the US & israel kicked this off unprovoked by attacking a school full of kids, i'm not sure why the fuck i'm supposed to see a headline about their murder infrastructure being destroyed and think "oh no, what a bad development"

Why Can't Top Democrats Just Say "No War With Iran"? The response to what could be the biggest geopolitical disaster of the 21st century is foot-dragging, silence, and sleepy, feigned opposition long after the deed is done.

I am grateful for the Democrats calling for Platner to drop out today. 

Those still backing him should be embarrassed and ashamed.

A coordinated campaign to urge a guy who is up by 20 or 30 points to drop out of a primary because he went on a popular vet podcast.

There is no manager to complain to anymore. Don't know who these complaints are directed to.

From the multitude of explosions and division of the missiles, the latest barrage launched from Iran tonight might include cluster munitions.

That is a war crime. They’re banned under international law.

Neither Israel nor Iran are signatories to the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions. As such their use in conflict between the two isn't governed by the treaty and the use of cluster munitions does not constitute a war crime.

I’m sorry they are banned under what?

I really hope this war destroys both parties. At least there’d be an upside then.

The GOP became cartoonishly overt fascists who are polling a thousand points underwater on everything and the Democratic Party have responded by becoming 2003-era Neocons whose only disagreements with the GOP are procedural quibbles.

I’ve stopped watching cable news completely because it’s rancid brain rot propaganda but turning it on to see how they’re talking about this crisis was absolutely wild. No context, no curiosity, just unparalleled garbage.

Israel just started a war against Iran using American taxes dollars we could’ve been using to start another war with.

So Israel is launching a "preventive" strike on Iran and also announcing a state of emergency, because they expect Iran to respond to their "preventive" strike by launching missiles. So like... what's being prevented here?

Stunning and historic result in the Gordon and Denton parliamentary by-election in the UK.

The anti-genocide Green Party led by Zack Polanski has won the seat from Keir Starmer's governing Labour Party.

Nigel Farage's Reform UK and its odious candidate Matt Goodwin beaten.

Opinion | The Human Cost of Trump’s War on Science

This piece by @jeneeninterlandi.bsky.social is one for the ages. The damage Donald Trump (under the guidance of Russell Vought) has done to biomedical research is profound and will be long-lasting. It is a national tragedy to be measured in the sick and the dead. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/23/o...

I’m so glad team USA promptly embarrassed everyone who cheered for them by partying with Kash Patel and gleefully taking a phone call from the pedophile dictator in chief, complete with misogynist jokes. That’s your country and that’s your team America, the rest of the world is disgusted.

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time

Israeli Settlers THROW EGGS at a US Political Candidate
Israeli Settlers THROW EGGS at a US Political Candidate YouTube video by Zeteo

NEW: Congressional candidate Effie Phillips-Staley just did what most don’t. She visited Palestine to learn more.

There, Israeli settlers harassed her, a priest, and Jewish activists.

Now, some local Democratic members are going after *her.*

One top bundler is even quietly demanding she drop out:

I am never going to get over the fact thar so many Americans died that corpses stacked up in nursing homes and hospital morgues, that refrigerator trucks had to be brought in for the overflow, and that the big takeaway from Important Pundits is there should have been *less* mitigation.

NJ lawmakers introduce the FUCK ICE Act.

It’s annoying that Obama bailed out banks while millions were foreclosed on, which created backlash conditions for Trump’s ascent β€” and Obama now only does interviews with worshipful influencers guaranteed to never ask him even one uncomfortable question about this.

While researching a story, I found this from a month after Obama took office promising to help homeowners get the same bankruptcy/principal-reduction protections landlords & owners of vacation mansions already get.

Turning hope & change into more of the same paved the way for Trump.
