Well, well, well... I don't want to hear a damned thing about why Mamdani really HAD to break his campaign and post election promises re our library budget. You all should be pushing him to do what he said he would do.
i dont understand did iran not see his truth ordering them to knock it off
Just a reminder that the Democratic Party enables Republicans to do whatever damage they can when they’re in power and then cleans it up while telling everyone that they really wish things could change but it just isn’t time to do it yet. Because of the messes, of course.
“We are here because when injustice becomes law, then resistance is necessary,” Rieber said. “We are here as moral witnesses.”

It took over 24 hours of grinding floor debate, but Democrats in the Washington House approved an income tax Tuesday on households earning over $1 million a year. washingtonstatestandard.com/2026/03/10/w...
It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.
This is Trump & Miller's signature issue. They ALWAYS meant mass deportation and Miller vowed it'd be biggest infrastructure project ever
He got what he wanted and people fucking hate it
They may not say "mass deportation" but as long as Miller is there, it's what they are doing so keep saying it
lol DOJ is down to the people who put an apostrophe before a plural ‘s’
Announcing: Coming to PBS on April 1!
LIFE UNEARTHED with Ariel Waldman is a visually striking science-driven nature series that reveals Earth’s ecosystems through radical shifts in scale—from microscopic wildlife to the planet’s most iconic species, and even the potential for life beyond Earth. 🧪🦠
Chuck Grassley long ago staked out Pentagon waste as a wheelhouse. That was always self-serving theater, because it was trivial compared to today, and the racist and fascist Grassley is invisible.
Were trans people the only members of the military who can understand concepts like "constricted seaways are easier to make dangerous than to make safe" and "you can't just try and kill literally everything from the sky"?
The Singularity is upon us: Apple's AI summarized a text message that read "I'm still down to clown if you are" to.... "clown event still possible."
The flip side of the original post is also true, folks! The US could double the gas tax and people would barely feel it.
Also, did you know most gum is plastic? Sorry, I’m just ruining everything today.
You’ll spend much more fixing your car’s suspension later since the highway trust fund will go bankrupt. So you better enjoy the shit out of that gum.
America is about to learn how tiny the federal gas tax has been all this time. 18¢ per gallon, unchanged since 1993 and not tied to inflation. Fill your SUV’s tank and you can buy half a pack of gum on Uncle Sam.
I realized today that I know, off the top of my head, just three straits:
Gibraltar
Hormuz
Magellan
Any others that are, like, top five most famous straits?
Responding "Dire" to a prompt about the top five most famous straits is just shootin' fish in the dad joke barrel, but this? #Art!
I want my empty sea 🎶
I've been looking at the "Dire" responses and literally going to myself "huh, the Strait of Dire, I guess i don't know that one" and then ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Dire.
Hot dog man meme pasted over free speech man meme
it's (yet another) reason i reject the 'we need a normal centre right back' notion
i've got time for people who defected to our side, but anyone who went along with this is never to be trusted with governance ever again

same on immigration- it's long been held that the right has more credibility on the issue
after recent horrors, we need to make the case they can never be trusted again on it - see my convo with @gregsargent.bsky.social

the 1970s oil embargo & resulting stagflation was felt to discredit the left on economics for two generations
& this is a million times stupider & more avoidable than that
Before I move on I will say that these guys are seriously dangerous when it comes to our democracy. They are learning a lot from AIPAC and they are just getting started.
As an aside, I was physically attacked last month while moderating a book talk on nonviolence.
This stuff is real.
@chicagotribune.com also mentions connections to Hindu nationalist organizations. This is not part of the report but It is a huge part of my work with SACRED ACTS.
Rep. Krishnamoorthi also took almost $200K from a short list of weapons manufacturers. Several of these companies saw stock prices bumps when Trump suggested a raise in the DoD budget.
In yesterday's @wttw.bsky.social debate Krishnamoorthi would not say he would block funding for the war in Iran.
