Well, well, well

If you took $1 billion and gave it to the endowment of a different small college each day, they could each provide a free college education to several hundred students per year in perpetuity. Instead we are using that money to bomb schools and kill students in Iran, for no clearly stated purpose.

Street Roots doing excellent reporting, as usual. More evidence that the mayor's unwavering focus on single night shelter mats gets in the way of real housing.

They killed 180 children and their teachers in a double-tap strike on a school. The girls were 7 to 12 years old.

‘We’re in it’: Democrats won’t rule out giving Trump more money for Middle East war Democrats will have to balance a desire to criticize Trump’s offensive in Iran with pressure to support funding to defend the nation now at war.

We already went through this shit in Iraq. You don’t fund the GOPs dumb as fuck wars. Period. This isn’t hard. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

“Almost all the 165 people killed in the attack were girls aged between seven and 12, according to local officials. There were around 170 girls at the school in southern Iran’s Minab at the time.“

A double-tap strike on little girls at school.

Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.

Spain's leader with a message that should be adopted by every top Democrat

it just keeps getting worse and worse

Graves.

165 graves.

Each for a little girl killed by the Israeli-American strike that targeted a school on the first day of the Iran War.

Minnesota would like a word.

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

As Trump Bombs Iran, We Need to Reckon With the American War Machine We cannot afford to slip into despair. We must push back against militarism everywhere, at every turn.

"We in the U.S. need to reckon with the fact that so much of our state wealth, capacity, and technology goes toward burying children in rubble." Important piece by @neginowl.bsky.social

A reminder that fascist Mussolini invaded Abyssinia partly to divert from domestic economic troubles at home.

🚨 BREAKING: ISRAEL LAUNCHES 3 AIRSTRIKES ON IRAN Iran’s state-affiliated Fars News Agency reports three explosions in downtown Tehran. Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz says Israel has launched a “preemptive attack” on Iran, according to The Times of Israel. Iran has repeatedly said diplomacy is the answer and has not threatened an attack on Israel.

🚨 ISRAEL LAUNCHES 3 AIRSTRIKES ON IRAN

Iran’s state-affiliated Fars News Agency reports 3 explosions in downtown Tehran.

Israel’s Def. Min. Israel Katz says Israel has launched a “preemptive attack” on Iran, according to The Times of Israel.

Iran has repeatedly said diplomacy is the answer and...

This should be a front-page scandal.

"The movement’s central premise is that we can’t build and that we have created too many veto points that let parochial interests block important construction projects. But the data-center boom clearly shows that we can build. Or at least that mega corporations can when they put their minds to it."

it took an expensive, coordinated effort & a lot of people saying “this doesn’t matter” to get from a bathroom ban costing one state $400 million & a gubernatorial race to “trans people must turn in their documents which become invalid in a few hours or face fines & potential jail time” in 10 years.

"All seven potential strikes, if employers continue to refuse to avert them, would occur in either March or April, in what would be one of the largest education union "strikewaves" in U.S. history if it occurs."

Ancient stepwells brought back to life as India begins to run out of water

Donald Trump killed two of my constituents. He is a liar and should be ashamed of himself.

Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek is trying to expand the state’s already massive tax breaks for data centers.

Data center companies are already saving nearly $500,000,000 in local property taxes this year in Oregon.

Now the Governor wants to double key tax breaks from 5 years to 10.

We need universal programs and services because, in addition to being accessible to all, they come with a ready made base of people (everyone who benefits from them) to defend them.

Means testing services is a failed model advanced by corporate Democrats like Tina Kotek who want us divided.

Here's a short thread about some political and intellectual icons and their work at, and appreciation for libraries.

“Drawdown“

Never tell me it’s a resource issue— it’s always about distribution

This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades.

It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.

Portland's homeless residents prepare for the first potential snow of the year This week's cold weather isn't expected to trigger Multnomah County's criteria to open warming shelters. Regardless, it'll be a challenge for those living outdoors.

Multnomah County has no plans to open warming shelters. Clackamas County opened an overnight warming center Monday night. In Longview, a severe weather shelter opens Monday through Wednesday, and Clark County is opening both overnight and daytime warming centers.
