Just a quick reminder than Hegseth spent 186,000 times the average American's LIFE SAVINGS in a single month on lobster, crab legs, furniture, a grand piano and whiskey.

I know actual war crimes trials are a pipe dream but if they ever brought in Pete Hegseth Iβm getting front row tickets. What an absolute piece of shit.
Two things here.
One, you don't sit there and whine about media coverage and headlines if things are going well.
Two, the administration is just outright saying that they fully expect Ellison to use CNN to be a Trumpist propaganda organ.
Hegseth: "Some in the press can't stop. Allow me to make suggestions. People look at the TV and they see banners, 'Mideast War Intensifies.' What should it read instead? How about, 'Iran increasingly desperate.' More fake news from CNN. The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better"

(between images of a map showing the nearly 3,000 No Kings Day events planned for March 28) NO THRONES. NO CROWNS.
Weβre rapidly approaching 3,000 No Kings Day events, which means March 28 is going to be the biggest protest in US history. Letβs make it clear that America rejects the regimeβs brutality at home and abroad: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...
The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet β and watching to see who refuses to wear them.
It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now β never be the first to stop clapping.
"Thyroid cancer used to be rare in Fukushima Prefecture, with one case in a million.
After five rounds of screening, the incidence rate is now 400 cases out of 380,000 peopleβ1,000 times higher than before the disaster."

Trumpβs war of choice is reportedly costing us $1 billion per day.
No Democrat should vote to give the regime even more money to wage a war that nobody asked for.
Contact your Members of Congress and urge them to oppose any supplemental funding package.
you have to listen to everything he says but also ignore everything he says which is very difficult
The other day I saw a video of an historian (maybe?) saying he didnβt understand why billionaires are opposed to being taxed more because βtaxation is the compromise.β And that last ~500 years teaches us what happens when that compromise is not struck.
Canβt stop thinking about it.
I used to worry the would-be rulers wanted to eliminate us (greed). Then I worried they just wanted to exclude us (greed + indifference). Now I know they want to torture us, and each other (cruelty).

Noem is finally out. Good.
Now letβs make sure sheβs prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Itβs not enough.
War is the biggest environmental crime on Earth. Every bomb dropped poisons the air, the soil, and the water. Cities burn, ecosystems collapse, and generations inherit landscapes filled with toxins, rubble, and trauma. War doesnβt only kill people. It destroys the living systems that sustain life itself. In a time of climate and ecological emergency, escalating conflict is a direct assault on the planet and on our shared future. Extinction Rebellion stands against war. Extinction Rebellion stands against ecocide. A livable world cannot be built on endless violence. Peace, justice, and ecological protection are inseparable.

We are deeply concerned by reports that military commanders are framing the Iran war as βGodβs planβ and invoking Armageddon in official briefings.
Service members swear an oath to the Constitution β not to any religion.
We are reviewing these reports and will demand accountability.
From immediate oversight, to forcing a vote on a War Powers Resolution, to restricting or cutting off funding for unauthorized hostilities, our Members of Congress must use every lever in their toolbox to put an immediate stop to this war.
Make sure your elected officials hear from you.
Tax billionaires out of existence.
AI expert Gary Marcus @garymarcus.bsky.social on why the showdown between Anthropic, a major developer of artificial intelligence models, and the United States Department of War could lead to existential-level catastrophe.
It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...
Appalling: ICE and CBP contracted for $144 million in weaponry and accessories in Trump's first year, per data obtained by Sen Adam Schiff.
For ICE it's a fourfold increase, much of it for military-style weapons. A heavily armed secret police force. 1/
