“Fanaticism turns into a means of salvation, enthusiasm into epileptic ecstasy, politics becomes an opiate for the masses... & reason veils her face” -Thomas Mann(1930)* #BLM * Twitter Refugee * #FBR *If you’re part of the #Resistance, I want to follow you
"The actual Trump is so solipsistic, so plainly consumed with narcissism, so deeply indifferent to the details of governance and so eager to satisfy his basest impulses that there was little chance he’d ever complete the authoritarian consolidation of his dreams."

Me too. Let’s GO!
April 7th, we finish this.
Democrats. Independents. Republicans who are ready for something different — I’m asking for your vote.
We’re getting right back to knocking doors, making calls, and earning every single vote.
This coalition can win. Let’s go do it. #GA14
Runoff last night.
Back at HQ before the sun’s up this morning.
No time to waste. Interviews, organizing, knocking doors — right back to work for April 7.
Let’s finish this. #GA14
Yeah. That seems right to me too AG. I heard some experts say it might have been a “good” or known target, with munitions under ground, where they built a school on top of it on purpose. Even so, we should be aware and that cannot justify mass murder under these circumstances.
Our leaders are sick.
Congratulations to Shawn Harris, a decorated U.S. Army combat veteran endorsed by VoteVets, on advancing to a runoff in #GA14!
This is the guy who likes to downplay non-fatal injuries suffered by US service members in combat.
Thinking about the six lawmakers who told the military they don’t have to obey unlawful orders.
Schatz: We don’t know for sure, but the likely bombing of an elementary school with one of our Tomahawk missiles is not a one-off mistake. It is the result of a change in policy so that the United States has way looser rules of engagement — way more tolerance for civilian harm.
IMHO, I think the use of outdated maps or AI might have played a role. But I am NOT an expert. Nor do I have the knowledge that Schatz would have.
JUST IN: Democrats flip a seat in the New Hampshire state House.
Dem Bobbi Boudman has won today’s special election, NHJournal reports.
(Boudman was the Dem nominee in 2024 & lost by 14%; Trump won here by 9%.)
This is Dems’ third legislative flip so far this year, after Texas and Arkansas.
Last year: e-cigarette makers donate to Trump's bangin' ballroom.
This year: Trump admin says it'll allow e-cigarette makers to offer more, delicious flavors.

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.
Seems Senator Murphy agrees with the sentiment.
* Just saw this.
No it wasn't a sex trafficking ring.
It was a child rape torture and murder ring.
Glad we cleared that up.
👊💥🤣🤣🤣🏆
4/ Ok, so what ARE the goals? It seems, primarily, destroying lots of missiles and boats and drone factories.
But the question that stumped them: what happens when you stop bombing and they restart production?
They hinted at more bombing. Which is, of course, endless war.
2/ Maybe the lead is that the war goals DO NOT involve destroying Iran's nuclear weapons program. This is, uh...surprising...since Trump says over and over this is a key goal.
But then of course we already know air strikes can't wipe out their nuclear material.
5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.
Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.
Murphy's post-briefing thread is .. not heartening.
A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says “they’re having problems with their economy again.”
This is from 1975.
Barron Trump
Kai Trump
Donald Trump III (next Feb)
Gunner Hegseth
Tyler Boebert (pending outcome of his child abuse case)
Brody Boebert (Next summer)
Is anyone working on a list?!
It was the end of times,
It was the worst of end times?
NEWS: Democrat Shawn Harris has forced a runoff in the special election for Marjorie Taylor Greene’s deep-red Georgia seat (Trump +37).
With ~70% in, Harris leads with 38.3% to Trump-endorsed Republican Clay Fuller’s 34.5%.
Runoff set for April 7. A major warning sign for MAGA.
These ignoramuses have spent the last ten years undermining expertise ...They have put all their economic eggs in the basket of AI—a technology seemingly designed to make us stupider.
What happens when a society seeks to eradicate the study of the humanities? That society loses its humanity.
