Can’t stop thinking about the Saudis, Qataris, etc who gave Trump, Kushner, and the juniors Witkoff and Trump SO much money

In part, I suspect, to get Trump’s help containing Iran.

Being bombed by Iran because Bibi and Lindsey goaded Trump to bomb on was NOT the plan.

Must be pretty pissed.

The Saudis gave Jared so much money.

And I’ll bet they wanted “something” done about Iran in return.

Pretty sure it wasn’t this.

I'm with Webster on this.

! You can assured this would not be universal

A true conspiracist would say he started this war with this in mind

Horrifying

Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Greenland, Canada, and on and on and on. Lindsey Graham says they are “marching through the world.”
They don’t care how many US soldiers they get killed. Meanwhile, they’re building concentration camps at home for Americans to die in. What will it take for people to wake up?

Dropsite reports “Black rain” + “nuclear winter” caused by Israeli strikes on oil depots in Tehran

- chemicals are producing acidic precipitation that causes skin burns + severe lung damage on contact

Our government, in our name

It’s not great his being a J6 pardonee is many paras down in the story

Fuzzy memories and hard facts: An SC accuser's claims against Epstein, Trump examined An alleged victim of Jeffrey Epstein gave FBI agents true accounts of her time growing up in SC. Claims she made about Donald Trump remain unsubstantiated.

Nothing says “we are liberating you from a bad regime to give you a better life” like bombing desalination plants and oil refineries

To be clear: these results make me quite sad

We like our cruelty, just not quite this much

Openly calling for the disenfranchisement of millions

Cool, cool

…

This same argument can be extended to excluding black characters, to excluding women characters from certain roles, to any form of bigotry you can imagine.

It is explicitly agreeing to reproduce the existing system of oppression and bragging about it in the newspaper

Cupich: “A real war with real death and real suffering being treated like it’s a video game -it’s sickening. Hundreds of people are dead, mothers and fathers, daughters and sons, including scores of children who made the fatal mistake of going to school that day.” www.archchicago.org/en/statement...

Ruben Ray Martinez: Footage shows US citizen shot by ICE agent in Texas traffic stop The Department of Homeland Security did not disclose Martinez was shot by one of its agents until almost a year later.

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.

"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

Yeah I really want to take this seat, but “at least he’s OUR Nazi” just doesn’t work for me

Isn’t there someone else who can win this? C’mon people

Thank you! At an event last night I said "If the word hope doesn't work for you try, 'Never fucking surrender.'" The word hope seems too sunny to a lot of people, but the heart of it as I'm interested in it is: we make the future in the present, if we show up, and that never surrender part.

And how to hold Open AI, who made Chat GPT, slso accountable

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

The old city hall station in NYC showing its gorgeous tiling and decrepit dirty broken glass skylights. People are taking pictures and looking at their phones. A stopped 6 train can be glimpsed at the far end of the station

Miss Haversham

And, just as once before in city hall park, a pigeon pooped on me

For those replying about how men are expecting women to do all the work

And how exhausting and utterly unreasonable that is

No kidding

About to tour the old City Hall station

Where Mamdani was sworn in, youngsters

(Quite excited)

Ok… but also

He has to want to change

He has to want to pay attention to YOU

The asymmetry of the value placed on human life is so striking. Israel has a goal to recover 40-year-old remains; to do so, it invades a sovereign country, and the lives of 26 Lebanese are an afterthought. Their names not even worth printing in the New York Times.
