I often remind myself that I found both my life partner and our cat on the internet - they’re my proof the internet isn’t all bad!

NEWS: The Trump administration just gave Vladimir Putin another break. Treasury issued a license letting countries buy Russian oil already loaded onto ships before March 12, allowing those sanctioned shipments to still reach buyers, handing the Kremlin a financial lifeline.

This talks about how to correct errors and ask for name changes that were done by court order. That’s very different than what you were talking about.

WARREN: Has Rubio made any request for transcom to help evacuate Americans out of Middle East?


REED: State made a request on Feb 28 & we have provided some assistance

W: When we called them yesterday, they said they haven't asked you for assistance. Can you explain that?

R: I cannot explain that

I mean, I could have told you that and I’ve never studied air power in history.

A librarian will be able to “immediately give [you] a bunch” without making half of it up.

it doesn’t have your new name. I’d delete your post so you don’t spread misinformation.

Did you read this? It’s about how to get a copy of your birth certificate after you’ve changed your name, but it’s very clear that your birth certificate is a record of who you were AT BIRTH. Even if you get a copy after you’ve changed your name, it’s a copy of the one you were issued at birth,

Agreed. We need to write new laws so the CEOs are held personally responsible for the decisions they make.

I swear every dystopian tech development is like "Hey, are you OK with being this much not-a-person in our eyes? How about this much? One or two? <clicking noises> OK, how about now—one or two?" like I'm at the devil's optometry office.

Yes I’d like to see them be held to some accountability as in having their business destroyed by lawsuits.

Do I Have the Right to Film ICE? Despite government attacks against protesters and the press, documenting interactions with law enforcement and federal agents is protected by the First Amendment. Here’s what you need to know.

Yes.

ICE agents don't get to carve out a First Amendment exception for themselves.

Yes, it is fake. Kyle Griffin’s handle is NOT @rosariopas.

Anyone have a gift link?

We’re going to be living with Trump’s war for years to come.

🚨 Feds warned local police about potential Iranian retaliation on the West Coast.

Officials now say the drone reports may not be credible. That would be reassuring… if this administration hadn’t burned through public trust like gasoline.

Another word you might use for it is "looting".

"This appears to be the first administration to take such widespread advantage of taxpayer-funded military housing to accommodate political appointees who do not have a direct connection to the military..."

In case you're wondering how slow justice moves: after the Trump administration investigated my podcast and removed me from my job at the VA in 2019, I filed a complaint.

We still don't have a trial date set. We're waiting on a summary judgment ruling after a hearing last August.

You really need to learn the difference between antisemitism and anti-Zionism. If Israel doesn’t want to be called out for the genocide they’re perpetrating, they’re welcome to stop killing innocent people any fucking time now.

My dog took a shit that’s 10x the candidate Platner is. Why don’t you endorse that instead?

Yeah, the Nazi & paid mercenary is definitely that. What tf are you on?

You know words have meanings, right? He’s a Nazi, not an antiracist. He’s a Blackwater mercenary bc the Marines wouldn’t let him reenlist with his Nazi tattoo. That’s not getting away from militarism. I’m not sure if you’re serious or rage baiting for engagement, but either way, you suck.

The optics of a racial justice organization run by white people endorsing the dude who had a Nazi tatto are...not great.

The guy worked for Blackwater after his military career and posted a list of wars he wished he had fought in, all while having a Nazi tattoo on his chest. What are we doing here.

That’s just on the home front. Meanwhile:

ADL condemns Zohran Mamdani for hosting Mahmoud Khalil at mayor’s mansion ‘Gracie Mansion belongs to all New Yorkers. Public office must never be used to legitimize hate,’ an ADL spokesperson said

fuck the ADL

Then you thought wrong.

Gas tax holidays often fail to provide significant, sustained relief to consumers, acting more as a temporary, inefficient "gimmick" that can increase inflation and drain funding for critical infrastructure. Economists argue that savings are often not fully passed on to consumers by retailers, and they can paradoxically boost demand, potentially causing prices to rise further. NPR +5 Key Reasons Gas Tax Holidays Are Considered Ineffective: • Limited Savings for Drivers: Savings are small compared to overall price volatility; a 2022 Penn Wharton Budget Model study estimated a federal holiday would only save a typical motorist about $16-$47 over several months. • Retailer/Oil Company Pocketing: Studies show that a significant portion - sometimes up to 30% - of the tax savings is pocketed by the oil industry rather than passed to consumers.

Blumenthal needs to read Sun Tzu about never interrupting your opponent when he’s making a mistake.

I don’t think it would help consumers at all. I think it would help oil companies and Trump. Further evidence Dems are complicit.

DNC sues Trump administration for any plans to deploy federal agents at polling sites The Democratic National Committee (DNC) sued the Trump administration on Tuesday, alleging that several agencies failed to adequately respond to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests…

The DNC is suing the Trump administration for refusing to answer a simple question, “are you planning to put armed agents or military at polling places?” They submitted 11 FOIA requests and have gotten zero answers.
