It’s honestly hard to get accurate info on this war at all. Some of the OSINT accounts are doing a great job trying, but information is being locked down everywhere.

Even the MDA account in Israel is being censored now. We went from constant updates to radio silence.

It’s elevated for sure, and the administration is keeping it quiet on purpose.

Someone asked me if I was concerned about the No Kings protests coming up.

I would be lying if I didn’t say yes, but I also think that it’s vitally important that we still show up.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...

"How will you pay for it?"

The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...

"How much do you need?"

It doesn't have to be this way.

Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

An excerpt from Jesse Jackson’s powerful speech to the Democratic National Convention on July 19, 1988.

May he rest in peace.

Our troops are dying this isn’t a video game. The White House is posting so-called “hype” videos that mix real footage from the war in Iran with clips from movies and video games like Call of Duty. It’s an absolute disgrace.

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.

Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

Iranian-American Rep. @yassaminansari.bsky.social opposes Trump’s “illegal” war: “My family & friends have been brutalized and murdered by the Islamic Republic… but Trump has shown freedom for the people of Iran is not his priority. I will be voting YES on the war powers resolution.”

US moving pregnant immigrant girls to Texas to avoid providing abortions, critics say Ex-official calls transfer of unaccompanied girls as young as 13, many pregnant due to rape, a human rights violation

“It’s a choice to ensure zero abortions."
Since July, more than a dozen pregnant children have been moved to a single facility in the small town of San Benito, along the south Texas border. The children kept in Texas are as young as 13, and about half are pregnant because of rape.

Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, that’s when you absolutely need to vote.

Ready to make this the biggest midterm turnout in history?

Either Altman is lying in this story, or the Anthropic ban was completely pointless.

Why ‘Playing It Safe’ In Your Career Doesn’t Pay with VC Bill Gurley Podcast Episode · On with Kara Swisher · February 26 · 1h 3m

Of course, I’m so very biased because I’m a superfan of @karaswisher.bsky.social, but this episode was beyond fantastic. Super meaningful and insight-triggering questions (and answers). So worth it, and love all the positivities we can get.

Thank you Kara💕

Congress and the courts are refusing to give Trump what he wants, so he’s concocting a new plan to seize control of the election. Here’s what you need to know: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

I’ve always admired secretary Clinton for her ability to see right through pretense—and in this case, just pure bullshit.

The Other Red Hat (You'll like this one better)

February 26 is an important date in the history of resistance, and it has to do with knitters during WWII. Come read the story. If you’re a knitter, maybe you’ll want to cast on with me tomorrow? And if you aren’t, there are other ideas for you here. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Bonta: I’m worried about the fact that California is a universal vote-by-mail state—many states are—and the U.S. Postal Service is an entity of the federal government. Could ballots be seized while on their way before they’re counted?
