2. If Donald Trump walks away from this war, things won’t go back to normal. The AP confirmed reporting from elsewhere that Iran has established a tribute system through the Strait of Hormuz. apnews.com/article/iran...

Will this be The Thing? ... that makes us stop waiting for "the thing"?

We have a strange problem where people recognize the problem, Capitalism But instead doing anything they talk about the mythical 'good Capitalism' No the solution is less Capitalism or no Capitalism at all Take back control from the billionaires Don't ask them to be nice

A staggering new finding from Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies: since 2001, the money left over each month for lower-income renters—after paying rent and utilities—has fallen 60 percent to a record low of $210. $210 left over for food, healthcare, childcare, and everything else.

"We were given wormy food, and when someone spoke out about it and said that the children should get better food, he was taken in the middle of the night and threatened that he and his family would be separated."

Zelensky is Churchill of our century.

A 9-year-old brought a loaded gun to an Albuquerque elementary school—taken from his father’s desk the day before. Now, his father is facing charges under New Mexico law, which holds adults accountable when kids access unsecured firearms.

The people who keep NYC running shouldn't have to choose between work they believe in & the city they call home.
  We’re taking a big step toward making that promise real with our first free child care program for municipal workers, serving children from 6 weeks to 3 years old.

People forget Trump did this.

"He was convinced that all countries were competitors of each other, where the success of one meant the failure of the other. He did not believe that the prosperity of all countries could be increased through cooperation.” What failure of parenting and society produces such a vile human?

#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #Pinks Greed and gluttony are hallmarks of evil.

Is the world really going to have to suffer WW3 because the USA can’t impeach a president?

(3/4) "The complex history of voting rights is a reminder that justice is rarely won all at once. The fight continues until every community is free to participate fully and equally."

(2/4) "Leaders like Marie Louise Bottineau Baldwin, Laura Cornelius Kellogg, Lucy Nicolar Polaw, and Zitkala-Ša fought fiercely to protect Native sovereignty and secure voting rights for their communities, even as they were excluded from the victories of the suffrage movement.⁠"

“My favorite thing is to [steal] the oil in Iran.” Good luck with that idiot, Bush couldn’t manage it in Iraq, which is 1/6th the size and 1/3 as populated. My bet is you shatter our evil empire, but who knows. A couple of false flag attacks and the American sheep will probably fall in line.

This is a wild ride. I want to meet this artist.

jesus i didn't realize we thinned down our AWACS fleet that much

Purported to be the E-3 AWACS destroyed in Saudi Arabia by an Iranian attack. Photos from Air Force amn/NCO/snco FB

Now I'm hearing we also had an E-3 AWACS damaged. Easily, the single worst attack against U.S. High Value Airborne Assets (HVAAs) in the modern era.

3/ "The military part of the Pentagon still functions, but the civilian part has been purged. At its head is Pete Hegseth who puts effort into looking charismatic and brings the perspective of a disgruntled junior officer to everything he does,...

As far as I can tell, this conflict has produced the first KC-135 combat losses due to enemy fire *ever.* The KC-135 has been in continual use by the U.S. Air Force since 1957, to include Vietnam, the 1991 Persian Gulf War, Afghanistan and Iraq.

ok I'm not being funny but "we live paycheck to paycheck in this country" is not a good reason to not have a general strike lol. Americans act like they are the only people to have ever experienced hardship

oh my god maybe it really is the phones

ICYMI: The Trump administration is reportedly receiving millions of immigration applications, pocketing the hefty fees, and never processing the applications. It’s collected over $1 billion in fees so far. Where is the outcry over this fraud and abuse?

Minab is not just an Iranian tragedy; it is our collective loss.

Nope Nope #NoKings #Michigan

Magnificent No Kings protest sign in Ellsworth, Maine. 10/10.

really can't be said enough that this case was decided by the same court that decided plessy v. ferguson. if they could have found a plausible rationale to limit birthright citizenship they would have done it. but there is none! the text is as clear as constitutional language can be.

#TodayILearned that platypuses have venomous legs.

"Overdose in America," an investigative/data series I led, was nominated for the Chicago Headline Club's Lisagor Award for Best Health Journalism. Taking this chance to re-up the series. With everything else going on in the country & the world, I worry those most at risk for OD will be forgotten.

🇨🇦 Mi’kmaq & Parks Canada strike historic partnership in Nova Scotia🪶 thenarwhal.ca/mikmaq-parks... * many Mi’kmaq “refused to enter a national park because of the past.” In recent decades, relationship with Parks Canada has shifted * both groups to jointly care for N.S. parks/heritage sites ...

Your periodic reminder that there is a website that lets you listen to local radio stations anywhere in the world This is honestly one of the coolest inventions ever, imo. Global access to hyper-local imagined communities

Unrestrained capitalism leads to: * Johnstown Flood of 1889 * Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire of 1911 (locked exits) * Radium Girls radiation poisonings of 1917, and the 1920s * Winecoff Hotel fire of 1946 (no fire escapes) * The Texas City Disaster of 1947 * BP Refinery Explosion of 2005

One of these things is not like the others.

Thank you University of Oxford! 🐝🌎

if nothing else, there is something to be said for spending time outside in the sun with thousands of people who share your anger at the state of things

This guy speaks for me, too! 👍 #NoKings

The sheer stupidity of this has left me speechless. 🙄

A Dept. of Veterans Affairs memo obtained by ProPublica set new roadblocks to care for male veterans with breast cancer. The agency cited no new science, instead relying on an executive order about “restoring biological truth” in government. Listen to former Navy fighter pilot Jack Gelman's story:

Iran’s players wore black armbands and held schoolbags as their anthem played before a friendly in Turkey on Friday in what an official said was a protest over the killing of schoolgirls

Many moons ago I saw a bumper sticker that has stuck with me through the years: "Be nice to America or we will bring democracy to you."

People in the US really don't know the only reason Iran has a religious theocracy is that the US overthrew the democratically elected gov't in Iran, and installed the brutal Shah, because they wanted to control their own oil ? Really ????

Oh no! The President is bored with the war he started? We killed 13 service people, increased gas prices and endangered the fertilizer supply that feeds us, but it’s just no fun no more? Maybe if we added musical dance numbers?

I was just helping my kid with their high school Gov homework, and was astonished to learn the United States has a Congress.

WSJ: An Iranian missile struck the Prince Sultan air base in Saudi Arabia on Friday, wounding 10 American servicemembers, two seriously, and damaging several U.S. refueling aircraft, according to U.S. and Saudi officials familiar with the strike.

SCHLAPP: Who wants to see impeachment hearings? CPAC CROWD: *cheers* SCHLAPP: No. That was the wrong answer.
