I love how AOC goes to bat for us. America needs her in higher office.

“To say that President Trump is corrupt is to somehow understate the size, scope and magnitude of his corruption.
It is as if you were to describe a modern thermonuclear device as a ‘bomb.’ That is true enough, but it is not quite the truth. It does not capture the nature of the thing in full.”
Seems like NYT should have mentioned that UAE's spymaster bought 49% of Trump's World Liberty Financial and used $2B of its USD1 stablecoin, directing hundreds of millions to Trump.

And then he said: “If you don’t open the Strait of Hormuz, an entire civilization will die tonight.”
So they opened it.
Then he blockaded it.

Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars
The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.

Back to the simple natural order of things…….. not human arrogance based on destruction of our water,air, environment for profit…… for the 1%

One thing about Kash Patel eventually being fired is there’s no way to imagine what his face will look like upon hearing the news.
An Ampex VR-1000 in 1960. Photo from Eyes of a Generation on Facebook.
The first professional videotape recorder was introduced 70 years ago today.
The Ampex VR-1000 was demo’ed at the NAB Convention in Chicago on 4/14/56.
It sold for $45,000 ($550,000 today) and orders came so fast, the sales staff was writing them on "cocktail napkins.” #TVSky #Tech #PhysicalMedia
Heartbreaking description of the pointless, thoughtless damage being done to the Kennedy Center. It was such an important part of life in Washington, and is now being destroyed for no reason

Truly remarkable how many people have told the Pope, in some way or another, to "shut up and dribble." Or corrected him on the Bible, despite their thin education on theology. Or told him to stay out of US affairs, despite him being a US citizen. The hubris is amazing.
Dear god. Very, very serious allegations of mass civil rights violations at the State of Florida's Everglades immigration detention center (officially known as "Alligator Alcatraz").
Translation to lazy American media: “don’t both sides this; this is not a feud between rivals; he’s not on my level and treating his bullshit like it is on my level is to embrace and dignify his bullshit.”
