Wrote with @swin24.bsky.social about how the White House is posting fascist memes about GTA and Call of Duty to make themselves laugh about their war as it threatens to blow up the global economy zeteo.com/p/trump-iran...
That Iranian Navy ship we torpedoed had no ammunition on board because that was a requirement to participate in the MILAN 2026 exercise (organized by the Indian Navy).
The US Navy knew this because IT ALSO PARTICIPATED IN THE EXERCISE. What a national embarrassment.

So perfectly qualified for this admin.
Americans are dead. Prices are skyrocketing. The Middle East is on fire. Civil war is brewing in Iran.
And for what? A war that will leave the same hardliners in charge? A war that can't actually destroy their nuclear program?
This is incompetence. Plain and simple.
An analysis by NPR strongly suggests that the Pentagon used seriously outdated maps to plan the bombing, hitting both the school and a nearby medical center in a raid that appears to have been intended to hit a nearby IRGC base.

Trump ripped up the Iran nuclear deal and created this mess. Now, he's putting servicemembers in harm's way with no clear plan and no Congressional approval. The American people deserve answers — and Congress needs to do its job.
things every single republican president of your lifetime has done
- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy
JUST A REMINDER THAT WHEN HE SAID THIS, HE FUCKING LIED!!!
The Commander in Chief lied to America, enabled by elected Republicans.
This will not remove EPSTEIN or the possible rape of a 13 year old girl from the news.
If you’re an American service member who gets killed in a retaliatory strike, your family can take comfort in the fact that it was done in service of making the host of Celebrity Apprentice feel like a big man for a minute, before he moved on to something else and forgets about this forever
Pro Trump, Pro Netanyahu fanatics Larry and David Ellison will most likely now control Paramount, CBS, CNN, HBO, Warner Bros, and TikTok
What could go wrong?!
The only real question of the evening is: will legacy news orgs call Trump out for this insanely corrosive stuff or will they get in front of camera & pretend that this deeply unwell, deteriorating man talking about how Dems are the enemy of the country is just run of the mill political discourse
Well, the DOJ has done it: they have filed a lawsuit against the University of California over antisemitism.
The complaint contains some falsehoods. But as someone who teaches and writes about Title VII, I'm equally struck by what the complaint doesn't say.
A few thoughts— 🧵
"The woman who directly named Trump in her abuse allegation claimed that around 1983, when she was around 13 yrs old, Epstein introduced her to Trump who subsequently forced her head down to his exposed penis which she subsequently bit. In response, Trump punched her in the head and kicked her out."
The violence in Mexico is fueled by U.S. guns and money. Killing a cartel boss won’t change that.
Live Nation paid ZERO federal income tax last year largely due to Trump's tax cuts, despite reporting $145M in profits.
It's also on the verge of scoring a sweetheart deal from Trump's DOJ to end a major antitrust investigation.
Trump works on behalf of the most powerful corporations.
Not you.
RFK Jr explains why he’s a fraud.
On Feb. 20, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Three male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear
More lawless slaughter at sea by the Trump administration under the specious guise of counterterrorism.
Fake counterterrorism. Make believe armed conflict. Real killing.
It is shocking how quickly one of the biggest benefits of U.S. higher education, the ability to recruit the best students from around the world, is eroding.
"You get out your 'Fascism for Dummies' book for the 15 things you do, and we tried to include as many of them as we could in the most artful way possible. How were we supposed to know that this clown car in Washington was going to basically use the same book that we used?"

Key issue to bear in mind as you watch today's political response to the Supreme Court tariff decision: The Court didn't say that the US can't issue tariffs, simply that the President has to convince (the Republican-controlled) Congress first. If tariffs are great, that should be easy to do.
The supreme court has issued a sharp rebuke against the Trump administration and ruled against the legality of the president’s sweeping global tariffs.
Follow along with our live coverage:
Bolsonaro in prison, Yeon sentenced to prison, Andrew arrested on his birthday...and America still holding on to a 34 count felon as President.
It is notable that Andrew has been arrested for "misconduct in public office", which is precisely what the US Supreme Court decided no American president can ever be charged with.
Authoritarians, strongmen and dictators: who is on Trump’s Board of Peace?
In this entire piece there is not a hint of even a semblance of a legal argument for how a war of this scale would be legal or authorized.
There is quite simply no legal or constitutional authority for Trump to launch a war of choice against Iran.
None. Zero. Nothing.
MAHA “accomplishments” as we approach the SOTU:
-Saunas back!
-Acid rain, back!
-Smog year round: back!
-Measles, back!
-24million + with no healthcare, back!
-Promising new cancer treatments? Gone!
-The best and brightest next gen science talent? Gone!
Let the spin begin!
A dozen is good but too few. If you are an elected Democrat in congress, there are 2 ways to engage with the SOTU with integrity:
1) Don't go.
2) Go and get kicked out, Al Green style.
Everything else is wimpy.
The regime is now dictating what political views are acceptable to air on television and paramount/cbs are collaborating in that censorship bsky.app/profile/ditz...
