Iran is so stupid to assault most of these countries. If the regime falls (I don't think it will), activating regional nations into enemies who wanted to stay sidelined will be one reason why.

trans guy rescues a baby from Lake Michigan then gets a burger as soon as he’s discharged from the hospital is as Chicago a story as they come

in case anyone ever needed confirmation that it's not about building a democratic Iran, it's about collapsing Iran and turning it into a land of rubble that can be bombed every six months

Same.

A bare majority of Latino men voted for Trump? "All Latinos are suspect!!!!" A huge majority of white people voted for Trump? "We can't castigate all white people!!!!"

Trump ripped up the Iran nuclear deal and created this mess. Now, he's putting servicemembers in harm's way with no clear plan and no Congressional approval. The American people deserve answers — and Congress needs to do its job.

CNN has pointed out that none of the pretexts offered for this war (e.g. Iranian ICBMS and advanced nuclear enrichment) appear to be true, as tacitly admitted by the vagueness of the administration's claims. www.cnn.com/2026/02/27/p...

It's truly pathetic that Congressional Democrats routinely blow wide-open layups. This war is a wrong decision on both policy and politics. We need more AND BETTER Democrats.

Thank god for our insistent Democratic leadership and their precious consultations. We're all gonna make it through this.

Don't worry guys, Democrats aren't united on Iran but, as of yesterday, almost all of them were "insistent" that Congress would have to be consulted. Insistent! www.axios.com/2026/02/27/i...

Note that Trump is claiming this is about regime change. Only ... he never actually changed regimes in VZ.

Someone out there has to know Maureen Dowd, right? Point at her like Donald Sutherland at the end of the Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Bonus points if you can hold up the NYT headline in her face.

He announced the war on his own neo-Nazi internet message board.

Iran is truly weak, AND domestic Iranian support for the regime is larger than @wyobronco.bsky.social thinks. Opposition is larger than in any undemocratic nation, and still likely a minority.

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party. We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

Reminder that Trump gutted VOA Farsi.

This is going to be an early challenge for the Board of Peace to deal with.

Tehran is a city of nine million people, with 17 million in the larger metropolitan area. Saturday is the first day of the week for Iranians. Millions of people are at work, and children are in school.

Everyone who ever thought Trump needed "kompromat" to keep Linsey Graham enthralled needs to realize that all Graham needed was even the whiff that this attack might come. And it has. These monsters make good bets on Trump.

Wait, Iran was able to hit all.these overnight? I'm misunderstanding this, right? If I'm not, why these countries?

I know it’s old fashioned to care about law. But these strikes against Iran, initiating a (so far, at least) regional war, are illegal.

Fascism with Reddit Tendencies

Huh.

"Every time [Democrats have] funded his government, he’s turned around and refused to spend the money as instructed, in violation of the law. So…stop doing that!"

From Award Shows to Basketball Games, Caucasians Keep Shouting the N-Word... horrifying: " Donald Trump is proof of how far you can go by hating Black people" .. also women and immigrants open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Trump’s billionaire allies will now own CNN, Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ and NY Post — plus 185+ local tv stations and news in 100 markets. They also control X, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp, TikTok, Truth and Twitch. This is all by design to manipulate and surveil us. Pay attention.

It’s not. Its political results are that of a standard European democracy in 2026, mediated through a worse electoral system.

🎩 The question isn’t did Donald Trump rape children He did 💯 The question is are we going to let him get away with it? 🇺🇸

Donald Trump is America’s enemy. Once again, he’s declared war on OUR elections. He’s again attacking America’s elections, the heartbeat of our democracy. He’s America’s enemy.👇

Here's the speech I gave tonight as part of the Univ. of Washington Grad School's Public Lecture. It's about how impeachment can save our republic and rekindle its spirit of liberty. Starts 30 minutes in: youtube.com/live/3UkV400_t0Y?si=2UcSsVW93k-xxqSb

Hard to think of a greater indictment of our system than the richest man ever to live has devoted his political efforts to torturing and persecuting his own daughter, and has been widely successful in enabling torturing and persecuting vast numbers of people along with her.

Antisemites hate without fear or shame while sham cries of antisemitism rain down on anyone who isn't Islamphobic enough.

Years ago our admin did a red and black report. It took salaries & how much $ each instructor made in tuition $ for classes we taught-you were in the red or black. They released numbers once & shut it down bc humanities were producing huge $ for uni & engineers, business and scientists were losing $

“.. If Trump had any sense he would be ostentatiously pushing [refunds] through quickly, perhaps even labelling them a tariff dividend and hoping no one notices ..” but he “cannot grasp quite how unpopular they have become.” @alanbeattie.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/57d9...

In the REAL ID era, this can also prevent people from flying.

I fairness, what are the odds that Ayatollah Khamenei and Ayatollah Khomeini would have the same first name?

Fetterman’s poll numbers are now in Sinema territory: sunk too deep with his party to win a primary, artificially inflated by Republicans who’d never actually vote for him, trapped in a negative-partisanship era that makes an independent bid implausible. His seat is up in 2028.

I'm glad someone is actually asking about this

Again: blue-state residents can make moving _affordable_ for more people who want to — and who need to. Undo restrictive zoning. Curb capricious regulatory burdens. Build housing — so that people feel welcome and included in the communities their lives would enrich.

Mm-hm.

Amen.

Mm-hm. Exactly. 🎯

At the risk of preaching: what blue-state residents have in their power is to make moving _affordable_ for more people who’d like to. Undo restrictive zoning. Curb capricious regulatory costs. Build housing — so that people feel welcome and included in the communities their lives would enrich.

As a Black guy who spent seven years living in and around Charlottesville and used to spend Saturday mornings at the farmer’s market by where Heather Heyer’s life ended, I know this feeling too well. I really do.

The first sentence of the letter is literally “House substitute for Senate Bill 244, enacted by the Kansas legislature, overriding Governor Kelly’s veto..” That’s Democrat Laura Kelly.

That Ayatollah (Khomeini) died in 1989— & this is what his wikipedia page says about him & nukes: “...Mohsen Rafighdoost, head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps from 1982-1989, insisted Khomeini had opposed his proposal for beginning work on both nuclear and chemical weapons by a fatwa…"

The most fraudridden administration in American history will make an argument to the Supreme Court that it will not fund eligible health care claims because it is fighting fraud.
