This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

"No stupid rules of engagement." — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, March 2, 2026
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East." — Reuters, March 5, 2026
Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.
Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.
Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social
Screenshot of headline reading: Renee Good's partner addresses Minneapolis immigration crackdown one month after killing Becca Good has seldom spoken out since Renee Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Jan. 7.
“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last. You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know—their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”
I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal
Protesters chanting "We're not cold, we're not afraid, Minne[apolis/sota] taught us to be brave" in Boston tonight outside Government Center station.
I wrote the speech I *wish* Chuck Schumer would give tonight - as an actual opposition leader. Here it is:
"My fellow Americans: At this hour, an unrestrained force of militarized and violent federal officers is carrying out a project of ethnic cleansing in the streets of American cities."

Alex Pretti - who DHS labeled a domestic terrorist - honoring a veteran that passed away in the ICU.
Didn’t believe this was true but have checked and am told it was sent to the Norwegian government yesterday.
I am dreading the inevitable co-opting of MLK Jr’s words and legacy by the very people who support the terrorizing of immigrants and the cities that harbor them.
How much more in your face can it be?
"Why are you asking me for my paperwork?"
"Because of your accent."
"You have an accent too."
"Where were you born sir?"
"Where were you born at?"
"Put your hands behind your back."

Yes! Definitely a varsity one
So many right! (Including obscure ones like Barre). Some big ones wrong IMO (Amherst, Quincy), some Im definitely not sure about/have heard pronounced differently (Colraine, Mattapoisett)
Exactly. There are lots of signs of senility but I actually don’t think this is one? Just a sign of rich person with no filter
Obviously ew but also a reminder that the man has probably never bought milk at the store or prepared his own meals.
I need other Massachusetts nerds to be as excited as I am to assess/debate the ones they got right and the ones they got wrong: www.boston.com/culture/cele...
Showing 3000 immigration officers to 2482 officers from the ten largest metro forces
The Star Tribune had an insane graphic about the presence of immigration enforcement in Minneapolis. There are more immigration officers in the metro right now than local police officers.
Ed stands smiling and giving thumbs up with SEIU members.
I’m grateful to earn the endorsement of SEIU Locals 1199, 32BJ, CIR/SEIU, 888, and 509 and I will keep fighting to make sure working people have real power, real job security, and a voice that can’t be ignored in Washington.
Demand Massachusetts lawmakers pass urgent reforms to rein in ICE.
Our lawmakers have a responsibility to do everything in their power to rein in ICE. The abuses won't stop without our collective action. Silence is complicity.
Demand that Massachusetts lawmakers take a stand and pass urgent reforms to rein in ICE.

what you clearly see, CLEARLY, is a driver who is spooked by the agents grabbing her door, takes steps to drive away, and is immediately shot as moves her vehicle *away* from the agents.
30 Rock "What a week" meme: "What a year, huh?" "Lemon, it's January 3rd."
Zohran Mamdani doesn’t make me, an American Jew, feel unsafe.
Having the Coast Guard, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, decide that a swastika isn’t really a symbol of hate? That makes me, an American Jew, feel pretty damn unsafe.
Saying this was considered so beyond-the-pale overtly racist it made Enoch Powell a pariah in the woke cancel culture of 1960s Britain.
This is the genius of the Portland protests - they make the claims of lawlessness look not just wrong, but comical
I will not vote for any budget that does not protect health care for the people of Massachusetts and our country. www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/...
