If you’re hesitant to post something you made or a cute picture or a surreal joke or a moment of gnosis etc because of ~the horrors~ please know the effect on me and many others is a deep, healing breath after a sustained stressed shallow-breathed period of the emotional firehose of witnessing.

Shabana Mahmood to limit refugees to 30 months in UK

Mark Warner: "I saw no intelligence that Iran was on the verge of launching any kind of preemptive strike against the United States. None."

Khanna: "Clinton has set a precedent, a new Clinton rule. That means Trump should do the same -- answer questions -- and Howard Lutnick should do the same. I'm working with a Republican to subpoena Lutnick next week ... someone made allegations against Trump that she was sexually abused as a minor"

Chris Murphy: "We're gonna have Americans dying, and the end result is going to be hard line leadership continues in Iran and we don't get rid of their nuclear program. That's a moral and strategic disaster for the country."

LINDSEY GRAHAM: Our goal is to make sure Iran cannot become again the largest state sponsor of terrorism. WELKER: Does the the president have a plan to guarantee that happens? GRAHAM: No. It's not his job.

Truly psychopathic stuff.

Congrats to @ncaaup.bsky.social & all who fought against this surveillance policy that would've allowed admin to hijack microphones in the classroom for secret recordings. This move would've chilled classroom discussion & suppressed students' willingness to ask questions & take intellectual risks.

March Hares! ‘I shall go into a hare’…. Painted, engraved stained glass, private collection.

Overturning mandatory rabies vaccination for animals would be one of the WORST possible decisions. Every single person who works in animal care should be aggressively & strenuously opposing this nonsense.

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now. Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

The negotiations, which were a con, accidentally worked. And these bloodthirsty monsters ignored it so that they could slaughter children.

Today marks the first day of Women's History Month; yesterday was the last day of Black History Month. Every day is for women's history and Black history and Black women's history. Because these are not histories that are separate from histories of war and economy.

Shouldn’t Fox pay Fetterman as a contributor at this point?

I don't think the NYT reporters here know that they are -- this time, with typical deference and some delight in the derring-do of clandestine ops -- describing a close criminal partnership, collaboration in war crimes. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/01/u...

🚨SUNDAY ACTION🚨 Public comment period ends TOMORROW (Mon) Dept of Ed plans to cap fed loans for grad students in many fields, like nursing, public health & more (Theology?No cap for them tho!) Public comments matter. By law, the gvt must respond Substantive comments slow unjust policies Details👇

If you’re ever feeling low on confidence, just remember Trump was asking for $1B to join the “board of peace” right before bombing another country and declaring unilateral war to distract from the fact he and his friends like kids. Go do whatever you want. Nothing matters anymore

Leaders in Syria, Venezuela and now Iran have all discovered that Russian support only goes so far. 🔗 www.politico.eu/article/vlad...

Is Convicted Felon Donald Trump’s super-duper secure SCIF with soft banquet-hall curtains, open air top, unsecured electronic devices, and roving guests located next to the bathroom where the classified documents are stored?

uhhh oh my god

"Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman made multiple private phone calls to Trump over the past month advocating a U.S. attack, despite his public support for a diplomatic solution, the four people said." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Procedural liberalism on display. We support the murder of innocents, the immoral and demonic violence, but the President didn't fill out the right paperwork. The same logic that calls for higher police training budgets and more diversity among prison guards. Polishing the bars of the cage.

It's not just "Iran cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon," but NO ONE should have nuclear weapons Nukes exist for 1 purpose—to mass murder millions. This week I interview 1985 Nobel Peace laureate Dr. Ira Helfand, who won for helping end the cold war Subscribe www.qasimrashid.com/subscribe

🤦🏼‍♀️

Whoa, an “I Can’t Believe It’s Not AIPAC TM” super PAC is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to attack @katmabu.bsky.social? We’re so shocked /s Dark money is a tool used by billionaires to try to buy elections. That’s why we must support candidates like Kat who will End Citizens United.

"Trump has no plan for Iran. Just blow shit up, kill some people, and hope for the best. It is the war of a Mad King."

The U.S. is destroying Iran’s missiles and bombs to stop them from taking more lives.🧵👇🏼

Do this NOW

At least eight countries, including Iran, Israel, Jordan and Qatar, shutter airspace as global air travel severely hit.

Trump is dragging our nation into another reckless, unjustified war in the Middle East. Americans don’t want another regime change war that costs trillions and sacrifices the lives of our nation’s troops. Congress must reconvene at once to vote on a War Powers Resolution to put a stop to this.

Fuck John Fetterman

A broader takeaway I think is nobody should be allowed to be so rich that being told no, or being held accountable, represents such a moral injury to that person's psyche that they feel like their only recourse is to burn the world down.

Just a reminder: instead of an actual diplomat, we sent Trump’s deeply compromised son-in-law as the lead negotiator to avert war with Iran. popular.info/p/deeply-con...

Trump: America's most unpopular president seeks another distraction from the Epstein files. Game of Kings / Dictators: foreign wars distract from domestic disaster, carnage and oppression. #Netanyahu #Iran #Israel #US

"Netanyahu and Trump’s war on Iran is wholly unprovoked, illegal, and illegitimate. Trump has turned ‘America First’ into ‘Israel First’— which always means ‘America Last’. " --- Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi

This is what CNN is publishing even before the Ellisons come in

“Their coalitions have the least to lose from war, and swearing off free trade makes seizing resources through force seem more attractive. This unfortunately means that the incoming "America First" coalition is likely to put the United States in greater, not less, risk of conflict.” (Dec 2024)

Let this in. Half of 🇺🇸 struggles to pay rent, MUCH higher % for young people — average first home buyer is now 40 (!) “housing market = wealth transfer mechanism from young renters to existing owners” The system is rigged. We can’t go on like this.

JUST IN: A federal judge in Oregon has barred ICE from conducting warrantless arrests without probable cause in the state, saying the agency's "dragnets" have flouted "clear and undisputed" law. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Hillary Clinton: "It then got quite unusual because I started being asked about UFOs and Pizzagate"

1. The footage shows Homeland Security is lying when he got indoors and was wearing prison booties I doubt are good for the cold. 2. Nurul Amin Shah Alam apologized to police BEFORE he was tasered when he was originally arrested. wapo.st/3OCwNx8

Relevance: As with a CCPSA meeting held last month, the focus tonight is on CPD interactions w/ ICE and Border Patrol agents that may violate the Chicago Welcoming City ordinance. CCPSA said it invited Snelling to participate in tonight's meeting to discuss those concerns. More here:

Abolish ice

America under the current administration is no longer leading the globe in either democracy or economically. As it slides toward fascism the rest of the world is building new relationships without it. @hcrichardson.bsky.social:

Fucking VOTE the bums out.

So roughly still 6X pre-surge, down from 16X, and planning for 3X long run.
