Billboard in Tehran feat. 3 consecutive leaders in a poppy field.

Let’s end this foolish war.
But this is not giving “unconditional surrender” vibes.

The grim choice facing the Trump administration: Economic or naval collapse? | CNN Business The Trump administration is currently trapped between the specter of a global economic recession and a naval catastrophe.

The entirely foreseeable, yet somehow unforeseen, mess in the Strait of Hormuz helps explain Trump’s 180 degree shift yesterday on how long his Iran War will last. Pathetic, and dangerous, incompetence.

As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy

Despite Using Iranian Meddling to Justify War, Trump Axes Election Defenses It's hypocritical for the President to pretend to care about foreign actors influencing US elections, writes Paul M. Barrett.

Trump is signaling that he's going to try to use his fascist war against Iran to justify restrictions on elections in the U.S. I explain in this new piece for Tech Policy Press (spoiler alert: I draw on Tim Snyder and Marc Elias to make the case -- it's scary). www.techpolicy.press/despite-usin...

In Scathing Ruling, Judge Finds 3 Trump Prosecutors Are in Unlawful Roles

In the wake of We Habba Big Problem, utter chaos continues to reign in the U.S. Attorney's Office in New Jersey. They are REALLY putting the clown in Bozo Fascism. No shame, no competence, just lizard-brain undermining of the rule of law. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...

So proud to see @juliemoreno.bsky.social speaking out for American Families United's members and millions of Americans in mixed-status relationships who are impacted by our immigration system.

Trump has invoked Iran’s past attempts to influence US elections as a justification for war. But his administration has decimated CISA and stopped the FBI from investigating foreign election interference, writes Paul M. Barrett. Is Trump building a case to intervene in future elections?

I think a lot of these young people (men especially) are ingesting this mindset online.

Gee it’s almost like every time someone gives young Republicans a platform, they start spewing a volcano of virulent racism (not to mention misogyny, homophobia, antisemitism. And yeah, they’re Hitler-curious, of course).

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

If Israel wants to fight terrorism, it can start right at home by shutting down illegal West Bank settlements and prosecuting Israeli terrorist murderers. Having real enemies like Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah cannot become a justification for descending into barbarism. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/08/w...

Letter to citizens bank closing accounts “because of the bank’s continued financing of the private prison industry - specifically GEO Group and Core Civic.”

Here’s the letter we sent Citizens after closing our account in December. One couple lost, one letter written may not do much. 100 probably would. Are you a Citizens customer? JOIN US.

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

We don’t yet know if Estefany Rodríguez’s detention was in retaliation for her reporting but we certainly wouldn’t be surprised.

ICE abductions of noncitizen journalists take the reporters best equipped to cover immigration enforcement off the beat.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.
