It is an understatement to say this isn't reported near enough. Every news item about Iran should begin by noting this.
D. Earl Stephens@dearlstephens.bsky.social · 2mo ago📌REPEATING: If Trump hadn't unilaterally withdrawn from the Iran nuclear agreement crafted by Obama it would NOT have a stockpile of highly enriched uranium today. Iran was IN FULL COMPLIANCE with the agreement. This mess was created ENTIRELY by Trump. This isn’t reported near enough.
Reparations just aren’t feasible unless you’re a felon...
📌Trump's GOP would rather incinerate a healthcare program that insures millions of Americans with no viable alternative in place, than to continue anything with Obama’s name on it ... or enter an unwinnable war just to wreck the peace he brokered in our planet’s most volatile region. Deplorable.
DEPLORABLE
Republicans are no longer trying to hide their poisonous racism, and white people need to speak up to put it down -- NOW

The Intellectualist@theintellectualist.bsky.social · 3mo agoIn the first eleven months of 2025, 10,109 doctoral-trained scientists left the federal government.

Trump is about to hit REM on camera during an Oval Office event. It's just incredible.
Perfect analogy of Trump opening the Strait of Hormuz. 🤣
Pretty delicious to watch the president publicly humiliate free thinker Joe Rogan for being an insufficiently loyal regime mouthpiece.
Given who he does appoint (we have Herschel Walker in the Bahamas), maybe that isn't a bad thing.

A Baltimore-based thread to explain one singular, overriding reason why American journalism is incapable of compassing and explaining the astonishing misrule and the implosion of all our governing norms. To wit: A few decades ago, as a police reporter covering the Baltimore department, a new...
Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:
The US will not be taken seriously anywhere in the world until it manages to get rid of Trump and his persistent lying.
All the findings in this Nature story are troubling, but this chart is a good summary. bsky.app/profile/davi...
David Ho@davidho.bsky.social · 7mo agoThis is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has been named a 2026 recipient of the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award, to be presented in May, honoring his defense of the Fed’s independence amid intense political pressure and personal attacks.👇
It is difficult to imagine any US leader who could cause more harm to US foreign policy than Trump: 1. Since he lies all the time, he has wasted all US credibility. 2. Since he pursues trade wars against all purported allies, he is in war with all allies. /1
Senior Iranian official Ali Akbar Ahmadian, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council and former IRGC chief, said Iran had prepared for decades under an asymmetric warfare strategy and told US troops to “come closer.” #Iran
Washington state just passed a law banning law enforcement (including federal ICE agents) from wearing masks or face coverings while on duty. Gov. Bob Ferguson signed it Thursday and it took effect immediately.
The conservative Cato Institute is accusing the Trump admin of carrying out the largest fraud in the history of the immigration system — totaling $1 billion dollars. The scheme allegedly involves taking processing fees from immigrants, then never providing the promised services.
One uncomfortable observation is that the Iranian official representatives speak more coherently, truthfully & sensibly than Trump & Hegseth. This is by no means a support of the Iranian autocratic theocracy, but an observation of the immense fall of the US under Trump.
The committee needs to pull this string because it is probably attached to something that will shoot Mullin in the foot.
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 5mo agoSen. Paul: "If you would spend an hour and go to the SCIF…it would get this over with and we wouldn't have a complaint about going ahead with the vote tomorrow." Mullin: "I have no issue with that. If you guys get cleared on it, because my understanding was that there's only 4 people read in it."
I'm opposed to religious zealotry of any flavor.
Right Wing Watch @rightwingwatch.bsky.social · 5mo agoJoshua Haymes & Brooks Potteiger (Pete Hegseth's pastor) pray imprecatory psalms against James Talarico: "I pray that God kills him. Ultimately, that means killing his heart and raising him up to new life in Christ ... If it would not be within God's will to do so, stop him by any means necessary."
This is both true and sad. It will take a vey long time for the US to recover from the damage done by trump, and not just to the DOJ.
Chris Geidner@chrisgeidner.bsky.social · 5mo agoThe Justice Department is barely even a functional law firm at this point. And there is more proof of that depressing reality each day. Law Dork: www.lawdork.com/p/doj-is-bar...
