βSocial murderβ is a term created by Friedrich Engels to describe the premature death of marginalized people due to political, social, or economic oppression.
What is happening right now in America is the premeditated, calculated, & planned extermination of children who are trans. This is genocide.
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
NEWS: Democrat Shawn Harris has forced a runoff in the special election for Marjorie Taylor Greeneβs deep-red Georgia seat (Trump +37).
With ~70% in, Harris leads with 38.3% to Trump-endorsed Republican Clay Fullerβs 34.5%.
Runoff set for April 7. A major warning sign for MAGA.
Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-MT) installed rooftop solar panels on his home, despite once criticizing green energy as βgoofy, subsidized green energy crap.β His response: βItβs my personal home, so itβs not really any of your businessβ
His hypocrisy is everyone's businesses..
When gas prices go up, those costs get distributed to all the suppliers, truckers, flights, and more throughout our economy.
Youβre not just paying more at the pumpβ¦ soon, these skyrocketing gas prices will make everything you buy more expensive.
The conflict in Iran is incredibly expensive and totally optional β but we canβt look away from Trumpβs domestic failures either.
We need to release all the Epstein Files. We need to get health care for all Americans.
So when are Republican lawmakers going to admit this president is endangering not just the U.S. but the entire globe and stop him before he does even more damage?
Itβs nearly impossible to lose Grenell, but Ogles pulled it off.
Someone catfished that Jake Lang white supremacist guy pretending to be a 15 year old girl and he took the bait in the worst possible way.
I think this story is a really good example for people to look at when it comes to understanding bias at NYT. It's not that the reporter, Dana Rubinstein, says anything outright false. But the framing, word choices, etc., add up to an unprofessional and biased account.

Ah, so it IS World War III
worth reading the thread, wherein we learn that capcom are totally willing to include AI protections in the contract... but hey buddy, what if they need to break that contract someday? we cant have the union suing us!!
And that it IS a war.
And that it IS a war.
My motherβs been posting AI generated Facebook slop almost daily, but today she posted an AI generated article about how inspiring JK Rowlingβs life story is.
I know I canβt change the person she is, so I must remain grateful that I am not that person.
Senate Dems have offered legislation to fund TSA, FEMA, and cyber defense agencies, but Republicans have blocked our efforts. If they truly cared about Americans' safety and convenience, they'd stop playing politics with security services, fund most DHS components, and work with us on ICE reforms.
"Don't Forget Gaza and the Palestinians"
"Israel is using the illegal war on Iran to continue to kill and starve Gaza, steal more Palestinian land, and restrict movement in the West Bank, writes Diana Buttu for Zeteo. "Don't look away."
On the one-year anniversary of his detention by federal authorities, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and First Lady Rama Duwaji welcomed Mahmoud Khalil, his wife Noor, and their baby boy, Deen, to Gracie Mansion to break the fast together.
Breaking NYT:
Two teenage brothers and mariachi stars who visited the White House last summer were just released with their family from ICE detention centers in South Texas β immediately following the visit of a delegation of Democratic lawmakers who pressed for them to be freed.
goddamn is this a breath of fresh air after Allred 2024
The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.
A senseless, criminal waste
They have no problem spending a billion dollars a day on war, but fight for every penny when it comes to caring for Veterans.
So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.
That's $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
Thousands of lives lost.
People don't 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.
All of Trump's actions are meant to tear away the foundation of our democracy. All of them. Nothing is a distraction, it is all destructive.
So uh, we just bombed Iran to have them place the son in power, drive up oil prices along with all prices, mass civilian casualties and destruction, and have billions of American taxpayer dollars spent.
And now sights are set on Cuba.
For what?
To throw the country into chaos and delay elections.
Good on you, Dan Green
