Remember when Trump threatened to wipe out a whole civilization? And then backed out of that and talked about forming a deal with Iran? And then dropped that and went to a UFC fight as negotiations fell apart? And then unveiled a triumphal arch and a photo of himself as Jesus?
That was this week.

Your reminder that both the U.S. and Israel are being run by criminals trying to stay out of prison.
Imagine trusting science to bring astronauts to the moon and back but not trusting science to develop safe vaccines.
So...Netanyahu approached 3 other US Presidents to attack Iran and they all said no.
So to recap, Trump:
- Started a war for no reason on the belief that Iran would surrender immediately
- Killed thousands including over 100 elementary schoolgirls
- Threatened genocide up to and including nuclear war
- Then backed down in exchange for a worse position than the US had before

"The common sense of mankind demands that law shall not stop with the punishment of petty crimes... It must also reach men who possess themselves of great power and make deliberate and concerted use of it to set in motion evils which leave no home in the world untouched." —Robert Jackson, Nuremberg
How did you measure it?

The blue wave in November will be irresistible if the Trumpists *don’t* stage a false flag terror attack.
And if the Democrats take both houses, a bunch of Republicans are going to jail. The Republicans know it.
Therefore we must assume that Trump will follow Orban and Putin’s lead.
God I love this!
I dream of the luxury of being despondent in this world

the U.S. is basically aligning itself as the last big petrostate. And will go down with the fossil fuel ship; and China is aligning itself as the first electrostate. It is rapidly electrifying its economy, dominating the technology, supply chains, world markets, everything

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all
Dems need to be on every news channel saying this. Everyday. All day.

Airport lines are long for ONE reason:
Republicans are demanding federal funding for TSA be tethered to funding for ICE. That’s it.
Forcing Democrats to choose between more brutality and murder in the streets or lines at the airport.
I’m ok waiting in line to keep our streets safe from ICE.
Now THIS is what Presidential responses look like.
Spread this dear ones:
"Bernie Sanders is suggesting the Epstein files be read during the filibuster on the SAVE Act this week.
Let's get this to TREND!
Answered that for you
That’s genius.
1/2. He took the greatest military force in history, lost a war to a middle power in a week, begged the world to save him, & demanded the media lie about this & everything else. I try, but at a simple human level I do not see how anyone mistakes this man’s almost supernatural weakness for strength.
