Trump has portrayed Iranian leaders as religious extremists and “crazy bastards.” Here’s his White House faith advisor Paula White leading a mass exorcism. 😳😬👇

Folks are finally waking up to a long-standing fact: Republicans are terrible at handling the economy – and Trump is the worst of them all.

Turns out, Reuters may not be such a reliable news source. They have an ongoing business relationship with an organization that engages in kidnapping and detention conditions that amount to torture.

If Iran’s leaders listen to this, they’ll likely infer he is bullshitting.

Netanyahu claimed last week that Magyar invited him to Hungary.

Today Magyar said that Netanyahu will be arrested if he enters Hungary:

“I made it clear to the Israeli PM — we will not back down... If a state is an ICC member and a person who is wanted enters that territory, they must be detained”

The Iran crisis has not yet peaked The war is currently more likely to escalate than to be resolved by negotiation

Gideon Rachman: Don't fall for the White House hype. The progenitors of the Iran War are now in the escalation trap, with no viable off ramp. This war is likely to continue for many months, with outcomes that are steadily worse for Trump. www.ft.com/content/8456...

The Trump/Antichrist/Epstein administration is thoroughly saturated with corruption

‘How much have we missed?’: book tunes in to overlooked world of female birdsong Authors set out to correct under-representation of female sounds – and found some surprising revelations

The songs, sounds & sights of female birds have historically been overlooked in field guides & sound archives.

But a new book – The Sound Approach to Birding 2 – aims to correct this under-representation & properly explain female birdsong.

No pay wall.

Mamdani: "What are we fighting for?. When you look back at the history books of our party, 100 years ago we had a very clear vision of what we were fighting for. It's sad that for too many Americans, when they want to look for ambition in the Democratic Party, then have to turn to a history book."

gato fumador • @KweenInYellow X.com "Of course we say it's our land, the Torah says it. But [the Palestinians] don't believe in the Torah. So, that's the reason there is not peace." Saying stuff like this out loud should be disqualifying. AIPAC

Mel Y @Villgecrazylady X.com "There's no peace in the Middle East bc Palestinians refuse to believe in the Torah. The Torah says it's our [Jews] land. And that's why America must always stand with Israel." Wow. He just came right out and said it. AIPAC AIPAC

The post on Bluesky

Also, I want to explain how this happens:

1. Someone posts the video on Twitter last month.
2. Someone shares that video on Twitter with a new/fake quote yesterday
3. Someone copies the Twitter post word for word and shares it on Bluesky

Now, let me tell you why - my view, why we don't have peace. Because the fact of the matter is that too many Palestinians and too many Arabs do not want any Jewish state in the Middle East. The view of Palestinians is simple, the Europeans treated the Jews badly culminating in the Holocaust and they gave them our land as compensation. Of course, we say it's our land, the Torah says it, but they don't believe in the Torah. So that's the reason there is not peace. They invent other reasons, but they do not believe in a Jewish state and that is why we, in America, must stand strong with Israel through thick and thin. We must, because that is the reason, not any of these other false shibboleths why there is not peace in the Middle East.

Here's what Schumer actually says in that video that's going around. Again, it's bad enough as is without inventing quotes. web.archive.org/web/20190319...

*sigh*

1. That's not a direct quote. If you're going to put something in quotation marks and then go, "Wow. He just came right out and said it," it should be a direct quote.

2. This speech is from 2018. Don't present it as new/recent.

3. The actual content of the speech is bad enough.

Donald Trump is killing real schoolgirls in Iran and kidnapping and murdering real Americans in the streets. Interesting that the only thing he’s done that went “too far” for MAGA was an *imaginary* image. What a ridiculous world we live in.

a screenshot of the "New Bestsellers" list from Substack, with Andrew Tate in the #1 position

Hey, look at Substack promoting Andrew Tate as the #1 new bestseller. The company's amoral leadership & backers will platform anyone, even ludicrously toxic rapists & human traffickers.

Any human being on the entire planet knows that the President of the United States is lying. Anybody who voted for him because “he tells it like it is“ was conned, and needs to apologize to the entire world he is trying so hard to fuck up.

Thanks for maximally exposing yourself, Donald.

ORBAN LOST
thanks, JD and Donald!

Buttigieg: "For the leader of this country to make a nakedly genocidal threat against another civilization as if the US was a death star that was going around blowing up civilizations, of course that is a new low ... the whole country is being judged just for tolerating that kind of thing at the WH"

We all pay a huge price for the stupid votes of half of us.

PERFECT

Here’s Trump when he saw Melania’s video demanding that Congress hold hearings for the Epstein survivors to share their stories.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "It's absolute madness. How can any person that is mentally stable call for an entire civilization of people to be murdered? That's what the president called for. That shows there's serious instability in his thinking. This should never be tolerated."
