After abandoning every mitigation and infecting kids repeatedly, our media wants to know: why do so many children have Long COVID? My latest looks at the newest research, the comforting lies that just won't die, and how we got here: www.thegauntlet.news/p/long-covid...

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

someone transported here from 1995 with a layman's understanding of the Republican Party - "they like low taxes for the rich and aggressive use of the military" - would be more correct in their assessment of the party than many ostensibly savvy pundits working right now

Donald Reagan

Love that his office spelled it that way 3 separate times in the press release

Whipped up a quick chart of views of Iran for the newsletter this morning. Long story short: Same old story. Read more: www.howtoreadthisch.art/this-way-mad...

As I scroll through triumphal pro-war tweets, thinking about this image a lot today:

Normal people go to work every day to maintain the semblance of a society so a hive of wretched villains and the lackeys in their orbit can get rich doing crimes. Mafia state

If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.

Florida just cut off HIV meds for 16,000 people.

"Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman made multiple private phone calls to Trump over the past month advocating a U.S. attack, despite his public support for a diplomatic solution, the four people said." MBS is as predictable as Bret Stephens.

meanwhile, war rages on at home.

This is disgusting. Rationalizing the bombing of a school that reportedly killed 108 girls. But since she asked, "Currently, 161 public schools operate on military installations across the United States." www.militaryonesource.mil/education-em...

Right wingers calling everything George Orwell 1984 for a decade only to do it for real themselves

Investigative Post obtained this video of Border Patrol abandoning Nurul Shah Alam, the nearly blind Burmese refugee who was found dead www.investigativepost.org/2026/02/26/t...

The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close! New: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d...

So Hegseth is attacking Scouting America for treating trans kids with respect, including respecting their chosen names... at the same time he demands you respect the made up name for his department, which he changed illegally without congressional approval.

The first deaths announced from the US-Israeli strikes on Iran: dozens of school girls. They hit an elementary school in Hormozgan.

he's on it

The Trump Justice Department exposed cooperating witnesses in the Epstein files: After The New York Times confirmed that at least three of the seven people had in fact cooperated with the government, and then informed the department, agency officials took down the files.

Oh hey the Strategy Cheese testifies to Congress this week about the new National Defense Strategy. You should make it known to your representatives how upset you are with him specifically.

"The Apotheosis of War" by Russian artist Vasily Vereshchagin, 1871. Dedicated to "to all great conquerors, past, present and to come", this painting drew controversy when it was first exhibited, with military leaders in Europe forbidding soldiers from attending showings of the picture.

For my entire life, the people protesting US wars have always been ultimately vindicated and that being right is completely forgotten when the next war comes.

Amazing full-house turnout at @redemmas.org tonight to learn how @projectsaltbox.bsky.social uses public records to expose ICE activity. @adamjst.bsky.social and @maximillianalvarez.bsky.social here with me, too. 👏

UNC will 'scrap' policy that allowed University to secretly record instructors share.google/bEsl6GXZ8lIn...

I notice Trump didn't cancel the Republican fundraiser he's hosting at Mar-a-Lago tonight. I mean, business is booming for his arms-dealing friends. He might as well get his cut.

Where is the lie?

Pretty impressive opsec. Those drapes go almost all the way to the ceiling.

sure the pedophile felon president just illegally bombed a country that may have nukes while federal forces under his command murder and harass people in america and immigrants are tortured and he moves forward with plans to build concentration camps and sorry idk where i was going fuck all of this

It me

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

i see we have entered the “get mad at Democrats about unilateral Trump action” phase of the thing and, whatever makes you happy I guess most of the criticisms are correct and almost all of them are irrelevant

Yes in this particular moment the blame is 99.9% on Republicans. A dozen R’s in Congress could together end this presidency now

Each one of those three missiles costs 33% more than the annual budget of the national park where I work.

I used to get so panicky and sweaty whenever I did this but now I got 'em all on speed-dial LOL Jot down a few notes of what you want to cover, don't be hysterical or rude but do be firm and passionate, tell them you vote, and just remember they're hearing a thousand more insane calls than yours 😉

Put them in your contacts, local offices and DC office.

…….. okay I guess I’m a dumbass for not asking myself before now, “did we start a war with Iran in order to force Dems to approve a fully loaded Homeland Security budget so they can continue terrorizing immigrants from the comfort of their 62 luxury jets,” but it sure seems obvious in hindsight

The U.S. Supreme Court is poised to issue a ruling that could weaken or even eliminate a key part of the Voting Rights Act that’s critical to challenging racial discrimination in election maps. Here’s how this could upend Mississippi:

manufacturing consent through lowly paid influencers

On the left: Trump tells Axios U.S. military action could end quickly and then resume if Iran starts rebuilding it nuclear and missile programs On the right: Trump tells Washington Post, U.S. military action is about freedom for the Iranian people/regime change

The president didn't bother to make the case for war in a marathon State of the Union address and then he fucked off to his sweaty gilded country club so he could literally phone in an unconstitutional war. Every single Democrat needs to be screaming about this at full volume.

we all knew Bari Weiss was a deranged right wing hack but I thought that she’d at least be a little more subtle about it while running cbs news

Back in the early days of Trump I, a Twitter account labeled "President Villain" took Trump quotes and put them on comic panels of the Red Skull This pic was from late February 2017

still waiting for AI to solve climate change
