I bought a combined $100+ in gas on Friday/Saturday for a UHaul and thank goodness it was in Louisiana/Houston so I paid $2.99/gal.

tariffs happening for no reason and theyre making your life worse, secret police kidnapping people for no reason and making your life worse, firing thousands of government employees for no reason and making your life worse, going to war with iran for no reason and making your life worse

Dozens of U.S. service members in Kuwait suffered serious injuries, including burns, brain trauma and shrapnel wounds, sources say About 30 U.S. service members remained hospitalized Tuesday after an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait.

⚠️ An Iranian drone attack in Kuwait that killed US service members in the early hours of the Iran War was more severe than previously admitted, with dozens suffering injuries that included brain trauma, shrapnel trauma and burns.

You have to make sacrifices for the very clear and articulated objectives of our War in Iran that is also not a war that we’ve also already won

Yesterday morning was $3.89 and on my drive home up to $3.99. I wish I had a personal tanker to stock up, but just gonna have to pay the wildly increasing costs. It’s almost up a whole dollar.

Annie Abrams is doing some of the best commentary on ongoing efforts to make k-12 teaching increasingly rigid and unimaginative, with teachers themselves enjoined to be little more than automatons. Strong pressure to use teaching scripts — scripts that encourage children to memorize but not think.

I think this is a good thread. As a parent, it’s a practice to take your own ego out of the relationship with your teen and remember that teens do care a lot about what their family thinks (even if they don’t always act like it :)

Basically the entire theory of not acting like a liar, bully, monster etc, aside from one's moral committments is that over time, acting like that makes people not want to interact with you or do business with you, etc... Trump's entire life theory is: what if you can get away with it forever?

Support the people patrolling the streets to keep our neighbors safe from ICE! They have been working so hard, and as gas prices rise, their work gets more expensive too.

I sent them $50 today! Can you?

(International folks can send me PayPal and I’ll pass it along! @coldwater, put ⛽️ in memo)

👀 ICE deported two U.S. citizen children with their mother to Guatemala, even though she had apparently elected to leave them with their grandmother in Florida.

The govt is now arranging their return under court order: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

So fascinating because during Trump I, she made a point of voting against every nominee. That’s because she was angling for the 2020 Pres race. Now she’s just D-Crypto.

18 Dems just voted *today* for Trump’s agenda. Does it make sense yet why they’re so unpopular?

Clergy-led activists block entry into Kansas Senate in protest over bathroom law • Kansas Reflector Rabbi Moti Rieber sat on the tiled floor, legs akimbo, in front of the arched passage leading to the Kansas Senate chamber with at least 20 people behind him and more lining the walls with handmade si...

Hey I want you to see what we did today kansasreflector.com/2026/03/10/c...

The core revelation here is that Trump has lost the public *on the mass deportations themselves* and not just on ICE's brutal tactics. We have been arguing this for months but media has simply refused to acknowledge it. Now so obvious that it can't be avoided

Welp. Car is parked again. Safety inspection rejection. SNAP comes tomorrow, but I'm going to be paying a bunch for grocery delivery. (It's definitely cheaper than getting the car from impound.) Trying for a $50 cushion for fees and tip. Thanks in advance

Recently, Ta-Nehisi Coates said, “Well, they’re killing people in the streets. I don’t like to say I told you so, but I saw this coming years ago, and they said I was being too alarmist. But it’s consistent with what the United States is as a country.“

I feel like this is an insult to the weed protein vape

bro they named a drink after my expensive moisturizer lmao

Fuck ICE. Free Palestine. Vote Kat.

I talked to dozens of experts in government, academia, cybersecurity, and industry about exactly this scenario last year and not only did not one of them think I was being alarmist, many brought it up unprompted and many said there was zero chance it hadn’t already happened

So please, if you can, I’d love to have this thread list pro-Trans everything. Creators, craftspeople, writers, artists, activists…if you or someone you know deserves some celebrating, bring it the fuck on, okay?

Buy stuff if you can.

They hate when people stand up.
