Hegseth is flat-out war-criminal lying that they’re shooting missiles from schools and hospitals. (Nb: @clashreport is not a reliable source, but the quote from Hegseth is verified.)
Great investigative journalism here.
Iran: Since we aren’t allowed nuclear weapons, we will build a defensive missile shield
US: That’s offensive
#TrumpsWar
Great thread by Stancil and astute point by Roberts about why the media class continuously lets him get away with it.
More details about #TrumpsWar than I’ve seen yet.
“Why the hell didn’t *I* think to order a fuck plane??”
Also, since apparently Trump et al don’t want us to talk about those “assassination attempts,” [why???] which in any other world would’ve been covered relentlessly, there has been/is ZERO discussion, let alone evidence, that those were orchestrated by Iran. #TrumpsWar
Running through his relatively empty head: “Don’t make me say DEI is ANYTHING that isn’t solely white male focused and glorifying! It’s all in the EO!”
I think “complicit” is the word.
And serve his overlord, Putin (who’s making a killing on #TrumpsWar even as he feeds Iran intelligence about best places to bomb American troops)
Doesn't matter if this was the best school in the country, I'd remove my kids from there in a heartbeat. No way, no how.
Thank you @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social and also my wonderful representative @sarajacobs.house.gov for freeing this all-American family from two hellhole #TrumpPrisonCamps. And yes, I very much mean "all-American." #NoFascistUSA #AbolishICE #AbolishDHS
If you’re Russia!
I swear this is nothing more complicated than Trump World not wanting Rubio’s manhood questioned
Answer to Lindsey’s insincere question: because they fucking own you*.
* you = Trump, Vance, Lindsey, and all complicit (basically all) GOP
Maybe it’s just a way to manipulate oil prices w/his other oligarch buddies. He’s stupid, fascist, capricious & evil, but he can smell a money-maker 10,000 miles away. And his boys are very recently invested in a new drone company. Yes, he is callous enough to start a war—kill people—to make bank.
Biden-Harris did more for the working class than any administration since Johnson at least. (There are receipts.) She ran a stellar campaign (w/the possible exception of not dealing w/the war on Gaza). She lost bc of voter suppression, racism, and misogyny. If OP means we need to address that…ok.
My husband & I traveled to Holland & Spain last summer & had hundreds of great conversations w/people, who within 15 seconds figured out that we LOATHED Trump & would sooner have cut off our right hands than vote for him. They were to a person kind in expressing concern for the future of the US.

And his daughter and sister 😳

Normies might not be so inclined to protect those fleeing ICE/CBP/DHS/CIS/ALL OF THEM if the operations were indeed targeted. They are the opposite of that, of course. Good on the good folks at King Chavez.

In a lifetime of public record, Donald Trump hasn't spared a single gesture of genuine respect for those who wore the uniform. Not once.
Drawing of a woman in a spiffy pink suit reading a wall of negative comments in speech bubbles, with a large caption: Nevertheless, she persisted. What war in reproductive rights? Feminists are annoying You’d be so pretty if you made an effort. Stay-at-home mom? Get a job. Frumpy You’re too old to dress like that. Why are you getting so emotional? Your husband is totally whipped. He picks on you because he likes you. Working mom? You’re neglecting your kids. You just haven’t met the right man. You run like a girl. Over-secretive You’re wearing THAT? That time of the month, eh? Girls can’t do that. Why didn’t you just leave him? You’re going gray. You should dye your hair. You’re formula feeding? That’s not good for the baby. Whoa, take your meds! That’s a man’s job She was asking for it. Your clothing is distracting the boys. Dyke Slut Who’re Frigid Feminist Bossy *Catcall* Calm down. Smile! May I speak to th le man of the house? What are you wearing? You’d be so much prettier if you wore makeup. Women will complain about anything. You’ll want kids someday. You need to lose weight. For your health. So many kids. Keep your legs together. You’re wearing too much makeup. You look like a clown. You’re too skinny. Eat a burger. Aren’t you cute? Your biological clock is ticking. You’re too fat.
Happy (?) International Women’s Day. #KeepFighting
Always good of our media to make clear they think their role is not to interview Democrats, but debate them as if the journalist is a Republican
Good on @chrismurphyct.bsky.social to actually respond in kind!
If we examine the origins of the war on Iran, we get an inkling of a closed domain of international oligarchs, exploiting the state’s power and patriotic sentiment, while creating a world order in which the American state is much weaker. An oligarchical corridor.

Tomorrow marks the 61st anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama. It also marks the 60th anniversary of the Supreme Court first upholding the Voting Rights Act.
We have gotten so, so far away from a Court that cares about democracy.
New from me at @brennancenter.org:
It has so much been his driving force that I keep expecting to see revelations that he was a member of the KKK. Otherwise, his zeal for voter suppression of Black and Brown votes is…inexplicable.
Even Fox realized it couldn’t call Trump’s behavior dignified, so thy totally just subbed out old footage to pretend it didn’t happen!
