A really good piece from @vermontgmg.bsky.social abt the normalcy bias with which the press is covering Trump's utter failure to understand what he has done with the Iran war.

At a certain point, Dem Party leadership is responsible for the scapegoating of minorities (immigrants, trans people, Jews) by refusing to present a true & unified counter-narrative:
"billionaires are paying for propaganda to turn us against each other & buying elections to profit at your expense"
I'm a Bussi fan. However, in addition to the skill he showed in his first 25 games, he benefitted from a good bit of luck and a whole lot of goal support (that Andersen almost never got). I think we're seeing some regression to the mean all the way around now. #raiseup
Essential reading
We had a Power Play? Could have fooled me! #raiseup
So to review: Oil > $100 a barrel, ~30% increase at pump. Mortgages >6%. We replaced one Supreme Leader with his more hardline son, whose whole family we killed. We murdered ~160 girls. Everybody in world but Bibi is pissed at us. Spent more in 1 week on war than USAID costed for 6 months.
I've read accusations that Donald J. Trump is a pedophile from thousands of people.
Odd, how the notoriously litigious Trump hasn't filed even *one* lawsuit for defamation.
It's almost as if a lawyer told him that truth is an absolute defense in defamation cases . . .
Better headline: Republicans refuse to fund FEMA, TSA and CISA during their DHS shutdown.
Turning the world over to madmen. That is what is happening. Madmen.
I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.
Why would they pay this woman if her story wasn’t true? Obviously, trump should be hauled in for questioning.
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
It's just impossible to keep up with the stupidity of our government

Those who have tamped down concerns about the SAVE Act’s chance of passage in the Senate are wrong. Keep your eyes on the prize. The potential for a blowout in 2026 is top of mind for Trump, and there are only a few ways to avoid it.
Call your Senators. 202-224-3121.
The response is….comprehensive.
Millionaires stopped paying into Social Security for the rest of 2026 today.
Billionaires stopped paying in on January 1st.
You're going to pay in for 298 more days.
This makes zero sense. The wealthy should pay in all year like the rest of us.
Scrap the cap.
The United States needs to get over the quaint WWII-era notion that it is a force for good in the world. It is not. Especially now.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...
"How will you pay for it?"
The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...
"How much do you need?"
It doesn't have to be this way.
Trump chose this. Republicans in Congress let it happen.
Whew a vertical line 😳
Mojtaba Khamenei is widely considered to be more hardline, ideological, and violent than his father.
Donald is smart that way.
TV Talk Show Chatterbox Pete Hegseth's Pentagon:
A LESSON IN ICE MATH:
"Best of the Best"
+ Xenophobic White Supremacy
= "Worst of the Worst"
The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February.
A record number of Americans are withdrawing from their 401ks to cover expenses.
Americans owe $18.5 trillion in debt — an historic high.
Meanwhile, the wealth of America's 935 billionaires soared by $1.5 trillion in 2025.
“Golden Age” for whom?
They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175
Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game
