Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales both announced this afternoon that they're resigning from Congress.

A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week. For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead. One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.

he's counting on people not knowing what a doctor looks like because they don't have healthcare

Next year Mexico will have Universal Healthcare, and the USA will have the most expensive and worst Healthcare in the world.

reading Trump's blatherings really drives home how nutso he is

Spain's Pedro Sanchez: 23 years ago Spain was dragged into the Iraq war because the Spanish PM then wanted to smoke a cigar with Bush, to put his feet on his table. For his ego. Only 6% of Spaniards agreed with it, 3 million marched. I was one of them.

What do you call a system where CEOs make millions of dollars while laying off thousands of workers?

Uh, whoa: *Sean Feucht* — a conservative and controversial Christian activist who has long been a part of the broader MAGA religious coalition and lead worship music at the White House — comes out against the image Trump posted. This…is rare.

One elderly man was arrested while using a walking stick and an elderly woman was carried away as the crowd chanted "shame on you" at officers. One woman was such an extremist she made a peace sign as she was dragged into a police van. www.councilestatemedia.uk/p/country-th...

I’m not sure it has broken through to the general public that the president is a megalomaniac crazy person. Hopefully posts like this help.

In what universe did this take place www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

We’re in the “if we can’t have her nobody can have her” stage of national murder-suicide

I liked things better when we didn't know what the president was doing every 20 minutes.

You can't blockade a blockade and apart from the oil it exports Iran is almost completely self sustained or supplied by land from neighbouring countries. Or in short, a blockade won't do anything.

Israel is now murdering UN Peacekeepers in Lebanon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Km0F...

If we’re talking about expelling people from government for sexual assault there’s an important one that needs to go…

Trump admitting that the US used negotiations as a cover for “surprise” attacks on Iran, both a war crime and a deeply evil, or as JD Vance might say: “demonic,” thing to do.

Israel has been allowed to commit Genocide for 2+ years and is now applying the same evil tactics in Lebanon

As Israel continues to strike the people of Lebanon, with the death toll having climbed up to 2020 people, Pope Leo says: “To the beloved Lebanese people too I am more than ever close in these days of sorrow, fear, and invincible hope in God.” www.catholicworldreport.com/2026/04/12/p...

While we are all looking at the Strait of Hormuz, Israel is bombing the crap out of Lebanon to expand their territory and change the borders. That’s the real endgame.

They're picking easy fights with Lebanon they know they can steamroll while we fight Iran. A country that is not only geographically defensible, but incredibly adept with the tech at their disposal. We are snuffing out entire global industries for Israel for seemingly no benefit to our own.

Israel never honors Ceasefires and is flattening Lebanon like it flattened Gaza

Current status of the Strait of Hormuz dispute

It's really something to be living through the worst President, the worst Supreme Court, and the worst Congress all at once

Iran is the clear winner of Operation Epic Fury. The US is indisputably in a weaker position than when the war began. Trump has, at the same time, caused incalculable damage to America’s moral reputation by taking part in an unprovoked attack on Iran and openly advocating war crimes

Congress could just expel both Eric Swalwell (D) and Tony Gonzales (R). They could, but they won’t. You do not hate Congress enough.

Death toll in Lebanon surpasses 2,000 - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/death-toll-lebanon-surpasses-2000

One of the reasons I cringe when I hear anyone say “RFK Jr is working hard to try ban food dyes” is that the MAHA/MAGA regime is doing all it can to starve kids, which to me seems like the opposite of “making America healthy” MAHA/MAGA is also kidnapping kids & putting them in concentration camps

Mexico is suing Google for renaming the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. Google has changed the name even though Donald Trump does not have the power to rename international or Mexican waters.

Imagine trusting science to bring astronauts to the moon and back but not trusting science to develop safe vaccines.

Spain recognises Palestine as a State.

Israel doesn't want peace

NewsInsideUkraine t.me/c/1966917236... Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: Let us not allow a new Gaza in Lebanon. In the face of violations of international law, Europe must act consistently if it wants the rest of the world to support us.

Macron: told Iranian President ceasefire must be ‘fully respected’ and include Lebanon - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/macron-told-iranian-president-ceasefire-must-be-fully-respected-and

The UK is providing Air Reconnaissance for Israel over Lebanon from their base in Cyprus to help Israel commit War Crimes.

Wow Ceasefire agreement did include Lebanon. Trump: "agreed that included Lebanon." Mediators: "believed the ceasefire to include Lebanon." Pakistan announced it included Lebanon. "However, the US position shifted following a phone call between Netanyahu and Mr. Trump." CBS News:

Israel's actions in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran have made Jews around the world less safe. Making it so you can't criticize the government of Israel for fear of being labeled anti-semitic will actually contribute to anti-semitism.

Now we’re talking

Shock and awe: “At first, I didn’t understand why the paramedics were taking so long to get here. We thought it was just us but we soon realised all of Beirut was on fire — all of Lebanon.” Lebanon’s 10 minutes from hell @rayajalabi.ft.com www.ft.com/content/5501...

Basic intelligence indicates USA and UK keep shipping weapons to Israel - the only nation on earth currently trying to start a global nuclear war.

I can go for that

Y'all. We have two whole years to figure out someone who is not Harris, who is not Newsom, who is not Pritzker, who represents the kind of future we would like to live in. Two whole years. Don't start borrowing trouble from tomorrow.

I'm so shocked. Said no one ever.

So, let me see if I have this right… we’ve threatened #genocide on social media, ordered the military to commit #warcrimes (which they refused), tried to reinstate the draft without Congress, and threatened the Pope, all in one week? Those #Epsteinfiles must be even more damning than we think.

Wow 🥺 The Iranian national soccer team players with tiny backpacks as tribute to honor the children and teachers killed at the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls' elementary school in Minab, Iran ❤️‍🩹

Draft dodgers shouldn’t have the power to impose the draft.
