All the polls on the U.S. war in Iran so far
www.gelliottmorris.com/p/polls-us-i...
If you ignore people who say they “don’t know” how they feel about the war, disapproval of Trump’s actions is already at 56%. That is higher than the resistance to Vietnam in 1971.
My school district is being forced to lay off several educators and a librarian because of a $500,000 budget gap, or roughly the amount spent on the war while I was typing this post.
the guy conducting a war does a daily presser about how he doesn't follow any rules and how he loves war crimes and then a school ends up bombed, hard to say how it happened
He doesn’t care about you. He never has.
Haha
🚨 My first solo preprint is out!
I study Grok's fact-checking on X and show:
📌 Professional fact-checkers are a major source of Grok.
📌 Grok becomes more accurate as more articles from fact-checkers become available.

"No stupid rules of engagement." — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, March 2, 2026
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East." — Reuters, March 5, 2026
Great encapsulation of the MAGA obsession with bathroom usage, children's genitals, describing their sexual exploits, grotesque plastic surgery, and pornographic descriptions of violence. It's truly breathtaking the way they've cornered the market on deranged perversion.
I’m trying to imagine what would happen if a Democratic senator literally broke a military veteran’s forearm, which appears to be what happens here.
Without Trump’s trade wars since 2017, US exports to China would have been nearly 60 percent higher in 2025, or roughly $90 billion annually.

ICE under Trump 2.0 built an unprecedented media operation - deploying videographers to raids, pumping out edgy social posts, swiping pop music for hype videos - and the main metric for evaluating its impact shows that Americans now hate ICE more than ever
www.washingtonpost.com/technology/i...
There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.
Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.
When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.
And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.
So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:
- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.
Ban Polymarket.
It’s immoral and will corrupt our foreign policy decisions and likely has already.
The Trump administration has been slammed for leaving thousands of Americans stranded in the Middle East with no U.S. government assistance after the president’s war on Iran.
While the McDonald’s CEO gets roasted for his awkward burger taste test...
McDonald’s is among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
And McDonald's CEO recently raked in $18.2M — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
That should leave a bad taste in your mouth.
The Plain Dealer, Cleveland’s largest newspaper, has begun to feature a new byline. On some recent articles, a reporter’s name is paired with the words “Advance Local Express Desk.”
It means: This article was drafted by artificial intelligence.
Seems like a thing more people should be mad about
I made this monster of a chart to show the partisan split of the early/abs vote in the TX primary by age/race/gender.
You can see why Republicans must be worried about what they're seeing in the turnout data.
I like to distract myself from the terrifying political news by reading the ridiculous political news.
NEW. This is an elementary girls school in the city of Hormozgan in Iran.
In the last hour, it was hit by a US/Israeli missile attack.
So far, 24 young girls are confirmed dead [SOURCE: Al Jazeera].
The US has just committed a war crime.

Weird how thousands of virulently pro-MAGA accounts wake up at exactly 8:00 AM Israeli time.
So let’s think about this.
A private company refused - on principle - to yield to the government’s demands.
The government then cancelled its contracts with the company and has set about destroying it
We obtained the Dilley detention center’s 911 call logs.
Among them are pleas for help for toddlers having trouble breathing, a pregnant woman who passed out and an elementary-school-aged girl having seizures.
This is deeply illegal, breaking the Medicaid statute and the ICA.
States are entitled to funding from federal govt to help pay for Medicaid. Providing less than the statute calls for is open and shut illegal, more akin to the impoundments Nixon lost unilaterally before SCOTUS than anything so far.
So some jerk called the police, who just beat up a disabled Rohingya refugee instead of trying to communicate with him and then charged *him*. He probably thought he was getting jumped since he couldn’t see or understand the cops.
He survived a genocide and ending up getting murdered by CBP.
These are bloodthirsty men and women.
Everything for them – 737 jets with beds and wet bars to fly to the Olympics in Milan – and for the rest of us, the lash.
People will be crawling in the streets if they can't get prosthetic legs. Choking without their oxygen. Capisce?
They found him. He died.
Another murder by our immigration goon squads
I cannot think of a funnier or more appropriate summary of the state of the news industry in 2026 than “the Onion has more subscribers than the Washington Post”
please help make it happen
