As @byjacobward.bsky.social just asserted on @velshi.com: Why’s domestic mass surveillance the low bar?
Why hasn’t the American public been brought into this discussion?
We’ve already learned how DHS abuses their access 2 consumer tech & how opt out privacy settings mean all of our info is THEIRS.

The media’s framing of DOGE as nothing more than a good faith cost cutting effort might’ve been the most maddening thing of the Trump era.
It must be held in contempt then.
Peter Thiel ally Marc Andreessen reposted this message on 2/28/26: “True divide that matters is between ‘Nothing ever happens’ people and ‘You can just do things’ people.” The message was first posted 20 minutes b4 Trump confirmed reports that the US had killed Khamenei in Iran. 1/

“Self-deport” is an offensive turn of phrase.
They moved.
From @electrek.co: “Nashville’s Metro Council voted 20-15 to oppose Boring’s Music City Loop… Tennessee is pushing forward anyway, stripping Nashville of oversight authority… The Boring Company has never proven Loop can match public transit capacity...” electrek.co/2026/03/05/n...
Every major OR GOP gubernatorial candidate except one (Christine Drazan) has now agreed to participate in a debate moderated by the host of an incredibly whackadoodle conspiracy theory AM radio show here in Salem. Not an overstatement to say he makes Candace Owens seem fairly reality-based.
This is madness. I wrote about "peptides" a few years ago, before the trend really hit. People are injecting themselves with black-market liquids purported to contain experimental drugs that were abandoned for failing to show benefits or being unsafe.

"Inextinguishable Fire: A Teach-in Tuesday, March 10th 12:30-1:25 Pigott 100 Come join us to watch Harun Farocki's classic antiwar short Inextinguishable Fire (1969) about the role of Dow Chemical in the production of napalm and discuss what lessons it holds for us today. What responsibilities do we have when American companies manufacture weapons used to kill innocent civilians? How can we act to stop such killings?"
Trying to do my part by holding a teach-in screening of Inextinguishable Fire next week.
New analysis from @mmfa.bsky.social finds that US TV news coverage of climate change dropped 35% from 2024 to 2025.
Editor’s note (March 3): Carla Cunningham lost to Rodney Sadler on March 3, 70 to 22 percent.
Most satisfying editor's note ever
Rev. Dr. Sadler sounds great to me.
No Black Christian ever tried to convert me to their denomination or acted like my own denomination (Episcopal) was bound for hell, so they don't freak me out.

“At the end of the day, she didn’t sound any better than some of these ultra-conservative people who were demeaning Black and Brown folk on a regular basis,” said Rev. Rodney Sadler, a Bible scholar and longtime community activist in Charlotte. “It felt like a betrayal of the utmost.” Cunningham’s comments proved so problematic for Sadler that he said he realized that she was “no longer worthy of being our representative” and he had to run against her. “It drove me to a point of saying, ‘She needs to go, and she needs to go now,’” the 58-year-old pastor, who works at Charlotte’s Union Presbyterian Seminary, told Bolts.
this guy challenged a sitting Democratic lawmaker in yesterday's primary, angered by her pro-ICE vote, and he ousted her 70% to 22%.

Confused about why we went to war in Iran? You're not alone! Fortunately, evangelical influencers are offering "powerful new livestreams" with all the information you need the piece the puzzle together. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/iran-bl...
So that’s a yes.
RASKIN: Is it lawful for federal agents to shoot and kill a person for engaging in peaceful protest?
NOEM: No
RASKIN: Is it lawful for agents to shoot someone just for driving away from them?
NOEM: No
RASKIN: Well, I'm glad you got the law right
I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.
Kamlager-Dove: During you tenure at DHS, have you had sexual relations with Corey Lewandowski?
Noem: I am shocked we are peddling tabloid garbage.
I have just held a call with President Pedro Sánchez to express the EU’s full solidarity with Spain.
The EU will always ensure that the interests of its Member States are fully protected.
Anyone wanna brief him on Colin Powell's "Pottery Barn Rule"?

Dan Goldman's wife, who is also his campaign treasurer, reposted at least half a dozen racist tweets on Twitter which denigrated Palestinians and Jews who sympathize with them. In one post, EndWokeness said "Jews for Palestine" are like "Chickens for KFC".
Goldman says he doesn't share those views.
