Hey, @washingtonpost.com: Fuck off. Repubilcans started this. You thought it was fine when they did. Oh, and you don't beat a bully by giving in. cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thu...

Come on, Dems, propose the arch raffle: Buy a cheap ticket to donate to the nominee's campaign, have a chance to push the button and implode this monstrosity.

American politicians say the right things, usually, about the Constitution, but few actually care about it very much. Same with the Supreme Court. Wait, I repeated myself.

I will promise here and now to vote for the Democratic candidate who assures us all that a lucky winner of a raffle will get to push the button and blow this thing sky high.

Here are Colorado Democrats, making it easier for corporations to screw agriculture workers out of a fair paycheck.

If you are a billionaire, then you do not pay enough taxes. That is, to me, a straightforward and rough way to decide whether our tax system is fair.

If you are a Democratic candidate and you are not promising, with no qualifications, Nuremberg-style trials for Trump and his flunkies and lackeys, then you probably do not deserve my vote.

Today was a great day for science and for space exploration.

This was satire ten years ago. Reality today, more or less . . .

If the cease fire empowers Iran as much as it seems to have done, then Donald Trump just strengthened one of our nation’s most persistent and determined enemies. That means we are all less safe than we were six weeks ago.

Whatever the cease fire says, the Iranian government is still appallingly evil. It is still killing innocent people and crushing freedom. Anyone who admires that regime is misguided.

Maybe the good that comes out of Trump’s ineptitude with Iran is that the U.S. will completely get out of the Middle East, that land of eternal hate, and forget about trying to control it.

By the day after tomorrow, three-quarters of Americans will have completely forgotten that our president threatened to murder every Iranian in an armageddon-like war crime. And, by November, the entire war will be memory-holed. With, of course, the help of the corporate media.

Whoa 🤯 The Moon, in full eclipse, with the #Artemis II Orion spacecraft. Part of the Moon and spacecraft are lit by Earthshine, and both Saturn and Mars are visible to the lower right. Incredible. Details: images.nasa.gov/details/art0...

Polis sucks.

The speed at which the Department of Justice employees literally threw away Pam Bondi tells you everything you need to know about how despised she was by career officials.

It is one thing to have concerns about, or even oppose, the war in Iran. It's another to be supportive of the Iranian government. The first is reasonable. The second is not.

During the past week I've read a book and watched a movie that pushed me to think more deeply about the dangers of the time in which we live. (1)

The Army Corps of Engineers will stop regulating wetlands nationwide after a 2023 US Supreme Court ruling reduced the scope of the Clean Water Act, an agency official said this week.

The Middle East would be a safer, more prosperous, more tolerant place without the despotic regime in Tehran spreading hate, terrorism, conflict, and violence. It's one thing to criticize U.S. planning for the war, but it's another to blame the U.S. for the malign government of that country.

Hey, MLB Players Association, FYI . . . #baseball #labor #sports

The nation is at war. One of our armed forces, the Coast Guard, is unfunded. Congress is on vacation, anyway. Is this a joke?

This is awesome. But they should get teenagers around LA to play the trumpet at home games!

This 1990 speech by Carl Sagan is timely times two: #war #climate

This is a brilliant campaign ad.

Pope Leo is a good man and I am gratified by his efforts to encourage decency.

I wrote a lot about Bob Mueller across a lot of chapters of his career. I wanted to share two @wired.com pieces that I wrote about his defining life experiences—both a picture of an era of public service all but lost today: 1) His brave *voluntary* service in Vietnam: www.wired.com/story/robert...

Another pro-oil Democrat.

I still get text messages and emails from candidates and organizations seeking political donations. And I keep on working to stop all of them. No money to Democrats or their allied organizations because they do little or nothing to deserve it. Be unaffiliated and extract yourself from the scam.

According to internal communications reviewed by @sfgate.com and interviews with multiple national parks employees, the Department of the Interior has blacklisted SFGATE. One employee was told SFGATE isn’t “in line with the administration’s views.” www.sfgate.com/national-par...

An extreme early-season heat wave could see temperatures 20-30 degrees above average and record temperatures broken by 10 or more degrees today and tomorrow across the Desert Southwest. Jumping right into summer-like heat puts vulnerable populations at risk. Stay cool at www.weather.gov/safety/heat

If Sen. Paul accurately characterizes these events, then I would find it difficult to believe that any other senator would want to confirm Mullen. Of course, the Republicans - or most them - will likely vote in lockstep to do just that, no matter whether Paul's allegation is true or not.

"In one handwritten letter on girlish stationery imprinted with roses, Ms. Rojas wrote to Mr. Chavez in January 1974 at the age of 13 ... 'I think of you all of the time. Do you think of me?'" Horrific. Also a reporter masterclass in detailing corroborating details. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/18/u...

As a person of Irish descent (partially), this statement made me very happy. Mayor Mamdani, thank you for recognizing my ancestors and all they did to endure, to survive, to build, and to make life better for everyone.

Legalization of marijuana has definitely increased health risks to those who use the substance. Unfortunately, too little is being done to address that problem.

Meanwhile the nation is at war, climate change is accelerating, income disparity keeps on growing, etc. and this is what Congress chooses to spend its time doing . . .

We are actively destroying our public health system and endangering the health of millions.

41 years old, evacuated here legally, asylum case pending, kidnapped while driving his six children (one a US citizen) to school. Dead within 24 hours. Betrayed and murdered by the United States government. 42nd confirmed and reported death in ICE custody under Trump.

The U.S. makes it to the World Baseball Classic final.

The president is having a breakdown.

I can't think of any similar incident in history of a president publicly attacking the Supreme Court in this way. Jackson, Lincoln, and FDR were dismissive of some rulings, but did not criticize the motives of justices. But, if there's a historian or legal academic who can correct me, please do.

Dr. Paul Ehrlich, founder of the field of population biology, Stanford professor, prolific author of books on butterflies, birds, & human ecology, world-class environmentalist, outspoken scientist, and a personal friend, has passed away. A giant in the field of ecology. youtu.be/vW1z4n4Dusk?...

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un oversaw the test launch of strategic cruise missiles from a new 5,000-ton naval destroyer, the country's state media said.

Attention, fellow journalists: There is no such thing as the U.S. "Department of War." Federal statute declares that agency to be the Department of Defense, a situation that has existed since the late 1940s. Trump's silly and unlawful attempt to rebrand the Pentagon should be disregarded.

Please consider helping @mollyknight.bsky.social.

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas. "He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger." www.bbc.com/news/article...

Senator Tim Sheehy of Montana, a Navy veteran, assaulted a U.S. Marine at the Capitol yesterday. He cannot plausibly claim that the Capitol Police needed his help. Sheehy committed a crime. He should resign and be prosecuted for it.

Every two or four years I read the speculation that Texas will elect a Democrat to statewide office or to the U.S. Senate. It won’t. The election rules in that state are set up to favor the GOP and the electorate is clearly Republican-leaning.

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints. One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

I encourage you to watch Harrison Ford's remarks. This is a good man, lifting up others. We need more of this.
