It was a US strike that killed 165 schoolgirls. Mostly aged 7-12.

While it was likely unintentional, the decision to strike a military target in a densely populated civilian area was not.

Yes, difficult decisions have to be made in war.

I don’t trust this bloodthirsty regime to make good ones.

It took Trump 10 days to create an energy crisis reminiscent of the 1970s, replace Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei, and weaken our alliances worldwide. He put American servicemembers in harm’s way, resulting in seven deaths. None of this made you safer or better off.

Republicans are scared. With the Strait of Hormuz closed, oil prices have soared to over $100 per barrel (from under $70 per barrel 10 days ago.) There’s been a huge spike in gas prices. The WSJ called it “the most severe energy crisis since the 1970s and threatening to derail the global economy.”

The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February.

A record number of Americans are withdrawing from their 401ks to cover expenses.

Americans owe $18.5 trillion in debt — an historic high.

Meanwhile, the wealth of America's 935 billionaires soared by $1.5 trillion in 2025.

“Golden Age” for whom?

Fuzzy memories can be her trying to block it out of her mind or she could have been drugged.

Walk into a sandwich shop. It’s regulated for health and safety.

But AI, which will transform the world economically and socially, is completely unregulated. That’s insane.

We need to make certain that AI works for ALL humanity, not just the billionaires who own it.

Sunday thought: We will prevail Finding courage in a dark time

It’s been a hard week. If you’re feeling angry, you’re not alone. I see it in your comments. I’m struck by how you are fighting back against this tyranny, nonetheless.

You are giving me hope.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Trump is losing the American people.

No amount of mainstream or social media gymnastics will get them behind this war, especially as they see more soldiers in caskets and their costs of living spike out of control.

I only listened to this for a few seconds. What was that all about?

I’m so tired of bad people getting away with doing bad things.

I am also so tired of it. Why is doing bad things ever good for all of mankind? Never.

Jesse Jackson never stopped fighting for America, in times of darkness he turned to hope and embodied the light.

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

Exclusive: Russia is providing Iran with targeting information to attack American forces in the Middle East, the first indication that another major U.S. adversary is participating — even indirectly — in the war.

Trump's "Golden Age of America."

"Wow. A big drop" -- CNBC highlights that labor force participation is now the lowest it has been since in late 2021, before the covid vaccine was widely available

Wow did something happen in the US in January 2025?

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

Russia is helping Iran attack America, and Ukraine is helping America defend itself from Russia and Iran.

It is time to renew our support for Ukraine and Europe, and stop Trump's ongoing appeasement of Putin. Congress must now revive the Russia sanctions bill, get serious here.

I think he believes he should be the ruler of the world. Thing is he is in the twilight years of his life and you will never see a U-haul being towed behind a hearse.

Of course, Kristi Noem deserved to be fired. But rather than spend energy celebrating this Trump setback, let's recognize that the disaster of today’s DHS runs much deeper than the (former) Secretary's incompetence - and keep stepping up the political pressure.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
