Apr 4: Said Iran must comply "immediately" or face further consequences. Apr 5: "Open the fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah." ENDS

Awful www.ajc.com/news/2026/02...

The founders believed that if a madman became president, members of Congress would serve the country’s interest and remove him from office. That seemed a reliable system to safeguard the republic. Boy, did they screw up.

“George’s replacement, Gen. Christopher LaNeve, is Hegseth’s former military assistant. The Army officer I spoke with said LaNeve ‘doesn’t have a great reputation.’ LaNeve won White House favor with a video call congratulating Trump on his election victory.” www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Unauthorized by Congress, still unauthorized after more than a month of war.

Infuriating and disgraceful. Trump and Markwayne Mullin, and for that matter the United States Congress, could stop this at any moment. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/05/u...

“In a sane world, Americans wouldn’t have elevated an arrogantly ill-informed and reckless man to make the gravest possible decisions for our nation. Nor would the U.S. Senate…confirm men and women deeply ill-equipped to perform their duties.” www.americaamerica.news/p/how-much-d...

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

While Trump is destroying the Middle East and our NATO alliance, these folks won't ever let anyone forget that what matters first to everyone is whether they can feed their families, pay their bills, afford health care, provide child care, buy clothing... the stuff we all need. go.bsky.app/FpeMh5Y

Photojournalist Nathan Howard took this photo of Donald Trump entering Trump National Golf Club in Virginia earlier while dodging church services on Easter.

Yes it will be pure World Joy!

Trump is out Golfing today. Trump Skips Church, Visits Golf Club on Easter as Iran War Continues Trump enjoys golf resort amenities as troops remain in harm’s way meidasnews.com/news/trump-s...

A+ headline.

The only thing I don't understand here is that Hegseth DID have a confirmation hearing. Unless @radiofreetom.bsky.social is being facetious. In which case: hahahaha

The New York Times deleted Trump’s “open the fuckin’ strait” line to make him look less insane Their write-up falsely says his post says only “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” and “Praise be to Allah”

Trump described to me on Air Force One on January 10, 2019 a way to casually crucify migrants on the border wall. He’s not Christian. He’s inhuman. His threat today on Easter to bomb Iranian civilians is consistent with his character.

“What he really wanted, Trump said, was soaring black spikes baking in the hot sun — electrified, if possible — and tall enough that bloodied corpses of attempted climbers might dangle above the desert floor and send a message to others: do not defy me.” www.defiance.news/p/the-casual...

It is impressive and telling that this post, which contains no specificity, identifies a future event with sufficient specificity that readers can readily recognize what that event will be.

“[Trump's] detached from reality, he’s deranged. He’s a narcissistic sociopath. He’s flailing, he’s floundering. He’s screwed up this war, he’s screwed up the economy. His poll numbers are dropping to the low 30's. He can’t take the blame so he wants to start chopping away at the people around him.”

The US is under the control of a fanatical, racist, anti-science right wing death cult, led by a deteriorating criminal madman.

In Jan 2010 ‘Citizens United was implemented & people were allowed to give unlimited amounts of money to politicians. A huge percent comes from billionaires. This is why we don’t have child care. health care - the basic needs of life that rich people easily access

But Netanyahu told him it would be over in a weekend and then he could choose the next Iranian leader.

If we could just raise sea levels by 150 meters we get a backup Strait of Hormuz

Even in a world of extremes, some events still stand out to me. This is one. All-time monthly records are being shattered. The size of this ridge across the western U.S. is truly striking for March, and we see a very clear climate change connection. Explore: csi.climatecentral.org/climate-shif...

one thing there is desperately little evidence of is actual substantial numbers of people becoming more religious and more traditional this is an elite movement not a mass movement

1-year Anniversary of Liberation Day: -US foreign direct investment is lower -US factories employ 89,000 fewer people -US goods trade deficit is UP 2% -Treasury collected billions but must return it -Inflation elevated. -Every court + SCOTUS found them unconstitutional www.npr.org/2026/04/02/n...

The last 24 hours marked the highest number of U.S. aircraft shot down in a single day since Vietnam Trump did that.

Within 48 hours of Trump's claims about destroying Iranian air defenses, the following happened: - Downed F-15 plane - Downed A-10 plane - Damaged F-16 plane - Damaged Two Black Hawk helicopters

"No amount of competence, combined with sufficient depravity, can bring these prosecutions. They just don't work. But Donald Trump doesn't care about that because he's detached from reality. He's a deranged narcissistic sociopath."

What is the point of this war? Now our allies cannot access the Strait of Hormuz- they have no oil. We have derailed the global economy. And the Iranian people have lost so much. What for? I see only war crimes

Trump slashed science funding -U.S. faces a costly brain drain. 95,000 ppl departed federal science agencies 2024 -2025. “cuts to science could shrink U.S economy by $1 trillion over 10 yrs. Trump’s 2027 budget includes more cuts for scientific research www.nytimes.com/2026/04/04/b...

If the stakes weren't so high and the human toll wasn't so awful, it would be genuinely very funny how little of a shit Trump gives about any part of his job that isn't renovations or rigging elections. The most obviously checked out dude in history.

🚨 🚨 ABC News confirms that Iran used advanced, passive infrared detection to shoot down the American F-15E fighter jet. Passive infrared detection does not emit radar signals. As a result, it cannot be detected or jammed by American electronic warfare systems. That leaves our aircraft vulnerable.

I am a writer and I love writing even though it's sometimes hard and frustrating (because it's also a process of thinking that leads to epiphanies and insights and it's also about making patterns and endeavoring to make something beautifully true whenever possible).

So much this. Also, the tech bro mafia doesn't really like reading. They don't *appreciate* reading. So just because *they* can't spot the difference between good writing and bad writing, they think most people can't either.
