UN votes to recognise enslavement of Africans as 'gravest crime against humanity' The proposal was adopted with 123 votes in favour and three against - the **United States, Israel** and Argentina. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

Not so marvelous news. ~95,000 scientists have left the federal government since the Trump regime took over.

And here we are..... [gift article]

Surely not! Corruption in Trumpland?!

They knew before the announcement.

And of course, the Senate confirmed him.

Massive TSA chaos at NYC’s LaGuardia Airport today — endless lines, missed flights, pure frustration. Not an accident: Republicans are blocking Democratic bills to fund TSA while ICE negotiations continue. Travelers are suffering because the GOP won’t pass “clean” TSA pay. ✈️😡

Robert Mueller, a tribute open.substack.com/pub/weissman...

Too many news outlets continue to frame their coverage of POTUS as if there's a strategy, a rationale underpinning this. It's obvious there is not, and never has been - for a decade. Just his disordered, real-time reaction to tweets, Fox, late-night TV, and the Dow.

The president who fired hundreds of thousands of federal workers is nonetheless spending far more every day than his predecessors. www.pbump.net/o/trump-like...

Taking care of business. We need to do this and move on.

We need a governor focused on lowering costs for Ohioans, not on jetting off to Puerto Rico with campaign funds to hang out with TikTok stars. Ohioans are struggling — and Vivek couldn't care less. meidasnews.com/news/vivek-r...

After years of delay, the January 6 plaque is up in the Capitol - but it’s hidden in the basement. They can try to hide it, but we will not forget. We will continue to loudly honor the truth & the heroic officers who protected and defended this building, our democracy, and those who serve here.

Rep. Adam Smith to @gregsargent.bsky.social: "Put the goddamn taxes back on the table. You want war, you want a military of this size? Then fuckin' pay for it. It makes me angry." Full episode: newrepublic.com/article/2080...

This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.

Remember when all the Republican mouthpieces assured Americans that no one would lose health insurance due to Trump's Orwellian-named "Big Beautiful Bill"? Over 2 million Americans have already lost coverage. That's from the facts, not a prediction. www.huffpost.com/entry/millio...

The people who cancelled Jimmy Kimmel after Charlie Kirk's assassination will now control television stations that reach 80% of Americans, twice that what was legally allowed before Trump's takeover. The state capture of network television is almost complete.

Dictatorships are always more fragile than they try to seem. If anything, the president has deeply underestimated his legal and political peril. trib.al/Yr5nM0H

Iran offered to give away ALL of its enriched uranium during peace talks in Geneva. The British thought it was a credible offer. Hours later, Trump started bombing Iran anyway. The US didn't want peace, they wanted war.

Kash Patel refused to deny that the FBI is buying up Americans' location data. This is a shocking end run around the 4th amendment and exactly why we need to pass real privacy reforms NOW.

“Saving” America is what the pawns who sacked the Capitol for Trump were told they were doing. It’s the same rhetoric, again.

"The speed with which American democracy is currently dismantled is unprecedented in modern history," one of the world's top democracy researchers says in a new report. I wrote about it here for CNN: www.cnn.com/2026/03/18/m...

NEW: Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche is blocking the DEA from releasing an unredacted document from the Epstein files about an investigation involving drug trafficking & money laundering, according to a letter @wyden.senate.gov sent to Blanche Tuesday www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

CNBC on new bad inflation data: "It's almost the worst of all worlds. I guess stagflation would come close to describing the situation."

New in PN: Trump wants to bribe energy companies to kill wind energy "Trump’s irrational loathing for wind turbines is so all-encompassing that he hopes to buy TotalEnergy off with taxpayer dollars & ensure that, even if a Democrat succeeds him, wind energy projects will have to start from scratch"

1/10 Did you know ur tax dollars are being weaponized in a new way? Official public diplomacy projects are routing cash to build MAGA-aligned political networks across Europe. This isn't foreign aid. It is a massive state-backed influence operation #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Absolutely astonishing. I don't think many people realize the extent to which the scientific enterprise in America has collapsed over the past 14 months. As someone who covered science funding for the first half of his career, it's almost unfathomable this could happen.

Genuinely just bonkers to watch the USA do this to one of the most successful and innovative hubs of scientific research the world has ever seen. All those years of Free Speech On Campus debates and it turns out they actually wanted less cancer research. Absurd.

The next question should be DO YOU HAVE A COMMENT ON THE SIX SERVICE MEMBERS WHO PASSED? And if he dodges that, the next question should be DO YOU HAVE A COMMENT ON THE SIX SERVICE MEMBERS WHO PASSED?

Getting rid of dark money would be one good start. Paying their damned taxes would be another. We can do both. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Screaming at the top of my lungs: The Founders saw a free and independent press as a fourth and necessary check against government power, one that could check them all. Any government against a free and independent press is against the very essence of American democracy.

Even the conservative Wall Street Journal understands the havoc wealth inequality is wreaking on our economy and society. It’s far past time to unrig the system. https://www.wsj.com/finance/billionaires-low-taxes-are-becoming-a-problem-for-the-economy-27a560ca

An actual post by the sitting President of the United States. 🤬

There it is…

This article tells the story of what researchers have been going through over the past 14 months. As funding dries up, professors struggle to keep people employed and to keep doing the work. The Trump Administration is destroying so much science in this country. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/u...

It's the Progressive movement Part II

The most pathetic thing you'll see today. Here's President Bone Spurs trying to pretend he went to one of the military academies. I've no doubt millions of his followers will believe it.

“This technology disrupts humanities-trained—largely Democratic—voters, and makes their economic power less. And increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working-class, often male, working-class voters.” —Palantir CEO Alex Karp newrepublic.com/post/207693/...

DISTRACTIONS DON’T WORK. COVERUPS WON’T WORK. NOT EVEN WAR. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

Wisconsin specific PSA: deadline to register to vote in the Supreme Court race is coming up mid-March. 1. Even if you think you’re registered, verify. 2. If you plan to register by mail: the deadline is 3/18 but *MAKE SURE TO DO IT DAYS EARLY* because new USPS rules: boltsmag.org/usps-postmar...

Enrique Tarrio and other Proud Boys were convicted of seditious conspiracy. Trump pardoned them. Tarrio and his men planned the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Tarrio even claimed credit for it, messaging others: “Make no mistake…We did this…” Now he’s meeting with Sec. Rubio.

WATCH: Lindsey Burke wrote Project 2025’s chapter on education. Now she’s helping to run the Education Department. ProPublica looked at how she and other advisers are realizing their vision of a dramatic decline in public education.

“On behalf of a grateful Congress, this plaque honors the extraordinary individuals who bravely protected and defended this symbol of democracy on January 6, 2021. Their heroism will never be forgotten.” — Me

Make no mistake: the AI boom, and data center construction it requires, is nothing more than a massive giveaway to Big Tech oligarchs at the expense of our environment and our states’ public resources. Our leaders should put communities before Big Tech's bottom lines.
