RESULT: Over & over, Democratic lawmaker Shelly Willingham helped the North Carolina GOP override the vetoes of Governor Stein & Cooper. He lost just now to a progressive challenger, 56% to 44%. (And he's likely one of several in this position. Stay tuned.)

NOW: Protesters rally outside the White House chanting, “We won’t pay for war and slaughter!” This marks the third day in a row of protests against the US-Israeli war on Iran. #trump #politics #currentevents #news #military #war #iran

Just a quick reminder that Pete Hegseth was also the Fox News host who said he never washes his hands, because he doesn't believe in micro organisms as he can't see them. Of course we're all fucked

Workers at the Thomson Reuters' Eagan campus pressed their concerns to executives, including over potential misuse of license plate data, during Twin Cities immigration surge.

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were. These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War. Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35 Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42 Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39 Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20

These are sick, weird, twisted people. All of them.

Abolish ICE has a +11 approval — which means it is *32 points* more popular than Donald Trump Ask yourself: does corporate media portray that accurately?

Around 100 people called for an end the United States blockade of Cuba and Venezuela at Sydney Town Hall on February 28, the anniversary of the 1989 Caracazo revolt in Venezuela. www.greenleft.org.au/2026/1448/ne...

The vote on Rep. Massie and my WPR comes down to this. Are you with Lindsey Graham who was for the regime change war in Iraq, Libya and now Iran, or are you with those Americans who are tired of being dragged into wars in the Middle East and want us to focus on jobs and healthcare at home?

Recent tax filings from the Conservative Partnership Institute, led by notorious election deniers Cleta Mitchell & Mark Meadows, show that CPI massively increased funding to Mitchell’s efforts to create a national panic over essentially nonexistent instances of noncitizen voting in the 2024 election

One of the things we argue here is that the priority should be demanding "no war." Not "hold a vote" or "follow procedure." It's stop killing children at school, stop bombing apartments, stop a violent, rapidly expanding war of domination. Ridiculous this needs to be said but discourse is so rotten.

America and its haram, unholy, debased journalism practices deserve to crumble & be replaced by something better

It's genuinely insane that many of the newspaper columnists who cheered us into the war in Iraq are still employed at big legacy outlets cheering us into a new war with Iran.

You'll never guess who, in recent years, acquired a private credit firm, an infrastructure fund manager, and a private markets analytics firm whose data create the narrative that it's 'not enough'

“A combat-unit commander told non-commissioned officers at a briefing Monday that the Iran war is part of God’s plan and that Pres. Donald Trump was ‘anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth,’”

By allowing US forces to use British bases to bomb Iran, Keir Starmer is echoing Tony Blair’s obedience to Washington — dragging Britain into yet another costly, catastrophic and illegal war. My piece for @tribunemagazine.bsky.social. tribunemag.co.uk/2026/03/star...

The first bill out of the Trump administration was the Laken Riley Act. Only one Minnesota Democrat voted to support it. Since then, the president has used it to separate families and detain thousands of people without due process. Nothing can undo the damage that has been done.

Joined colleagues and faith leaders in a message of peace and unity, breaking bread together. Thanks to Reps Samakab Hussein and Dave Baker for a meaningful evening. Ramadan Mubarak!

I just sent my daughter off to her elementary school. I don't have words for the absolute horror of my watching my own government carry out such a monstrous act. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/01/w...

for those of you who werent adults during iraq, its hard to overstate how much the media loves war porn. they salivate over pentagon spin briefings. they love stories about all the bombs and how supposedly infallible they are. they love the notion of the commander in chief, in the situation room etc

Pete Hegseth: “War is hell and always will be.” Tommy Tuberville: “It’s war, it’s gonna git worse before it gets better.” Markwayne Mullin: “War is ugly.” Mike Johnson asked why War Powers Act is being ignored: “It’s not a war because it’s defensive in nature and design.”

The attack on Iran, like previous unilateral military actions, is paid for by our patients! Working class people across the United States are already struggling to afford health care, food, and housing. www.nationalnursesunited.org/press/nurses...

Anti-war protests held around U.S. after attack on Iran. "...‘emergency protests’ on Saturday [included] Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Denver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami and Minneapolis. Others will be held on Sunday in smaller cities..." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

OMFG they think we are the dumbest people who ever lived.

Lockheed Martin Board Roll Call. The stock has been up over 45 percent in the last six months as Trump has prepped for this stupid fucking war. They're making a killing on killing.

I don't care if Congress authorizes War on Iran. NO WAR ON IRAN. I want people to fucking reclaim their morality.

🚨 BREAKING: Israel has struck and destroyed the headquarters of Al Manar TV in Haret Hreik, a densely populated suburb in Beirut’s southern district. Al Manar is the television network affiliated with Hezbollah.

jesus fucking christ

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints. One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

The real president.

"The only way to read this half-hearted response from the Democratic Party leadership is de facto support." essential writing from @sarahlazare.bsky.social and @ahjohnson.bsky.social www.thenation.com/article/poli...

I had to punch you because my friend was about to punch you and you might have punched back and hit me by accident. #JustWar

The threat to US forces was literally Israel. And, yet, Canadian PM Carney dutifully called Iran the cause of all problems in the Middle East. This is mass gaslighting. Again.

The stakes could not be higher. The US-Israeli war on Iran is catastrophic—and rapidly expanding across the region. Yet Democratic leaders are failing to muster a clear, anti-war response. Instead it's sleepy, feigned opposition after the deed is done. By me and @ahjohnson.bsky.social

the administration of rapists has finally found someone who responds to getting punched in the face with "you know what, motherfucker, I don't have to take that lying down" and they quite literally do not know what to do about it besides try to do the "i'm just a little birthday boy" shit

I finally got records on a little-known tax incentive program the state of Missouri has been using to lure data centers here. It's the first $$ we've gotten from officials www.stltoday.com/news/local/b...

For a few hundred years, towns across New England have conducted Town Meeting Days via floor votes, which can be inaccessible to disabled people. This situation shows how accessibility and tradition can go head-to-head. My latest for @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Let me remind that in the run up to Iraq 2003, 'realist' scholars who opposed the war, some of whom had been regular oped contributors before, couldnt place in the NYT or WaPo at all, eventually paying to run an oped as an advertisement.

US aircraft leave Spain after government says bases cannot be used for Iran attacks

During the 12 day war, the death toll in Iran was around 1000. In only 48 hours, over 500 Iranians have been killed. At least 165 of those were school children and others at a school murdered in one strike x.com/lcmporter/st...

The NYT made a big to-do about hiring Michelle Alexander as a columnist and then published her like three times.

Mark Carney is a former bank executive who flattered the world with a pretty speech but is as committed to the corrupt consensus that created the conditions for Trump as anyone
