the country is at war and the president is leaving DC this afternoon for a weekend at his private club in Florida that he'll spend with his paying customers

In the 1920s, there was an enormous Klan-aligned caucus in the House of Representatives that passed an immigration restriction bill designed to keep out Catholics and Jews because they supposedly posed an existential threat to American civilization. 100 years later, here we are.

ok i’m done paying attention to trump re iran.

he has no idea what’s going on and no plan.

we are now firmly in early pandemic territory. it’s may 2020.

he will soon argue that oil prices would stop rising if only the media would promise to stop reporting on oil prices rising.

Karp always delivers, he can't help himself and rants openly about Palantir's bloodlust and war-profiteering. He's been doing this for years. Anyone who speaks seriously about Palantir should be shunned. They are what Karp says they are.

Trump posted on his social media account about the people of Iran that "I, as the 47th President of the United States of America, am killing them. What a great honor it is to do so!”

This is the very same Trump who once listed protecting the people of Iran as one of his rationales for war.

y'all should familiarize yourself with what the Average American is consuming entertainment-wise!

Gave up all of the currency and promise of the “idea” of America (however flawed), in exchange for “we kill people. We kill lots of people.”

ICE is trafficking people who aren’t from there to a tiny landlocked absolute monarchy on the borders of South Africa and Mozambique.

UPDATE: Trump says Kushner helped convince him to go to war with Iran The disclosure highlights Kushner's massive financial conflicts.

Maybe it's just me, but I think more people should be talking about the fact that Jared Kushner helped convince Trump to start a war with Iran.

Meanwhile, Kushner's top client, Saudi Arabia, which pays Kushner $25 million+ annually, was also lobbying Trump to start a war.

The UN Refugee Agency says more than 3.2 million people have been displaced in Iran since the start of the war.

"It feels like we're not human." 1,100 Afghan refugees, mostly women & kids, are trapped on a disused military base w/ Iranian missiles raining down overhead after Pres.Trump froze refugee visas. We secretly spoke w/ them; they have no shelters & are begging to be rescued

As someone keeps on reminding me, this war makes a lot more sense once you start treating it as “content creation” by sociopaths.

The Scale of Billionaires’ Campaign Donations is Overwhelming U.S. Politics

NEW: We just published a deep dive into just how much billionaires are now dominating U.S. politics.

We found 300 billionaire families accounted for 19% of federal donations in 2024. The deluge was even larger in many state and local races.

The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.

A senseless, criminal waste

AI error or not, Iran school bombing is a permanent stain on America’s soul | Will Bunch A debate on AI in warfare obscures the truth about an Iran school bombing. U.S. humans are to blame for this war crime.

Wounded Knee. Tulsa. My Lai. Abu Ghraib

And now, Minab

We need to talk about the horror when 180 little schoolgirls, boys and teachers were obliterated by U.S. Tomahawk missiles last week. And tell Congress: Not one more dime for these war crimes

ICE has spun a massive surveillance web. We talked to people caught in it The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE and Border Patrol, is using a broad web of surveillance tools — purchased as its budget has ballooned under this administration — to monitor, apprehend and intimidate the people it seeks to deport and the U.S. citizens critical of its policies.

The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill her—and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?

Fuzzy memories and hard facts: An SC accuser's claims against Epstein, Trump examined An alleged victim of Jeffrey Epstein gave FBI agents true accounts of her time growing up in SC. Claims she made about Donald Trump remain unsubstantiated.

Alabama set to execute man who did not kill anyone Unless Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey intervenes, Charles “Sonny” Burton, 75, will be executed Thursday. He is among thousands in America convicted under a controversial felony murder law.

Sonny Burton is set to be executed by the state of Alabama on Thursday. There is a direct line between a government that murders its own citizens and the devaluing of life abroad. The sin has always started at home.

In other words Trump-Netanyahu have effectively carried out massive uncontained poison gas attacks on Tehran and its people.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
