The Middle Sister

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Coltan isn’t just a mineral — it’s the backbone of modern tech. Phones, drones, missiles, AI chips, aerospace parts: all of it runs on tantalum from Coltan. Whoever controls Coltan controls 21st-century power. And suddenly, Trump is circling every country that has it.

🚨Huge Pentagon Scandal🚨
Hegseth is funneling Pentagon money to Trump!

Venezuela has significant deposits of coltan, a strategic mineral used in electronics, with official estimates from 2016 projecting reserves in the Orinoco Mining Arc could be worth US $100 billion.
metric tons of proven reserves is not public
He can't get Greenland so it's right up Trump's alley!

Venezuela has Coltan too—in the Orinoco Mining Arc. One of the few non-African deposits on Earth. Suddenly U.S. boats are “engaging” Venezuelan vessels and escalating pressure. When rare-earths are involved, nothing is random. That’s resource geopolitics 101.

Trump cutting sudden “new partnerships” with Rwanda and the DRC makes sense when you know the prize: Coltan. Rwanda exports more tantalum than it mines—meaning most of it is smuggled Congolese ore. Someone wants a direct pipeline into the global supply chain.

If Trump foreign policy steers Coltan toward a company tied to his own son, that’s not “America First.” That’s using U.S. power to enrich the family. Venezuela tensions + Congo/Rwanda deals + a $620M Pentagon loan = one big flashing conflict-of-interest sign.

The attacks on Venezuelan boats line up perfectly with the Orinoco Mining Arc—one of the few major Coltan deposits outside Africa. When Trump escalates there while his son is tied to a rare-earth venture? That’s not a coincidence. That’s a supply grab.

From oil fields to lithium to now Coltan—the Trumps always show up exactly where strategic minerals sit. And magically, companies tied to them get sweetheart deals. This isn’t America First. It’s Monopoly, but with armies.

A tiny rare-earth startup just got a $620M Pentagon loan—the largest OSC loan ever. Why? They handle strategic minerals. Guess who’s tied to it? Don Jr. Hard to ignore when Trump is also chasing Coltan deals abroad. Looks less like policy, more like profiteering.

Venezuela’s Coltan? Pressured. Congo’s Coltan? Courted. Rwanda’s Coltan routes? Suddenly strategic. A Trump-linked startup? Handed a $620M loan to handle rare earths. When the moves line up this neatly, it’s not coincidence. It’s a resource play for the Trumps.

Tell Congress: Support discharge petition to force vote on ACA tax credits Contact Congress today!

Since we can’t ever expect Mike Johnson to do the right thing, we’re forcing a vote on extending ACA tax credits. And we only need four more members to sign the petition to make it happen.

Help us move the needle!

The ACIP decision to discontinue the recommendation for a universal hepatitis B birth dose vaccine will cause harm.

As the federal government continues to fail children's health, families can rely on our nation's physicians to continue to put children's health first.

Putin threatened to kill everyone in Europe again with his nuclear weapons.

Adams County Treasurer Alex Villagran (D) is ignoring calls to resign after an investigation found he was an absolute creep to female coworkers: kissing one, adjusting another's bra strap, simulating sexual thrusting at work, and detailing his sexual needs and his wife's anatomy.

How and when exactly did a president acquire the authority to rule in all matters great and small by diktat?

Of course it was staged! @ernest33141.bsky.social

Mockler: One of the administration's primary arguments was that these boats were an imminent threat to the United States.

Lambert: They are

Mockler: They were not heading to the United States

It happened again: The Trump administration has admitted illegally deporting a man to Guatemala despite an immigration judge's order that he was likely to be tortured there.

A judge has ordered the administration to facilitate his return by next week.storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

A war criminal without a war It's just murder.

"When there’s no war, you aren’t committing war crimes when you kill people indiscriminately. You’re just a straight-up murderer."

They are LIARS and they have serious problems with numbers. ‼️💯‼️

Analysis of the latest ACIP meeting at the CDC: Vaccines—and rigorous science—are increasingly under attack. A close look at how the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee under RFK Jr. again changed high-stakes recommendations without solid evidence.

Friends, Yesterday and today, I watched many hours of the CDC’s meeting of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).

It was painful.

But we learned a lot.

That bad news is that our kids are going to pay the price for RFK jr’s views.

A lot of Trump admin communication isn’t strategic. A bunch of the staffers are just like this, except now they can force many others to see it.

And they get extremely weird with women they’re attracted to who they know don’t like them. See also: AOC.

A government of, by, and for the online right.

Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.

They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

‘A disgrace to the office’: Pete Hegseth faces dozens of Democrats calling for him to resign youtu.be/4lwu8XoVWcI?...

Trump’s “enraged” that the media is giving major news coverage to what everyone sees: the age, the decline, the not so slow fade. And he can’t spin it away.

Bonus: folks online are calling him “Sleepy Don” because he keeps nodding off in meetings like it’s nap time at Mar a Lago.

Keep it up 👊🏽
