It seems that Trump the bull shit artist has met his match in the expert trolls of the Iranian regime.

We demand a government that doesn't LIE LIE LIE and LIE to the citizens it's supposed to SERVE. If Trump and his minions had any decency they'd RESIGN. But they don't and won't, so we must vote them out.

Yesterday Elon Musk retweeted "white solidarity is the only way to survive". In our numb overwhelmed media environment it barely made headlines that the world's richest man endorsed blood-curdling white nationalism. My brief writeup for @religiondispatches.org religiondispatches.org/elon-musk-ju...

This may be the most powerful 85 seconds I've ever seen on television.

Important thread:

Wrong. If you’re a coward who refuses to step up to protect your constituents from a tyrant then you’re not a good person.

Cool cool so our tax dollars pay ICE agents to stand around at airports scrolling their iPhones while TSA agents work unpaid. And now we see ICE can work just fine unmasked. Dressing like Nazi goons while disappearing people is a choice.

"He wanted to invade a European Union country not long ago, Greenland...and now he needs us. Frankly he can go fuck himself."

How are Republicans going to gaslight us when the world runs out of gas?

👇🎯 "It was a tie!"

We’re being governed by the stupidest people alive.

"Bunch of guys obsessed with Ancient Sparta can't beat the Persians at sea" was probably one of the known-knowns, come to think of it.

Good piece (as usual by @gregsargent.bsky.social ) Two things simultaneously true: 1) Trump is becoming weaker, in *every* way, by the hour. 2) Precisely for that reason, he is becoming more dangerous. "Raccoon with rabies" is the metaphor I keep in mind.

Imagine if the dumbest person in the world and humanity’s biggest asshole were the same person, and that guy was president. Then imagine he started a war with Iran. Now check the news. One look, and here’s what you should be thinking: “Yep, that tracks.” trib.al/RqNnIHS

Brilliant. US invaded Iran to replace an old, dying Khameini with a younger, more radical Khameini and to BUY oil from the Islamic Republic and give them MORE money. GENIUS STUFF! www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

NEW: 16 projects were just awarded the California TV Tax Credit, including upcoming seasons of The Pitt, I Love LA, and the first animated and competition shows in the history of this program. These shows are set to generate $1.3 billion statewide and 4,500+ new jobs.

From “envy of the world” to stagflation in two years.

Trump supporters are DUMB. All of them. Including the government of Qatar, which bribed Trump with a $400M Boeing 747 jumbo jet. In return Trump started a war of choice with Iran that got Qatar's gas plant bombed. Cost to repair will be an over $20 BILLION.

The Trump Administration attempted to make an example of Minnesota during Operation Metro Surge. Instead, Minnesotans set an example for the rest of the country that decency and compassion will always triumph over fear and division. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

The essential background info here is that this was the theory presented as if it were unassailable — that a warrant for arrest means the president can just bomb his way into a sovereign country to effectuate it

"Bothsiding" is a form of disinformation. That's why the exhausting Trump-supporting Sara Eisen doesn't belong on The View as a co-host. Intelligent discussion is one thing. Propaganda is another. Enough of her. And criticism of Israel and Netanyahu isn't anti-semitism.

Maybe Trump will make the Marines wear sneakers so he can say he put no boots on the ground. And battles on islands, you know, like Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, Okinawa etc, don't count as war.

If Paramount can shell out billions of dollars to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, then they can pay their unionized CBS staff a fair wage. I stand with the CBS staff who walked out today as they fight these corporate giants for essential protections and fair contracts.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

We cannot give this FCC more power than it has. Broadcasters, journalists, and the public should recognize these empty threats for what they are and fight to defend the First Amendment against any attempt to control or intimidate the press. 🧵

I'm going with the Pope on this.

Hello?

Could be some reasons that the US Constitution does not leave this decision to the whims of one man.

This is an incredible documentation of the systematic, intentional collapse of American health science, by Elizabeth Ginexi. open.substack.com/pub/elizabet...

FACT: This convicted felon president has issued more pardons than the last six presidents combined, as he uses the powerful presidential tool to command loyalty - and grift even more money for himself and his family. #TrumpCrimeFamily

Yep. Trump asked “what the hell do you have to lose” by electing me, and, now, we are getting another reminder that the answer is “a lot.”

The fact that I set fire to the house underscores the fact that I need to call the fire department.

Cops are great Also: guillotines are the moderate solution

“The administration is on track for the deadliest year in ICE detention in more than two decades.” ENOUGH. ABOLISH ICE.

BOOM: Proof that Big Oil worked with the CIA to plan Trump’s regime change in Venezuela. Same as they did in Iran in 1953. Same as they are trying to do again, and if they have to murder Iranian schoolgirls, so be it.

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” ― The Great Gatsby (1925)

Nobody could have predicted that an ex-Fox News host whose go-to move was advocating for accused war criminals would turn around and commit war crimes

Inside the Department of War are two wolves: "We've shut down the Colleges of War because book learnings are woke, gay, and irrelevant to war fighting." "How come no one told us the Strait is important, there are different kinds of Kurds, Iran is big, and air power historically doesn't win wars?"

Behold my 3rd grade class picture from Tehran American school. We lived in Iran in 1960s — my father built the (recently bombed) oil facilities on Kharg Island in the Gulf. Anyone who lives in Iran falls in love with its awesome people, and I wish them deliverance from their long nightmare.
