The DOJ was created to increase the capacity for federal prosecutions during Reconstruction esp. those to be brought under the newly enacted KuKlux Klan Act.
Now the DOJ is being used to prosecute a storied civil rights organization whose central mission has been to expose & dismantle the Klan.
If it’s Tuesday… it’s TACO Day. Trump always chickens out.
“We have totally obliterated the uranium. But we are launching this illegal war because Iran is days away from launching a nuclear strike on the West with bombs made from that uranium.”
Trump not only “got” a photo-op with Kim Jong-un, in return he suspended US-South Korea military exercises—something North Korea and China long wanted—and started acting like the star employee of Kim’s PR team.
Diplomacy takes work to succeed. At least when it comes to advancing national interest.

The Ideology of #Palantir
BREAKING: Trump has signed an executive order invoking the Defense Production Act amid rising energy prices.
The order directs federal resources toward boosting production of petroleum, liquefied natural gas, coal, and power grid infrastructure.
TRUMP: "The Strait of Hormuz is open and safe, thanks to the powerful and mighty US Navy."
***Marine Traffic Radio
IRAN TO VESSELS TRYING TO ENTER THE STRAIT: "We don't open the Strait because of some tweets by an idiot."
lol.
This is around Bush 2006 numbers and lower than Obama 2014 numbers.
Both times the president’s party got crushed by the “six year itch”.
US military seized Iranian-flagged container ship, Trump says #TheGuardian
We won.
Tesla Chicago is closed.
Their new location is in a ghost town. They sacrificed visibility to thousands/day--& proximity to the other luxury car dealerships--to get away from us, because we'd turned their brand ambassador location into a liability.
Organizing works.

THREAD 🧵 OF STUPIDITY
1/ Feb 28, 2026 — Trump announces “major combat operations” against Iran in s joint US-Israeli strike! Khamenei killed on day one.
Mid-March — Iran closes/disrupts the Strait of Hormuz in response. Oil prices spike.
Trump: Today, an Iranian-flagged cargo ship named TOUSKA, nearly 900 feet long and weighing almost as much as an aircraft carrier, tried to get past our Naval Blockade, and it did not go well for them. The U.S. Navy Guided Missile Destroyer USS SPRUANCE intercepted the TOUSKA in the Gulf of Oman, and gave them fair warning to stop. The Iranian crew refused to listen, so our Navy ship stopped them right in their tracks by blowing a hole in the engineroom. Right now, U.S. Marines have custody of the vessel. The TOUSKA is under U.S. Treasury Sanctions because of their prior history of illegal activity. We have full custody of the ship, and are seeing what's on board! President DONALD J.

Another Middle East war would be a mistake… #Iran

“…The Iranian crew refused to listen, so our Navy ship stopped them right in their tracks by blowing a hole in the engineroom,” he wrote on Truth Social.
Trump just launched another attack against #Iran, the United States is the pariah of the world as I’ve previously written… nicksones.substack.com/p/the-pariah...
“Öztürk's return to Turkey ends any further [immigration] proceedings, the ACLU said. The agreement [with the Trump administration] also acknowledges that Öztürk was in lawful status the whole time she was in the United States.”
The guy who built an entire campaign on revenge and retribution is somehow not angry and constantly framing himself as the victim. Weird, right??!!
