We're in uncharted territory- if WTI crude holds these gains tomorrow- the current rise of 29.9% or $27.16/bbl would be its largest single day price jump- in both percent and amount- ever. Ever. EVER.
A total hardliner. Whose father, mother, wife, and son we just killed.

Relevantly, @elizabethlane.bsky.social and I have a JOP coming out on this very topic, where we examine 34 years of citation data to address attorney targeting of justices. TLDR: yes, they do it and yes, it works.

Why, it’s almost like it might be in Iran’s direct interest to inflict damage so bad
and globally destructive, in such a critical area of the world, that America could not dream of ever attacking it again
I can’t do this anymore
Reminds me of when Edward Said criticized how intellectuals often speak in professional language meant to “exclude and mystify“ when asked what they actually meant, like saying “target acquisition” when they meant “bombing”
Does this mean we get to ignore the Supreme Court too when we implement Woke 2 Reconstruction?
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.
In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.
Poster-brain but make it associated with the worst things and people ever at the highest levels of power in the United States
An original Nashville sit-in member, along with Diane Nash, James Bevel, and John Lewis. Trained in non-violence by James Lawson. At age 21, he signed a will before the Freedom Rides, knowing he could die.
May his soul be at peace, and may we all have such courage in the face of oppression.
God dayyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaamn
MASSIE: “Iran is not Venezuela. The Ayatollah was not a president. He was a religious leader… 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 turned him into a martyr, expended billions, 6 🇺🇸 families must now lay to rest their sons & daughters. And for what? This administration can't even give us a straight answer.”
That leads me to say that I really do see the tide turning against Trump. It won’t be neatly linear, it will be history making painful, but I don’t see his reign as lasting that much longer, his power is waning.
I’m a news junkie and while I wouldn’t wish that kind of stress on anyone, it does at least give me what I’d like to believe a little more insight into what’s really happening, which is nice.
Jeeeeeeeeeesus not good
Fahreed Zakaria would say their presidency ended that day lol
I wrote about the House hearing today, how Congress is trying to strip anonymity from the Internet, and the devastating effects that has for journalists, whistleblowers, LGBTQ ppl, immigrants, civil rights activists, abortion providers and anyone challenging power for @theintercept.com
One big thing that James Talarico's primary win shows is that the Texas Latino vote, particularly in rural areas, is really its own constituency. In this discussion, Dem operative @sawyerhackett.bsky.social offers a helpful and illuminating explainer on this group:

In 1966 the New Jersey Young Republicans gleefully sang racist and antisemitic songs at their gatherings. The lyrics to one went “Riding the Reich in my Mercedes Benz, shooting every kike, saving all my friends." Hartford Courant, 13 February 1966.
It’s also just a ripoff of Bloom’s Taxonomy
How to win in November
AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do
Older Republicans are tolerant of Nazism while young Republicans are enthusiastic Nazis.
I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.
anti-trans Dems ate shit last night
Lawless authoritarianism:
-"How Trump Keeps Withholding Money After Being Sued 198 Times"
-"Officials Violated More Than 50 Court Orders in NJ"
-"ICE violated at least 96 court orders in January"
-"The judge then provided an additional count of 113 more court orders violated in 77 more cases"
CrashCourse but make it the news
