Maybe we need to rethink a verified Jerry…this post reminded me I had a load of laundry going…if not for Jerry I would’ve forgotten to transfer it to the dryer. Not all heroes wear capes.

To quote members of this administration who have been questioned by Congress and others, “I won’t entertain hypotheticals.”

Does anyone know what semi trucks run on? Is it trump farts? I hope it’s trump farts…apparently we have a yuuuge supply of trump farts.

365 days means over$600bn/yr. SNAP before trump cuts $100bn/fy2025. We could provide food security 6x over for the country’s neediest households. Impeachment this administration and start the trials.

Leaders around the world appear to be struggling to respond to an American administration that is no longer constrained by pretending to care about human lives, the law, or the cost of its hubris. trib.al/bI8OHbv

He didn’t realize…

When Russia invaded Ukraine we had a chance to really declaw them as a predatory regime. Now the tables are turned because trump thinks he can act like Putin, but he’s only weakening the US.

It’s not just the closure Hormuz Refineries were destroyed. They need to be built back up (or not and we actually do something about climate change). At the same time costs will continue to be inflated as insurance on shipping will remain high due threats. (trump may taco, but region is still hot)

For as long as she’s been a recording artist, saxophonist Melissa Aldana has wanted to make a ballads record. With archetypes like John Coltrane’s classic “Ballads” LP as her North Star, Aldana set out to create “Filin,” a pivotal next step in her lifelong quest for sound: melissaaldana.lnk.to/Filin

Unconditional surrender. We will take the oil. Their words deny surrender and the oil we went to war for is burning. 165+ school children killed. A war that isn’t a war. And the president hints at a longer war with boots on the ground. No goal in sight. Pay more, I guess die, trump on kalshi. We die

I love fog. I love stratus clouds coming to rest on the earth wafting through our streets. These skyborne entities descending to meet us, touch the earth and mingle with the landborne, we walk on clouds for a short time and I am grateful for it.

Iranian hackers have an opportunity to be legends.

There have been some very bad developments today.

Media today refer to bush and Iraq as if they at least had a plan. Maybe more so than trump but they still went into war with a belief they could dictate the outcome. Their reasoning was based on lies and their objectives were constantly shifting. No different than trump today. It’s the same plan.

I’m sure the American Firsters will love this (not!)…not that it matters much as it’s a sure sign things are escalating quickly and we’re careening toward a global conflagration. Neocons are gonna neocon. Good luck everybody.

Rest in power, Rev. Jackson.

Why would we, as a nation care about 165 Iranian schoolgirls when we turned away from the carnage of our own school children who have died due to guns and gun culture in this country? This, despairingly, is who we are. open.substack.com/pub/paulwald...

What about Mike Johnson’s “misguided religion?”

Please tell me there is someone explaining to trump et al. the difference between Sunni and Shia. They are thinking of arming the Kurds, who are Sunni to fight and overthrow a majority Shiite nation??? What could go wrong?

Mark Wayne Mullin!?! The idiocy continues.

"Further, it’s obvious that the private sector has no interest in sinking billions of dollars into ensuring that working people have a decent wage, cheap electricity, tidy schools with well-paid teachers, safe neighborhoods with helpful police, and charming parks with public pools." ~ Dino Guastella

Yes, because the Kurds have never been abandoned by a US president before. I don’t think they’ll be jumping at the chance to be the vanguard of trump’s illegal war.

Crenshaw out, sure, okay, but Toth is even crazier and more right wing…

And yet the UK is able to evacuate their people? Methinks Rubio is full of shit. (He’s a slippery snake in the grass. Beware)

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints. One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

Rubio’s “Proactively act defensively”is right up there with Rumsfeld “known knowns…” nonsense.

Same

MSNow is such garbage. They definitely got the memo that this is a just and proper war cuz the people they’re bringing on are beating war drums and talking up our aggression as a good thing. Our news media sucks. Reminds me how Donahue was fired from MSNBC for criticizing the Iraq war. Get in line!

And killed young girls at school…

This. No need to be afraid. This evil is ephemeral. The mice, the bunnies, they will all be okay.

A few damages but this pop up looks great and fun to interact with.

Empire pop up book. Some wear and tear but it’s relatively intact.

This. This administration thinks toppling governments is easy, but maduro in custody did not change Venezuela, trump got his shakedown money for sure…Iran is built to absorb this. Nothing changes and trump takes his victory lap before he moves on rubio’s pet project, Cuba.

I’ve been thinking on this some time. Even as the admin burns bridges internationally, the American people fight for one another and the world is seeing and in support. We may be able to heal global wounds with allies if we can just get past this crowd of imbeciles.

One thing to consider to help our collective health is that the save act, if passed impacts maga as well which will probably turn them off rather than pushing them toward protest. Everything they do is bad, but it’s also poorly done so it splashes back. It’s nihilism in practice.

There is, I’m sure huge financial reasons pushing trump to war, but I’d argue that the christain nationalists/dominionists he’s surrounded himself with believe in revelations and think that war in the Middle East will bring about the return of their god. They have influence and trump sees $$$.

There is no amount of money in the world that would lead me to fight a Vietnamese refugee that grew up in Louisiana (Also I really want to try a Korean style Po’ Boy)

Still waiting for a film or tv comeback for this awesome cartoon.

I remember a movie several years back where Captain America had to stop this very thing.

The US men’s hockey team reaction to trump reminds me of the access Hollywood tape…it was just “locker room talk” excuse being applied quite literally and no desire to correct “locker room” behavior.

The IOC bans a Ukrainian athlete for their helmet honoring friends that have died in war because of the politics of it but then at the closing ceremonies have dancers wear the yellow and blue of Ukraine…and that’s not political!?! Make it make sense.

There are no words to describe the feelings that well up when I see the Olympic flame. We can be better—together.

Definitely worth clicking through.

My salmon cure is coming along swimmingly.

Two things that worry me…betting markets and Marco Rubio.

They said it. We’re all thinking it.

love our beautiful neighbor to the north. That said, this is hockey and it’s for Olympic gold, so take off ya hosers.

They were coming to help. How cynical and inhuman must you be to work for ICE/CBP!?!

Just gonna keep sharing this until the whole world has seen it. You wanna know what my politics are, then this video is for you. It sums everything up pretty well. Ceschi is the shit and a nice fellah.
