Stavros Halkias: I don't wanna do the both sides bullshit because it's not true. One side is worse than the other, objectively speaking. One side is disappearing people and one side wants children to have healthcare. A lot of stand up comics happened to have some of the dumbest opinions on Earth

@bsmrocks.bsky.social why did Variations on Swing and MMISL disappear from Spotify?

@majorityreport.bsky.social I'm doing my part!

They're not going to stop with trans. They've realized that they can get away with just about anything if they claim to be protecting "the children." If they roll back gay marriage, they won't stop there either. There is no fucking accommodating these people, they must be defeated & marginalized.

sorry I seem distracted just have to keep checking my phone to see if one of my freedoms is being arbitrarily taken away

Why shouldn't Virginia Governor @abigailspanberger.com announce something like "the Supreme Court just ruled that state governments can redistrict, multiple Republican-controlled states already are, and the people of Virginia indicated they want us to, so that's what we're going to do," then do it?

Great piece from @robinks.com on an underrated epidemic in modern America: understaffing. From nursing homes to retail, railroads to air traffic control, nobody hires enough people for the job anymore. prospect.org/2026/03/19/u...

I know I've said this a trillion times but I have to say it periodically to keep from going insane: The right ran a huge, well-funded, & ultimately successful campaign to completely take over political media & the infosphere more generally. This is by far the most important political development...

Woke 2 will establish the department of takes

Nebraska election officials have: (1) tossed from the ballot the sole Dem candidate for sheriff in Omaha, and (2) tossed from the ballot a Dem candidate for U.S. Senate (who was saying her opponent was as GOP plant). nebraskaexaminer.com/2026/03/13/d... nebraskaexaminer.com/2026/03/17/e...

How much more evidence is actually needed to support the idea that having billions of dollars causes severe brain damage

Haitian woman, 31, dies alone at Pittsburgh bus stop days after ICE released her to the streets far from home to perish. Rest in power, Daphy Michel: migrantinsider.com/p/the-loneso...

HOLY SHIT. A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election. Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

Utah authorities arrested a man because he had dried pinto beans. They thought it was drugs. By the time they realized it was beans, they dropped charges, but it was too late: ICE had found and detained him.

i feel like if i was tasked with not starting a war and bringing back US manufacturing jobs, i could have done a better job than this

I heard the audio. He said it. Lord. What have y'all done.

Still crazy that the president’s lawyer spent two days with Ghislaine Maxwell, she “cleared” him of wrongdoing and was almost immediately transferred to a more pleasant prison and nobody in the administration will explain it and the media acts like two large dots are just impossible to connect.

The Discourse has become sort of numb to the fact that the richest guy on earth and owner of a major social media platform just routinely spits out the kind of nakedly white supremacist shit that until a decade ago you rarely saw outside of places like Stormfront.

One crazy dynamic that's developing is that Trump's need to demand "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER" probably provides an opening for the more bloodthirsty advisers to manipulate him by telling him more involvement is necessary to achieve the decisive victory he has blundered into promising

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

Imagine how many other Martinezes — and Prettis and Goods — there have been in the past year who we don’t even know about And that’s not even counting what we don’t know about the camps and elsewhere. Christ

Pokopia is hittin'

i'm on top of @shortcircuitij.bsky.social right as it comes out this weeks and oh boy, just look at this shit

As someone who routinely mocks permabullish clickbait oil forecasts, I want to be exceptionally clear: Crude WILL go to $200/bbl, en route higher, unless traffic through the Strait resumes. Not clickbait, but rather brutal physics and necessary economic incentives.

liberated... from economic growth

Reuters Exclusive "U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school." "The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the ​Middle East."

“Asked whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump acknowledges the possibility. ‘I guess,’ he says.”

Here’s Hegseth buddy Benny Johnson saying earlier this week that we need mass denaturalization and deportations of those with “ideologies that are incompatible with Western civilization.” They want to start with Muslims. Very unclear they’ll stop there. www.mediamatters.org/us-iran-rela...

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran. No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles. Worth a watch. (🎥 BBC News/BBC Verify)

Important from Punchbowl News: "Republicans would prefer to keep their hands clean on the conflict for as long as possible, especially given the uncertainty over how long this could last and how it’ll play politically." As I've been arguing, Rs don't want to be saddled with this (see below)

I was on a flight tonight, so I missed the extraordinary decision by Senator Daines to quit his reelection race minutes before the deadline to pave the way for his chosen successor without triggering a competitive GOP primary. montanafreepress.org/2026/03/04/r...

Pete Hegseth's crazed rants at reporters reveal that Trump's rationales for attacking Iran are incoherent, confused, and based on lies. Dems don't have to take refuge in criticizing Trump's war on purely procedural grounds. They can go much harder. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2072...

A woman’s ex boyfriend, who is a cop, threatens to shoot her Women are at the highest risk for being killed when they try to leave a relationship. She calls 911 for help & the Police Chief WARNS the boyfriend instead. Boyfriend opened fire on her car We aren’t angry enough.

We started a war with no clear goal, no exit strategy, no legitimate casus belli, no domestic legal authorization, no allies, and seemingly no real plan at all — and now, having done all that and unable to take it back, we're starting to worry if things could spin out of control.

It cannot be stressed enough how these Republicans don’t see government jobs as jobs at all. They see them as titles, no-show gigs where they can do whatever they want. That’s why they hated the people in those jobs before, they thought it was a scam because they don’t believe in doing the work.

There is absolutely no reason for Sam Altman to say anything but he is currently digging the biggest hole possible, responding to all and sundry on Twitter. This is the worst possible statement he could have given!

i’m at the anti-ICE protest i’m at the anti-war with iran protest i’m at the combination anti-ICE anti-war with iran protest

manufacturing consent through lowly paid influencers

No votes on ANYTHING untill we vote on the War Powers Resolution.

this is what they said it would be like under socialism

Paramount should enjoy its growing news monopoly while they have it because when Democrats win back power we are going to break up these anti-democratic information conglomerates. All of them.
