This is *nothing* dignified about wearing a cheap baseball cap that promotes yourself to the otherwise solemn ceremony to receive the bodies of the troops you had killed to distract from your bad economy and rampant pedophilia.

"All the President's Men" was a warning Nearly 50 years later, the film feels less like a triumphant ode to journalism than a warning about media decay.

Sunday thought: We will prevail Finding courage in a dark time

It’s been a hard week. If you’re feeling angry, you’re not alone. I see it in your comments. I’m struck by how you are fighting back against this tyranny, nonetheless.

You are giving me hope.

YOUR WORTH

You know the value of every article of merchandise,
but if you don’t know the value of your own soul, 
it’s all foolishness. 
You’ve come to know the fortunate and the inauspicious stars,
but you don’t know whether you yourself
are fortunate or unlucky.
This, this is the essence of all sciences—
that you should know who you will be
when the Day of Reckoning arrives.

MATHNAWI III, 2652-2654
(translated by Kabir Helminski and Camille Helminski)

The human shape is a ghost
made of distraction and pain.
Sometimes pure light, sometimes cruel,
trying wildly to open,
this image tightly held within itself.

FURUZANFAR #568
(translated by John Moyne and Coleman Barks)

Wanted to share this poem by Rumi, a Persian poet from the 13th century CE. His short yet profound works have shaped Iranian/Islamic culture and influenced poetry around the world to this day. 🇮🇷

History will record it as The Epstein War.

For real. It’s happening in Iran, but once it’s all thought through the obvious motivation for the US will be distraction from Epstein.

The Epstein War.

Just in case they are looking to see public response.

I am against war. I am against collaborating with warmongers. I'm against war crimes and the massacre of children. Of anyone.

War is monstrous.

What is being done cannot be justified. I am ashamed of and disgusted by the horror we unleash.

Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"

Not only the Ukraine/ Russia war didn't end in 24 hours after becoming a President, a new a fresh war just got started by the convicted felon.

You couldn’t make this up.

Why Khamenei’s killing hit Putin where it hurts U.S. strikes on Iran will have deepened the Russian president’s paranoia, and his desire to win in Ukraine.

The assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei will have triggered two of Vladimir Putin’s deepest instincts:

Deep-rooted paranoia about his own longevity, and a drive for political survival defined by victory over Ukraine — whatever the cost.

You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America.

And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.
