Several years from now, a thoughtful scholar will write a book called βTrumpβs Willing Executionersβ about how a nation of 340 million descended into abject depravity.

Headline and subhed of Washington Post op-ed arguing that there should be more representation of evangelical Christians on the Supreme Court and other government institutions.
Iβm currently writing a book about whatβs really wrong with #SCOTUS and how to fix it.
Suffice it to say, this ainβt it:
"bets made among the staff over which detainee would be next to die by suicide." apnews.com/article/suic...
The phrasing of that post indicates that the US and Israel will now start destroying IRGC and Artesh infantry. Since those troops are marbled among civilian communities and Trump administration has denounced "stupid rules of engagement" it's a path to non-combatant mass casualties
23 year old Ruben Ray Martinezβs last words? βIβm sorry sirβ.
ICE shot him 3 times and killed him.
Renee Goodβs last words? βItβs ok Iβm not madβ.
Alex Prettiβs last words? βAre you ok?β
These are the people DHS calls domestic terrorists. Threats. Aggressors.
Abolish ICE
Gulf allies (rightly) claim that the U.S. failed to adequately warn or protect them from eminently predictable waves of Iranian drone attacks.
Hegsethβs new Muscular Manly Murder Drone Strategy sure seems to be spectacularly imploding right now.
@reaDonald Trump Iran, which is being beat to HELL, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors, and promised that it will not shoot at them anymore. This promise was only made because of the relentless U.S. and Israeli attack. They were looking to take over and rule the Middle East. It is the first time that Iran has ever lost, in thousands of years, to surrounding Middle Eastern Countries. They have said, "Thank you President Trump." I have said, "You're welcome!" Iran is no longer the "Bully of the Middle East," they are, instead, "THE LOSER OF THE MIDDLE EAST," and will be for many decades until they surrender or, more likely, completely collapse! Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran's bad behavior, are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP 263 ReTruths 808 Likes 3/7/26, 6:11 AM

Day 2 at the warehouse. My entire body aches and it hurts every time I take a step in these steel toe boots, but I get paid $20 an hour on the weekend we're gonna tough it out.

many such cases
i don't get it. you can lift at the gym. being a softhanded scribe is like the pinnacle of civilized life, tens of thousands of generations of your ancestors would have murdered to be a softhanded scribe
a lot of what has made discourse insane is that there's an entire crop of guys who live in dc, do a ton of uppers, and have massive gender insecurity around the fact that they're soft-handed scribes
OSINT (Bellingcat etc.) analysis of reality on the ground: vital public service, informative
OSINT posting and (para)social media writ large: the exact opposite of a public service in all its forms
real talk: a lot of the mil youtubers and a subset of OSINTers are just the Yankee version of the Russian warbloggers
i disagree with Tanner Greer on a lot, but he's right
omg, check out the FDD guys
Rep. Dan Crenshaw says culture of misinformation fueled his primary loss: "The truth didn't matter" The fourth-term congressman, who lost decisively to state Rep. Steve Toth, said baseless attacks about his alleged insider trading and gun stances fueled the upset. BY GABBY BIRENBAUM MARCH 6, 2026, 4:25 P.M. CENTRAL REPUBLISH SHARE

There probably has not been a greater single obstacle to peacemaking in the last century than the United Nations Security Council, which as constructed manages to both inspire vigilante aggression and be the source of preferential denials of R2P
this meme format will never get old
As one of the fifteen or twenty genuine Liberal Internationalists in the US, all of whom are active on this site, I do think we really need to confront the fact that a genuine liberal-democratic "rules based" international order cannot be underpinned by arbitrary and hegemonic US military might.
My sisterβs troop made enough money to go to France setting up at a series of truck stops.
why has nobody else simply hit the button that removes Iran
We're in a state of hostilities. Neither party has any obligation to not attempt to strike the forces of the other party when given the opportunity.
Look, I think the correct way to view this whole submarine thing is to ask it this way.
Are the Iranians currently under any obligation whatsoever not to sink a troop transport in the Mediterranean carrying U.S. troops right now if they could?
A corollary to this, it would be a legitimate use of force, not terrorism, for Iranian regular forces to strike a US Navy base (including Newport), or the Pentagon.
David Brooks on foreign policy apparently:
Always strange to see people you thought were normal go completely off the rails
Also clearly lying when there are multiple production bottlenecks acting as LIMFACs on manufacturing capacity
It was pretty quiet in the Gulf today as far as I could tell, but Iraq is starting to look like a real clusterfuck. Bombings in Erbil, a major fire in an oil field in Basra, a rocket (?) attack on Baghdad Airport, and whatever the hell we're doing in Mosul.
