This is an escalation by DHS.

Six US Citizens and permanent residents are now home after being held over 30 hours at O’Hare, transferred to Broadview, and moved across state lines.

Community pressure got them home. So many more do not have that support.

NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”

Nature's architect, the weaver bird . 😍

Iran's Foreign Minister says in an exclusive with “Meet the Press” that Russia and Iran have a “very good partnership” and Russia is helping Iran “in many different directions.” NBC News has reported that Russia is providing intelligence to Iran on the location of U.S. forces in the Middle East.

Post from Drop Site News claiming Bellingcat geolocation confirms U.S. Tomahawk missiles struck a girls’ primary school in southern Iran, killing around 180 people, most of them children, with an embedded tweet describing footage of the strike.

Further confirmation of what Trump keeps denying and what Hegseth won't admit to. It was the U.S. that struck that girls’ school.

Republicans are scared. With the Strait of Hormuz closed, oil prices have soared to over $100 per barrel (from under $70 per barrel 10 days ago.) There’s been a huge spike in gas prices. The WSJ called it “the most severe energy crisis since the 1970s and threatening to derail the global economy.”

We are NOT going back to the Vietnam era, people. I lived thru it; it was a horrible time in this country. Guys were getting drafted; ones I knew got letters or enlisted.

House Republicans are not working again this week because they are down at Trump’s golf club in Miami.

Screenshot of a post by Acyn quoting Pete Buttigieg criticizing Trump, saying money from the Middle East is going into the Trump family’s crypto fund while Americans are being sent to the Middle East for Trump’s war. A video frame shows Buttigieg speaking.

Pete Buttigieg nails it.

U.S. Tomahawk Hit Naval Base Beside Iranian School, Video Shows The evidence contradicts President Trump’s claim that Iran was responsible for a strike at the school that killed 175 people, most of them children.

Breaking News: New video adds to evidence that a U.S. missile likely hit an Iranian school where 175 people, many of them children, were reportedly killed.

At least some Americans are benefiting from Trump’s Iran War.

Every fucking word. 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯👇

BRENNAN: The US is suspending some sanctions on Russia. But doesn't Russia financially benefit?

WRIGHT: Right now we're worried about Iran & US consumers

B: Russia was helping Iran

W: Well, there's been rumors. We don't know

B: Iranian drones have Russian parts in them. They're sharing intel

Crude oil prices spike near $120 a barrel as the Iran war impedes production and shipping. ⛽️⛽️

A new plaque now marks the site of the January 6, 2021 Capitol assault, positioned near the West Front steps where some of the most intense clashes between rioters and law enforcement unfolded.

The house of cards built to hide the horrors in the Epstein files is collapsing.

It's the middle of the night in Chicago. Reporters and electeds are trying to figure out why a US citizen was detained by CBP, why her phone was inside an ICE detention center tonight, and where she is now.

Also unclear what happened to the other five people she was detained with at O'Hare airport.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

Holy shit, DOJ posted the missing Epstein files containing the sexual assault allegations from one of the victims, who was a teen at the time.

The allegations were against BOTH trump and Epstein.

The lack of media coverage about the bombing of the girls elementary schools is shocking.

I hate to say it bluesky but I'm not seeing anywhere near enough flowers* on my timeline, can we do something about that please? 🌱

#FlowersOnFriday #FloralFriday #PurpleFriday #Bloomscrolling #PlantSky

*moss, lichen, fungi, succulents, ferns and foliage plants also most welcome of course

Red has always been my favourite colour. So when I noticed how imperfect the red lines were, yet the flower itself looked perfect. It made me realise that seeing the flaws up close doesn’t destroy the final result. It can make it more beautiful. 🪷 #photography #redandwhite #flower #nature #bloom

How beautiful is Nature. Small flowers, different trees, sky with clouds. So much beauty.
