Almost makes sense after achieving nothing in a war without reason to say it’s kind of fulfilled its purpose and move on.

Billionaires Are Swaying Elections in All Corners of America

Today in incessant reminders of the staggering anti-democratic ravages inflicted on this country by the Roberts court.

“Billionaires made 19 percent of all reported federal campaign contributions in 2024, and are reaping the rewards.”

Has there been any reporting questioning that reporting - seems like it’d be good to know, though that can be said of too many things right now.

Statements like this from Trump will make the oil market reaction *worse*

No one who has any idea how the oil market works is buying it—all this does is make it seem like Trump believes it, which means the base case length of this disruption is growing ever-longer.

Tick. Tock.

There was a very brief hiatus I believe between the Vietnam draft and requiring that we had to register again in case it was ever reinstated — I was in the first year or two of 18 yr olds when they did that and I still have the selective service card they sent me.

If only this were true. We never would have had the Iraq war if the public, outside the military caste, felt a direct stake. No hawk wants the draft. It’s an electoral nightmare for warmongers.

Israeli Settlers Kill 3 Palestinians in a Weekend of West Bank Violence

In all, six Palestinian civilians have been killed in the West Bank since the start of the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran just over a week ago, in what appears to be an intensification of settler violence while worldwide attention is focused elsewhere.

The March 15, 2025, killing of Ruben Ray Martinez drew almost no public attention.

But Martinez is now the first known American citizen shot to death by federal immigration agents during President Trump’s second term. https://wapo.st/4lbpGYC

RIP, Country Joe McDonald. Time to make popular his "Fixin'-To-Die-Rag" -- an anti-war song -- again. "Yeah, come on all of you, big strong men, Uncle Sam needs your help again. He's got himself in a terrible jam."
