Trump says he won’t sign any other bills until the SAVE Act is passed, which requires voters to show proof of citizenship with expensive documents like passports. Reminder: noncitizen voting is already illegal and incredibly rare. This is about voter suppression, plain and simple.

If Bellingcat has confirmed this, then surely the Pentagon knows it hit the girls’ school too — and is simply lying to us about that fact right now. This should be unacceptable in a thousand different ways.

NEW piece from me @goodauth.bsky.social on the disastrous consequences of Trump and Rubio dismantling U.S. diplomacy. Managing the Iran War will be much harder; so will picking up the pieces. Diplomacy is a tool of war AND of peace. (Loosely based on thread below.) goodauthority.org/news/trump-a...

The most effective way to ensure that the HEU has not been diverted for weapons use is through a diplomatic agreement in which Israel & the US would forswear further attacks, and Iran would provide all the information and access to fully account for the stockpile. thebulletin.org/2025/07/iran...

One week ago I wrote that this war had no purpose and no prospect of succeeding. “Iran does not pose an imminent threat…Iran’s nuclear program is dormant; it is not racing to a bomb. Iranian missiles cannot hit most of Europe and even less North America.” thebulletin.org/2026/02/pres...

This is why China is poised to become the new world power. As the world moves into the future, we remain mired in the past. Why? Because of oil money and a ridiculous and destructive "anti-woke" worldview that hates all progress, unless it's destructive progress (AI and mass surveillance, etc.)

There are many ways of going forward, but only one way of standing still. --- Franklin D. Roosevelt open.spotify.com/track/1jDJFe...

If you think trump is risking “world war 3” here as bad and as transnational as it is/gonna get, if I had to analogize it to a world war, I would absolutely not compare it to the second. We are part of a collapsing empire starting bloodbaths for brain dead mad king reasons where…

For those keeping track, we’re at the “secretary of war announces genocide” stage of the US descent into fascism.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

So Iran now has, perhaps for the first time, information about the location of our most sensitive covert sites in the region. A completely foreseeable, unnecessary consequence of unnecessary war with Iran.

This is an astounding and irresponsible and obvious lie by the Commander in Chief. This feels like another unthinkable red line crossed.

President Trump on Saturday blamed Iran for an airstrike that hit an Iranian elementary school on February 28, killings scores of children. An analysis by The New York Times indicates that the school was most likely hit by an American airstrike. Follow live updates.
