Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

One tennis star’s journey from Dubai back home — after a title win amid explosions How one tennis player — and his family and doubles partner — experienced the military strikes in Dubai, and how they returned home.

“It suddenly started to feel very real.”

Camellias doing their thing!

A federal judge in Washington, D.C. has ruled that Kari Lake was not lawfully appointed as the leader of the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) the independent federal agency that oversees Voice of America and other U.S.-funded international broadcasters.

I am so tired of this classless, clueless embarrassment of a president.

"We have to pull out the most powerful arsenal in defense of our democracy that we have, and that's impeachment and removal. And we can't wait."

He'll remove the oil sanctions against Russia & he'll tell Putin he's got his back. The same thing he did when Putin put a bounty on our troops in his first term.

I was an American hostage in Iran for 444 days. Trump's war is absolutely moronic Barry Rosen and John Limbert were among 52 people held at the US embassy in Tehran from November 1979 to January 1981

Wow.....

All the dictator has done for 13 months is make billionaires trillionaires and put us all at risk and profit off our suffering. Depose the fascist regime now. Trump is a dictator. MAGA are Nazis. Ice is the Gestapo. The only words I want to hear from dems/gop is depose the baby raper dictator now.

The Whole Internet Is Utterly Appalled By This Latest White House "Call Of Duty"-Style Post "US troops are dying in a war and the White House is out here treating it like it's a video game. The bar is in hell."

Sick beyond comprehension.

People got real mad at Biden for looking at his watch during a dignified transfer.

Looking forward to the same outrage at Trump for wearing a fucking hat

Went for a very windy walk in the land trust preserve. (Sorry about the wind noise)

I'm betting they rejected him. But standards are so much lower now they would probably give him a command position.

Distressing content warning:

A bodycam video seems to contradict the claims made by ICE regarding the fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez.

Homeland Security and ICE kept the murder of 23-year-old American citizen Ruben Ray Martinez on March 2025 a complete secret.

USA emits 15 tons of carbon per person per year. This is unsustainable. Felon in Chief is spending $1 billion a day to steal another country's oil instead of funding research & construction of solar power, thermal power & hydroelectric power. GOP are digging a mass grave for America

Even red states are defiantly rejecting DOJ’s demands for private voter data “Election officials across the political spectrum stood up to protect state sovereignty and voters’ security, regardless of partisanship,” voting rights advocate David Becker told Democracy Docket.

Earlier this week, Idaho became the latest state to push back against the U.S. Department of Justice’s campaign to seize the private voter data of every state. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/eve...

I gotta be honest, it's still confounds me that people smart enough to acquire law degrees aren't smart enough to recognize that Trump has no real loyalty to anyone. They are tools to implement his will but also the scapegoats he'll throw under the bus no matter what they do or how loyal they are/1

That would be Trump & I support the flogging thing. Not usually an advocate for torture but in his case it is not only justified but a moral necessity.

My money once again is on this guy
