This entire administration and the entire GOP has shamed this nation w their corruption, w n by their actions that betray the oaths they swore to..

Clears it up a lot.

This photo broke me. I will never forgive anyone who voted for this.

Why does fiction matter? Because stories can sharpen the way we understand other people. A meta-analysis found that reading fiction has a small but positive effect on social cognition. Including our ability to interpret emotions, motives, and inner lives. ⏰📚💙📚🎧 #books #reading #fiction

Did you know: “FLOWER POWER” is rooted in the anti-war movement of the late ‘60s & early 1970s. The phrase was coined by Allen Ginsberg, who urged protesters to turn anti-war rallies into a type of street theatre… 🧵1/2

Purple dye,originally produced by the Phoenicians of Tyre and Sidon in Lebanon, was very expensive because it took 12-250,000(😳) murex snails to produce an ounce of dye. Hence, the color “royal”purple. Only monarchs could afford it. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekPForPurple #History #Textiles #Fashion

You do you, but I am calling my Rep & Senators today to request the US withdrawal of all support for the rogue Israeli government of Benjamin Netanyahu. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Virginia Woolf, more than a hundred years ago:

SORKIN: There's a whole number of very large companies, including Apple and Amazon, that have not sought reimbursements yet for the tariffs. From what I understand, part of the reason is they're worried about offending you. TRUMP: I think it's brilliant. They got to know me very well. I'm honored.

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

WTF News 🗞️ Disabled Veterans arrested today at the nation’s Capitol for protesting the Iran war.

Do not turn your heads. Look at this.

I got at this dynamic a bit in an interview with BBC Arabic, where I note both the lack of experienced US diplomats at the table with Iran & the absolute trashing of any standing the US had as a mediator in the region. "The Trump administration is stripping diplomacy of its meaning."

Notice the overarching trend of the personalization of politics (& straight graft). These people aren't negotiating anything on behalf of populations whom they ostensibly represent; those populations don't even factor to them. It's all a system of favors b/t businessmen who see financial opportunity

Solidère/Hariri model sanitized tourist playground for Damascus, cruise ship terminal & golf for millionaires on the coast, and no mention of anything that will benefit ordinary Syrians. Just a bunch of billionaire families redefining the bounds of disaster capitalism.

Palantir is a EVIL company. Thiel wants to spy on all Americans. ICE is using Palantir to help them round up & kidnap people. Thiel believes in NAZI Ideology. He wants to reshape America in his image.He does not believe in Democracy.He is a criminal, insane,a SOCIOPATH,EVIL & is dangerous👇🏻
