I am in Barcelona today to help unite progressive parties from around the world in a defense of democracy and a war against corruption. A first of its kind event. Necessary to beat back the forces of fascism.

BREAKING: New data shows ZERO oil tankers passed through the Strait of Hormuz today, signaling what appears to be a complete shutdown of the Strait for the first time in history. The Strait normally carries about 20% of the world’s oil supply.

The brinkmanship of insanity

Drunken, rudderless, nut job.

📌MEDIA: Stop calling Jared Kushner a "high-level negotiator." He's a damn thief operating in his repulsive family's best interests not ours.

Here it is, my annual reminder: don't spray spring dandelions with roundup. One flower can be visited by 100+ bees in a day, and your chemicals will kill all of them. 🌻

“The United States is being murdered, and it’s an inside job. Every department, every branch, every bureau and function of the federal government is being fatally corrupted or altogether dismantled or disabled.”

I’m seriously starting to believe that this empire does not deserve to exist.

Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.

I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business. WE Pay for

Charlize Theron on the Night Her Mother Killed Her Father in Self-Defense Unfortunately, this is not an isolated story. These things are prevalent in a lot of homes. Women really get a very, very unfair shake, even in this country. Nobody takes it seriously.

The NYT big expose on SCOTUS today pairs well with @ariberman.bsky.social and @pemalevy.bsky.social's cover story on how ~everything wrong with this country today can be laid at the feet of John Roberts: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Trump has destabilized the globe. That is a fact. He started a baseless war. That is a fact. He had no plan for this war. That is obvious. Yet despite terrible prices on everything, people do his bidding and follow him. Cult.

#RISEUP We must be what they fear. The #USA is an evil Empire of corporate interests. There is no republic, no great leader coming to our rescue. Just regional managers as far as the eye can see.

The worst possible tactic you can use when negotiating a deal with a regime like Iran is to dunk on them in public during negotiations. Any knowledgeable seasoned diplomat knows this. But we have Mr. Art of the Deal who needs to feed his cult and the markets a steady diet of BS.

Trump lied to the world, again, about the Iran negotiations. The Strait of Hormuz is closed once again, and the world remains in crisis, a crisis caused by the reckless actions of one man, acting illegally, without consulting Congress or our allies. New 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/trumps-rid...

The final act of any narcissist is inevitably a descent into psychosis. Thus are we now witnessing the mayhem of “history’s dumbest madman,” a toddler with a gun, a Dunning-Kruger president with a brain of moldering oatmeal as supremely confident as he is utterly ignorant.

“They have called us back at midnight to cast a secret vote to reauthorize FISA while America sleeps,” said Khanna in a late-night social media post. “A yes vote gives Trump more power to surveil Americans. Every Democrat must vote no. Everyone who loves the constitution must vote no.”

Iran’s joint military command said Saturday that “control of the Strait of Hormuz has returned to its previous state under strict management and control of the armed forces.” It will continue to block transit through the strait as long as the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports remained in effect.

I Completely Support This Petition….

Who could’ve predicted this would happen?

America’s present “government” is a den of madmen and thieves.

“The good news is that, from Zohran Mamdani and [Congresswoman] Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in New York to Pedro Sánchez in Spain, from Lula in Brazil to [Green Party Leader] Zack Polanski in the UK, we may be seeing the early signs of a new cross-border alliance taking shape against global oligarchy.”

Yet another criminal act to prosecute as soon as we regain both sides of Congress.

Here’s the ad promoting the new Peter Thiel backed startup, Objection, where AI will allegedly determine the veracity of journalists’ claims. It looks like they took the ad down, but I screen grabbed it when I could still access it from a QT by right wing Christian investor Nate Fischer. 1/

In 2016, the “stupid thing” was to give an iPad to every child when they started school at the age of five. It had no parental controls on it, and the parents who complained were ignored, dismissed as “dinosaurs”. Books disappeared from classrooms. Children stopped reading.
