Newly elected socialist Emmanuel "Grégoire said: “Paris will be the heart of the resistance against this alliance of the right, which seeks to take away what we hold most precious and fragile: the simple joy of living together.”" Can we have that please? www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Socialist wins mayoral race in Paris. 25 consecutive years of Socialist goverment has made Paris a wonderful place to live. Fewer cars, more bikes, great transit, clean streets, and great people. I wish I could sit tomorrow at Augustin in the 17th for a drink and a nibble.

hey if "the economy" is completely decoupled from the welfare of the people, WHAT IS THE FUCKING POINT OF THE ECONOMY

This means everyone at WBBM CBS Radio in Chicago just lost their jobs and we have lost a great source of local news.

Only stooges willing to repeat this nonsense are allowed into the press conferences.

Trump Is Back-Door Begging Iran to Talk Peace by @thomasneuburger.bsky.social h/t @dropsitenews.com neuburger.substack.com/p/trump-is-b...

Used to be that I could read something like this & know it’s Peter Baker. But apparently they’ve cloned Baker & given the clones new names, like Javier C Hernandez

We can have nice things. open.substack.com/pub/readtpa/...

I made this joke *before* I saw this illiterate post by Trump:

The Mad Kind has power only because: John Roberts and 5 other monarchists on SCOTUS created the kingship and handed it to him; and Congressional Republicans refuse to exercise their Constitutional power to protect us from madness.

It’s official: There are now 3,000 protests planned for No Kings Day. That means there will be more protests on March 28 than any previous day in American history. Please join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

The cryptocurrency industry super PACs dumped $14.2 million into the Illinois primaries. 90% of that – $12.8 million – was wasted, in that it went to opposing Democratic candidates who won their primaries (Stratton in the Senate race, Ford in H-07) or supporting their opponents.

The Irish Taoiseach explains reality to the toddler, soothingly with a glorious lilt.

NEW: Donald Trump is struggling to control the narrative — war in Iran threatens to engulf his presidency, the economy is buckling and his MAGA coalition is fraying . So he’s lashing out at the institutions he doesn’t control — most pointedly, the courts. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Trump said Iran wants to talk. Of course he was lying. open.substack.com/pub/dropsite...

I met Ryan Coogler at TED in 2016(?) (and I said "you got something right in Black Panther" and he was all "excuse me?" and I said "I map and ancient sites from space+ there are dozens of unmapped ancient civilizations beneath African rainforests. So core premise of BP was 100% right.... cont

Perhaps Kaitlin Collins would like to sit for an interview with @ichotiner.bsky.social about this.

Officials are normally presented with ceremonial swords or paintings or whatever. But these guys are so fucking stupid that foreign intelligence agencies can literally give them an "Honorary Electronic Communications Device for a Very Special Boi" and they fall for it every time.

What's more important: Affordable Housing or AI? Every tech billionaire: AI will kill off enough people we won't need more housing.

The UK has its own versions of vicious thuggish people, the equivalent of Kristi Noem and Markwayne Mullen. There are slavish flatterers like Howard Luttnik and Scott Bessent. And certainly there are plenty of creeps like Stephen Miller. What could go wrong? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Slavery was a project of the filthy rich of that era, plantation owners, sure, but lots of others. The names change, and the projects change (Iran War?, AI?), but the dynamic is the same. The filthy rich want more, they want it now, and they want it on their terms.

The Justice Department is barely even a functional law firm at this point. And there is more proof of that depressing reality each day. Law Dork: www.lawdork.com/p/doj-is-bar...

But they had to see a Black man in the WH who was smarter, in better shape, better looking and more articulate than they were -- suffering.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social discusses campaign finance, and the staggering amount of money donated by billionaires to buy elections. Decades of Republican anti-democratic Republicans on SCOTUS gutted campaign finance lawsm leading to this immoral regime. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

The filthy rich want AI; they're dumping hundreds of billions into it, using our water and so much electricity our rates are soaring. They've got the money, the banks, Trump, R and D politicians, and all the filthy rich want in. I mean, who cares what people actually need?

A sharp warning in an ordinary news release: "President Trump’s Justice Department.” Today at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com/p/news-relea...

Too lethal capacity; the utter lack of moral principles.

Fun fact: P/E ratio for #$TSLA is currently 379. Why though?

This meritless appeal made possible by SCOTUS in Trump v. US. Hat/tip to all those right-wing law profs who pushed the fraudulent unitary executive theory.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social offers a history lesson to the cowardly Republican politicians neutered by the Mad King. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

President Demented attacks the proxy of Russia and China and then is shocked, shocked to find out both adversaries are helping their client. Also the impaired weirdo is shocked, shocked to find our that the proxy has its own weapons. And the moral degenrates around him didn't tell him.
