Donald’s war of choice, from bad to worse. www.marytrump.org/p/thats-the-...

[TW: graphic fracture, sound of breaking bone] Sen Tim Sheehy (R-Montana) badly breaking the arm of a Marine veteran protesting the war Iran.

NEW: “From Iran to Palestine, stop the U.S. war machine,” chanted hundreds in Minneapolis on Feb. 28 during an emergency anti-war protest against the US & Israeli war on Iran. Hours earlier, at least 165 people — mostly schoolgirls — were killed when bombs struck an Iranian elementary school.

You cannot make billions dollars with hurting, exploiting, and crushing other people on the way there. If there's an ethical way to do it, we haven't seen it manifest yet. That level of personal wealth should viewed with fear, not admiration.

America & Israel strike Iran to prevent missiles. Iran fires missiles because it was struck. Starmer uses those missiles to justify using British bases to strike Iran. It's all painfully circular. Strip away the noise & it's an illegal war of aggression.

A federal judge on Friday extended his order protecting refugees in Minnesota who are lawfully in the U.S. from being arrested and deported.

Arrest them.

it's really surreally funny that the socialist mayor of New York City seems to be Donald Trump's current favorite person

1000 whistles. We'll send you some too. toot.supply

After the arrests of powerful men across the world, you might be asking why the US has so much trouble holding its leaders accountable for lawbreaking. Since Nixon, all three branches of government have worked hard to ensure they can break the law with impunity www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

BREAKING: Vice President JD Vance says the Trump administration is pausing some Medicaid funding to Minnesota because of fraud concerns.

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school. They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

The media should cover this as murder because it is.

Great thread. Jilly Kay is very much on the cutting edge of this stuff and TTD owes a lot to her scholarship!

I have spent the past several months studying the cutting-edge research on modern democracies that have defeated authoritarian leaders. I've learned that the conventional wisdom on the topic is wrong — in ways that have clear implications for the US going forward THREAD www.vox.com/politics/479...

An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump. n.pr/4qTItsU

@brianlyman.bsky.social: all the death penalty “does is satisfy the bloodlust of a handful of rigid-minded politicians, whose desires seem to take priority over facts, survivors’ feelings and demonstrated incompetence.” 1/

A former ICE instructor is expected to testify that new agents are trained to run roughshod over constitutional rights, including the right against a home invasion, and that the federal agency is “broken."

More than 1.5-million (out of 2-million total) Gazans are living in tents, drowning in sewage and freezing winter rain. This compares to Seattle with 800,000 people (12,000 unhoused) in the roughly the same area.

This allows the Trump administration to literally condition citizenship on what it defines as acceptable speech

This is why it's not useful to simply argue points with these fascists. Point out how utterly wrong and malicious they are, but DO NOT treat them like their ideas are worth arguing over. Ridicule and derision are all they deserve and all they should get, the fact checking is for those watching.

this kid was spirited away to a "short-term residency program" owned by Bethany Christian Services, an evangelical adoption agency connected to Betsy DeVos

This is what needs to happen to every single one of these freaks. Trap them in their homes, make them afraid to ever appear in public lest they be ridiculed and mocked constantly. Make them viscerally aware of how much they are hated.

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

NEW: ‘I’m a U.S. Citizen and I was arrested by ICE,’ A Statement from a Legal Observer in Minneapolis Upwards of 206 U.S. citizens have been hauled off the streets by masked federal agents over the past 3 months in Minnesota, one of them shared their story. unicornriot.ninja/2026/im-a-u-...

You’ll be seeing a lot about this memo today. I published it first (and got the story right) b/c I’ve been covering this case in depth at Law Dork — even filing a motion last week to intervene and improve public access. I knew this was an important case; my work shows it. Subscribe: www.lawdork.com

fourth book of the year finished. if you’re looking for something to read right now, i highly recommend this book. an extraordinary gritty utopian novel about what is possible in the midst of imperial opposition. thank you, @margaret.bsky.social

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

The horror stories rolling in from Minnesota are just the tip of the iceberg. This 20-year-old, who's lawfully present in the country, was arrested for being Latino, then jailed in a filthy cell where he couldn't even sit down. 18 days of illegal detention. democracyforward.org/wp-content/u...

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

I can....and that makes me want to go scream into the void. I enjoy learning about why people believe in conspiracy theories so I've been exposed to a LOT of it. The QAA pod has an extensive library that delves into this ad nauseum. www.qanonanonymous.com

Rep. Randy Fine (Z-Florida) learned all the wrong lessons from the Holocaust.

Preach!

Pay attention to who the greedy billionaires want and then support the opposite person.

Why do MAGA apparatchiks think they are historians when they're so bad at it? Musk is late to the defend-the-culture brain boil. We're multiple panics along by now. Germans in Pennsylvania! Irish in, uh, everywhere! Papists! Italians! Jews! Turns out an open society draws those who want to belong.

I just heard someone say on TV that use of the term "concentration camps" to describe ICE facilities was "very strong language." I think ICE's concentration camps are very strong abuses of human rights.
