Tweet from TN Rep. Andy Ogles saying that "Muslims don't belong in American society"

The absolute most disgusting, eliminationist Islamophobia from multiple members of the House Republican caucus continues to spew forth without acknowledgment or censure

Democrats still get grief for a decade-old “deplorable” comment whereas Republicans acting like the Klan barely hits the news. Bigotry is a career strategy for them.

"[M]oderate Democratic voters are fully in line with the growing economic populism in the party and actually want more of it. And on social issues, they aren’t as worried about a Democratic Party that strongly defends transgender people and abortion rights as many centrist pundits are."

WTI crude oil now UP 25% tonight...
$114.39/bbl

Nikkei is down about 6.5%

Why now is the time to be loudly anti-war We don't need the clarity of hindsight to know war in Iran—or anywhere—will end in physical, moral and financial ruin.

New — My case for why it’s not enough to call this “Trump’s war” when violence abroad implicates us all, and how we don’t need hindsight to know that unequivocally opposing this war will be the correct (and only morally defensible) choice:

So we're nine days into the Iran War and so far we've managed to push the price of oil to $108 a barrel and replace the dangerous hardliner Supreme Leader Khamenei with the even more hardline...::checks notes::

::double checks notes::

Supreme Leader Khamenei.

Junior.

Ok fair. I should have said excitement or support based on public polling.

Focus on age is stupid on all sides. It is individual by Individual. Janet Mills issue isn’t her age it is that she isn’t getting the votes.

Also if we are going to focus on age, Gen X is the worst generation and should be banned from office.

maybe I'm focusing on the wrong thing here but this is the wildest shit I've ever heard a white South African say and I study racism for a living

The pure unadulterated joy. I love it

Geneva Convention 1977 Protocols:
“It is prohibited to attack, destroy, remove or render useless objects indispensable to the survival of the civilian population, such as... drinking #water installations & supplies and irrigation works... for any other motive.”

Iran's FM condemns US attack on Qeshm's freshwater desalination plant, warns of grave consequences US President Donald Trump announced that Iran promised not to attack its neighbours anymore

Multiple news outlets are reporting a US attack on an Iranian #desalination plant.
If verified, this violates international law protecting #water systems during wars, and it sets a dangerous precedent, given intense dependence of Gulf countries on desalination.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Kristi Noem.

Absolutely. Separately I think there is a question of how stupid his name sounds.

Is it bad to make fun of Markwayne as a name? Because that is a stupid name.

Iran is a country of 90 million. Seems like they can keep producing and throwing drones and missiles at regional targets far longer than regional actors can import and use interceptors to block them.

Trump and his cronies are still hiding the Epstein files. They should be held in contempt.

Release the damn files!

Jeffries: "Article 1 of the Constitution provides Congress with the sole authority to declare war. Framers made that decision b/c they were concerned about kings plunging their people into unnecessary wars to pillage resources of others for the benefit of a tyrant and his family. Sound familiar?"

GB News are now bringing Restore Britain on to the channel to tell their own black British presenter, born in Newcastle, she is not British - and it is "ridiculous" to define being British in a way that includes black people.

"Trump is clearly law breaking right now and being allowed to, which is really frightening. He’s operating like a king."
