Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi: From outset of this war, U.S. soldiers fled military bases in GCC to hide in hotels and offices. They use GCC citizens as human shield. Hotels in U.S. deny bookings to officers who may endanger customers. GCC hotels should do same.

abolish citizenship

really a missed opportunity that the authors of the california wealth tax measure did not call it the Epstein Class Tax

tfw, retreat is reported as “remote work” lol

neoliberalism does indeed largely have a stranglehold on the Dem Party, it’s true

The NYT purposefully mischaracterized the position of the AMA to make it seem like they changed policy and opposed gender affirming care on trans youth. It appears they have rejected efforts by the AMA to correct the record.

don’t think anyone argues cringeness or earnestness are the issues, the critique is not that people should not be out in the street, it’s that we march, wave flags, chant, etc. & do nothing to challenge power where is matters. irony & coolness is a strawman argument.

the Rules this society professes have always been a farce tho periods swing from acute contradiction & crisis to “progress” & return to stability & implied agreement as to the illusion. with this period of hegemonic collapse, “progress” is off the table as incompatible with maintaining capital rule

been a long time since i set foot in a courtroom, but not sure ive ever seen a court send a preservation notice? lol

what’s remarkable here is he needs a script to ramble incoherently

we need a word for the unbelievable levels of fascistic cringe we are living thru

immigration “law” is so weird bc in most areas of the law a defendant having policy to violate the law isnt a valid excuse but instead evidence of culpability

i posted this a couple of days ago but this is pure paternalistic puritanism. the law already allows SF landlords to evict tenants for nuisance behavior. you won’t read it in the @sfchronicle.com but this is about diverting public contracts to dorsey’s buddies in the salvation army.

more than electing this or that politician, pass the wealth tax, it scares the ruling class far more than any person on the ballot

recs for things to see/do in berlin?

Catch-22 gets thrown around a lot but this is like literally a line out of the book

kids: what’s a check?

fitting demonstration of US immigration policy

i feel like it must be a uniquely US phenomena that the media blames passengers for the failings of public transit rather than, ya know, the government responsible for funding, maintaining, and delivering the transit to the public in this case @sfchronicle.com

you see me wearing this shit you should chop my head clean off like a samurai

giants not doing great

WSJ reporter Alex Ward: At least 3 congressional Republicans—including chairs of House and Senate Armed Services—are strongly hinting that a ground operation in Iran is planned and could potentially be underway soon.

According to documents filed this morning by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of NY, ICE has been lying for a year — not only to the public, but to the courts and to prosecutors — about being authorized to make arrests at 26 Federal Plaza and other immigration courts. (1/2)

that he split the short quote over 2 posts is the most galling thing here

what do you call a large group of ice agents?

pittance was evidence of financial condition already presented to jury during initial presentation of evidence? if not, seems way too quick for jury to hear evidence, deliberate, and reach a verdict

so this reporting confirms what i was posting earlier ( @politico.com reported $3M in punitive damages was awarded in the verdict)

are we putting something in the hole or

A convoy of people who traveled to Cuba from the U.S. to ‘break the siege’ were detained on reentry into the U.S., their phones seized, and they were told their phones would be shipped at a later date. Those detained include activist & Amazon Labor Union cofounder Chris Smalls.

sum up the sopranos in a headline:

barf bags extra

. @politico.com . @theguardian.com

i mean c’mon! politico v guardian

according to politico, the la jury $3M award in the meta/google case is for punitives, which is a pittance. npr story i initially read seemed to suggest punitives had not yet been awarded. should just read the judgment when entered

oooh, the fascism trifecta

shhh

tbf, his whole career depends on people making the distinction he is advocating

surprised jsoc hasnt scooped this up for “enhanced interrogation” purposes

“crowd control” is newspeak for “attacking the public”

uh, yeah

Word has apparently somehow switched its spellcheck to Spanish and now it’s flags every word as misspelled and suggests spanish spellings.

an interesting idea of “fun” but ok

aside from everything else, the arrogance of US politicos thinking and speaking like they consider themselves the parents of the world is apparent. the illusion of US supremacy cannot end soon enough

france24 hosting a debate on europe housing prices with one yimby parrot and one speaker pointing out real causes of speculation, vacancies, lack of public investment. will say the yimby speaker at least has a more nuanced, reality based argument than the hyper-ideologues we have here.

A new analysis suggests that at least half of the ICE arrests that occurred in and around S.F. were at routine immigration appointments. Those arrests were at private ICE field offices and, unlike the courthouse arrests, hidden from public scrutiny. missionlocal.org/2026/03/sf-i...
