Here I am protecting the Strait of Hormuz with all of my allies who are just out of frame.

Again I am asking my friends outside the US to save this for documentation for the war crimes trials that need to take place.

I realize that to people outside the PNW this is just an interesting news item, but if you're in the PNW, where tracking orca pods is a local religion, this is basically like being visited by alien gods

⚡️Greek oil tanker in Russian waters hit in suspected drone strike. Greek Maritime Minister Vassilis Kikilias said he believed the strike may be connected to the U.S. decision to temporarily ease sanctions on Russian oil.

Watching these guys learn basic geopolitics in real time is incredible. Ah so that's why you need allies. I see

I reached out to the Biss campaign to ask about this and was told they're "looking into it." But I did a quick search through FEC filings and couldn't find any evidence of the firm being a vendor or outside spender, or of Biss and two others listed here having weird overlaps. Details below:

So, this story is looking more like bullshit from @katmabu.bsky.social & @bencollins.bsky.social. Great work by @alexhairysun.bsky.social ( @mattheweadie.bsky.social has also been great) @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social did you do as much reporting as @evanstonnow.bsky.social or did you just mail it in?

Abughazaleh claimed a dirty trick. Her boyfriend’s friend/ex-colleague wrote a credulous (at best) piece about it. Abughazaleh is now insinuating—with no evidence—Daniel Biss might be behind it. Now the whole story is looking sketchy.

(Reuters) - President Donald Trump's administration has rebuffed efforts by Middle Eastern allies to start diplomatic negotiations aimed at ending the Iran war that started two weeks ago with a massive U.S.-Israeli air assault, according to three sources familiar with the efforts. @reuters.com

And @atrupar.com is the only one amplifying Ossoff’s resistance.

Not so long ago, hugging Hitler was one of those lines you just didn’t cross. But that’s what’s been happening with increasing regularity, revealed by a recent string of unhinged text chains revealed among young Republican leaders. Read John Avlon’s commentary: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

"Americans ration medicine and postpone retirement to afford health care, polls find: About 1 in 3 U.S. adults say they’ve made trade-offs to afford health care in the past year." www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

1. Don't snitch-tag. 2. Don't explain to people what they just said. 3. Don't "correct" people's jokes. 4. Don't respond seriously to silly little posts. 5. Don't respond trivially to obviously serious posts. 6. Don't "jocularly insult" people you don't know. The rest is commentary.

Haitian woman, 31, dies alone at Pittsburgh bus stop days after ICE released her to the streets far from home to perish. Rest in power, Daphy Michel: migrantinsider.com/p/the-loneso...

How Trump alone got the US - and the world - into a crisis in the Middle East. From the WSJ.

A missile has hit the US Embassy in Baghdad.

While I don't like dark money groups period, let us remember one thing: Kat Abughazaleh is a terrible candidate who parachuted into the district. There are actual Democrats who live in the IL-09 who will do a much better job as Rep. than she ever will. I am posting this for free, BTW.

No matter what happens… Never stop talking about the Epstein Files. Never stop talking about the Epstein Files. Never stop talking about the Epstein Files. No matter what.

Newsom's press office shared the accusation following an email sent out to Trump supporters that used an image of Trump at Dover.

A Missile/Drone has reportedly struck the Dubai office of Citibank, one of the largest US financial institutions operating in the Persian Gulf @presstv.bsky.social

1. Let me see if I have this right. The Russians are now helping the Iranians kill Americans, first by providing “targeting information,” according to the Post. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Trump used an image from a dignified transfer for six U.S. service members killed in an Iranian drone strike in a fundraising email promising donors access to “private national security briefings.” theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/trump-soli...

“These middle-aged men, some of the most powerful in the world, are not allowed even to stand or walk normally. The shoes are not very expensive—about $145—but apparently even to order a replacement pair in the correct size wld risk an unacceptable breach of courtly etiquette. What if he noticed??"

Elon Musk apparently got so sick of people saying that he looked like Pol Pot that he decided to destroy USAID and try to beat those mass- murder numbers.

who did nothing but complain about the man who made their healthcare cheaper are pissed their healthcare is about to get much more expensive because they fucked over the President who was making healthcare cheaper & working to make their lives better. But he was so old. Fucking idiots.

Clinton was the only president to balance the budget. Bush left office in a near depression & Obama fixed the economy & passed the ACA. With a slim House majority & a 50-50 Senate, Biden got more legislation passed through reconciliation & with bipartisan support than any Congress in years. 2️⃣/3️⃣

It's tough to understand how we got stuck in this cycle where every time a Democratic president does as much as they can with the trifecta they come into office with, the electorate breaks it up in the midterms, then elects a GOP president with a trifecta who dismantles their accomplishments. 🧵 1️⃣/3️⃣

Canada’s new government is securing every corner of the True North — unlocking the potential of its vast resources, and delivering the strong, connected communities that Northerners deserve.

I continue to be utterly shocked at how much the Trump era has revealed that a lot of the ppl in elite spaces are just straight up incurious idiots

#ProudBlue #Voices4Victory I think it’s time to go after their meds

Every now and then, it's worth reminding yourself that every single crisis of Trump 2.0 -- the economic downturn, the chaos in our cities, the rising health crisis, the foreign wars -- has been a direct result of their own actions. If they'd done nothing at all, they'd be coasting comfortably.

He's dunking on the media for rolling over. Congratulations on bending over for an old pedophile. An idiot, too. Reminding me of the Jeffrey Epstein text chain saying Trump never respects anyone who folds on his demands. Good work

Watching Politico get told they're sanewashing shit by the guy they're sanewashing is just excellent. Media cooked. Getting dunked on by the people they're protecting. We are in the post-dignity era of the press.

"I ASSUMED the US Military had an active plan to open the Strait." How can people who are paid to understand geopolitics be so bafflingly naive?

As I have said since Feb 2025, Trump is in office to solve Putin's problems. How else are you going to ensure that Putin's failed state becomes prosperous? it is already having to be propped up by China.

fuck me for being this person, i guess, but public universities are a civic good and shouldn’t be run like businesses. and if you’re going to insist on running them like so, at least do some market research. students like their professors; they don’t want MOOCs taught by ChatGPT.

🚨 A new frontier of coordinated disinformation. Fossil fuel industry front groups are using AI platforms to flood clean air regulators with fake public comments—submitted under real residents' names, without their consent. @robbonta.bsky.social www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Pretty sure neither Hillary Clinton nor Kamala Harris would be threatening Greenland (Denmark), Canada, Mexico and Cuba or invading Ecuador, Venezuela, Nigeria, Iran, etc. They wouldn't be ordering ICE to shoot Americans in the face either. This person didn't vote for Kamala in 2024:

I read this article with my mouth agape. I cannot fathom that this happened in 2024. What a dystopian world we are now living in.

The rise of app-based sports gambling was the result of a Supreme Court opinion written by Sam Alito applying a doctrine invented by Antonin Scalia. Also sports gambling is not legal in Minnesota

@washingtonpost.com the prices for subscriptions are now set using our personal data. So AI. I was a subscriber for 10 years, I cancelled last year amongst the BS. I will never be back now as long as Bezos still owns this paper. He is a piece of shite.

Count me in as another person who canceled their Washington Post subscription, as well as their Amazon prime subscription.

Pretty sure a lot of the online sites already do this. I’ve had Amazon show me a price for an item that was $25 when I was at home and when I tried to order it from my work computer on my work account the price was suddenly $40

Dems should run against this shit. Airlines, drugstores, all sorts of ways this can be used to gouge the shit out of people (you visit an obituary and then try to find a flight to that city, for example).

Here’s part of the video where Bessent was pulled away because he was needed by Trump and returned an hour and a half later visibly shaken. This is where people were possibly wondering if information came in about Bibi or his brother, etc.
