Brian Allen @allenanalysis As US troops deploy to the Middle East. As gas prices spike. As 92,000 jobs vanish in a single month. As scores of children die in elementary schools As acid rain falls over Tehran. As Switzerland breaks 200 years of neutrality to call it a war crime. As Iran announces a new Supreme Leader. As the Epstein files stay buried. Donald Trump is playing golf. At his own resort. With his billionaire friends, This is the man who said he'd lower your cost of living on day one.

maegenmcauliffeoleary As a millennial, I spent most of my twenties wiping my ass with toilet paper I stole from public restrooms. I've accumulated and lost three separate retirement investments. I've spent years without health insurance. I'm drowning in student loan and credit card debt. I've witnessed "unprecedented, once-in-a-lifetime" events so often that I'm permanently disassociated. Believe me when I say I am so fucking capable of surviving the collapse of capitalism. I will dance naked in the ashes.

WTF did he mean? I bet he doesn't even know himself. I yearn for the day that we have POTUS with an IQ and empathy. OH, wait we could have had one but the people that voted, voted for this POS instead of having a black female in office instead. FAFO applies here. Those that didn't vote, FU

very complete

You habba hard time finding someone else with “the cahoots” to be this brazenly stupid on tv.

I’m hollering at my screen… yaaas!

Actress Sheryl Underwood, an Air Force Reserve veteran, is asking the questions we all want answers to.

“Why is this not impeachable? And where are the politicians that say, ‘this dude don’t have it all the way together, he cannot be the commander in chief?’” 🔥

Ali Alizadeh @ali7adeh The U.S. spent 20 years and trillions of dollars replacing the Taliban with the Taliban. Trump replaced Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei in just 9 days. The most efficient U.S. president ever.

BABY 5 @bigsnugga the iran war breaking the world economy in a week is the primary reason why trying to do imperialism like its the 1800s is fucking stupid. we live in a global economy with global markets, everyone is tied to each other in some way. you cannot hurt others without hurting yourself

George Monbiot @georgemonbiot.bsky.social Donald Trump is a global chaos generator. He couldn't give a damn about the Iranians and will walk away the moment things get difficult, leaving a trail of pointless death and destruction It's all about spectacle for him. Once that's achieved, job done.

emmak67 I'm always fascinated how people like Farage and Badenoch who are slathering to get into the Iran war can't join the dots between illegal Western intervention and the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people. Guess what Nigel? Those people have to go somewhere. They're called asylum seekers.

Starmer’s position is entirely consistent with what he wrote about Iraq in 2003, a fact of enormous inconvenience to just about everybody currently criticising it. Happily for them, just like the entire bloody Chilcot Inquiry it is apparently very easy to ignore.

What a thread.

When Israel targeted Gaza’s water supply, people rightly called it out as a war crime, denying civilians the most basic supplies.

It is absolutely insane that the US appears to have targeted desalination plants first – putting them onto the board. Iran seems to have already retaliated against one in Bahrain. This is one of the most obvious ways this could spiral.

toycargeek65 The only winner tonight is the Voyager probe, which is speeding away from Earth at 38,000 mph.

Peter Shearer @shearernorthern It's a good time to consider that world leaders could have concentrated all their time and efforts on making our world a better place for us all. But they chose to enrich a few people and a few corporations and turned our world into a living hell for many. We have to change it.

Pedro Sánchez, Spanish PM.

"The question is not if we are on the side of the ayatollahs - nobody is. The question is whether we are in favour of peace and international legality...You cannot answer one illegality with another, because that is how the great catastrophes of humanity begin."

Two rather scattered rows of upright or leaning thin stone slabs, clearly forming parallel barriers along a grassy hilltop.

The March image from my personal 2026 photo calendar. This shows part of what remains visible of the Neolithic tor enclosure on Roughtor, a 400m high hill in Cornwall, SW England. Dates to 4000-3500 BCE. These upright stones are about waist-high.

existennialmemes The Ides of March approaches and it's making me very sentimental for the concept of large scale organizing to address a shared problem.

What?

diane.dennett Poor old sulky Donald Trump Has fallen out with Starmer He misses Winston Churchill We wish he was Obama

If I was @zackpolanski.bsky.social, I would be pointing out to the BBC that whatever model they use to justify giving Farage & his boot-lickers season tickets for every BBC show under the sun must surely now treat Green Party politicians in exactly the same way. Might even be one for the lawyers...

kathyl_sd How to know it's a 'war of choice': • He waited until the Olympics were over • He waited until Friday night after the stock market closed • His Tuesday night state of union speech was universally panned • His poll numbers are in the tank • Epstein files Wag the Dog

Dave @GamewithDave They removed CD/DVD drives from devices. They made physical media harder to buy and use. They removed expandable storage from phones. They pushed us into streaming subscriptions. They made always-online normal. They made unlimited internet necessary. Then slowly raised the price of everything. Ownership quietly became renting.

Unfortunately, this isn’t satire, it’s reality.

Sick of gettin raped and beat up by these Weird freaks.

Is anyone else as confused by this Pentagon statement as I am? We were told that the Israelis and [we] Americans had achieved air superiority over Iran, but *now* we are being told that the Kuwaitis shot down 3 F-15s over Kuwait that were...dogfighting with the Iranian Air Force?

Jan Venegoor of Citylink @GaelicRoadSign Sorry to rich Brits in Dubai, but we are full and our public services are at breaking point. Or so many of you told us.
