How much is Trump's war on Iran costing us In 6 days, it's cost over $11 billion. @k8brannen.bsky.social on the out of control military spending, which will add to our out of control debt.

Gas prices are up 20% since last week. When will they come back down? And what happens if they don’t? My latest for Businessweek @bloomberg.com 🎁 🔗 in bio #iran #oilprices #gasprices
Of the two Trump cabinet members that the Democrats were after, Kristi Noem, a woman, was easier to throw under the bus. Howard Lutnik, implicated in the Epstein files, should go too. But men don’t pay a price for abusing women.
Trying to make sense of the US war on Iran? I’ve pulled together the biggest q's—how it widens...how it ends. Also, ahead of #IWD: Iran’s women have been the clearest signal of the regime’s brutality—and the surest clue to what real change would take. open.substack.com/pub/interrup...
The war in Iran is going badly, so Trump is changing the subject:
Love all the anti-war commentary, but why is it being had among men? Women not only have been pushing this for decades but working on it. If you want to fix US foreign policy, include women.
Wait til gas prices go up.
Yanar Mohammed's "assassination is therefore not an isolated act of violence, but, as MADRE points out in a remembrance, a stark reminder of how human rights defenders, particularly feminist leaders, remain vulnerable to violence."
May she rest in power.
Remembering Yanar Mohammed—because mainstream media has failed to. She was a human and women's rights defender, gunned down in Baghdad. She deserves to be honored. And we deserve a media with a wider lens. open.substack.com/pub/interrup...

In January, we launched TrumpCensorship.com, where we track the 200+ instances of Trump administration censorship.
Academic research has been particularly hard hit, as I'll discuss w/ @defendresearch.bsky.social in a webinar next week.

We lost my mom in 2022. The invasion of Ukraine is one of the last political political topics she engaged with. She used to shake her head at the reports, saying, "why do people do this to children?" I think about this every time this anniversary comes around.
4) For Ukrainians, the past four years has been lived in funerals, departures, blackouts, and basic survival. For them, the measure is simpler: to remain standing. Four years on, endurance in the face of what was meant to break them is its own kind of victory.
3) For those of us on the outside, Russia’s war on Ukraine has unfolded in casualty numbers, territorial percentages, battlefield maps, and negotiations. We debate who is gaining ground and who is losing it. We speculate about endgames.
2) When I lived in Bosnia in the early aughts, someone once told me there are always two sides to a war: those living inside it, and those watching from the outside. The distance between those two experiences is vast.
Trump is doubling down on #tariffs, even though #SCOTUS struck them down. What does all of this mean for consumers and small biz? @svaneksmith.bsky.social is on it @bloomberg.com podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...
A special shout out to NYC bus drivers and postal workers, who don’t get a snow day. ❄️ thank you 🙏🏼
JD Vance personally invited Pope Leo to the U.S. 250th celebration on the 4th of July. Today the Vatican announced Leo will be spending the day with migrants instead.
What just happened with tariffs? The Supreme Court struck down Trump’s liberation day tariffs. What does this mean? Will prices finally come down? #tariffs #trade
Will Trump strike Iran? Now that SCOTUS has rejected his tariffs, he might: open.substack.com/pub/interrup...
This is in line with Goldman Sachs getting rid of DEI for its board, as one example. If the Epstein scandal shows us anything it's that we need more inclusiveness and equality, not less.
Yes, but this strikes me as the preservation of the crown, more than holding people in high positions to account. In this instance, it was on the right side of history.
#Andrew should be arrested and prosecuted for abusing girls, not merely for revealing secrets.
