Just an average person who is sick of the damage that corporate greed has wrought across so many societies. I believe they won't be satisfied until they control every government, and our whole planet is on 🔥. I think they call this "shareholder value".
Even as a cynical scholar of rape culture, I'm shocked that this isn't the headline story on domestic politics everywhere right now. It's just an unfathomable abuse of power, in clear violation of the law.

Sen. Murphy: “The DOD told us that [Iran’s] nuclear program and getting rid of it is not an objective of this war. Literally, in my other ear, I'm listening to Ted Cruz on another network explain why this military mission is so essential to destroy the nuclear program."
A formerly incarcerated man credits a novel workforce development program in Oregon for helping him find stability after his release from prison. “This program has been my light at the end of the tunnel.”
Remember this when your student loan payments go through the roof, Biden tried to help and then relief was gutted by the courts...🎓💰 www.cnbc.com/2026/03/10/s...
Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"
Summing up Iran news today, I think.
- US/Israel strikes continue
- Iran doesn't want talks, still firing on neighbors
- US asked Israel to stop hitting Iranian energy infra
- US claimed to be escorting tankers
- oops no it isn't
- Mines in the water
- ~80-90% of Iran mine laying capacity intact

NEW: A recently developed Defense Department program was meant to reduce civilian harm during military operations.
But months before the Iran war, the mission was dissolved as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made “lethality” a top priority.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.
For the moment!

BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiar—far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)
Murphy: "Literally in my other ear I'm listening to Ted Cruz on another network explain why this mission is so essential to destroy the nuclear program. I may have to walk over there and tell him the admin is now briefing that getting rid of the nuclear program has nothing to do with this mission."
NEW: When the FBI subpoenaed documents from a legislative audit of the 2020 presidential election in Maricopa County, Arizona, it opened another front in President Donald Trump’s attack on free and fair elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Please just believe us when we promise to save you loads of money in government. Whatever you do, don’t look at what we have actually done in practice with the local authorities we run, which is increase taxes, cut services and lose 1 in every 10 councillors.
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

Some experts worry the younger Khamenei could take the step that experts say his father never did, and race to build a nuclear bomb. "A war that was meant to prevent Iran from having a bomb could be the war that actually pushed Iran beyond the Rubicon to reach a bomb," said Danny Citrinowicz, an analyst at the Atlantic Council, a think tank, and former head of the Iran branch of Israel's military intelligence.

A tweet from Nicholas Grossman (@NGrossman81): You think "all politicians are corrupt" cynicism makes you wise, but it just makes you a mark. Your belief is false—some politicians are very corrupt, some modestly corrupt, some squeaky clean—and your false belief leads you to accept big corruption as normal when you shouldn't.
I think about this tweet like 3x a week nowadays.
