A healthy society doesn't put combination codes on its restrooms. Why? Because a healthy society doesn't have thousands of people desperately roaming its streets, whether unemployed, homeless, mentally ill, or addicted to drugs. 1/

Congratulations to Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Michigan Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate! Even though he was outspent 9 to 1, he still prevailed.

I guessed it and I was right. The correlation is nearly 100%. Anybody who attacks left/dsa Democrats has a high probability of being a genocide denier.

You see, this is effective Democratic messaging, unlike the leftists up north who spend 24/7 attacking Democrats instead of Trump's policies.

The correlation is nearly 100%. Almost every single critic of NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani is a passive or active denier of the Gaza genocide.

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth want $67 BILLION to continue their illegal war in Iran. Imagine if we spent that money on health care or helped Americans buy their first home?

Nobody is talking about this: House Republicans are attaching the SAVE Act to the NDAA, the National Defense Authorization Act. The House could vote on the NDAA TODAY. 1/

Despite years of linguistic change, I am heartened to report that after witnessing two 20-something congressional interns or staff greet each other on the DC metro subway platform, "Waddup dude" remains a standard male greeting in American English.

"the U.S. effectively deprived Iran's World Cup team of time to sleep and eat, even on a match day. Iran was never offered fair play or an equal chance." #WorldCup #FIFA Faezeh Firuzeh writes in the @quincyinst.bsky.social's Responsible Statecraft: responsiblestatecraft.org/iran-world-cup/

Senate Republicans have failed in their effort to move forward on Trump's $1.15 trillion #NDAA defense bill - the National Defense Authorization Act.

Imagine how much good you could do with a social media network designed to encourage the best in humanity. But Meta has other ideas. They want to put gambling in the social media feeds of young people. @alexjn.bsky.social writes in @motherjones.com: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Meta appears to openly desire a world in which the company profits off addiction by blurring the lines between gambling and daily online conversation.

Mark Zuckerberg sure sounds eager to get young people hooked on online gambling

The Meta CEO is developing a social network betting market app—and wants help from Polymarket and Kalshi.

The world's first trillionaire helped put Trump back in office. Then he killed at least 750,000 people by gutting USAID. Democrats can break Elon Musk's power by forcing Congress to cut off SpaceX's taxpayer-funded contracts. Read my 2025 @theintercept.com piece: theintercept.com/2025/02/17/e...

Insanity, by the numbers: $8.8 billion: Current funding for US Environmental Protection Agency $40 billion: Total extra spent on gas by people in the U.S. due to Iran War gas prices. $1.5 trillion: Total Trump wants for U.S. war budget.

U.S. intel also indicates that Iran retains about 75% of its pre-war inventories of mobile launchers & about 70% of its pre-war stockpiles of missiles, per a U.S. official. The regime has also been able to recover underground storage facilities & repair damaged missiles
