Psaki: "While Kristi Noem certainly deserved to lose her job, the man Trump has tapped to replace her hardly seems, in my view, up to a wartime appointment. In fact, he seems pretty confused about whether or not this is a war."
Black-and-white formal portrait of Alva Myrdal (1902–1986), the Swedish diplomat, sociologist, politician, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate. She is photographed against a dark background, resting her chin thoughtfully on her left hand, which displays a large, ornate ring. Her expression is calm, wise, and slightly introspective, with deep-set eyes, fine lines of age, and a gentle smile. Her silver-gray hair is styled in a soft, voluminous updo typical of the mid-20th century, and she wears a dark tailored jacket or dress with a simple collar, along with a distinctive metal wristwatch on her left arm. Alva Myrdal was a pioneering figure in social policy, women's rights, and international disarmament. With her husband Gunnar Myrdal, she co-authored the influential 1934 book Kris i befolkningsfrågan (Crisis in the Population Question), which shaped Sweden's progressive family and welfare policies. She served as Sweden's Minister for Disarmament and Church Affairs (1966–1973), headed UNESCO's social science department, and played a key role in the United Nations. In 1982, she shared the Nobel Peace Prize with Alfonso García Robles for her lifelong work on nuclear disarmament and peace advocacy through organizations like the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) and Pugwash Conferences. Known for her intellectual rigor, feminist principles, and commitment to global justice, she remains an icon of principled leadership in diplomacy and social reform.#AlvaMyrdal #NobelPeacePrize #Disarmament #SIPRI

It's International Day for #Disarmament and Non-Proliferation Awareness.
Inspectors General must be independent & nonpartisan. Reports say DOL IG Anthony D’Esposito plans to run for Congress. I asked if he’s running or doing campaign activity while serving as IG. He refused to answer. That is concerning given reports he put his mistress and fiancee’s daughter on payroll.
⚡️US joins Russia, China in opposing IAEA resolution condemning attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
The U.S. voted against a resolution condemning attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure during a meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors on March 5.
I simply cannot
Markwayne hiding in the gallery on January 6th. Meet the new head of DHS. Do you feel safe yet?
Here are a MULTITUDE of reasons he’s not respected by voters & should NOT be confirmed for a Cabinet position.

Ukraine to help US and allies counter Iranian drones Ukraine will help the US and its allies counter Iran’s Shahed drones, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said, after the US requested assistance. Russia has sent tens of thousands of Shaheds into Ukraine since it invaded its neighbour just over four years ago, at one point launching a swarm of more than 800 drones and decoys in its biggest night-time barrage. Iran has responded to joint US-Israeli strikes by launching the same type of drones at countries in the Middle East. In a post to social media, Zelenskyy said he had received a US request for support to defend against the drones in the Middle East and had given the order for equipment to be provided along with Ukrainian experts, without providing further details. Ukraine helps partners who help our security and the protection of our people’s lives. Ukraine has pioneered the development of cut-price drone-killing equipment that cost as little as $1,000, rewriting the air defence rulebook and making other countries take notice.
Trump and Kegseth were so prepared for this war that they forgot to plan for defending against Iranian drones. Now they are begging Ukraine for help.
What the hell kind of answer is that🤔 So, who is going to protect American citizens on American soil? The director of homeland security just got fired and the replacement is worse. The FBI isn’t going to do shit. And ICE has its quotas to meet😡😡
To celebrate Kristi Noem’s firing today, here is a Minnesota crowd favorite:
"Hey Kristi Noem"

My father, unfortunately a Republican thought the minimum wage is $20/hr!!! Not. Even Close. When I told him $7.25, he didn’t believe me because, his words, “no one can live on that.”
Ask your GOP acquaintances if THEY know what the minimum wage is!
So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
Democrats have broadly lauded her ousting while calling for systemic changes at DHS.
Ask people you know if they know what the federal minimum wage is. I did. They thought it was $20/hr!!!
Not. Even. Close.
$7.25!!!
The person then said, “That can’t be true because no one could live on that!”
Betcha can’t guess who they voted for!
The numbers are staggering:
Rent is now unaffordable for a record *half* of U.S. renters.
Some 30 million jobs pay less than $15 an hour. The average wage needed to afford a one-bedroom apartment has climbed to $28.17 — nearly four times the federal minimum wage, which hasn't gone up in 16 years.
Except him, because he dodged the draft. He talked shit about McCain, but was too much of a privileged baby to fight. He doesn’t care if Americans might lose their lives in war because he knows it won’t be him or any of the other cowards in his family who haven’t/won’t serve.
The fuck kind of answer is this
Impeachment, conviction, and removal only work when Congress has a spine.
Thankfully many understood this was likely to happen and copies were taken.
Any Epstein Files pulled from the DoJ website still resides here in original release form from January 30th:
jmail.world/drive
"A CBS News analysis found that as of late February, the Justice Department has taken down more than 47,000 files comprising about 65,500 pages. Links to those files now return a "page not found" error on the department’s website."
The Trump DOJ has been taking down Epstein files.
The massive tranche of files the Justice Department currently maintains is more than 65,000 pages shorter than what the agency initially released, according to a CBS analysis — and the number continues to fluctuate.
My song about Trump and Hegseth from earlier this winter, on all streaming platforms.
BREAKING: Former President Barack Obama has endorsed YES on Virginia’s April 21 referendum, calling it a “responsible, temporary step” to protect fair representation as several Republican-led states redraw congressional maps mid-decade to gain an advantage. Early voting begins March 6.
We should never underestimate the power and importance of history lessons! There is a reason why the likes of Trump and Musk want to erase specific historical events from the books, or alter their context.
Great post, Nicky! 👊🏼
TRUMP DEMANDS UPRISING IN IRAN — HISTORY SAYS THIS ENDS BADLY (ft. Tim Snyder) Raging Moderates @jessicatarlov.bsky.social
What does history tell us about where Trump’s war in Iran could be headed?
Does bombing a country weaken authoritarian regimes or harden them?
