It's from Sept 2024. I thinking the point was to showcase how....badly that clip aged.

Of course, Obama helped architect the deal that was working to keep Iran from getting nuclear weapons....that Trump ripped up in his first term.

And says we're all fools for caring about that.

As long as he keeps the egg prices down he'll probably be fine.

We've created a dire humanitarian crisis in a city full of innocent people. This is a war crime. This is a war crime. This is a war crime.

In How Democracies Die, Levitsky & Ziblatt argue that perhaps the most important thing for maintaining democracy is for legitimate politicians to keep anti-democratic actors out of mainstream politics, including *and especially* ones they agree with.

Yeah the Boston Marathon is nothing to mess with. Especially after the bombing. It's a HUGE event and spectator crowd and they hardened "entry" into the streets (bag check etc). The check-line went right thru hubby's office building at the time. In one door (no check) leave out the other...

America sinks an unarmed ship taking part in a international gathering on the other side of the continent, killing dozens

i don't care about any arguments against this. right now the sum total of my political advocacy is: crush the Republicans and make them pay. i don't care what comes after because until we do that nothing better is possible.

We do the same with the baby wheeeeeeel Gloucester boat bro video. If you have not seen, search for it. (Baby wheeeel = baby whale)

At least 13 hospitals and health facilities hit during attacks on Iran, WHO says Global health body investigating reports that four medics are among the 1,230 people killed in Iran since start of war

Given the dryness over there, do they do a lot of catchment? In the Cyclades (quite dry), every roof and even streets in some places are built to catch rain when it does come...

...if so, we'll see this become a very bad crisis immediately. 😞

Kristi Noem Misled Congress About Corey Lewandowski’s Role in DHS Contracts Testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Noem denied that Corey Lewandowski had any role in approving contracts. But internal DHS records and interviews with current and former agency staffer...

Kristi Noem personally approved all DHS contracts over a certain threshold.

But before the contracts reached her, they had to be approved by political appointees. Lewandowski was typically the last to OK a contract before Noem, DHS officials said.

Helluva way for the president to refer to dead soldiers β€” soldiers killed in a war he started.

Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.

Trying to motivate myself, having lost an hour of course, to heaving my carcass down to the boatyard this morning to attempt to get some work done (clean/regrease winches). But it's gray and only 50Β° right now, which means I don't know if it'll be warm enough under the wrap today... Spring. Blegh.

Nothing to see here. Just GOP Senator and arch-hawk Lindsey Graham treating, and speaking to, Donald Trump like a six-year-old child to manipulate him into a war of aggression against Iran that Netanyahu and Graham have long wanted. Beyond parody:

the IRA is an unfortunate example of the failure of the non-bigoted theory of popularism

it was a good law that poured piles of money into infrastructure (in rural areas!) and they got zero credit for it from the people who complain about those sorts of things, because the complaining is the point

Basically, this thread is exactly how I see it too.

I don't know if that means I'm smart enough to agree with you or you're dumb enough to think the same way I do. πŸ˜†πŸ˜†

CNN’s Frederik Pleitgen says black, oil-contaminated rain is falling over Tehran after strikes on oil facilities by U.S./Israeli airstrikes.

March 8, 2026 - Tehran at sunrise today. But the sun is hidden behind a sky filled with smoke. After a night of intensive strikes on oil facilities, thick black clouds now hang over the city, turning morning into something that feels like night.

It’s already happening. Iran attacked a desalination plant in Bahrain.

This war has to end immediately. If it turns into a water war we will be dealing with a whole different level of a humanitarian catastrophe across the region.
