Progressive just trying to make the world a better place. Who’s with me? In Vietnam until current Admin killed my project. (Permanent residence in Denver.) Love sports, exploring countries and cultures, the outdoors. Plus platforms to waste precious time!
If US democracy was functional, this would have led to an immediate impeachment and removal from office.
Trump is threatening NATO with consequences if they don’t join a war that none of them had a say in and that Trump now can’t figure out how to get out of.
Dumbest possible timeline.
Trump finally discovers the value of allies… but only having started a war he has no idea how to end. This is why past presidents have tried to win allied support in advance. But Trump couldn’t be bothered.
Or, and hear me out here, what if the GOP is run through with antisemites not because some foreign power is paying them but because it's genuinely who they are and what they believe
Of all the things that Trump SHOULD know about the Confederacy is that it didn’t have to destroy a much larger and better equipped United States Army. All they had to do was not lose and hope the loyal citizenry of the US tired of war.
Nathanael Greene might be our (USA) greatest general ever. (A hill I’ll gladly die on btw)
The way our nation turned its back on those who helped us at great risk to themselves and their families is an unforgivable national shame.
We owed Mohammad Nazeer Paktyawal. Instead, ICE arrested him in front of his children and he died in their custody. We failed him and his family.
OMG! Utah Valley ran a great play and the guy missed an open dunk. Gutting. CA Baptist dancing for the first time.
CA Baptist PG Daniels played miserable game. Until the last 3 minutes or so. What a game.
Absolute thrilling back and forth rock fight for the WAC championship. CA Baptist-Utah valley to go dancing.
That was an incredible shot by Akron. Absolutely cold blooded. (As I asked, what is he doing??!!)
This was *the* case pro-Israel defenders would point at to say "See? Israel takes human rights violations seriously!"
And after all that — including mobs of Israeli rioters and politicians storming a military base to protest the arrest of these soldiers — it's being dropped.
America is a great place to visit and most Americans are very nice, outgoing people. However, if you are considering visiting the US from a foreign country right now, you have rocks in your head.
Oh brother. Nuggets play (probably) their best game of the year. Then follow it up with whatever this is tonight.
A former top Chevron executive was super tight with Delcy Rodriguez. He told the CIA to back her instead of Venezuela's democratic opposition,. The agency told Trump.
Now Ali Moshiri is ready to cash in. He's raising $3 billion to get back in Venezuela's oil game.

Meanwhile, back in the real world . . . Medicare is a *federal* government program. Gavin Newsom doesn't control the federal government, Donald Trump does.
For the avoidance of doubt. This is the pointy bit on @waitmanwbeorn.com’s map. Images (c) me, 2020 #Hormuz
If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.
A week after FIU college republicans were exposed for celebrating Himmler's concept of a "Nazi heaven," UF college republicans are disbanded for doing Hitler salutes.
To lose one strait controlling the global oil supply may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness.

FCC to journalists: cover the Iran war the way the president prefers or lose your broadcast license.
The basket for these 2 UMBC players must look like a bathtub. Hitting everything from everywhere. 🏀
After a pregnant woman’s murder, Boston police rounded up countless Black men in search of her killer. But they were chasing a lie.
This week, with our colleagues at the @bostonglobe.com, we explore the racist hoax that changed the city of Boston:
Not bad. But mountain time even better! Can sleep until 9! (I can’t but some people can)
"There is an active shooter at your child's school. Text your child and tell them that it's safe to walk in the halls right now, just as long as the shooter doesn't shoot."
in a single sentence Trump claims Iran's military is "destroyed 100%" but also admits "it's easy for them to send a drone or two" 🙃
Trump to the UK, 6 March: "We don't need them any longer... We don't need people to join wars after we've already won!"
Trump six days later: Publicly begs for the UK to send warships.
For all gluttons for punishment (or Rockies fans)! 🤷♂️
Boop! Our latest episode is here and this time we are discussing Dr. Mary Edwards Walker, the only woman to receive the Medal of Honor

Historian here happy women’s history month: “At the UN Commission on the Status of Women, 37 countries voted to strengthen access to justice for women and girls. Six abstained. One voted against: the United States under Donald Trump.
Alone. Against a global effort to advance women’ rights.”
