This mayoral race in Marietta is giving me a stomach ache. Rooting for Sam Foster.

Who on his staff knows the word ignominious cuz I refuse to believe he does.

Jeff Bezos taking the "if you got it, flaunt it" thing a little too far.

This guy explains it fairly well although I think some of his assertions are up for interpretation. The comments are good to see some of the variety of opinions.

To muddy the waters further, there is a not insignificant number of Iranians who support Trump and believe that he can effectuate regime change.

And remember, it's not just Iran who can retaliate. Hezbollah, Hamas, all of Iran's proxies, can attack Americans throughout the middle east. And what side will Russia take? Iran has helped Russia with their invasion of Ukraine.

I am sick with worry. /End

That said, is our strategy for preventing a wider spread war in the middle east to hope that Iran is level-headed? Seriously? 5/

Now we hope that the mullahs will not escalate. Saving face is a big deal for them. But much like Trump's pretend tariff wins, they have a history of meh retaliation that they trump up at home. (Who knew "trump up" would be so on-the-nose?) 4/

Things are not black and white over there. I maintain Bibi played Trump like a fiddle. I believe Israel has a right to exist and a right to self defense. Israel's strikes on Iran didn't seem to be self-defense as we usually define it. And they forced Trump's hand which wasn't hard to do. 3/

But the US doesn't have a good track record with regime change. In 1953, our CIA overthrew the democratically elected govt in Iran, and re-installed the shah because he would play nice on oil prices. Until he didn't. Iranians believe we could have prevented the revolution and chose not to. 2/

As an American-born, half-Iranian woman who lived in Tehran for 3 years before the revolution, I am no stranger to feeling sick to my stomach about activities in Iran. I have always sided with the U.S. The Iranian people would love to overthrow the Islamic regime. 1/

My friend and neighbor, Janie, knew I had family visiting this weekend so she dropped off this beautiful arrangement she made and some chocolate chip muffins. She is so good at pouring love into her people.

ALEX KARP CEO OF PALANTIR: "They need to go to bed scared, they need to wake up scared... Safe means that the other person is scared."

This man is a complete psychopath...along with Peter Theil 🤬

Mike Lindell says he's broke. Do we believe that though? I've watched enough fintok to know if you park a couple mill in an index fund, you'll make money while you sleep! On your shitty MyPillow.

Brad Lander: "I'll keep coming back to court, week after week" YouTube video by Brad Lander for NYC

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process.

But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things.

That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

OMG I forgot it slides. I don't know if we even did that! 😂

Dude rushed back from the G7 so he could announce a flag pole installation at the White House. Ok, Ozymandias.

Israel-Iran is a bigger international crisis than any Trump faced in his first term.

And that administration had people with high level national security experience in some senior positions, while the current one does not, that’s true.

Trump Has Been Privately Trash Talking Gov. Walz In Response to Minnesota Assassinations President Donald Trump has been privately trashing Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, while refusing to call him after Minnesota political assassination.

It is objectively wild but also completely and totally expected and incredibly unsurprising that Trump’s primary response publicly and behind the scenes to the Minnesota political violence and killing has been for days just to effusively trash talk governor Walz www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Five hotels in ten days. Our son got really good at transport and packing up the car. Once again, EVs are easy! Thanks to Hyundai's free charging program, our energy cost was virtually zero (we only paid once for a charge). Just over 1500 miles!

New York City comptroller Brad Lander arrested at immigration court hearing Mayoral candidate was detained by Ice as he escorted an immigrant out of court, says his wife

From The Guardian:

"'You don‘t have the authority to arrest US citizens asking for a judicial warrant,' Lander can be heard saying. The officials then pinned Lander to a wall and put him in handcuffs."

This is some bullshit.

Can someone please ask Karoline Leavitt why the Director of White House Personnel refuses to say what country he is from and refuses to complete paperwork for a background check?

Can you also ask if “Sergio Gor” is the name on his birth certificate.

Seems kinda important.

It only took us 17 minutes to get to 100% at this stop in Manchester. The car charged faster than we were ready between getting snacks and bathroom break.

After Holiday World, we drove south to Bowling Green, Kentucky where our hotel had free chargers! We left this morning for our final leg back to Atlanta with 100% charge. We are now stopped in Manchester, TN for free charging at an Electrify America station! EVs are easy!

The chargers at Holiday World! Free free free, no app needed.

When is Trump signing the executive order to exempt his gold phones from tariffs? Cuz ain't no way they're being made here.

I mean, for some people, it's a pain to have to look on an app and find charging stations (and the apps are all clunky) but it's definitely possible and cheap to travel this way. I was a bit surprised that they had charging stations at Holiday World in nowhere, Indiana.

Road trip update: we're at Holiday World and they have free EV charging in the parking lot. The slow kind but since we'll be here for a few hours it will actually charge us up to 100%.
