Every War Has a Cost. Americans Are Paying It Now. War doesn’t stay overseas. It shows up at the gas pump, at the grocery store, and on the credit card bill.

Boy, 7, dies of brain condition caused by world’s most contagious disease — years after he had it as a baby Even those who make a full recovery from the initial infection face a lurking threat: a deadly disease that remains latent until striking — and killing — years later.

California boy dies of SSPE (measles complication) after being infected at age 7 months, when he was too young to be vaccinated.

I don't think enough people are paying attention to the alarm Marc Elias is sounding.

What Trump is doing in Fulton and Maricopa counties, "is a dry run for 2026. Every time they engage in these tactics, they learn something about the logistics of seizing ballots."

🐔 @SenatorHagerty also silent on ICE grabbing Nashville Noticias reporter Estefany Rodriguez 🤔

they are neo nazis, simple as

So far the war on #Iran has cost $9.4 billion
That's $1 billion per day
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
Thousands of lives lost.
People don't want this
They want a living wage
They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home

In a black and white photo taken by Steve Schapiro, James Baldwin danced “the hitchhike" with CORE worker Doris Castle, New Orleans, 1963.

Today’s small victory: Looked at an inventory of still photos of James Baldwin and learned that I correctly identified the #60s dance (the “Hitchhike”) he was doing in a photo I created metadata for two years ago. Yes, I have knowledge of popular 1960s dances for some reason lol 😆 #photography

HELL NO! We the PEOPLE cannot afford to live WITHOUT Social Security.

Big is right. They are hiding the truth of this war daily and in a thousand ways.

How Can The United States Exit the Disastrous Iran War?

Donald Trump allowed himself to be dogwalked into an illegal war without an exit plan that has engulfed the Middle East, killed civilians and soldiers, and threatens to escalate. Is there a way out?

What the shit is this

Huh. (Strokes chin thoughtfully.)

That this war with Iran is unpopular in a way never before recorded in American history has seen remarkably little attention from the press

David Ellison Visits Warner Bros., Concedes “Turbulent” Start In Meeting With Execs (Exclusive) The CEO talked to the Warners' executive leaders but left some feeling unsatisfied. "We were hoping for more," says one insider.

I say this for every merger because all media consolidation is pointless layoff producing anti-consumer bullshit, but this shitshow is going to be something SPECIAL

If she's not winning, why is AIPAC acting like it?

Went from “taking steps to lay mines” to “laying mines” in like 2 hours lol

Here is a link to a page of @randyhermanlaw.com's live-posts about a case involving #AI and the DOJ that is so SATISFYING to read. Thanks to Jeff Abbott for posting.

Trump: Iran isn't mining the Strait of Hormuz, but if it was we'd destroy it even more destoyedly.

But it isn't.

So I'm asking Iran nicely to take away those mines.

The ones that don't exist.

Also we're blowing up the ships laying the mines, like we sank defenceless drug boats/fishermen.

Boy I sure am glad we don't have a bunch of military bases in the Persian Gulf that rely on ships traveling through the Strait of Hormuz for resupply.

Wyden knows:

KPMG:

Our “Scenario 2” shows the conflict “extending for three to six months .. Oil prices temporarily surge above $130 per barrel until the Strait of Hormuz is fully reopened. Prices do not return to pre-conflict levels until late 2026/early 2027.”

Imprisoned in Iran, and Under Bombardment

Iranian political prisoners — already jailed for protesting their own government — now huddle under beds as U.S.-Israeli airstrikes blow out their cell windows. They're caught in between. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/10/w...

Me the other week: I am so glad im the one Task and Purpose staffer not on the east coast with the snow.

Me reading this:

Can I just say: As weary as you may feel, do not turn away from the degradation and desecrations, the violations and the violence. This is what the lawless Trump regime hopes--that our fatigue will make it easier for them to consolidate their power.
