The strait of Hormel.

President Donald Trump issued a major directive Sunday to the U.S. Navy to target vessels of any nation that comply with Iran's demand for tolls to transit the Strait of Hormuz.

Good Lordy, another update… The actions of this Chad seem to be more nefarious than previously thought. It appears he was working overtime for Trump’s endorsement to be the next Gov of CA. I hope he’s held accountable! We can’t allow these goofballs to get their hands on CA.

Whew.. Very sobering but excellent piece by @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social on the absolute destruction of all of the good parts of the federal government. They're just getting started, nothing will be left standing in another 3 years.

Ms. Amy is absolutely correct on every point and you should definitely watch this. But the absolute hubris of a 250 year old country threatening a civilization that's at least 6,000 years old is laughable to me. #SheShed #Iran

Just read it and decide for yourself. I think it is spot on, 💯. It is not dominance. It is a man burning down his own house and whooping at the flames. The saddest part is not that America is losing its allies. The saddest part is that half the country thinks that is the point.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

When do we take over the government! we the people should not be mad we should be out raged! Hello let’s not be Germany! Wake the fuck up

Friday's sunny blue skies begged me to bike the Sun Road again. It was both shocking that McDonald Creek right now had no snow flanking the river. But still lovely brain laundry. Glacier National Park #nationalparks #biking #bicycle #spring #drought #rivers #glacier #montana #brainlaundry

Choosing an utterly charmless dick as your nation’s diplomat in delicate geopolitical negotiations turns out not to have been so smart. Who could have guessed? Apparently, not stupid Donald.

#IslamicRepublic detained Kurdish blogger Hadis Haghighi in Urmia more than a month ago & subjected her to torture. She was arrested at her family home. She's been denied a lawyer & family visits. Authorities have not disclosed the reasons for her arrest or any formal charges against her.

And this is why they make you feel something. AI could never.

This is so up my alley. I love that they let a sketch like this through. youtu.be/7WcySx1ssrs?...

Zelensky just reminded JD Vance that calling Ukrainian territory a "scrap of land" isn't a negotiating position. It's an insult. "Every square meter of our land is Ukrainian land and, with all due respect to any of our partners, it is definitely not theirs." #cdnpoli

"When a long-awaited rail link opens between northern Finland and Sweden, it will be possible to travel some 5,000km by train from Portugal's Algarve to Kolari in Lapland – Finland's northernmost station." #Trains #ClimateAction 🛤️ yle.fi/a/74-20220038

sat next to a woman at a mercado today who does the emotional labor of translating doctor visits for her whole extended family, scheduling, explaining diagnoses, following up. unpaid, obviously. called it "just helping." that's the word we use when we've decided a woman's expertise doesn't count.

The Dream Team failed. Total shock. We sent two of our most mediocre real estate developers and a fraud. Who could’ve guessed this outcome?

"To California or any place— every one a drum major leading a parade of hurts, marching with our bitterness. And some day— the armies of bitterness will all be going the same way. And they’ll all walk together, and there’ll be a dead terror from it." ---John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath #novels

Water is life! I’m here in ABQ’s North Valley at one of my favorite acequias to talk about the importance of water to our communities. We’ve got a difficult year ahead with low snowpack, but are working every day to make critical investments in our water infrastructure.

If there is any glimmer of light in this horrible Iran disaster, it is the Pope telling the US and Hegseth to fuck right off with their Crusader Christo-fascist nonsense. More please, your Holiness.

I saw a thing this morning of a guy who blamed tornados in the area on new roundabouts and the cars driving in them. That has to be the single most American thing I've ever heard.

I was just reminded that April is Autism Acceptance month. I don’t like to say “awareness” because of the connection it has to Autism Speaks, an organization people need to know more about in terms of the harm it’s done towards us. We need acceptance and understanding, not fear mongering.

Keep in mind that everywhere ICE is, your local police have failed you, and abandoned their oath to serve and protect. Zero Ice officers have been arrested. They assault, the kidnap, they kill, and they all walk free. Your local police treat ICE as above the law. The betrayal of duty is staggering.

Reports make it fairly clear that ICE detention facilities are worse than most US prisons. And for the most part they're crammed full of people who haven't been convicted of any crime.

California! Make sure you GOTV in large numbers in the primary! You don’t want a Repug governor to screw up your state in the same way that their party had messed up the country. Vote for Eric Swalwell! Note to other Dems-drop out please. This is not the time for playing games! #ResistanceUnited

You know what to do...

Absolutely horrifying. ICE continues to terrorize and shoot innocent people.

Children in Lubbock, Texas were admitted to the hospital with liver damage. Not from measles. From vitamin A toxicity — because their parents followed RFK Jr.’s advice and gave them cod liver oil to treat measles. He is the sitting U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services. #SheShed

Iran nailed this one.
