Illinois primary yesterday proved to be a disaster for those hoping for generational change in the Democratic Party. The easy wins for Schneider and Bean show those still voting for Dems don’t want policy change, they just want their team to win. I’ll be changing my party ID.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

Just informed that my ballot is lost. Voted in plenty of time. It’s not just Republican suppressing the vote, IL Dems doing it through pure incompetence. 😖

Lawyers for the man charged with planting pipe bombs near the Republican and Democratic national committees’ headquarters on Jan. 5, 2021, says in a new court filing that he should be covered by President Trump’s blanket pardon of Jan. 6 defendants.

Iran is trolling Trump again. Hard. This is what happens when global politics becomes reality TV.

Ask Donald Trump what his favorite Billie Holiday song is. If he can’t name one… impeach.

Seems lots of people getting emails claiming to be Microsoft Azure. You'd think the company would alert people about it... but it's Microsoft, after all. In any case, more grifting.

The Chicago Pope cautions journalists to avoid becoming "a megaphone for power" "the task of journalists, in verifying the news so as not to become a megaphone for power, becomes even more urgent and delicate—and indeed, essential." www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news...

Lots of parallels between Trump asking Europe to bail him out on the Iran War and Fred Trump needing to run down to buy $3 million in chips at Trump’s Atlantic City casino to keep it from going into default and losing its gaming license.

On 16th March, 1968 Warrant Officer Hugh Thompson Jnr was flying helicopter recon for a US attack on My Lai, an alleged Viet Cong-controlled village in Vietnam. But as the attack developed below, Thompson realised he was witnessing something something else: A massacre. He decided to act. 1/28

Ouço todos os dias quem repita que o direito internacional não serve para nada. E que o mundo em que mandam os mais fortes é que é. É esta a política de Trump e da extrema-direita que o apoio e da direita que lhe obedece.

Ok let me get this straight: the guy who tariffed the hell out of Europe now wants Europe’s help?

Having a hard time believing this ides of March story, you're telling me senators did something other than send out fundraising texts

I’m telling y’all we could use more of that energy on this side of the pond. Decorum doesn’t work with Republicans who are steamrolling norms and daring Dems to fight back. 📌 Australian Greens Senator Nick McKim accuses his own government of “complicity” in what he calls an “illegal US-led war.”

The Morning After. The Chicago River is holding onto its green glow. Tomorrow, it will be like a mint slurpee with the snow that is forecasted.

Portuguese are paying $2 MORE per gallon thru no fault of their own It’s because that lying sack of shit squatting in what’s left of the WH decided he needed a major war to distract from the fact he was best friends for 15 years with the world’s most notorious sex trafficker in young girls

Sánchez ya no está tan solo como al principio en su rechazo a la guerra en Irán. Poco a poco, varios países han girado hacia la posición española. Sin embargo, en Europa también tendrá un opositor radical y muy poderoso, el alemán Friedrich Merz

This piece is quite chilling. Anti-alcohol sentiment is seeping into all walks of life, particularly in America.

Mar Espinar, Spain’s PSOE deputy, on Isabel Díaz Ayuso’s support for Trump: “Take your mafioso chief of staff, go to Mar-a-Lago, and leave us here — because we are more like the brave ones from Minnesota”

U.S. leaders were told: "declare victory and go home" in Vietnam as early as 1966, but fought for 7 more years and thousands of pointless deaths The Trump regime has lost an even more senseless war in Iran in just 2 weeks. The time for leaving is now My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/iran...

Just received a text message about an unpaid traffic violation. It was from a Gmail account, and last name was “crazy”. Sadly, by sending out millions of these they inevitably snare enough people to make it very profitable.

This is an actual post from the official White House account. We’re being trolled by fifteen-year-old boys playing computer games.

Leaders of both parties should be calling for Witkoff's immediate resignation after these remarks. He is a Russian patsy, a traitor, and this has just gone for too long. It is has to end.
