Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact. How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

Hey FIFA bosses, got a new faux trophy to give Trump to honor him fort the Iran war? He could use it as a bookend to the suck-up “peace“ trophy you gave him.

A small group of fossil-fuel powers often resists stronger climate rules. But most of the UN’s 193 countries still support a rules-based approach to global problems. Now Vanuatu is pushing a UN resolution that would anchor the ICJ’s climate ruling in international law and global policy.

So let me get this straight… we live in a world where one of the key sources of energy enrich dictatorships, burn our climate… and when there’s a global conflict, the privately-owned oil and gas corporations get *richer*? If only there was a source of free ‘fuel’ that’s received by almost everyone…

Yet U.S. EnergySec Chris Wright, former fracking CEO, still calls scientists "climate alarmists" and pushes an increase in fossil fuel burning, claiming greenhouse gas emissions are no big deal. You never know for sure if these guys are stupid or just greedy. phys.org/news/2026-03...

In the Bible, young shepherd David kills the 6’9” Goliath by slinging a stone into his head. Before he does, the Israelites and their foes scoff. This boy? But Goliath’s Philistines included Sardinians, a people who were renowned slingers. They would definitely not have scoffed. More Bible BS.

Reporting on the Iran war shows, unsurprisingly, how extremely one-sided it is. So far. Just remember that on May 1 23 years ago, when George W. Bush presented his “Mission Accomplished” speech, only 3% of the Americans who would be killed in the Iraq war had been.

Remember, On those rare occasions when Trump or some member of his Cabinet slips up and tells the truth, it is always packed in lies. Lies, damned lies, and Truth Social.

WALZ: What a 'stop payment' meant by what the administration did last week is 400,000 children without healthcare COMER: We believe that's your fault WALZ: Our Medicaid error rate is lower than your state

Rand Paul, most of whose views I find loathsome, is the only GOP Senator who feels Congress shd follow the Constitution regarding going to war against Iran & voted with all the Dems except John Fetterman for the War Powers Res. March 4 to rein in presidential action without congressional.

That’s a lot.

“Embiggen” is now 30 years old. It first appeared in a 1996 episode of “The Simpsons” ("A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man.") Although it has faded from use, it was hijacked to mean enlarging anything, but particularly online images. It was added to the Merriam-Webster dictionary in 2018.

Our vile and pathetic Outlaw Prez has addedcanother outrageous lie to his roster of lies that would, published in tiny print, circle the planet several times. Whatever else can be said about the Iranian autocrats, they were not going to have a nuke by the end of this month. bsky.app/profile/atru...

It still can't tell you how many r's are in strawberry, but I'm sure it's sophisticated enough to decide which blobs in a satellite image are mobile missile launchers and which are school buses.

“Bounty hunter” laws designed to incentivize people to sue their neighbors for getting an abortion are spreading throughout the country. @queenmab.bsky.social reports:

Here are 4 districts the TX GOP gerrymandered to gain seats in November, with the Dem and GOP primary vote. Dems outvoted GOPs in every one of them.

I like the “we’ve been at war with iran for 40 years” talking point because by implication surviving members of the reagan bush natsec team should be tried for treason

If Iran has a full copy of the Epstein Files, they should release them. They’ll do more damage than any ballistic missile.

‘Natural gas’ prices in the EU have shot up ~40% in a day on news that Qatar is ceasing liquid ‘natural’ gas production at the world’s largest plant. In related news, sunlight and wind remain free.

Chances are your electricity bills are way up. Here’s a look at how a typical bill has changed in each state during Trump’s first full year in office.

The other time the U.S. decided to overthrow the Iranian government, this didn't include killing the nation's leader.

it’s an irony of ironies that a nation demanding Iran not build nuclear weapons or enrich uranium anymore is spending nearly a trillion $ upgrading the world’s 2nd largest nuclear arsenal while Russia, China, France & the UK are all upgrading their own nuclear arsenals at a cost of more trillions.

While bombs are falling on Iran, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are arguing about process instead of clearly saying this war shouldn’t be happening, and that’s not leadership.

Still true

Bret Stephens had an epiphany after Greenland trip & topped being a climate science denier. But his view that the assault on Iran was a good thing suffers from the same ills as that earlier writing, including a distorted take on the IAEA inspection regime in Iran. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/22/o...
