It's just unreal how little thought or planning went into starting a new massive war in the Middle East.

“There is now a white fear industrial complex.” youtu.be/SYku-XfKCYY?...

Pulitzer-worthy

it's the retcon administration. they impulsively do something pointless -- start a war, send ICE into cities and airports -- and then they retroactively try to make up an explanation that makes the slightest amount of sense.

“Mind-blowing corruption”

It took four years of hate-filled propaganda for Slobodon Milosevic to convince people of committing atrocities. It took less time in Rwanda. Steady messaging that designates internal enemies should never be taken lightly.

@gallup.com Where did you go? Where are the presidential approval ratings?!

He is every negative human quality squished into a single person.

If we had had confidence that Robert Mueller clearly had not passed away, we would have said so.

There has been virtually ZERO National news coverage of the unprecedented “non hurricane” that’s been storming our islands for over a week! Parts of Maui & Oahu are under still-running red water. Streets have crumbled & fallen into sink holes. We have another 3-4 days before it MAY be over. YOUTUBE

Went outside today.

We’re quickly learning that our checks, balances, and separation of powers were always dependent good faith, and therefore incapable of preventing destruction wrought by the very sort of shameless, arrogant, mad president they were designed to contain.

“This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.” -Eisenhower

“Our civilization has evolved only over the last 6,000 to 8,000 years, when climate has been stable, so we are profoundly unsuited to the types of shocks that we’re seeing today,” Hayhoe said. “Human systems sort of bend to a certain point. And then, at some point, they break.”

19-year-old Royer Perez-Jimenez appears to be the youngest person to die in ICE custody since the Trump Administration took office. The full story: lataco.com/youngest-ice... By @izzymirez.bsky.social, @chularadio.bsky.social, and @eltragon.bsky.social

If someone has so much open contempt for humanity, they should not have the power to affect so many human lives.

We must not become numb to this cruelty and lawlessness. https://www.ms.now/news/ice-detains-daca-recipient-premature-baby

‘59% of teenagers told Pew that students use AI to cheat, while 34% said it happens extremely or very often.’ God help this generation. We have allowed Big Tech to convince us that ‘AI is revolutionizing the world’ and we’re sacrificing the development and well being of children to their Mammon.

EXCLUSIVE: U.S. Warmongering Hits Historic Level as Trump Attacks 3 Continents in 3 Days Since World War II, the U.S. has rarely, if ever, attacked so many places. “All war. All the time. Everywhere,” one source put it. theintercept.com/2026/03/19/t...

An immigration judge has denied the asylum claim for Liam Ramos and his family, meaning they could face deportation. "Heartbreaking,” say a spokesperson for Columbia Heights Public Schools, where Ramos goes to pre-school. www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

This is the conservative pitch to most Americans: Sure, you might be suffering as a result of our policies, but other people -- people who are different from you, people you don't like -- they're suffering a lot more than you, so it all works out.

ICE commemorates St Patrick’s Day with a tear gas tweet

I have become email. We are now one.

This measure of geopolitical risk just hit levels that put the current moment in the same league as the most dangerous moments of the 21st century.

My uncle used to play Dubliners songs on repeat when driving my cousin and I to baseball, school, or anywhere. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivkw...

I approve.

If you live in the US and you feel like your head has been spinning, this is why. Typically, autocratizing countries take a decade to make the kind of decline we've seen here in the past year, according to V-Dem.

Jesus. Paying a French company a billion dollars *not* to build a wind farm.

Sunlight skipping across the plaza.

This is what ICE has done to journalist Estefany Rodriguez.

We’re led by sociopaths.

The vaccines worked

Our colleague, archaeologist Lauren Sullivan, passed away last Thursday, and everyone is stunned and saddened here. She's a genuinely good person.

ICE has killed someone new.

The Trump regime launched an illegal war without bothering to sell it to the American people, and then threatened to revoke TV networks‘ licenses if they tell the truth. This is how dictators behave.

Again, normal pro-democracy political parties do not make restricting suffrage, on the basis of complete lies about the totally nonexistent mass voter fraud, the central pillar in their policy platform.

What I find particularly striking is the within-species between-group variation in rates of observed aggression... #BioAnth 🧪 doi.org/10.1126/scia...

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

I don’t think this shit will work but i never want to hear about free speech from any trumpers or anti anti trumpers ever again, fuck off forever bsky.app/profile/cram...

Nobody could have predicted that an ex-Fox News host whose go-to move was advocating for accused war criminals would turn around and commit war crimes

Pete Hegseth is openly calling on Trump-friendly oligarchs to take over the media while unshackling the military from the "rules of engagement" he hates so much. What he really wants is a world in which horrors like the school bombing don't ever fully come to light. newrepublic.com/article/2077...

This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.

1/3 Metaphors Can Kill As the linguist George Lakoff wrote during the First Gulf War, “metaphors can kill.” To frame war solely in terms of winning and losing (ex. a video game) does a great disservice to what actually happens during wars. Lakoff continued... www.yahoo.com/news/article...

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast. They’ll play this in museums in future. (🎥 LCI 🇫🇷)

"War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other’s children." www.nobelprize.org/prizes/peace...

Talarico on Trumpworld's "short term pain" talking point: "I'd like them to tell that to the parents of the American troops who have lost their lives. That is not short term pain. That is pain that will last forever ... no one asked for this."
