look, I've heard people claim that Al Gore would have invaded Iraq and that Hilary Clinton would have put anti-abortion justices on the Supreme Court. 'the imaginary version of the Democrats in my head' is always going to win for some people really committed to the 'both parties are the same' crap.

A lot of people epically failed to accept the basic reality that the 2024 election was an election with huge moral stakes and a clear right and wrong answer (for a wide range of reasons). They now are twisting themselves into knots to protect themselves from accepting that moral failing.

Archivist? The one who receives and processes the Electoral College votes that Trump tried to forge last time?

December 2025 through February 2026 was the 2nd warmest winter on record for the Contiguous U.S. according to Prism climate data. The widespread record to near record warmth in the west easily outweighed the cool temps in the east. 🔥🔥🔥

Literally, the "moderates" are the ones spending millions AGAINST Democrats, such as Zohran Mamdani who are wildly popular. They represent corporate interests, not Americans' best interest, and they will help Democrats continue to lose. It's time to stop behaving like cult members.

There are at least 10,000 Amcits in Qatar alone, and the US government is saying we are on our own

Love this thing pundits do where they pretend not to understand why students might protest Israel (a country that their school may actively be funding and therefore the protests are about trying to get their school to take action) and not Iran (a country that their school has nothing to do with).

Republicans spent 17 months on Benghazi because 4 Americans were killed. It’s been 3 days and Trump’s illegal Iran attack has already gotten 6 American soldiers killed. He promises more will die soon. And Republicans don’t care.

The grandson of the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups creator has launched a campaign against The Hershey Company, which owns the Reese's brand. He wants them to stop skimping on ingredients. n.pr/3N2lYUx

This is what I have been saying forever. The only reason Republicans pretend to care about “the Jewish people” is that they need Israel for the Rapture to happen and then all the Jews will burn in Hell. Criticizing Israel’s government isn’t antisemitic but THAT sure is.

Operation Allies Refuge moved ~125K people out of AFG in 2021. To move 300-400K AMCITs and families out of the Middle East, commercial air will not suffice. The US would need to perform one of the largest non-combatant evacuation operations ever attempted--during an air war. There's a plan, right?

This is critical and everyone should know and understand their rights FFS.

had a death in the family and was almost completely off the internet for a few days & my observation is that there is too much happening too fast such that basic facts abt the world are difficult to ascertain unless you are mainlining info all the time & doing that seems to drive people insane

A woman’s ex boyfriend, who is a cop, threatens to shoot her Women are at the highest risk for being killed when they try to leave a relationship. She calls 911 for help & the Police Chief WARNS the boyfriend instead. Boyfriend opened fire on her car We aren’t angry enough.

guessing we’re tapping the strategic petroleum reserve again even though it’s down ~50% from pre-Russian invasion levels and oil is $70 a barrel. guys it’s supposed to be for emergencies not whenever you get scared your foreign policy is unpopular

ICYMI: This is insane and is not getting enough attention IMO www.huffpost.com/entry/aliya-...

"No stupid rules of engagement" is how you shoot down three of your own F-15s in one day. Just a shocking display of martial ineptitude.

After detaining children and parents for weeks, or months, inside Dilley detention center, ICE is dumping them at a shelter in Laredo, TX. They are often thousands of miles away from where they were arrested, with no money to get back home. THREAD (1/) www.themarshallproject.org/2026/03/02/i...

ICE and BORDER PATROL killed a nurse and a poet and 7 others

Incredible fucking quote ends this article: www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

It’s really crazy how much I’ve been agreeing with Rep. Thomas Massie recently!

Yes this

I'd be more inclined to believe that Graham Platner is merely a dumbass if he was making different kinds of "mistakes" instead of one very specific type of "mistake" over and over

President Donald Trump’s administration is expending a significant proportion of America’s best firepower – at a speed that may take the country’s industrial base years to replenish and leave American power diminished for other wartime scenarios.

I saw an incredible one-woman play years ago about a fighter pilot who is grounded while pregnant and becomes one of the early era drone pilots and it was literally about this, her slow shift away from seeing the people she drops bombs on as human from her cushy chair and big screen an ocean away

meanwhile, war rages on at home.

Thread from the great @lindsaypcohn.bsky.social

I don't know why this is so hard. Fighters win—we see that over and over, because often it's *not* about their politics! Trump was perceived as a fighter! The most effective way to reduce Trump as a foe is undermining his narrative as a tough guy... by fighting him.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

30 years. This video should be on every network.

So they’re going to cripple healthcare for the poor in Minnesota to make an example of the state. The warning is “don’t resist.”

There is no band right now that writes better hooks than @cheekface.bsky.social. Absolute earworm after earworm. I've never seen a run like this.

This is true about almost everything. I've been a "pumpkins are meh" person all my life but I grew pumpkins in my garden last season just so I could do a few of the Dorie Greenspan stuffed pumpkins, and it turns out that pumpkins are AMAZING.

A popular right-wing account that called a video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes "a masterpiece" appears to be run by a White House staffer, according to records reviewed by WIRED. www.wired.com/story/a-whit...

Forever war, but focussed on us. Thread

Trump: "In one year, we have lifted 2.4 million Americans -- a record -- off of food stamps" (In other words, Republicans cut food stamps)

Federal debt held by the public is forecasted to reach 156% by 2050. And unfortunately, projections have historically undershot reality. My @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social Chart

This guy gets it. Seriously though, this feels like a moment of transition from the post-911 era into something darker, more Torrian, and more focused on policing American citizens

The State of the Union really highlighted to me three themes of the Trump presidency (especially the second one). First, it's notable that in a speech to joint session of Congress, how little Congress was asked to do.

Overnight this aircraft completed its deportation trip to India. The migrant passengers were likely shackled for at least 59 hours.

Trump surpassed “what even the most self-indulgent presidents would have envisioned. Beset by scandal, facing multiple defeats in America’s courts, and hitting levels of unpopularity that would make Richard Nixon nod with empathy, he turned the State of the Union into a vulgar, populist carnival.”

Alvarado has been shuffled between a handful of prisons and penal institutions in the nearly three years since being arrested, never receiving a trial.

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

So timely!!! You are enriching my Lenten Season; THANK YOU!🌸

Thread.

Curiously, there was a memorial service held at the Capitol for ... Charlie Kirk.

Turning the heating of your stove to maximum power and walking away is stupid. That's what we do with our climate. Earth's Energy Imbalance is now higher than ever in the known history of our planet and very few know or care. It takes a while before the pan boils over, but it's coming.
