Weird, Iran was at the negotiations table *before* Trump illegally blockaded them, and the blockade actually drove them away from negotiations. Some of us predicted this, but not all of us!

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.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

BREAKING: Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian says every rational and diplomatic path should be used to reduce tensions with the US, while stressing that vigilance in interactions with Washington is an “undeniable necessity,” according to state-run IRNA news agency.

Hungary's prime minister elect announcing that Orbán was funding CPAC and other Trump-related political activities (also Heritage Foundation's Project 2025), and this will now end.

Trump Rages at Pope Leo, JD Vance Fumbles Iran Deal & Hungary Ousts Viktor Orban youtu.be/g6k55WQ5GAk

JD Vance has admitted that Trump's latest plan represents an act of economic terrorism against the world, saying the quiet part out loud By @willem-moore.bsky.social

"We encountered maximalism, shifting goalposts, and blockade. Zero lessons earned," said Iran's foreign minister.

It's always been this way.

From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.

even the most tenacious autocrats have a difficult time denying a landslide result against them

Congratulations to the people of Hungary, who have done so much good not only for their country, but for Europe and the world today.

Good riddance to that authoritarian piece of shit.

Orban, Bolsonaro, Trump, and all the rest of these goons want you to believe they are inevitable and, once in power, invincible. They are not.

It's not just that Orbán losing inspires hope in other competitive-autocratic countries ruled by right-wing nationalist authoritarians. It's that his loss materially changes things in those other countries, because he's been operating as a headquarters and funding source...

Iran has said the US made excessive demands and unlawful requests during negotiations. Trump now wants to blockade the strait himself

this is why there’s been mass revolt and opposition to data centers being built in communities. it is genuinely a health hazard to live this close to something emitting this much sound. these need to stop being built

I think it is clear that one aspect of the US mismanagement of the war and now the negotiations is simply racism. They can't understand the way that they were outmaneuvered. And they can't accept it.

By the dozens, Democrats came out to say that Trump should no longer serve in the White House, either through the impeachment process or the 25th Amendment, which allows the vice president and the Cabinet to declare that a president is no longer able to perform the job. https://to.pbs.org/4t3sbzv

Trump’s reckless flexes may have been nothing more than bluffing, but sophisticated dealmakers know that undeliverable threats backfire when your bluff is called

Meanwhile, the international press is using Israel’s fake language & euphemisms. These are all headlines from the international media. It’s not a ground operation’ or a ‘security buffer zone’. It’s an INVASION. These are war crimes. 2/

The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office. The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.

Mamdani is not just filling the potholes with the crew. He's creating a visual and personal reminder of the dignity inherent in all of these anonymous government jobs.

When you throw in the towel after a campaign loss or failure, you lose momentum for your cause. Remember, you're never building your own thing. You're building a means for others to move forward. You're part of things, not the culmination of them.

Iran knows what many leaders have still failed to learn about Trump or Putin. You don't cave to a bully, you punch them in the nose. If you keep giving them what they demand, they'll keep demanding more, but they're lost when someone stands up to them. Iran has the cards now, and Trump has no plan.

You may have missed some of Trump's 20+ wars, covert ops, armed interventions, and proxy wars. We're keeping track...
