Bad news for us
Before starting a war with Iran, clearly Trump/ Hegseth didn’t consider the calamitous economic consequences of Iran closing the Strait of Hormoz
For this week's @goldengoalmag.bsky.social newsletter, @salazar.bsky.social wrote about Jorge Mas, the billionaire Inter Miami owner, who just used Lionel Messi to push the Trump administration toward regime change in Cuba goldengoalmag.substack.com/p/theres-mor...
Trump keeps talking like he can just flip a switch and walk away from this war.
Meanwhile, retaliation has already started, with cyberattacks hitting U.S. companies.
This will be long-lasting even after the bombing stops.

Why are we at war?
Republicans won't even use the word 'war', let alone explain why it is worth risking the lives of our service members.
I'm working to put members of the administration under oath so we can get answers.
Margaret Chase Smith (1897–1995) was an American politician who became one of the most respected voices for integrity in U.S. government.

NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”
WE STILL DON'T HAVE A CLEAR ANSWER ON THE MOST BASIC QUESTION ABOUT THE IRAN WAR
WHY did the U.S. go to war?
A Popular Information review of public statements over the last 9 days found 17 DIFFERENT EXPLAINATIONS. Many of which contradict each other.

So we are now in a war, we have invaded Venezuela and Ecuador and we are threatening Cuba. We are killing children in schools but protecting a child predator at home. And now tRump’s holy grail, the Dow, is tanking. Are we great yet?

I understand that there are a lot of folks on the left who instinctively recoil from religious language, and with good reason given its use by the right.
But please listen to this, and focus on how he's trying to realign "Christian values" so they align with and advance progressive policy goals.
The things the Trump admin did in the name of efficiency don't seem very efficient.
She taught thousands of Black Americans how to defeat Jim Crow with a pen.
Septima Poinsette Clark helped build citizenship schools that taught people to read, pass voter registration literacy tests and claim their right to vote.
Her classrooms helped build the civil rights movement.

I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.
This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.
I'm unsure how people really think people were downplaying a virus that can kill you, make you go blind, wipe out your immune system for years, and oh yeah come back and kill you a decade after you thought you'd shaken it.
At a kids’ party I met an 82-yr-old grandpa who had almost died from an injury sustained from daily lifting his 53-yr-old stepdaughter.
She’s immobile & non-verbal since a viral encephalitis at the age of 7.
Her mother died after 40 years of full-time caring.
This is an encephalitis vaccine.
This is going to hit American pocketbooks hard.
A DOJ source says FBI agents found the woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her as a child to be credible:
"They would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying."

this website sucks sometimes
Costco is now demanding that Trump pay them back for his tariffs so they can refund all of their customers.
Vaguely recall that a paroled inmate committing a terrible crime was enough of a scandal to undercut the Dukakis campaign. This is objectively worse in term of Trump's responsibility, but will get a fraction of the attention.
Markwayne Mullin, who only a couple of days ago, thought Iraq was Iran – and called a particular former Fox News anchor, "President Hegseth" (multiple times), has been named as Kristi Noem's replacement as the new Secretary of Homeland Security.
Happy Thursday, America.
Why is this circulating again // this should never stop circulating
Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.
