Trump’s war has backfired spectacularly: Iran is now more influential than ever | Fawaz Gerges Tehran has shown that its grip over the strait of Hormuz is its most potent deterrent – arguably more consequential than its now defunct nuclear programme, says Fawaz Gerges of the LSE

Trump says Iran is losing $500,000,000 a day because of his mighty blockade that costs YOU more than $2,000,000,000 a day.

🚨Trump's Republicans Just Pulled A NASTY NEW STUNT-BIG MISTAKE YouTube video by Occupy Democrats

Republicans passed a late-night bill funding ICE using reconciliation.

A voter ID amendment failed, and Democrats’ cost-cutting proposals were rejected.

Texas Republican Would Like Democrats To Stop Doing The Thing His Party Started Oh no, it's the consequences of your actions.

Huh. Imagine that.

Any state Attorneys General who have credible cases against Ghislaine Maxwell need to immediately seek indictments and generate arrest warrants as Trump is preparing to pardon her.

Once she's in the wind, she's gone. Looming warrants and charges will thwart this perversion of justice!

Doctor Odyssey...cancelled far too soon and before Ryan Murphy could get real freaky with it...has an MC who takes a job in the cruise industry hoping for luxury and leisure after recovering from a first wave COVID where he spent weeks on a ventilator.

The docudrama about healthcare workers in the trenches of all that death & misery hasn't been made but there's been ample art about how people coped and/or disassociated. The Glass Onion is one big homage to The Masque of Red Death.

Really feel you could get some of the Oceans guys in on this at least as EPs. Clooney, Pitt, Damon etc bsky.app/profile/zedd...

personally what I want is a plucky Kelly's Heroes/MASH type movie about hospitals, cops and national guardsmen taking steps to hide COVID tests and PPE from Trump, whose strategy forced states to overpay for supplies only to have them seized by the Feds and shipped to swing states.

More than 125 moving violations per year, you'd think he'd lose his driver's license.

People are calling it techno-fascism, I'd say with a heaping scoop of nerd-fascism.

I mean, the company is named after the lord of the rings magic seeing stones (crystal balls) used by the series big-bad.

It means the corporate line is to support the principles that made them rich and grind the boot heel on people they dislike.

That he would be happy to be nationalized during a defense crisis?

Probably not.

Can't bring myself to deep dive into this cesspool but the limited bits I've seen so far are truly vile.

He has a $3 million house in West Hollywood so this headline is best understood as 'I'm part of the club now and can do what I want' which incidentally is the image Trump projects to his fanbase.

Turn it into a camper.

We need to talk about this. The prima facie case for unfettered, reactionary MAGA bigotry is obvious. But the virulently “anti-woke” fascist slop it produces isn’t just the regressive outcry of stunted racists. It’s a flexible, strategy with a weaponized psychology. We miss that at our peril. 1/
