Coming up on 30 years since the Dunblane school shooting massacre (13th March 1996) and watching another documentary about it. The families wanted to end legal handgun ownership and we passed those laws. We’ve not had a school shooting since. I ache for all Americans who cannot get this done there.
The reason they do this is even dumber than you think.
Every single day, it's a new moral injury. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/u...
“I wholly support Governor Tom Wolf’s moratorium on the death penalty, and this effort from Representatives Rabb and Ryan will move Pennsylvania to the correct side of history in repealing this inhumane, antiquated, expensive, and flawed system of punishment,” Fetterman said.

BOMBSHELL: Trump Accuser Got Payoff from Jeffrey Epstein Estate! Today Epstein's former accountant Richard Kahn testified under oath to Congress that a Trump accuser “was given a settlement” by Jeffrey Epstein’s estate. So Epstein helped Trump cover up crimes! www.mediaite.com/media/news/b...
Trump endorsed GOP candidate Brandon Herrera tonight.
Here is Brandon recreating the assassination of MLK and then shooting the target dummy at close range.
He then chuckled and said, “This is so fucking wrong.”
Pregnant children face serious risks and lifelong consequences if they carry to term, and often need adult guidance in making a decision. It makes no sense to be "pro-life" or "pro-choice" in these cases. We should be pro-abortion when the patient is a child.

Now imagine that under fascism.

The Trump administration has yet to sign a contract for a single new transit project www.urban.org/urban-wire/r...
Even so, Congress designated 21 transit projects for funding in a recent spending bill.
I did a little more investigation to understand the status of some of these projects 🧵
Before the 2024 Election, you heard Trump's promises and his opponents" warnings. Based on the results to date, where does truth stand?

There Have Been No Approvals for New Transit Projects in the First Year of the Current Trump Administration
For the 1st time in the 1st year of a presidential administration since at least 1993, under Trump 2, the Federal Transit Administration signed 0 new contracts for major transit projects, like subways or light rail.
The US is facing a crisis of rail transit investment: www.urban.org/urban-wire/r...
On March 8, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Six male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear UNCLASSIFIED
We’re still murdering people in “drug boats” even as we start a new war in Iran. Six people today.
Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/
Elon Musk has already started plans to launch a million satellites.
Yes. A MILLION.
This is a colossally bad idea, and it's not too late to make your voice heard. I explain everything:

I think one of the most staggering industry shifts in my 16 years as a tech reporter is that it’s not become a question of “should our product help the government kill and/or surveil people?” but “to what extent?”

A friend calls Congress the "complaint department for capitalism" and when you see so many volunteer to neuter themselves so they can keep serving the war monger lobbyists without having to officially endorse them, hard to disagree.
"Trump has no ideological commitment. He likes his foreign policy 'one and done': kidnap Venezuela's prez, drop a MOAB on Afghanistan. He sees it like reality TV: these are plot twists in his season finales. I’m worried the war on Iran is a series finale — for Earth."

If you took $1 billion and gave it to the endowment of a different small college each day, they could each provide a free college education to several hundred students per year in perpetuity. Instead we are using that money to bomb schools and kill students in Iran, for no clearly stated purpose.

If Mullin became DHS Secretary shortly, the (Republican) governor would appoint his (Republican) successor.
Mullin would also presumably drop his reelection campaign this year; the filing deadline is next month.
The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.
War is hell, but there is a special eternal hell reserved for people who would double tap a girls’ school, and it is our job to have scrupulously fair trials and then usher the people responsible for it there
If anyone still needs an answer to why we have a separation of church and state, officials citing a biblical duty to Israel while expressing a willingness to send American soldiers to their deaths to “light a signal fire in Iran” should settle that question for the rest of time
Basically, what the Department of Justice argued in court today was that RFK Jr. has the absolute authority to kill millions of people with impunity.
I do not exaggerate.
Olympic Drosophilist, y’all!!! 🪰 I’m suddenly interested in skiing!
Again: Not hyperbole, misinterpretation, or a joke that Christian Dominionism is a strain of apocalyptic accelerationism which VERY LITERALLY SEEKS to hasten their vision of the Biblical end of the world, & the people who believe this have VERY CAREFULLY worked their way into the halls of U.S. power
