Dumb as a bucket of dirt.

And the American Dolt, panicking about his polling, wants to get out... but is discovering that Iran wasn't joking when it said that *they*, not he, would decide when this war ends. He's unleashed a maelstrom, all because he could.

"Based on what Jared Kushner told me I thought Iran Would Attack Us." The blame game starts, it will be epic. Launching a war you cannot win based soley on what Jared Kushner told you is total incompetence. #cdnpoli

Enjoy a full minute of beavers being released into the wild in Cornwall. These little fluffbutts are the first to swim in these waters in a very, very long time - the last official records of beavers in the wild in England are from the 1300s. BBC buff.ly/BnMwCOx #ShareGoodNewsToo

Australian police extracted five Iranian women soccer players from the team's hotel before they were granted asylum, the interior minister said, as details of their escape from Iranian government minders emerged reut.rs/4czjbwD

I can hear him saying it in my head, with that stupid intonation he affects. Monotone, slightly bored. And those venal enablers just let it go on, and on.

Remember guys, you can’t afford a gas rig, or a coal mine, or a nuclear power station, but you can afford to put some cheap solar panels on your roof. That’s why the fossil fuel industry has spent billions trying to kill renewable energy. The dealer needs to keep you addicted.

Deport him where? He isn't a citizen of any other country. America created him. America owns him. America should deal with him.

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

Iran will probably be more open to a ceasefire if they are handed over Trump and Netanyahu; it would also help create goodwill towards stopping the war completely.

They're only sorry because they got caught.

And so Australia enters the war... www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

As some figures on the French centre-right and far-right prepare to do deals around the local elections, Paris' Green leader has a very 🇫🇷 metaphor - trying to separate these alliances afterwards is like trying to take the sugar out of your coffee

Really, @washingtonpost.com ?

Brilliant, alarming piece by @carolecadwalla.bsky.social. "AI-guided weapons, two out-of-control authoritarians, no legal authority and a toxic mess of masculinity: welcome to the manosphere's first major conflict." broligarchy.substack.com/p/is-this-th...

A lot of this is ass covering, but still pretty telling that *Lindsay Graham* is trying to pump the brakes on Bibi's total state collapse train.

Oh, I'm sure Trump and his dedicated and hardworking FBI director will ensure there's nothing to worry about.

Vale, Country Joe McDonald. This song never really lost its relevance. youtu.be/ft0vkKCadgk?...

You in another decade.

Maybe they relied on AI to pick targets. But they bombed the school twice, hitting it again 40 minutes after the initial strike, in order to kill survivors and first responders. The mere *existence* of AI means no one has to be held responsible for this crime against humanity

In Dublin. Bliss.

I wonder what percentage of Americans knows that the CIA helped overthrow a democracy in Iran in 1953, installing a brutal dictator who tortured and murdered people. Republicans keep citing the 1979 Islamic Revolution as if that was the start of U.S.-Iran hostilities. Go back 26 years earlier.

On America's unforgivable empathy deficit. It's not just (or since) Trump.

No need to explain.

I don't think you have to Nostradamus to figure that bombing Iran might raise oil prices. And it seems pretty obvious that buying oil in advance of causing an oil price spike might just save Americans a lot of money. But... ...maybe there wasn't much planning?

C'mon universe just give us one well deserved obituary....

Useful look at the complexities of the competing interests among the Gulf states in light of the US and Israel's illegal war on Iran. I doubt Trump could even name all these countries, let alone have the faintest understanding of the spreading consequences. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Ah, those wacky, zany Catholics and the aversion to girl germs.

Isn’t it incredible that a foreign power can move nuclear weapons to Britain and the public not be told of this? It’s believed the US moved nuclear arms to Lakenheath, Suffolk last summer. But UK government policy is “neither to confirm nor deny” this. www.declassifieduk.org/we-deserve-t...

Sending military support would only serve Trump’s interests in the growing Iran war, assistance would mean Australia was legally part of the conflict. Imagine sending Australians to be slaughtered to appease your rapist felon pedophile friend. What a conman albo turned out to be. #Auspol

Rabobank on the unfolding worst case scenario:

"It’s time for a radical shift [in Greens' allegiances]. Rather than backing Labor against the LNP and Hanson, it’s necessary to point out that they are all on the same side: for Trump and therefore against global democracy." - @johnquiggin.bsky.social 1/2 open.substack.com/pub/johnquig...

Trump's decision to bomb Iran is now the greatest windfall to the Russian war effort on record. If it continues, it might save the Russian war economy.

The asymmetry of the value placed on human life is so striking. Israel has a goal to recover 40-year-old remains; to do so, it invades a sovereign country, and the lives of 26 Lebanese are an afterthought. Their names not even worth printing in the New York Times.

Worth remembering

Penny Wong says the reason the war on Iran is worth supporting is it will “keep Australians safe” Supporting an illegal war for regime change with no evidence of a threat will not keep us safe. It will create a new wave of terrorist groups & who hate us like after Iraq. #auspol

Geneva Convention 1977 Protocols: “It is prohibited to attack, destroy, remove or render useless objects indispensable to the survival of the civilian population, such as... drinking water installations & supplies and irrigation works... for any other motive.”

Exactly. More and more coincidences keep happening. Please keep after the truth, Rep. Lieu! @reptedlieu.bsky.social #releasethefiles #OperationEpsteinFury #TrumpEpstein

Not only did the US, per its own ‘intelligence,’ bomb this girls primary school, THEY BOMBED IT TWICE. www.reutersconnect.com/item/the-pri...

Pretty serious allegation here. "Witnesses told the BBC that the Israeli soldiers had arrived disguised in Lebanese military fatigues and used ambulances with signs of Hezbollah's Islamic Health Organization." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
