So let me get this straight ... 1. US bombs Iran 2. Oil price goes up a bit, benefitting Russia's petrostate 3. Russia gives Iran targeting info 4. Oil price shoots WAY up 5. US unsanctions Russian oil

Understanding is the opposite of fear. It is the antidote to hate.

the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter www.statesman.com/business/art...

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region. Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat. We live in Orwellian times.

“War-a-Lago” By Barry Blitt @newyorker.com

The absolute worst of America is in absolute control of America.

The perverts are the Epstein Class. He is defending the Epstein Class. He is supporting the Epstein Class.

Rubio: “Let me tell you, Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.”

Kristi Noem has used $200M+ in taxpayer funds to pay firms with close ties to her top aides to make anti-immigrant PSAs. Her luxury jets will cost taxpayers nearly $300M. Trump's lackeys rail against "government waste," but are happy to pilfer taxpayer funds for themselves.

There's no reason for Iran to attack NATO nation Turkey—but a drone did. Iran denies sending it. There's no reason for Iran to attack a UK base in Cyprus—but a drone did. Iran denies sending it. Now Azerbaijan has been attacked. Iran denies involvement. I think this is Israel.

Trump Writes Netanyahu Strongly Worded Check

ICYMI — “No one wants to fight for Israel!” Marine veteran Brian McGinnis had his hand injured as AIPAC-backed Senator Sheehy (R) & joined Capitol Police officers in physically removing him as he spoke out against Trump and Bibi’s war.

It keeps happening.

Trump assumed a war would be helpful. It would justify emergency powers. It would deflect from his failures. It would make him seem larger. But it is making him smaller, more hostage to what’s occurring than leader, more Netanyahu’s patsy than partner, another president sucked into a forever war.

MacBook Neo is genius.

It’s time to watch who the AI companies put their money behind. We can witness in real-time which politicians are for sale and who aren’t.

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks. They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors. Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption. Watch how they vote this week.

wow -- Tillis goes ballistic on Noem, telling her "what we've seen is a disaster under your leadership"

You notice how quiet China has been? That's because you never interfere with an enemy who is in the process of destroying himself.

CNN put together a montage of the regime's incoherent talking points about Trump's war on Iran

god fucking dammit

Zero Republicans call for Benghazi-style hearings. No rightwing media outrage. Republicans dined off of 4 dead Americans in Benghazi for a decade, and yet 3 dead Americans at the hands of a GOP president who promised no new wars gets no pushback. Fuck these fake outrage ghouls.

I have never seen a politician more directly copy this speech in my life

Trump 2.0: -Bombed Iran (twice), Venezuela, and Yemen -Allowed Israel to repeatedly violate a ceasefire and kill civilians -Ripped healthcare and SNAP away from millions -Deployed masked ICE agents to terrorize American cities The "Peace President."

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Seems to be the pattern…

I remember when trying to forgive student loans was massive overreach of Presidential power.

"The Peace President." [Cartoon by Benjamin Slyngstad]

They killed schoolchildren, Chuck. Your “imploring” isn’t going to solve shit. Resign and let someone willing to fight against fascism take over.

We don’t want war. We want healthcare, a living wage, and affordable housing.

I will never get used to the disdain our country holds for brown and Black children. From Palestine to Iran to Sudan, we normalize the destruction of schools and hospitals and daycares. We reduce children to death tolls and their futures to rubble with no consequence or second thought.

A pedophile. An adjudicated rapist. A convicted felon. A pathological liar. A sociopath. A malignant narcissist. A sadist. A racist. A fascist. A traitor. An insurrectionist. A war-monger. A demagogue. A despot. An enemy of the Constitution. An American nightmare.

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

Never forget who you’re fighting for.

Does the FIFA Peace Prize mean nothing anymore?

Remember who you are fighting for

I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.

Congress and Supreme Court are only quick to act when it means trying to block President Obama from creating a healthcare program or stopping President Biden from forgiving student debt, but not when it comes to stopping a dangerous criminal tyrant from destroying the world.

Trump: The lives of American heroes may be lost, and we may have casualties — that often happens in war.

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

CBS, Fox, the Washington Post, and Twitter are all owned by Trump-loving billionaires and soon CNN will be too. Here's why American media has a liberal bias problem.

Anthropic did the right thing.

Trump: "This is the Golden Age of America."

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

MAGA, yall good with mass domestic surveillance and autonomous weapons with no humans in the OODA loop?

Anthropic: hey we love that you want to use our model, just don’t use it to spy on US citizens at random, and don’t let machines kill people without human intervention Pete Hegseth: fuck you

You don’t do this if you are innocent.
