Markets are *very* unhappy about developments in Iran.

For Trump, every crisis he creates turns into a new distraction. Healthcare losses- tear down East Wing Epstein Files- bomb Iran (Part 1) ICE kills Americans- invade Venezuela Epstein Files- bomb Iran (Part 2) Tens of thousands of jobs lost- Cuba! #TrumpsJobsSlump

So we are at war with Iran because Trump had a feeling. I have a feeling he was looking for every and any way to distract from the Epstein Files and now we are all paying the price. Death and destruction all across the Middle east with soaring prices and a crashing economy back here in America.

They are CHILDREN.. #Iran #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

“It took more than 10 months… and being hospitalized for the media to see [Leqaa Kordia] as a human being.” Columbia protest leader Mohsen Mahdawi tells @mehdirhasan.bsky.social why you’re not hearing about Leqaa Kordia’s brutal, 10-month detention in ICE custody. Watch: zeteo.com/p/columbia-m...

“This is taking a big and very scary step toward a kind of totalitarian checkpoint society.” The DHS is using Mobile Fortify, an app that allows officers to photograph a person’s face and immediately query DHS databases for matches, on protestors.

This is what all big companies should be doing.

Then you remember that some elements of our justice system were always rotten:

It should’ve been Topic One 10 years ago. From November 2017: “In 1994, Trump went to a party with Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire who was a notorious registered sex offender, and raped a 13-year-old girl that night in what was a "savage sexual attack…” www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill her—and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?

I'm having trouble dealing with my angry feelings of late. Being powerless to do anything about the shtfckry happening in our world today is very damaging to the psyche. Western governments are out of control and not listening to the people. The Fourth Reich marches on.

Every single member of Congress that hasn't spoken up and acted is complicit in the murder and destruction of every single country we are going to war with and they should be put on trial too. Disgusting. #USA #America #Congress

Literally everything the Heritage Foundation suggests is nauseating “The state’s proposed “trigger laws,” …are direct challenges to Plyler v. Doe, a narrowly decided 1982 Supreme Court case that enshrined the right to a free K–12 public education regardless of immigration status.”

This is your general periodic reminder that Congressional Republicans could stop this (gestures at everything) any time. Seriously, any time. In fact, it's their job to check the president. They're shirking their duties.

Well, this aged exactly how I was afraid it would

AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.

I demand UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER of the Epstein Files—and then your title of "President of the United States," and your liberty to walk freely in public. That would be GREAT & ACCEPTABLE.

"The move could lead to a further escalation of the war, given Donald Trump had already acknowledged that Mojtaba Khamenei was the most likely successor and made clear he considered such an outcome unacceptable." www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, and discrimination are viruses, magnified by suffering, carried in buckets, spilled onto the world. We cannot eliminate them by actions that magnify hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, discrimination and suffering - only by actions that relieve them.

DOJ confirmed that 47,635 Epstein files have been removed. That’s ANOTHER 47,635 reasons why we need ACCOUNTABILITY!

It looks like the war on Iran is going about as poorly as the regime’s previous wars against Chicago, Minnesota and Los Angeles.

"The White House has blocked the release of a joint intelligence bulletin warning state and local authorities of elevated terror threats stemming from Trump's military assault on Iran, according to the Daily Mail." Looks like Trump wants a terror attack on US Soil www.rawstory.com/trump-terror...

I woke to 25 new blocks after I posted a plea for people to vote, so let me be clear. I don't give a fuck what ideology you claim... If you are actively discouraging people from voting, telling them it won't matter, and that nothing will ever change... You are an ally of fascism. Full Fucking Stop.

Even if you are 100% convinced that Democracy is already dead and our votes won't count... PLEASE VOTE ANYWAY! I'm begging everyone. There is a critical mass of voter turnout that will be too big to fix. Please vote, no matter how bleak it seems.

6 weeks since you've been gone. since i last walked down that hospital hallway knowing you weren't coming home. i don't wish this pain on anyone. i miss my mama so much. 💔

350,000 peoples’ lives hang in the balance. A majority entered the U.S. legally and have never been in violation of any immigration law. They’ve had to go through multiple background checks. And yet they’re hanging on by a thread, even though the situation in Haiti hasn’t gotten any better.

The Jan. 6 plaque honoring police was just installed in the Capitol — at 4 a.m.: Three years since Congress ignored its own deadline, the memorial plaque recognizing the service of law enforcement on Jan. 6 is finally on display in the very building they defended from a mob of Trump supporters.

The war on Iran is unfolding alongside a wave of mass layoffs in the US. These are not separate crises. They are two sides of the same offensive by the ruling class against the working class.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective. He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

Find a way to end the economic threat to the majority of Americans!!! We all deserve better than this and need to demand economic equality for ALL of our citizens!!!
