Holy shit this is real

“I expect unconditional surrender, which will announce when I please.” WTF

Actually, this is not a refund, but a promise for lower prices in the future. Given Costco’s history, I trust them to follow through. But it’s not the same thing as a refund.

nyt website currently resembles one of those mock covers people made before 2016 election: economy floundering, war in the middle east, scandal-plagued cabinet sec, brazen corruption....

This what Hegseth means when he brags about “no guardrails” and “no rules of engagement”: murder.

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/...

On NJ Transit on the way home and the train just died. Just another day/reminder of how “the richest and most powerful nation in the world” cannot do mass transit. We can afford a war and build concentration camps, but not mass transit.

good news. kristi noem has already found eight new jobs

This is honestly one of the most anti-Jewish things I’ve ever seen from the United States government.

So when the admin says “we sank a warship” what they mean is “we murdered 87 people.”

It’s weird that pointing out the obvious is considered transgressive. But here we are. That’s not criticism of Linker or the commenter, just a general observation of the media environment.

We are deeply disappointed that the Senate failed to pass a War Powers Resolution to stop President Trump’s illegal and immoral war on Iran. But we must clear: This vote does NOT equal an affirmative authorization for war. (More ⬇️)

Oh god

Kristi Noem said earlier today that ICE wasn’t doing this.

MA Residents: info on our state’s collaboration with DHS.

incredible scenes where this is apparently a thing that Khameni has been wanting for ages and others on the council were pushing back against because optics but now council's all dead and congratulations on toppling the regime by giving the previous leader exactly what he wanted- a family throne

The air quotes around “Mr Lewandowski is your ‘special advisor,’ correct?” are brilliant. That’s my Norwich neighbor! But facts of this blatant and massive heist are stomach curdling.

I just left the classified briefing on Iran. And it only confirmed what we already knew: Donald Trump is waging an illegal war and he has no plan to end it.

Many voters would rather vote for a fascist who is “strong” than for a centrist Democrat.

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for: - Who takes over; - Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation; - How to defend US bases in the region; - Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and - How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

One day everyone will always have been against this.

It’s weird that Epic Fury has the same initials as Epstein Files.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

Seems like the emerging policy is: you people out there are responsible for setting up your own governments, but if the US doesn’t like who ends up in charge we’ll just assassinate or kidnap them and then the ball is back in your court.

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

Just won a game of Bretwalda by Phalanx Games. Great game! Fast-paced and beautifully drawn, as promised. #boardgamesky #bretwalda

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t

Sacrifices will be necessary. Not by me, of course! Your children will be sent to die and I will continue to live in my isolated, entitled bubble. What did you think I meant by “sacrifice”?

Voters don’t think the Democratic Party is too progressive, they think it’s weak and ineffective www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d...

Both seem to be missing that news isn’t the only media risk here. What kinds of stories get produced on TV and film shape the cultural consciousness in VERY significant ways, probably way more than broadcast news.

And it wasn’t politicians starting that war and the journalists enabling them who paid the price. It was our military and innocent civilians who did. You’ll have to forgive me if I’m not inclined to think this is a good idea. /thread

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media. Off the top of my head: www.thehandbasket.co 404media.co www.garbageday.email Add your favorites in the replies. Fuck state-backed media monopolies.

I shared this earlier. Here's the update:

The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds. It also removed some documents from the public database where accusations against Jeffrey Epstein also mention Trump. www.npr.org/2026/02/24/n...

Don’t correct those. They’re my emotional support typos.

This is so cool

The murderers of the news are many, chief among them vulture capitalists, big tech, & neoliberal political hacks. But also playing our part were those who wanted other people to labor for us for free, or wanted to replace news with indignation loops. We are complicit. I count myself in this number.

v early in Mamdani’s term in office but hard to escape conclusion that he’s causing a lot of snowfall

Gessen: Exactly, Lydia. We need to stop talking about the Epstein story as a story about extraordinary lawlessness. It is a story of ordinary lawlessness. Most abuse of children, like most abuse of women, goes unpunished. A-fucking-men

The least surprising story of the day:

Sexual assault *inside the building* of the office that’s supposed to protect people from sexual harassment at work.
