As more people cut the cord and drop their cable TV subscriptions, public access channels are losing a vital source of revenue.

The “gerrymandering arms race” kicked off by Donald Trump, aided by the recent Supreme Court decision that gutted the Voting Rights Act, “could lead to the largest drop in Black representation since the Jim Crow era,” says @ariberman.bsky.social.

LBJ at Howard calls the Voting Rights Act “the End of the Beginning” Might be helpful to think of Caillas as “the End of the Middle”. youtu.be/vcfAuodA2x8

Jeremy Scahill says a disorganized Trump administration is pushing a “total propaganda narrative” that it has the upper hand in negotiations.

What has a man profited if he should gain the whole world and lose his own soul youtu.be/5NvPhiuGZ6I

Trump: I'm going to destroy an entire civilization. We're going to keep killing people in boats. Senator Kelly should be executed. ICE protesters are domestic terrorists. Immigrants are vermin. Raskin: Donald Trump is bad for this country. Bash: Do you regret your heated rhetoric, Rep. Raskin?

Then you’d have to convince yourself that their goal is a “stable negotiated outcome”

You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂

Georgia you gotta gem here.

A🧵 Legacy media leaders are still failing to communicate the reality that #TrumpIsUnfit. Most editors have already sanewashed Trump by focusing on “cease fire” instead of “a whole civilization will die tonight”. This is evident in front page editorial choices.

Blue colored states pay more money to federal gov’t than they receive in services. Donor states. Red states are failed states. On Federal welfare for decades and decades. Require all their lawmakers to take drug test before they get any money from Successful States (blue states)

Ran into one of my USA Olympic Water Polo players at the Red Sox game,!! Letz go Jordan Raney,!!

"This war is already lost," says journalist Spencer Ackerman. "Iran has so thoroughly outfoxed the United States that you heard Trump say he is willing to walk away from a conflict he began without reopening the Strait of Hormuz."

I feel like “the world passed peak gas-powered car sales in 2017” is not a widely known fact

Donny renamed the Atlantic Ocean the American Ocean last week so NYT’s good. Dint ya hear?

Awesome No Kings protest sign of the Shady Bunch in South Elgin, Illinois.

I'm expecting a wheelbarrow-full of pardons for insider trading on January 19, 2029. Note that the prospect of those pardons helps to keep subordinates in line. Corrupt-cop style, make sure that lots of people get a little taste, then make clear that the pardon depends on continued loyalty.

Surely you can’t be serious

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

“Boots on the ground” is not a metaphor or an opinion. It’s boots on the ground.

Iranian General Mohsen Rezaei outlined Iran’s demands for any Trump negotiations to end the war: “The US must compensate Iran for damage caused by the bombing. “American military bases must withdraw from the Gulf region.” (Iranian TV)

The NY Times spoke to an Iranian businessman who shared the feeling of some Iranians “that the war facilitated the transition to a new supreme leader, something that the regime might have otherwise struggled to do.”

Epstein came to the East Bay for the same reasons so many dickheads in history sought out the Pacific: fragrance, tea, more efficient routes for the conduct of trade.

www.democracynow.org/2026/2/18/tr... 10 days ago: “The Trump administration, of course, believes that because of its overwhelming military power that it has now gathered in the vicinity of Iran, it will be able to take out Iran militarily rather quickly and then force it to capitulate.“

These fuckers are stupider than I thought. But then I remember a central tenet of Christian nationalism is apocalyptic fantasy in the Middle East. They want this. They believe they are fulfilling biblical prophecy. Buckle up

Yknow when you look at it that way it’s almost like the Civil War never ended

in 2012, it was six. now it's four.

A view we will not soon forget. The Blizzard of 2026.

Parental rights groups are all about the right of parents to own their children. And like their slave-holding forebears they believe they have unlimited sexual access to the people they deem property. Parental Rights is child-rape ideology.

Okay, folks- I know we all have plenty to do, but if you're at all concerned about the White House & historic preservation, please consider submitting public comment on Trump's ballroom project; info in this thread.

The military leaking against attacking Iran is a sign Trump wants to do something very stupid

He somehow thinks he is making a great point.
