The hope is that MBS isn’t happy with this ceasefire and Jarred gets fed to the woodchipper

The funniest outcome is the most likely (Elon voice)

I think Iran wants that to help legitimize its position as gatekeeper since Oman is the other side of the gate. As a neutral state Oman also gives the arrangement more cover as a legitimate arrangement like Egypt’s role wrt to the Suez canal.

The Next Coup Attempt And How to Stop It

Orbán's false flag should remind us that other people in similar situations (I mean Trump) will have similar thoughts. See my essay from yesterday on "The Next Coup Attempt." (2/2)

Trump: my pumps didn’t work but leaking that I’m ready to abandon my Arab allies and hand the global economy to Iran is working?

He lies through his teeth. He changes his mind continuously. He acts on whim. He’s driven by vengeance, hate and money. He wants more power for no good but only to feed his insatiable broken ego that never gets enough. Woe to everything you may love. Giving up or giving in are not options.

It’s that lack of accountability that allows demons like Trump to reach power.

OF COURSE Iran is fighting back!

OF COURSE the conflict is spreading!

What did they think would happen?

The US is being run by half-wits…

Tell Congress: Demand AG Bondi release ALL of the Epstein files now Contact Congress today!

The Epstein cover-up is starting to crack, but Pam Bondi is still stonewalling. This is the biggest scandal in modern history, and it's being buried.

Congress: Do your job. Demand the full release NOW.

Who's with us? Tell your reps:

HAYES: “Trump’s war with Iran is illegal, reckless, and wrong. We’re only on Day 3 and it is already an indelible stain on this country.”

The glibness. The indifference. The carelessness. The utter lack of planning for a war against a country of 90M. The sickness of a man who acts on whim that will kill thousands not hundreds. The horror of a regime that enables this sickness. The broken body politic that votes in such malignancy.

Hiding the needle marks on his legs?

This is murder. Murdering children. Absolute evil

Every single time a story like this is reported, we must assume that there are many many more that do not.

Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Bilbo looking at his phone top on bottom is ChatGPT After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it? You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

It was in that headspace that a Utah lawmaker, Senator Todd Weiler, responded to public concern about ICE activity with this sentence: "I'm pretty sure heaven has an immigration policy."

And I’m pretty sure that, when the moment comes, it will be the first time you truly need to worry about that type of policy, Senator

I am dismayed that his approval ratings are this high. It says so much about many of our fellow Americans. Telling you to wear a mask is tyranny. Dragging you out of your car without probable cause and beating you up or shooting you in the head? Just cooperate. God help America!

At least nazi’s said please.

Did you vote for a “Show Me Your Papers” society?

It’s the kkk without the pointy hats.

Elon Musk ‘alleging he was “assiduously manipulated” and “deceived”’ has to be one of the greatest ironies of all time.

The US military continues to obey clearly illegal orders from this criminal administration, committing murder on the high seas at Trump’s command. More than 100 people murdered now.

There should be much more outrage at this White House crime spree.

Is that right? I thought the method of election is up to each state and the states decided to move to general election.

When? Just a gentle reminder that the last time a great democratic system failed—the fall of the Roman republic—it took about 1776 years for democracy to return.

Fuck these idiots. They’ll never learn. They’re like victims of spousal abuse who keep going back for more abuse. Absolute scumbag bc he wants the money.

Trump and MAGA have energized the left and if the oligarchs who backed him think it was a good idea to challenge restraints on govt overreach they’re going to be surprised what those powers can be used for in the hands of a real populist. GOP made a huge mistake in trying to channel these forces.

Yeah but according to Megyn Kelly he started all this by introducing race into political discourse. I assume she means by being bi-racial, since I don’t recall him ever discussing race.
