on this team and gonna keep saying: behind the extremely thin veneer of concern and responsibility of anti-Bluesky takes is the desperate attempt to portray something that is obviously their problem as though it were our problem. nice try. go with God, have a blessed day

Probably a bad time for the DHS and FBI to be helmed by a kakistocracy of the most incompetent people in US history

157 Democratic members of the House just voted yea for a resolution that confirms they agree with the Trump administration's reasoning for starting with a war with Iran. It passes 372-53-2

“Asked if Americans should worry about Iran retaliating against Americans on U.S. soil, President Donald Trump responded, ‘I guess.’”

It was funny to see, I don't even remember which US newspaper it was anymore, but an obit of Ali Khamenei said something to the effect of "he lived a paranoid life in which he believed the US and Israel were out to kill him, which eventually happened"

bsky.app/profile/anja... double-tap strikes, regardless of the target, are usually understood to be Geneva Convention violations because they target the wounded and aid personnel who are specifically protected under international law. The target here makes this an especially staggering evil.

Jim Cramer has prophesied that the end times are upon us

Crispy Gnome got cooked

The future of the Democratic Party will be centrist Democrats saying factually true things (and in fact understating them) and the collective pro Israel lobby freaking the fuck out

As I was made to wait 2.5 minutes to cross a road this morning, let's again do the maths simple.ghost.io/lets-do-the-...

I think about this take more often than I'd like to.

I like when the New York Times is even slightly nasty

The latest Iran War would not magically be good if Trump had asked Congress first. Democratic establishment hawks are complaining about how he did it, instead of actually opposing the war.

dude is literally a member of hate groups. why is the atlantic platforming this??

when u wake up from a nap & it’s 8pm

For the first time ever, workers at a Home Depot company have unionized. Drivers who deliver building materials for Home Depot’s Temco subsidiary have voted to join the Teamsters. They did so despite a vicious anti-union campaign from Home Depot and Temco. atlantaciviccircle.org/2026/02/25/t...

I have no way of independently evaluating this, and there's no detailed coverage anywhere else I can find, but if this description is correct, America or Israel seems to have carried out an intentional massacre of civilians. www.dropsitenews.com/p/tehran-ira...

It's very bad! And the well-resourced Jewish communal organizations that should be on top of this burned all their credibility defending Israeli war crimes and are still primarily focused on playing Israel's lawyer rather than addressing the rapidly spreading gangrene.

Congress has appropriated the funds to NSF but OMB is delaying the release. When funds are released, NSF, which has lost almost 1/5 of its staff, will struggle to evaluate proposals. Since they have to award the funds, big projects with established PIs will benefit. This is how US science dies.

Right now UK is pretty much running the electrical grid on renewables and Nuclear.

Israel's systematic attempts to kill the entire Iranian opposition leadership in Iran is indicative of what (some) of us have been saying— Israel doesn't not want to turn the IRI into a democratic republican state, it wants there to be no state. It wants a rubble-state, Gaza or Yemen or worse.

my least Marxist democratic socialist belief is that single party communist states are functionally less democratic than a well-regulated and publicly funded bourgeois democracy and believing otherwise is unbelievable cope

Nope. We don't have to do this. The courageous act would be to refuse. Jingoist slop like this is an enormous factor in why the US has been terrorizing the world for decades. There are no heroes bombing Iran.

what exactly is the point of a Labour government news.sky.com/story/back-m...

in case anyone ever needed confirmation that it's not about building a democratic Iran, it's about collapsing Iran and turning it into a land of rubble that can be bombed every six months

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

🚨 ISRAEL REIMPOSES TOTAL SIEGE ON GAZA Israel has closed all crossings into Gaza, including Rafah, “until further notice.” COGAT says humanitarian staff rotations are postponed, meaning no aid personnel can enter or leave. Israel falsely claimed: “The substantial quantities of food that have...

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

"Or longer"

Seems like short of a revolution or a full blown occupation, these attacks are just handing the government of Iran to Revolution Guard hardliners. Great job guys!

They're not journalists. We need to start pushing back on that shit. Call these people PR professionals. They hate that. Trust me. Nothing cuts a "reporter" deeper than calling them Public Relations because they have such disdain for the people who work in that industry.

We are very clearly in an Anschluss/WW2 scenario where the existing political norms and balance of power cannot reign in a powerful rogue state, the entire world is suffering because of it, and extraordinary measures will be necessary to solve it

what a crazy night for sam altman to be like "yeah we got that dept of war deal, and there's no moral concerns here"

Iran signed the JCPOA with the US, China, and the EU in 2015. Two years later, the US withdrew and imposed sanctions purely out of spite. 8 years later, America and Israel bomb Iran completely unprovoked. Now we're doing it again not even a year after that. There is no winning with the United States

if you dont have nukes and give us everything we want in negotiation, we might still kill you as late night television entertainment for the demented emperor

Should be an instant impeachment but we live in hell

Every single outlet that uncritically recites Israel's self-designation of "preemptive strikes" should be permanently shut down for good. Straight up. Definitionally no such thing as a "preemptive" attack when the country being attacked had no plan nor indication of planning to attack first.

Al Jazeera reporting that the 3 illegal Israeli/US strikes occurred in the Jomhouri area, which is in downtown Tehran close to the University of Tehran, and the Seyyed Khandan area, in north Tehran

possibly the one woman in DC with a brain operating at full capacity?

youre telling me for all these fucking years the US federal government has had the power to declare a company an economic threat and completely neutralize it and we only find this out bc Trump wants an AI company to do fascism

The situation in Minneapolis: even though the ICE presence in the city is greatly reduced, and national attention has moved on, a huge portion of our population remains essentially in hiding, devastating the schools and economy. In particular, much of the education system remains in crisis

Labour's swing toward racism is perhaps the biggest unforced error in British political history; burnt their base to ashes and won them not a single vote on the right.
