Trump starts the illegal war on Iran with a flagrant war crime.
Attacks on schools and other civilian sites violate international humanitarian law - 1949 Geneva Conventions & 1977 Optional Protocols.
Trump and all who participated must be investigated and prosecuted.
This is where I'd rather be - if you've ever wanted a grand adventure that will also put you in touch with nature and culture in a unique and respectful way, check it out --
I don't marvel that Trump the dictator created a bribery machine "board of peace" and then promptly bombed Iran.
I marvel that the media and politicians have continually normalized and enabled his behavior to get us to this sorry state of affairs.
Heartbroken that Iranians are being murdered on the orders of a US dictator keen to distract from his own heinous crimes.
Hello Congress, surely his failure to get authorization is the final straw?
Big Oil's top lobbying group, the American Petroleum Institute, has reported talking to members of Congress about draft legislation to stop state climate lawsuits.
What a coincidence that Rep. Harriet Hageman happens to be drafting legislation to do exactly that. 🙄
This thread is now dedicated to organizing aid for trans refugees

NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES
DAY 25 FEBRUARY 2026
THESE HORRENDOUS TIMES
ICYMI
Outrage last night at SOTU when @repilhan.bsky.social guest AMERICAN DISABLED CITIZEN, Aliyah Rahman was ARRESTED for simply standing up ..No Outburst
No Sign She stood silent
Remember she was assaulted by ICE
Outrage !
Sign the petition to convince the European Commission to change their mind on My Voice, My Choice. Unofficial info says the draft response has a negative attitude. Decision Feb 26. Still time to change their mind. Sign & share. app.sosha.ai/s/2Lgiaa2t
This is immoral.
Trump officials gutted USAID and cut off food aid to refugees. Clinics closed. Warnings poured in and were ignored. Rations collapsed. Children starved to death.
👉🏾Agency staffers even celebrated the cuts with a sheet cake while lifesaving programs were being shut down.👈🏾
Think of how bad things must be for a Supreme Court Justice to feel he has to explain why it's a good idea to have laws enacted by legislators instead of decreed by wannabe dictators
White cat with big yawn against red sweater background. Cute.

BONDI PROTECTS THE WORST CRIMINALS. The message couldn't be clearer: loyalty to Trump matters more exponentially more than justice.
The political effects of X's feed algorithm https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-026-10098-2 Received: 16 December 2024 Accepted: 4 January 2026 Published online: 18 February 2026 Open access • Check for updates Germain Gauthier,5, Roland Hodler?5, Philine Widmer35 & Ekaterina Zhuravskaya3,4,5 m Feed algorithms are widely suspected to influence political attitudes. However, previous evidence from switching off the algorithm on Meta platforms found no political effects'. Here we present results from a 2023 field experiment on Elon Musk's platform X shedding light on this puzzle. We assigned active US-based users randomly to either an algorithmic or a chronological feed for 7 weeks, measuring political attitudes and online behaviour. Switching from a chronological to an algorithmic feed increased engagement and shifted political opinion towards more conservative positions, particularly regarding policy priorities, perceptions of criminal investigations into Donald Trump and views on the war in Ukraine. In contrast, switching from the algorithmic to the chronological feed had no comparable effects. Neither switching the algorithm on nor switching it off significantly affected affective polarization or self-reported partisanship. To investigate the mechanism, we analysed users' feed content and behaviour. We found that the algorithm promotes conservative content and demotes posts by traditional media. Exposure to algorithmic content leads users to follow conservative political activist accounts, which they continue to follow even after switching off the algorithm, helping explain the asymmetry in effects. These results suggest that initial exposure to X's algorithm has persistent effects on users' current political attitudes and account-following behaviour, even in the absence of a detectable effect on partisanship.
A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right.
Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement.
This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.
It's cartoonishly evil / predictable: the Brits turn up the heat and initiate actual investigations of their top-shelf perpetrators, so Trump gears up to bomb Iran with lethal weapons of mass distraction.
We must stop every single proposed concentration camp. www.kjzz.org/the-show/202...
These two women are suing Andrew Tate, alleging he raped them. Here they visit the social media companies that created Tate. Please share.

Wow.
(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: “THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.
Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading.
Now we’ve got mumps rolling up.
Expect more.
This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.
Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social
Happy Mardi Gras season. My kid thinks this bagel depicts a purple-headed naked mole rat doing Kung fu.
Keep resisting and laissez le bon temps rouler!
The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/L9X3k1fQ
Bondi's "accountability":
✅ Aggressively targets Trump critics for investigation
❌ Refused FBI investigations x Renee Good & Alex Pretti
❌ Dropped sexual abuse lawsuits against migrant child shelters
So egregious that 6 prosecutors resigned in protest
--> political weaponization.
#NotAboveTheLaw
Congresswoman @ramirez.house.gov: " Congress designed DHS [Department of Homeland Security] to violate our rights under the pretense of securing our safety."
" DHS cannot be reformed. It must be dismantled, and something new must take its place"
🚨Military members - Under SAVE 2.0, your military ID wouldn't be enough to register to vote.
Service members born overseas could be blocked. They're attacking those who defend our democracy.
PROTECT the right to vote for our troops.
#StopTheSaveAct social.demcast.com/s/Ju28p5Xk
Building a vast network of concentration camps with money that should go to healthcare and education. We are funding and building a system of literal atrocities, some sick f***s are going to get mega-rich off of it, and our soul as a society will be dead. Resist y'all!
This Epstein sh*t is taking a huge collective toll on our psyche, more so for trauma survivors.
Find support & nourishment, through professionals or friend circles to talk through the slime field in a healthy-ish way.
Try to be gentle w/ yourself & others; this isn’t normal, not just “the news”!
AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.
