I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

A report out today said that Russia's war on Ukraine has emitted over 400 million metric tons of CO2, which is roughly equivalent to all diesel engines on earth running nonstop for a year. Multiple reports this week suggest the carbon emissions of our war on Iran will be significantly higher.

BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers. This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight. (🎥 Vahid Online)

there is no opposition party in the U.S.

having flashbacks to the NY-10 primary where too many progressives split the vote and we ended up with Dan Goldman. some folks who actually give a damn about keeping fascists out of power need to drop the hell out.

Abolish ICE is the moderate position.

Outside Minneapolis City Hall, two protesters blocked a van labeled with “Midwest Plumbing” decals advertising a disconnected phone number. The driver pointed a pistol at them. One of the armed men shot pepperballs into the crowd. The men weren’t federal agents. They were bounty hunters.

Any basic opposition party would be pointing this out on the regular by the way and promising it if put into power. “We will stop bombing brown people, abolish ICE, release the Epstein files, reform the Supreme Court, and give Americans healthcare and UBI” is 💯 a winner BUT NO.

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors. My report:

Platner’s former campaign team know something’s wrong - they all quit. They know he would lose in the general election. Janet Mills needs to make him lose in the primary instead. And she can, just by demanding his records. He won’t show them - he can’t. Confront him with that. 7/

Platner as the nominee in Maine would make it harder for national Democrats to tear into this fucking guy. No Nazi shit. Stop fucking around.

I will once again reiterate that the window is closing very fast to primary Gottheimer, signatures are due on the 26th at 4 pm for Congress

If it’s true that the United States bombed an elementary school and killed scores of children it is an unfathomable crime. I have never been more disgusted to be an American.

Democrats should put hold on vote for new DHS secy until ICE demands are met.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there. They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

There has to be a special election to fill this seat at the next general election, so in November. The governor will appoint someone within the next 30 days to hold the seat until then. Progressives in OK have a once in a lifetime chance given this climate to flip that seat.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist. He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

Too bad there's no opposition party that could run a 48 hour Youtube telethon program with 48 elected officials each programming one hour to point out the awfulness of the war on Iran. That would definitely not get any media or other attention.

Perhaps the guests could include former enlisted military members pointing out the bullshit. Perhaps folks trapped in countries across the world because the State Dept cannot plan could be asked to call in... Perhaps Iranians who oppose the war could be featured...

Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline. I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate. Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.

So, the take away here? The US Military intentionally targeted a girl's school in Tehran with the goal as killing as many as possible. people.com/nearly-200-k...

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence. And then he bragged about it on X later.

I am educating my brother about Hoopla and Libby. He wanted me to help him buy him an audiobook on Spotify and I said, "But, WAIT! Do you have a library card? Cause, that audiobook you want to listen to? The library has the whole series! For freeeeeee!!!"

McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

Congress needs to act NOW to rein in Trump’s warmongering. I fully support @kaine.senate.gov's war powers resolution.

“If [wealthy, powerful people] can get us to accept that the future’s already settled, AI is already here, the end is already here, then we will create that for them. My most daring idea is to refuse.” — @tressiemcphd.bsky.social

When Bluesky was down today I went back to Twitter and was punched in the face by the stench of abandoned aquarium. Milo Yiannopoulos, who I honestly thought was dead, stanning Hillary Clinton. Dem flaks earnestly retweeting Nick Fuentes. It’s time to cordon off anyone left and introduce alligators.

He MUST be impeached. He must.

Maybe it’s a bad idea to put people in charge of government who are eager for the rapture.

Once again the MAGA Supreme Court justices have put partisan politics over impartial justice. But now the race for NY-10 is set. We’re up against an AIPAC-aligned multi-millionaire who bought his seat and we’re building a people’s movement to take it back. It’s time to fight, not fold. LFG.

We are being led by mad christofascists who bombed Iran to bring about the book of Revelation oh joy.

for those of you who werent adults during iraq, its hard to overstate how much the media loves war porn. they salivate over pentagon spin briefings. they love stories about all the bombs and how supposedly infallible they are. they love the notion of the commander in chief, in the situation room etc

These motherfuckers deliberately target schools for violence HERE. I sure as shit believe they targeted schools elsewhere too.

we have a psychotic, murderous, christian nationalist as secretary of defense

I genuinely cannot get over him launching a war from his house in Palm Beach.

Let’s all call Massie today and get him to switch parties. Then force Gonzalez to resign. Then get the gavel, issue some subpoenas, and impeach some motherfuckers

Platner sat for lengthy interview with antisemitic conspiracy theorist, said he was ‘longtime fan’ of his show - www.yahoo.com/news/article... (by Jewish Insider) via @yahoonews.com

The costs of this Iran war debacle will likely be more than the cost of extending the ACA health insurance subsidies. If you asked Americans, which do you want: another war in the Middle East or lower health care costs at home, is the margin 90 to 10? 95 to 5?

URGENT: Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna are using a discharge petition to force a vote on stopping Trump's war in Iran. We've beat Mike Johnson BAD with discharge petitions before—and we'll do it again! Tell your Rep. to sign on right now:

Trump did this. And I'm upset to see some Dems this morning backtracking on this as if the "collateral damage" is excusable because Iran's leader was murdered. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Just wanted to make sure this wasn't lost. The connection between Epstein, the Dubins, and Mount Sinai Hospital. Vile stuff. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/u...

This is so deeply corrupt www.nytimes.com/2026/03/01/u...

Seems to be the pattern…

“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.” James Baldwin

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now. Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

He's a monster assembling his own axis of evil who want to kill babies in their quest for wars of real estate. He needs to be impeached the second you can do it.
