem

A quirked-up white boy hits a monster dunk and pimps out his ICE OUT shirt We’re going to win

Completely agree with @miawong.bsky.social here. There were multiple videos out of Villegas Gonzalez’s murder the same day he was killed that contradicted ICE’s claims. bsky.app/profile/gbro...

Also there's this really cool tool where you can see how long it's been since your street was plowed plownyc.cityofnewyork.us/plownyc/

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

I just want to make it clear that it was *Border Patrol* agents who murdered Alex Pretti, and those fuckers murder people regularly here along the border. Renee Good´s murderer is also a former Border Patrol agent (currently ICE). Disband ALL the paramilitary groups and prosecute every member.

Keith Porter was shot and killed by an off duty ICE officer on New Years Eve in LA. The officer alleges Porter pulled a weapon on him but the family and other witnesses deny that. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

We still don't know the names of the ICE agents who killed Gonzàlez behind the wheel of his car outside Chicago in September. They were unmasked in this BWC footage from Franklin Park police. If you have any information at all about these men—please text us on Signal at unraveled.66

Marimar Martinez was the first US citizen shot by ICE. They claimed she was a terrorist. Said she was brandishing a weapon. They lied. Video footage exonerated her and showed the ICE agent shot her five times. He bragged to other agents “five shots, 7 holes”. A 🧵 of ICE abuse

Holding tightly to the hope that even the Mayor's municipal announcements bring me

This is a good start from @moulton.house.gov. He should be upset at his seven quisling Democratic House colleagues like @tomsuozzi.bsky.social and @gluesenkampperez.house.gov who just voted to fund DHS and ICE.

The people who'll tell you today's murder victim in Minnesota shouldn't have turned up to a protest carrying a gun are the same people who said Kyle Rittenhouse was perfectly entitled to do the same thing.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis. appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a legal gun owner with a concealed carry license, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

i do genuinely think we need to jail every single person currently working for ICE

Pay CLOSE attention to the wording in any DHS statements. DHS will say "armed suspect" DHS will say "approached officers with a gun" These are copaganda phrases to make it SOUND like the victim was holding or brandishing the weapon. He was not.
