There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

Another tragic example of how Trump’s indiscriminate immigration raids are targeting the most vulnerable among us, including the family of a deaf child seeking asylum. The cruelty is astounding. Will do all I can to try to reverse this. www.latimes.com/california/s...

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it. 15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

New records show a guard searched Jeffrey Epstein’s name minutes before his body was found. This follows thousands in unexplained cash deposits to that guard’s account days prior. These aren't coincidences; they’re receipts. We need a full independent investigation now.

Renee Good was also shot at point-blank range through her side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger Alex Pretti wasn’t in a car, but he too was shot at point-blank range by an ICE agent who was in no danger It seems every time ICE kills someone they lie to cover up shooting innocent people

On way back home from grocery a crazy cloudburst of early march hail oh no I had to take refuge at my favorite pub. Hail 3 minutes ago, sun now.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.

Funny I’m no expert and I started to question this ages ago

THIS IS SO GREAT

So many things breaking all at once.

Hegseth and Stephen Miller ridiculed "rules of engagement" and vowed this war won't be "politically correct." Now it looks like we may have bombed an elementary school. Hegseth/Miller's certainty that their version of "strength" would have support is imploding. 3/ newrepublic.com/article/2074...

agree. Admitting and talking about what’s happening - in Iran, in US science, in Minneapolis, in public health, in DC - is simply essential now.

New paper out in ecology letters! with @andylee.bsky.social @allydefduf.bsky.social We synthesized the active debate on how scientists define sex, including limitations and assumptions. We believe this discussion will lead to more accurate science. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

If we survive this, I really hope parents take a long look at how they are teaching empathy to their children. It's so obvious that that is the missing ingredient in huge chunks of the population, amplified by social media algorithms and cultural rewards for reactions rather than thoughtfulness.

Hegseth said, “quiet death”. He’s a psychopath.

Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors. My report:

Imagine being a US service member - or a member of a military family - in harm’s way right now thanks to Trump, and watching him refuse to answer a reporter's question about Russia helping Iran kill Americans because they dared to ask during a college sports roundtable on the sixth day of the war.

I can't seem to get Black Sabbath's War pigs out of my head. Weird.

The far right's new politicized higher ed accreditor is illegitimate. "Rather than protecting educational quality, the CPHE appears designed to give partisan political actors a powerful new tool to pressure universities to conform to a narrow ideological agenda" — Todd Wolfson, AAUP President

Maybe this is just me, but I kind of think massive military operations, in which we're demanding unconditional surrender as the outcome, probably should be authorized by Congress.

move slow and repair things

On March 28, we need to show up in world-historic numbers to send a message: Not in our name. The people of the US reject Trump’s brutality at home and abroad and we say in one voice: No wars of aggression. No terrorizing our communities or yours. No tyrants, no conquests, no kings.

Teaching today first time this year. Dreamt my classroom was in the old building where The Grit restaurant used to be. More importantly, I couldn’t find my dongle adapter for my computer. Better than a naked dream I guess.

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran. No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles. Worth a watch. (🎥 BBC News/BBC Verify)

There are much bigger issues at stake here than making anyone “look bad”. Sad this Administration can’t comprehend this.
