"The moral cooperation between our countries"!? The world's gone mad. 😱

Heart-breaking scene. Will it stop Trump's bombs?

"The Peace President." This madman must be removed from office. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/trump-threat-whole-civilization-will-die-iran-war-deadline-hormuz-rcna267059

💯 Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ): “Only Congress has the power to declare war, not a rogue president or his lackeys."

That was the craziest thing any of us have ever seen. Yet not one US reporter dares to ask Rubio or Vance how could Europe possibly send men to die under a mentally unstable coalition leader. We must all pretend we didn’t just see what we saw. Americans are in deep denial.

“It’s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, ‘OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?’ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.”

The richest 0.1 percent of the global population are hiding nearly $3 trillion in offshore accounts to evade taxes — more than the wealth held by the entire bottom half of humanity. It would take about $93 billion per year to eradicate extreme hunger by 2030. Taxing the rich is a global necessity.

Ever wonder how to get rid of a mattress? Or how to find resources for a neighbor in need? Call 311.    311 is contacted 100,000 times every day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. No call is too small.    So on the anniversary of 311 (3/11), I decided to answer some of those calls myself.

NEW: US Government bans satellite imagery of the Middle East. This seems exactly the kind of thing you would do before you committed widespread atrocities.

Brilliant!

During a news conference at the White House on Monday, President Trump said of Iran, “The entire country can be taken out in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night.” on.wsj.com/3O7fm7S

US-Israeli strikes hit Tehran's Sharif University — known as Iran’s MIT & a hub of student protests against the Iranian regime. Targeting civilian infrastructure is a war crime & only solidifies the regime's power. Trump & Netanyahu have no plan, just more wanton destruction.

Completely insane. Unhinged. Rude. PSYCHOTIC. Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. The 25th has never been needed more.

Trump says Obama's nuclear deal was bad because it was a short 10-year deal. The monitoring measures were set for 25 years.

The civilians we're bombing are begging us to keep bombing them.

HAHAHA! This is great. 😆

Gov. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) to expand early voting in municipal elections: "As Pres Trump attempts to undermine elections & make voting harder through his unconstitutional Exec. Order, we will take every step to protect the integrity of our elections & ensure they are more accessible"

Proud to deliver real results for Greenbelt. Team Maryland is bringing home investments that expand opportunities for our kids, from after-school programs to a new roof at the Youth Center. When we invest in our young people, we are investing in our future.

Donald Trump just posted a video of Somali people enjoying the Mall of America to the soundtrack of “Mad World” because he is a bigoted POS

Thinking about this a lot right now.

Imagine a foreign adversary, during negotiations, unilaterally attacked and destroyed Harvard, Yale, MIT and 50 other universities and cancer research centers, killing students and even targeting professors in their homes. It would be greatest outrage of the century.

Oh wow. How did I miss this? The SAVE America Act would effectively ban voter registration drives, a mainstay of college campuses and neighborhood events. They really REALLY don't want people voting. www.rawstory.com/trump-267666...

Apparently, unhinged threats to commit war crimes are ”fiery” now.

Cherise Doyley, a mother of three, was in labor at a Florida hospital when she had to attend a virtual court hearing to decide how she'd give birth. Doyley had no lawyer or advocate — no one to explain to her what, exactly, was going on. Read our full investigation: propub.li/3PRyLuf

Elon Musk is now worth over $800 billion. Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025. Meanwhile, millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Netanyahu prodded Trump into an illegal war. Now the Saudi bone saw guy is trying to keep him in the illegal war.

The DOJ quietly closed 23,000+ criminal cases in the first six months of Trump’s second administration, abandoning hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime, drugs and other offenses as it shifted resources to pursue immigration cases. 🔗 Full story: https://propub.li/4e5vZLL

ICE agents came to a military base and grabbed the newlywed wife of a soldier who's about to deploy. The wife came to the U.S. as a toddler. She has no criminal record. None of this is how it used to work. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/05/u...

Comparing Easter messages

The Iranian Embassy in South Africa weighs in:

Iran Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf responds to Trump, warning his “reckless moves” are dragging the U.S. toward chaos and risking a wider regional war.

Trump is clearly unfit to be President. But do not let that explain away the evil of his threatening war crimes against the Iranian people, on Easter Sunday no less.  We cannot let Trump normalize this.

It’s time to post one of my favorite memes of the year.

This is Senator Rick Scott at Disneyland, after vowing to boycott "woke Disney".. He must have gotten free passes.

"Hoping he doesn't run us off a global thermonuclear bridge into oblivion." 😬

"Thanks again to all the people who couldn’t bring themselves to vote for the infinitely more qualified Black woman." Grrr....

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

It cannot be ruled out that this is a threat to use a nuclear weapon against Iran

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani recently ordered several audits of the city’s existing sanctuary laws. With an eye on mass ICE deployments elsewhere, he also required training for city employees on how to respond to federal agents.

Any reporter who wants an opinion on the economy and this war, just pull-up to a gas station and ask the folks at the pump. And you know it’s bad when folks are pumping just enough gas to go find cheaper gas.

If Iran does not capitulate, Trump says, "we're blowing up the whole country." He isn't satisfied with murdering 100+ Iranian schoolchildren in his illegal war. He wants more blood. The 77 million Americans who voted for Trump committed a crime against humanity.

Again and again, I return to the same thought about authoritarianism, fascism, reactionary thinking, whatever you want to call it: it is not an alternative analysis or an alternative set of values. It is permission to wallow in brainstem-level feelings. It is permission to ignore the frontal cortex.
