We are living in a time of absolute, utter madness...and too many people are unwilling to acknowledge it. My latest. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

this made me cackle all the way through

If Republicans are so concerned about national security, they’re welcome to make some compromises on body cams and unmasking ICE agents for starters. But don’t expect Democrats to give another 50 billion to fund the war in Iran . . . .

Trump multiple times just today has said the country is at war. War can only be declared by Congress, and Iran posed no imminent threat. What Trump is doing there is a textbook illegal war and impeachable offense — if we still had a Congress.

I don't ever want to hear that it's wrong to call them Nazis again.

Send these fuckers to The Hague.

As I read the news and headlines about Iran’s strategic response to being attacked, it is certain every “enemy” of the US knows how to defeat it. Play the long game. Let America bluff and bluster over the first days. Execute your response over months and years. It has worked over and over again.

"I think the counter to Trump always has been and always will be civil society. A lot of the left wants social change to look like the French Revolution or Che Guevara. Maybe changing the world is more like caregiving than it is like war."- @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/03/07/m...

"Doesn't the other country know that we're the good guys?"

The sad truth.

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it. 15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

Worth watching the whole clip, but purely in propaganda terms it seems to me, admittedly just an amateur observer when it comes to war fighting, that it may be useful to send the message to the 91+ million Iranian civilians that we are not trying to kill them.

This appalling White House video game imagery on Iran illustrates what @teotten1.bsky.social and I discuss on today's pod: The role of fantasy, unreality and sadism-as-entertainment in MAGA politics. newrepublic.com/article/2074...

When the US govt terminated the National Nature Asst, @phillevin.bsky.social + the author team were determined not to let that stop them. They re-organized, set up an advisory committee, found funding…and now the brand new Nature Record is open for public comment. 👏🌳👏🌲 Check it out (link below)!

"The latest employment report just came out... and this is my worried face."

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea. newrepublic.com/post/207429/...

I’m noticing a pattern that every time Republicans say something is fake news that basically confirms it is true.

These people are sociopaths.

She's right, you know.

Desi Lydic Foxsplains the not-war in Iran that Trump didn't start and also already won

Marco Rubio: “Let me explain to you guys, Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.” Have you met Trump’s personal spiritual adviser, Paula White?

Emmanuel Damas, another individual killed in ICE custody. He had a toothache. They ignored it. He died of spesis. Read that again. Why do we need to fund this murderous agency? www.washingtonpost.com/national/202...

POTUS appropriately described the US war on Iran as “war” and also claims “we’re doing very well on the war front… I’d rate it a 15 (on scale of 10).” All legacy news orgs are sanewashing Trump and his illegal war. Thank you @atrupar.com for documenting this insanity.

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.

“Parliament had turned over its constitutional authority to Hitler and thereby committed suicide, though its body lingered on in an embalmed state.” Shirer, William L. The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich (p. 331)

AOC: If people like Kristi Noem, Kash Patel, and Pam Bondi violate the law, there are supposed to be consequences. These are people who call themselves law enforcement officers. The message they’re sending is that they can cover up for pedophiles and street executions. That cannot be acceptable.

LIEU: Did Amalia commit a crime? NOEM: She did not. She's with her family LIEU: The reason she's with her family is because she almost died in ICE detention until folks brought a lawsuit forcing her release

Trump fossil fuel flunkies’ “national security” pretext for polluters is wearing thin. It went 0-for-6 on offshore wind, and letting coking facilities pollute locally for “national security” reasons seems quite the stretch.

Trump and Hegseth have everything figured out. We got strategic geniuses running this operation.

This case is horrifying. The man had deferred action, was on a full path to a green card, is a college grad magna cum laude, and ICE arrested him randomly while looking for someone else: “What do we do?” said one ICE officer, to which another replied “We’re going to take him with us anyway.”

Pete Hegseth's crazed rants at reporters reveal that Trump's rationales for attacking Iran are incoherent, confused, and based on lies. Dems don't have to take refuge in criticizing Trump's war on purely procedural grounds. They can go much harder. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2072...
