Lebanon: Israel Unlawfully Using White Phosphorus The Israeli military unlawfully used artillery-fired white phosphorus munitions over homes on March 3, 2026, in the southern Lebanese town of Yohmor.

Human Rights Watch says they've verified that Israel has used white phosphorus on civilian populations in Lebanon.

Important ruling on immigration operations in Minnesota

Judge Tostrud (Trump appointee):

"Plaintiffs have made a clear showing that Defendants have adopted a POLICY authorizing federal immigration officers to conduct investigatory stops based on ethnicity or race without reasonable suspicion."

Somebody should play along and get Trump to start pulling back hard, then suddenly relax and watch him fall on his pasty ass. That would be some funny shit.

If the Dems who win in the 2026 midterms get squeamish about prosecuting this administration, we'll need to elect a bunch of new people running on Nuremberg shit for 2028. This isn't a joke. It's the law. It's justice. Biden let Trump back in the WH and this happened because Joe didn't do his job

In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing

Q: You said the war is 'very complete.' But your defense secretary says 'this is just the beginning.' So which is it?


TRUMP: You could say both

YES. In the same sentence he said the war was complete, he proposed a policy that would vastly enlarge the war! Media reported the first half, and then later reported a different part to make it seem like a change! But it was incoherent, nonsensical slop all along.

This, too, is sanewashing!

Screenshot of four different jobs from the NY Mag feature about what people make in NYC:
"Home Health Aide
$23,000
I've been a home health aide for ten years. My main patient last year was in Brooklyn. I spent most of my time taking care of her. I worked two days a week, and I was being paid for 13 hours of work each day - my agency, Loyal Home Care, budgets eight hours of sleep and three hours for mealtimes into our wages. But I was basically working 24 hours a day. She was active, and I was worried she would fall, so I would watch her all day and night. This is a pretty common experience for health aides. The agency can deny our overtime, but you can't deny a patient. When they say, "Oh, I need a drink of water; I need to use the bathroom," how could you possibly say "no" to them?
Bronx Day-Care Worker
$31,000
$16,600 from day-care profits
$14,400 from trainings and consulting
Last year, I lost a lot of kids. I live in the Bronx, and a bunch of families in my neighborhood lost their child-care vouchers. We're talking about people who make as much as I do; most of the moms I work with are home health aides. They can't afford full-time child care. If I have 16 kids, I can pay myself for 40 hours of work. But last year, I didn't, and obviously I'm still doing the same amount of work. I've been running the day care out of my home for more than seven years. It's a profession I entered out of necessity and have stayed in out of passion. I pay for everything - food, cleaning supplies, toys - and we have to meet the same requirements as a large company in terms of paying for liability insurance, which can feel pointless in this industry. I mean, if something happens to one of my children, I lose my license. End of story."

2 Teen Mariachi Musicians Released From ICE Detention Representative Joaquin Castro of Texas led a delegation of Democrats to a South Texas detention center to press for the release of the brothers and their family.

Two teenage brothers and mariachi stars who visited the White House last summer were released with their family on Monday from an ICE detention center in South Texas. Rep. Joaquin Castro led a delegation of Democrats to the center to press for the release.

Nobody believes this, including Trump. Because (aside from everything else) if this were true they would have said so as their first "what was the imminent danger" a week ago

FYI, data centers are still one of the most subsidized industries in the US. A non-binding pledge won't change that -- only organizing and policy change will.

Anyway, a hearty fuck you to Dems who keep playing the "our friends across the aisle" game and who keep voting for Republican priorities and nominees. The GOP considers themselves to be in a civil war, the goal of which is to eliminate all opposition to their agenda. Fucking acknowledge it.

I know it gets tiresome saying this, but imagine if Joe Biden or Barack Obama said this about Republicans while they were in office. We'd get banner headlines about Democrats' rejection of pluralism. It'd be a top story for a couple of weeks. bsky.app/profile/atru...

let's see if I've got this straight

the war is over, pretty much

except if we want to bomb iran some more, or israel does

or if iran decides to keep the strait closed

also the regime didn't change and we didn't accomplish anything but blowing up a bunch of kids and poisoning tehran

ok good work

Both, of course, which we knew full well beforehand & didn’t need a wildly illegal war that violates both the US Constitution & the UN Charter.
