A PSA from Thomas Massie:

The crooked Cons, aided by weak Dem “leadership”, are simply sitting and watching as Rump starts World War III. What is their strategy, hope Rump suddenly dies?

They are literally trying to convince you that starting a war is ending a war.

Don’t characterize illegal wars and human rights violations as “distractions.” Trump has already gotten away with everything. No distraction required.

Call these things what they are. Political powerplays based on cold hard cash. Trump needs Iran’s light crude to process his Venezuelan sludge.

😕

Right now UK is pretty much running the electrical grid on renewables and Nuclear.

Abolish ICE!

France! Kick out the US ambassador Charles Kushner: Convicted felon pardoned by TRUMP!

I served in the military for 20 years. Afterwards, I devoted another 25 years directly supporting the military, as contractor and civilian.

For those serving now, you are either participating in or supporting an illegal war. The orders to commit were illegal. You have an obligation to resist.

Hmmm. In Epstein's sweetheart deal he got immunity for co-conspirators. Why when DOJ and FBI says there were NO co-conspirators?

Thinking of all the military members serving in these operations. They courageously go where duty calls. Their sacrifices represent the best of us and they deserve leaders of integrity.

Yeah the war isn’t a distraction from the Epstein files, it’s a continuation of them

We’re automating ourselves into a corner. If everyone is out of a job, who exactly is the customer?

Arches National Park!

What a stunning landscape of whimsical geological formations!

DOJ has come to mean the Department of Obstruction of Justice.

Oh no did an unpopular right wing president fail to come through on any of their promises while they crash the economy and unilaterally start a war to 'distract' from it? Again?

What fucking year is this?

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

Everything seems awful and chaotic and powerless, so I am left to do what I can only do: share some beauty with the world. I have no wise words or platitudes, but I do have a camera and empathy. A shot from my first global geomagnetic storm (2024) 💛

Americans rise up against your government.

Every ICE officer who has broken the law should be arrested, tried, and imprisoned for their crimes.

FACT: Trump is a 34-count convicted felon, a rapist, a racist, a business fraudster, and now an obvious pedophile. If you support him, there is something seriously wrong with you.

NBC: “Are you committing your missiles won’t have the capability to reach 🇺🇸?”

Iranian FM: “Yes.”

NBC: “Then why are you bombing our bases?”

Iranian FM: “Because they’re attacking us.”

Speaker Jeffries just asked if Rump’s Iran attack without Congressional approval, as required in the Constitution, was an impeachable offense. A softball if there ever was one. And he didn’t swing the bat!!! He is way to weak for this moment. Dems must attack, try to impeach, force votes. Resist!

They say 'the machines of the future' will be as smart as people... OK, but WHICH people? Because it kinda matters quite a bit.

1-The republic truly is dead. The American republic, I mean. Since election night 2024, I have seen clearly that the man who sent a mob to attack the first branch of government would govern like a king, and I was right. I've written this type of thing so many times and said it in person to so many people but, I'm sorry, it's the great story of our time: for all intents and purposes, we live under an elected (for now) monarch who makes tax, spending, and war decisions on his own by executive fiat and completely disregards Congress because he feels confident that no one will hold him to account.

“the great story of our time” indeed
