Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE! The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East. We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate. Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated. On behalf of the United States of America, as President, and also representing the Countries of the Middle East, it is an Honor to have this Longterm problem close to resolution. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP 2.22k ReTruths 7.7k Likes Apr 07, 2026, 6:32 PM

Trump announces he is "agreeing to suspend bombing and attack of Iran" in a ceasefire.

No nuclear war tonight at least.

NEW: We just joined more than 200 organizations condemning President Trump’s dangerous threats to commit war crimes and grave atrocities in Iran.

Our leaders must follow the Constitution and international law and urgently act to stop any targeting of civilians by this administration.

Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together.

I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.

The cover of the graphic novel, a colored illustration by Daun Han depicting King in the foreground, Luz and Harpy Eda behind him, and the other cast of characters framing them including Willow, Hunter, Gus, Papa Titan, the Collector, and Amity.

We've been looking forward to sharing this news for a long time. We're making a graphic novel!

We're so excited to tell a brand new story.

This fucking court won’t let ANYTHING self-identify

Rep. Becca Balint's grandfather died in the Nazis' Mauthausen concentration camp.
Pam Bondi just suggested Balint was antisemitic.

"They're all a bunch of sick fucks"

I wish people would stop counting "lab grown" in with "fake." It's the same molecules it just wasn't pulled out of the earth with slavery and blood. Idk about you, but I'd rather actually NOT have causing human suffering and pain be an intrinsic part of my spiritual practice.

*John Green's book rather. (Oops, wrong vlogbrother.)

Now I'm wondering how well @randomhorror9.bsky.social would work for those of us less inclined... 😅 (I think you'd like the podcast though. Two folks breaking down what happened in various classic horror movies for fans ...and people who wish they were but aren't but still wanna know what happens.)

Tbh someone should send them all a copy of Hank Green's book on Tb but this is..... ahhhhhhhhh... as someone with asthma who just got whooping cough twice from all the antivax kids in my area and nearly re-broke previously broken ribs I'm... so done.

Meanwhile some in Kansas want to make it so you can press a civil suit if quarantined for tuberculosis specifically, and make it basically impossible to order a quarantine at all at state & local levels after Covid. It's caught in committees but it's scary it's even that far.
