The #WhiteHouse tried to sell the Iran attack like a video game, literally, a killstreak-style montage, while a Dubai establishment billionaire (Habtoor) fired back: “Who gave you permission to turn our region into a battlefield?” #uspolitics #kakistocracy

A federal judge just nuked Trump’s indictments of James Comey and Letitia James, not on the facts, but because the “prosecutor” Trump sent in was never legally a U.S. Attorney at all.
It’s peak #kakistocracy #uspolitics #authoritarianism

Ozymandias BY PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.
From now on, the Epstein files should be in the last sentence of every post, essay, report, poem, etc. No matter the topic.
Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The hidden Epstein files stretch far away.
I needed a break from the news today, I read something much less chaotic and crazy. A book called, “Carrie” by Stephen King
I thought I had shared the video but it’s not showing up. 🤷🏻♀️ still learning how to post.
Cool interaction with an owl last night. I had stepped outside to capture the smile in the sky 🌙 when I heard an owl.
Cory Booker pulled a Jimmy Stewart and wiped a segregationist old man out of the record books, and Wisconsin told Elon to fuck all the way off with his vote bribes, it’s a good end to a horrible week (I know it’s only Tuesday) goodnight
The last day on which a majority of the Supreme Court’s justices had been appointed by Democratic presidents was May 14, 1969.
One of the things we do in the legal academy is support our claims with facts.

This is all he's good at.. destroying everything that is good.
“The 5 bullets email was the administration’s declaration of psychological warfare: Petty on its face and lacking sufficient instructions, its one and only purpose was to scare the shit out of workers already living in peril.”
This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.
Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.
WEIMAR+STATEMENT FRANCE, GERMANY, POLAND, ITALY, SPAIN, UNITED KINGDOM EU HIGH REPRESENTATIVE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND SECURITY POLICY We are ready to enhance our support for Ukraine. We commit to its independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of Russia's war of aggression. We share the goal to keep supporting Ukraine until a just, comprehensive and lasting peace is reached. A peace that guarantees the interest of Ukraine and our own. We are looking forward to discussing the way ahead together with our American allies. Our shared objectives should be to put Ukraine in a position of strength. Ukraine and Europe must be part of any negotiations. Ukraine should be provided with strong security guarantees. A just and lasting peace in Ukraine is a necessary condition for a strong transatlantic security. We recall that the security of the European continent is our common responsibility. We are therefore working together to strengthen our collective defense capabilities.
BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks.
This is leadership.
It’s also unprecedented.
A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.
Donald Trump’s press conference today was one of the most disgraceful moments in U.S. history, signaling a complete surrender to Vladimir Putin.
The CEO of Ford, Jim Farley, is warning of layoffs due to Trump’s policies. Assembly plants likely to be hit: OHIO/MICHIGAN/KENTUCKY/TENNESSEE
“President Trump has talked a lot about making our U.S. auto industry stronger… So far what we’re seeing is a lot of cost and a lot of chaos”
When North Korea thinks you’ve gone too far with crazy shit.
Hey Dems,
Imagine just how much the GOP would be freaking the fuck out if Obama or Biden had allowed Soros access to all treasury payment and taxpayer data. Because they’d be right to freak the fuck out.
So, freak the fuck out. Now would be good.
XOXO

A reminder: in the past, when a singer's mic cut out during the U.S. National Anthem at a hockey game in Canada, the entire arena stepped in, singing every single word of the Star Spangled Banner together.
Tonight, thanks to Trump, Canada is booing during the National Anthem.
