We invaded Venezuela, kidnapped their leader and installed a puppet, and are now pillaging the country's resources just like the fascists in the 1930s did, and somehow this has already been normalized and isn't being treated as the crime it is

The US is certainly losing the propaganda war.

The global food system is systemically fragile in the same way that the global financial system was before the 2008 crash. If it goes it down, we’re looking, as complex societies, at a potential termination event. This week's column. Please read it. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Iran’s really painting the landscape of Israel this morning. So far as I can tell, these are four different hits in reply to last night’s bombing of Iranian civilian infrastructure. Not sure what the status of Israel’s missile defense is these days.

"Now more than ever it is clear that freeing Palestine means freeing the world."

Durbin reads Trump's deranged Truth Social post dancing on Robert Mueller's grave and says, "those reprehensible words should be condemned by every member of the committee from both sides of the aisle. Unfortunately, under Republican leadership, this committee has been complicit."

This feels like the 'war on terror', really, only was about it being a war on something else.

Petrolheads are seen as just another group of hobbyists. In truth, they're a danger to society. The accidents they cause, the pollution and noise are just part of it. There's also an associated politics: toxic, selfish, macho, climate-denying, often far-right. For their "fun", everyone suffers.

Big mistakes are being made.

ICE has, predictably, become Trump's all purpose internal intimidation force. As I discussed last summer, when the GOP funded this massive Praetorian Thug Guard, Americans can't accept it.

ICE is filling in for TSA so we’re all about to walk past piles of empty shoes and pretend we don’t see them.

Comparing the Democrats to a country he’s bombing. This is authoritarian demagoguery. If a Republican doesn’t denounce this, s/he is enabling it.

But these folks told us that empathy is a sin

Just like the last illegal US forever war in Iraq, based on the false claim of WMDs, the same gaslighting is being used in this war about nuclear weapons in Iran. Wars are built on lies and what the world desperately needs is truth and peace.

Let’s not forget his equally disgusting post about Rob Reiner just three months ago

Trump's oil blockade in Cuba has caused a worsening humanitarian crisis—cutting Cubans off from power, food, health care & clean water.  I am heartened by the solidarity & bravery of the courageous people on the Nuestra América Convoy, arriving in Cuba to bring critical aid directly to the people.

Trump: “Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

The dinosaurs are dying out.

Whoa whoa whoa. WSJ reports that Trump *personally* pushed the Justice Department to settle its antitrust case with Live Nation. Several sources for my NYT column speculated this was the case. The Journal says it's a fact. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Enjoy the World Cup, visitors from around the world. I hope you don’t end up in El Salvador.

Because the president of the United States is the dumbest motherfucker on the planet. It's just that simple.

> Spent more than 22 billion dollars > Got +$2 billion in US military equipment destroyed > Disrupted the entire worldwide oil market > Replaced Khamenei with a worse version of Khamanei Congratz US!

The Pentagon is to adopt Palantir’s Maven AI as a core US military system and will provide long-term funding, Reuters reports.

HANNITY: “I left NYC because I would walk into restaurants and see disdain and disgust on people’s faces just because I was in the room.”

Bill Maher sides with Trump against Joe Kent, who resigned over the war, because he says it’s “antisemitism” to point to Israel’s role in pushing us to war with Iran — which Netanyahu has been openly doing for decades.

SOUTHCOM attacked another boat in the Pacific Ocean. Two civilians were killed. One was rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Bertholf and transferred to the Costa Rican Coast Guard. theintercept.com/2025/11/17/t...

New reports reveal Trump's friend Paolo Zampolli, who appears several times in the Epstein Files, asked a top ICE official to detain his ex-wife and mother of his kids. ICE did as Zampolli asked, and she was ultimately deported.

POV: JD Vance is your sleep paralysis demon

"...late poet Refaat Alareer... held Weiss responsible for the massive online harassment he faced and warned of its potentially deadly consequences. Tragically, Alareer was later targeted and killed by Israeli forces in a precision attack."

In November 1967, even as US soldiers were dying, Lyndon Johnson flew General William Westmoreland home from Vietnam to reassure everyone the war was going well. Westmoreland said the U.S. was winning and “the end was in view”. The war continued for 5 more years & another 42,000 US soldiers died.

Chuck Norris is dead. He was really shitty but Conan playing this clip from Walker Texas Ranger lives rent free in my head forever tbh so there's that.

Ted Cruz, March 10: "I don’t think there’s any possibility that this becomes a long, protracted military engagement." Wall Street Journal, March 20: “The Pentagon is sending three warships and thousands of additional Marines to the Middle East ... according to U.S. officials.”

The Pentagon is cooking up some creative strategies to open the Strait of Hormuz

Keep the homeland safe from the Epstein Files.

This Eid, shelters in #Gaza are overcrowded. Food and water are scarce. Fuel is rationed. Medicine is running out. Families need urgent support. With your help, UNRWA continues serving #Palestine Refugees in desperate times. Give today: 🔗 Link in bio

That wouldn’t be the platform where he dumped his Nazi videos, would it?

For many years, the US government persuaded most of its own citizens - and many others - that its intentions and behaviour were benign, despite the perpetual wars, coups, murders, resource grabs, the ecocide and neocolonialism. If Trump has done one thing for us, it is to rip the mask away.

Eid Mubarak! My heart is especially with the people of Iran and Lebanon on this Eid, and all suffering peoples.
