Please stop saying TACO. We’re talking about an ungodly number of people who could die or maimed. It’s not time for cutesy little internet slang. We have to get away from this bizarre desensitization.
The fact that this went out and Congress hasn’t immediately convened for an emergency session show just how much trouble we’re in.
We are seven months away from the most consequential midterm election in US history. Meanwhile, we are fighting a war. These are the structural conditions for a coup attempt in which a president tries to nullify elections and take permanent power as a dictator.

Protesters have been killed.
Service members have been killed.
The law is a suggestion.
The constitution is a memory.
We. Are. Not. Okay.
Traders placed about $580 million in oil bets roughly 15 minutes before Trump posted about “productive” Iran talks.
Around 6,200 Brent and WTI contracts were traded just before the announcement, after which oil prices fell sharply and stock markets jumped.
The real story… under any other president this would be jail time…
LOL. Israelis saying don't pay attention to Trump's tweets, he's just manipulating the commodities and stock markets for personal profit. And that's exactly what's going on.
This is amazing news! The people of Minneapolis and St. Paul are being recognized with one of the most prestigious civic honors in America. The JFK Library Foundation announced today that the people of the Twin Cities will receive a 2026 John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award for their resistance!
The End.
Iran, please wait in line until your number is called.
Oops
To save time, let me tell you what is going to happen: War will continue a few days or a couple weeks. Then, fearing domestic impact of rising gas prices, increasing regional chaos and not having a plan for what's next, Trump will cut a deal with whoever's in charge in Tehran.
How many people will die because some wealthy men wanted to have sex with underage girls?

Italy warns of soaring digital addiction in teens, as experts link it to family and education problems and say bans on social media alone are not enough.
What a momentous day for the British state. And what an iconic image to capture it
We are living through dark, disturbing and dangerous times, but do not despair — the cavalry is coming! Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band will be taking the stage this spring from Minneapolis to California to Texas to Washington, D.C. for the Land of Hope And Dreams American Tour.
You had to be there. It was a simpler, more innocent world.

It won’t. But it seems to not matter. They must have a “Plan”
You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.
Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.
He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

The Justice Dept. unit responsible for prosecuting potential wrongdoing by law enforcement — including during the crackdown in Minneapolis — has lost two-thirds of its prosecutors and is under orders to scale back its investigations of excessive force, people familiar with its work told Reuters.
Fair enough. But, in reality, the resistance will only succeed when govt policy is changed and that will rely on the Dems’ electoral success (and the courts).
I’m an Australian. I have been following US politics very closely since Obama. What I am seeing from the current resistance is a lot of frustrated rage and passionate words but no coordinated action. The Democrats don’t even have a leader.
When I hear People say “We will win” I immediately ask “Yeah. Great. How? Precisely.
With Bullet points.”
