Sunset & view of Catalina mountains in Tucson, AZ.

Tucson, last night’s sunset.

Whew!

Hillary Clinton this morning on the US-Iran talks that fell apart:

“This is hard, disciplined effort that has to go into diplomacy to reach any results. And I don’t see this administration either wanting to do it or, frankly, being capable of doing it…”

"I'm just contemplating the fact that one moron, one psychotic moron, one capricious idiot, has completely bollocksed up the global economy not only to the detriment of his own people, but the detriment of the planet. ... It's like how much more of this can the planet take?"

Busted

Spill ALL the Tea! ☕️

They’re never going to stop trolling.

maybe the Iranians didn't say thank you enough. Did they wear suits?

If Melania *really* thought people were lying about her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, she would have sued them for defamation to clear her name under oath, not deliver a lame speech full of lies for television.”

Wanted to share my interview of @gtconway.bsky.social from Thursday that now has more than one million views! The most of any interview I've ever posted. We talked George's run for Congress, need to remove Trump and Melania's bizarre press conference

I don’t think a lot folks understand how massive Péter Magyar’s election was today in Hungary over Viktor Orbán.

It was a massive 33% swing in votes. That’s insane. That would be like a Democratic supermajority being created in Congress overnight.

Holy shit.

Except 13 dead American soldiers.

It’s Not a TACO. It’s a Surrender. Iran 1, Trump 0

"I’m old enough to remember when President Trump assured us, 'There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!'" You are too, if you're more than a month old.

Donald Trump has done more damage to the United States of America than any foreign enemy accomplished in our nation’s 250-year history.

ZELENSKYY: I want American people to understand: we are your allies in Europe. World has no distance anymore — when drones already strike thousands of kilometers.

One, two, three years — drones will strike ten, twenty thousand kilometers. With reactive engines, they will be very cheap.

The fact remains that yesterday, Donald Trump threatened genocide. His party did nothing to push back. A two-week delay doesn't change either of those things.

The Moon! The Sun's corona! A crewed spacecraft! Oh my!

HOLY SHIT

Congratulation to Astronaut Christina Koch to be the first woman in history to get that far away from dangerous sexual predator Donald Trump.

“Trump has lost this war. The only question now is how bigly he loses it.”

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.

We’ll see. He’s 90% talk and bluster. Tillis likes to talk tough but he’s all bark and no bite. I know, he’s my Senator.

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

After Renee Good, hemorrhaging blood, crashed her car, a man from the neighborhood approached and said, "Let me take vitals and help. I'm a physician."

According to a witness, ICE responded, "We don't care. Stay back." And they blocked him.

These people are stone-cold monsters.

#UkrainianView

AOC: What we saw today was a horrific act of violence. What we have seen and are now seeing is that ICE has not just become an anti-immigrant force—it is becoming an anti-civilian, paramilitary organization. People are being taken off the streets for exercising their free speech rights.

DO IT ALREADY!

Madness

"Normally, one would think a more-of-the-same scenario the most likely of all, but I’m doubtful. The present balance of power in both the nation and the world seems precarious. I think it more likely than not that things break in one direction or another." lnk.thebulwark.com/4jod27U
