Hell yes, Democratic candidate Any Thomson just won the Mayoral race in Boca Raton, Florida and flipped it from red to blue for the first time in over 30 years.
He won by just one vote. Every vote counts which is why fascists are trying to take away voting rights.
An infographic titled "president Trump is reshaping the media", reposted from his truth social account.
Donald Trump is now just openly bragging about interfering in the media. He's the president. He's running a truck over the first amendment here.

As I told @velshi.com recently, the administration is turning us into a "show your papers" country. I carry around a copy of my passport these days. But millions of Americans don't have ready access to their papers. The SAVE Act would block them from voting.

Yemen’s Houthis have announced they’ll be joining the war in support of Iran shortly. Analysts expect them to shut down another strait, Bab El-Mandeb, which will close the Suez Canal. The global economy hangs by a thread.
Don't. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.
Jared Kushner holds no government position at all. He is not a Senate-confirmed political appointee & his "special peace envoy" job is completely fake. This is wildly illegal & unconstitutional nepotistic corruption. Stop normalizing it in the papers.

This is literally the Trump Admin playbook.
The case of Hungary shows how autocrats can rig elections legally, using legislative majorities to change the law and neutralize the opposition at every turn, no matter what strategy they adopt.
One by one, hospitals are abandoning trans kids as they preemptively cave to HHS threats over Medicaid/Medicare funding.
They ought to consider the terrible message walking away from some kids sends about their dedication to caring for all of them. My latest @opinion.bloomberg.com (🎁 link):
NEW: US Treasury issued a general license for the delivery and sale of Russian oil loaded on vessels as of March 12.
Moscow continues to be the single largest beneficiary of the Iran War.
NEW: They Didn’t Want to Have C-Sections. A Judge Would Decide How They Gave Birth.
Two Florida women had to attend virtual court hearings while in labor to argue for their right to choose their own medical care.

She was in jail until her attorney proved she was far away from the crime using her bank records. This is the kind of shit they’re supposed to check before they go arrest people. She lost her home, car, and dog. They left her stranded after she was released. AI/LLM regulation is long overdue.
This move against state bars is of a piece with the administration’s broader strategy against universities, the media and law firms — any organization capable of challenging the president’s power. And few things threaten it more than holding it to the the truth. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/o...
At the beginning of the pandemic some disabled people felt hope.
We saw inclusion and accessibility improve overnight.
We saw accommodations put in place that we had spent years begging for.
We saw the world adapt.
That hope was ripped away during the rush back to normal.
It still hurts.
#LongCOVIDAwarenessDay
Learning to wear a #respie when out and about seems like a big ask… but once you get in the habit, you hardly think about it at all.
Prevention is still the best option. You’ll not miss your energy, tastebuds, ability to concentrate etc… until it is gone.
The #Leonardi_Effect are strong.
Up your nose and away it goes.
It would seem the depletion of NK Cells contributes to Long Cövid 🙏🏻

McGowan: You're saying 46 Americans died, so we should attack this country. Here at home, 68,000 Americans die a year because they don't have health insurance. So, if we're going to spend billions of dollars on something…
President Donald Trump has blamed the recent attacks on the “genetics” of the suspects. “They’re sick people, and a lot of them were let in here. They shouldn’t have been let in. Others are just bad. They go bad. Something wrong. There’s something wrong there. The genetics are not exactly— they’re not exactly your genetic," Trump said in an interview with Brian Kilmeade that aired Friday on Fox Radio.
Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., who had already faced backlash for an anti-Muslim post last month, wrote on X Thursday: “We need more Islamophobia, not less. Fear of Islam is rational.” Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., said in a series of posts on Thursday that no country is “freer and safer because Muslims moved there,” and he called “immigration” a “national security threat.” Earlier this week, he wrote that “Muslims don’t belong in American society.” Also on Thursday, Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, called for “No more Muslims immigrating to America." And Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., shared a post featuring a side-by-side photo of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who is Muslim.
Google News search for the story, showing coverage from NBC and a bunch of smaller outlets
Is NBC really the only major news outlet covering this overtly anti-Muslim (and eugenicist) rhetoric from Trump and his Congressional cronies?

Local Georgia woman charged with murder after taking abortion pills and giving birth in hospital By Madison Foglio, Action News Jax March 12, 2026 at 9:54 pm EDT non-shortened link https://www.actionnewsjax.com/news/local/georgia-woman-charged-with-murder-after-taking-abortion-pills-giving-birth-hospital/6GA7IHO7YNBCLC24BXHHBAV6XI/
Horrific. Georgia police charged a woman with murder after she allegedly used misoprostol. Hospital may have reported her.
@pregnancyjust.bsky.social calls it “an unprecedented murder charge for an alleged abortion, even though no law in the state of Georgia permits such a charge." bit.ly/46W2Ezb
It’s Long Covid Awareness Day (which I think should be the Ides of March, for reasons that will become clear.)
Some of you have heard this before. But I wanted to share my Long Covid story, because I think you should hear it.
On my birthday in November 2022, I woke up with Covid.

This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.
MAHA pretends to be a populist wellness movement taking on bad corporate actors profiteering off of sickness.
But it’s always been a front for big corporate interests.
