"I don’t know the moment it happened; it must’ve been a slow realization. ‘My bike is my mobility aid’." Great article from @bikehfxlobby.bsky.social published In Active Travel Studies activetravelstudies.org/article/id/1...

A draft-dodger bringing back the draft would be sensational.

Authoritarians will stop at nothing to feel safe. Since they have no concept of public welfare and consider everyone an asset to be used and discarded, they will easily enter into a military conflict without a long-term strategy, regardless of the casualties it causes.

This is the world young women and girls are growing up in.

He declared all of Lake's actions over the past year to be null and void, including the layoffs of more than 1,000 journalists and staffers. n.pr/4sy0uhE

“It is becoming increasingly hard to avoid the conclusion that the Trump administration has embarked on this operation without a plan, and is making it up as it goes along, as if they killed enough of the right people and destroyed enough Iranian assets everything would fall into place.”

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

I think it's great that the president put on his most solemnly branded baseball cap to receive the returning coffins of soldiers killed in the unnecessary war he launched to distract from his failing presidency and pedophilia scandal. Look at that gold-like letting. Classy as shit.

Former Customs and Border Patrol chief Gregory Bovino’s use of chemical irritants during the Department of Homeland Security’s “Operation Metro Surge” in Minnesota is among 17 criminal investigations now underway in Hennepin County.

Trump is not a man remotely bothered by mass death. He simply does not care. Again, such insouciance might not be new when it comes to America’s thirst for war. But carrying it so openly and inelegantly is something else entirely.

I can’t believe how stupid everything is

Slyngstad always gets it right…

This is not good.

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.

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.

Not regime change- societal collapse

There was war because Trump had a feeling Iran was going to attack. There will be peace when Trump has a feeling they've surrendered. Specific enough?

congrats to the coast guard commandant getting his house back

If you're just joining us in Operation Epstein Distraction... Trump's White House claimed Spain has agreed to cooperate with the U.S. military in its War on Iran. Spain fired back immediately that Trump's White House is lying and reiterated non-cooperation. All is going well.

"He also questioned why the government was continuing to do so after the Supreme Court ruled the tariffs illegal." Uh, yeah... www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Trump’s “worst case scenario” in Iran — awful leaders in Tehran might be replaced by similarly awful leaders — reflects a woeful lack of imagination. The fact that he doesn’t understand this makes a terrifying situation that much worse. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

What just happened in Dallas County is one of the most blatant voter suppression operations I've ever seen—and it happened in a *primary*. In March. Imagine November. I broke it down here: open.substack.com/pub/objectio...

Words cannot express the insanity of slapping across-the-board inflationary tariffs in the middle of waging an inflationary war. It’s like they’re trying to crash the market or someth— ah, I see now www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

WATCH — @senpeterwelch walks through a no-bid $143,000,000 contract that went to @KristiNoem’s spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin’s husband’s company that had just been formed. She should be impeached for this outrageous scandal alone. Yet it’s barely a blip in this corrupt regime.

A judge has ordered Dallas County polling places to stay open until 9pm CT for the *Democratic primary only.*

Republicans ended the ability to vote at any polling place in Dallas County TX in this election. Many voters went to the wrong location & couldn’t vote. A lower court extended voting hours, but the all-GOP Texas Supreme Court intervening may disenfranchise voters & undermine confidence in elections

🚨BREAKING: Hundreds of Democratic voters in Dallas and Williamson Counties, Texas scrambled to find their polling places Tuesday after the local Republican parties refused to hold a joint primary — ending more than a decade of convenient countywide voting. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The US is now wasting $4 million Patriot missiles on $20,000 Iranian drones. "Stupid is as stupid does." If the US had a professional president, he would ask Ukraine for technical assistance with cheap drone interceptors, but the US has Trump who instead insults Zelensky.

Chris Murphy: "It's just so disgusting to listen to the president waxing poetically about the drapes he's buying while there are six Americans who are dead. There are six families who are about to bury their children because of a war of choice that no one in this country wanted, an illegal war."

The U.S. State Department issued a notice yesterday for Americans to evacuate more than a dozen Middle Eastern countries "via commercial means due to serious safety risks." The catch? Air space is closed. There are no flights leaving 10 of the 13 countries.

While Trump prosecutes his vanity war in Iran, he’s also prosecuting his racist war right here in America

This might explain why Trump has abandoned isolationism—and why Cuba might be next. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

Israel used 2,000+ bombs in the first 30 hours of the Iran war; the US struck 1,000+ targets in the first 24 hours. Iran responded with at least 390 missiles and 830 drones in the first two days. Bellingcat has tracked the munitions used by all sides so far: www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...

The glibness. The indifference. The carelessness. The utter lack of planning for a war against a country of 90M. The sickness of a man who acts on whim that will kill thousands not hundreds. The horror of a regime that enables this sickness. The broken body politic that votes in such malignancy.
