Does the FIFA Peace Prize mean nothing anymore?

Two photos. The first shows Catturd tweeting: Name one US inspired regime change that hasn't ended in absolute disaster The next tweet shows him posting an AI illustration of Khamenei turned into a pile of dust. It says "I'm eliminated."

Two tweets. The first shows Laura Loomer promoting her show, where she says "A message has been sent that we are not interested in going back to the way politics were prior to Donald Trump, prior to 2016. We don't want warhawks. We don't want any more Neocons. We want American First. Period. End of discussion." The next tweet says: Today is a great day. Our military is amazing. @PeteHegseth is an absolute killer. Now you see why the Deep State worked so hard against him. It’s great having a Sec War who has Infidel literally tattooed on his body. He actually gets it. God bless him.

Two tweets. The first shows Will Chamberlain tweeting: The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars. If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position. The next tweet shows him posting "Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead." The tweet has a USA flag attached.

Two tweets. The first shows Gunther Eagleman tweeting: "Warmonger Lindsey Graham just rushed to Fox to advocate for U.S. involvement as soon as he could. He is also pushing for a US-backed regime change in Iran. I would like to renominate Graham to get a one-way ticket to the frontlines of every war he wants America involved in." There's an attached video of Graham speaking. The next shows Eagleman tweeting: UST IN! President Trump is HARD AT WORK all weekend after the massive strikes on Iran! He’s already on the phone with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte! Trump is a machine!" There's an attached video of a news segment about the war in Iran.

In the past, sometimes presidents have said it’s just a military operation or limited airstrikes to skirt Congress. Trump has unilaterally launched major combat operations, declaring war with the goal of regime change. A major violation of the U.S. Constitution, also illegal under international law

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

Ha! I know what you mean. I did Stevie the first time I did an Artist Fave 15 back about 10 mos ago. Technically considered all Stevie tracks from 1960s - 1990s, and yet all but one or two were from '71-'76.

"will prob love forever" ... No doubt!! 🔥

(Between Innervisions and Songs in the Key of Life, hard to pick which is my fave Stevie album, but these two def on top)

etc. also includes Dan the Automator (although a lot of his work is, I guess, hip hop-adjacent)

... #Boston didn't get smacked as hard as other areas: "only" 15 inches of snow earlier this afternoon before it wound down, w/ 50-60 mph wind gusts, compared to 2-2.5 feet of snow, stronger gusts, & more whiteouts elsewhere.

It's a great album. My fave fwiw

I know. In addition to the cruelty, corruption, grift, and white Cristian Nationalism, everything is right wing cosplay, often to an absurd level.

Hah! Wondering if she considered adding a cowboy hat was one of the first things I thought seeing this 🤠

🔥! Will be great (i've seen her a couple times but it's been awhile)

No Kings!

ha! Great choice for life soundtrack, especially given the title & lyrics 😃 As much as I love this album, I like Blowout Comb more (one of my all time fave Lps)

I know! I didn't see the initial broadcast of her performance and didn't realize that was the music choice. When I saw video of her full performance a couple days ago I was like, holy crap! Donna Summer's epic MacArthur Park disco suite! And it worked so well with hr breathtaking performance! ⛸️
