Iran, which is being beat to HELL, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors, and promised that it will not shoot at them anymore.
This promise was only made because of the relentless U.S. and Israeli attack. They were looking to take over and rule the Middle East. It is the first time that Iran has ever lost, in thousands of years, to surrounding Middle Eastern Countries.
They have said, "Thank you President Trump." I have said, "You're welcome!" Iran is no longer the
"Bully of the Middle East," they are, instead, "THE LOSER OF THE MIDDLE EAST," and will be for many decades until they surrender or, more likely, completely collapse! Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran's bad behavior, are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Jubilee Warrant Clinic held Friday Anyone in Selma with certain non-violent offenses may go to First Baptist Church to have their fines reduced or waived.

Justice should never be out of reach.

Yesterday in Selma, we joined GRAE, LDF, and local partners to host a Jubilee Warrant Clinic. The clinic helped community members address non-violent warrants and reduce or waive fines, bringing legal support directly to the people.

"We hosted that Iranian ship. They disarmed for our naval exercise. Then America attacked."

India's ex-FM just exposed the setup.

The UK stays silent when our "allies" pull stunts like this.

DOJ releases Epstein files with accusations against Trump Over the course of four interviews in 2019, a woman told the FBI that Epstein and Trump sexually abused her in the 1980s.

β€œA DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credibleβ€”and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

There must be accountability.

And every single dime of Noem’s outrageous $220 million ad campaign β€” using taxpayers money β€” must be returned.

Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.

A complex illustration called β€œThe Prometheus Ballet.”

Prometheus, moved by the helplessness of men against fate, stole Fire from the gods and gave it to men. This so angered Zeus that he caused Prometheus to be chained to Mount Caucasus where a vulture came each day to gnaw at the liver of Prometheus. Every night he healed again, only to be attacked anew on the following day, for thousands of years, until Hercules set Prometheus free by slaying the vulture and breaking the chains.

My mom was involved with SNCC back in the day in my very white home town of Boulder, CO. When she died I found a collection of posters that are pretty amazing…

Today, the court recognized that poisoning a residential community with toxic chemicals is a profound abuse of power by DHS.

Proud of our team @democracyforward.org. We must continue protecting the right to live in one’s home without fear of chemical weapons being used by the government.

So Iran now has, perhaps for the first time, information about the location of our most sensitive covert sites in the region.

A completely foreseeable, unnecessary consequence of unnecessary war with Iran.

As someone who lived in Utah for two decades this surprises me not even a little.

Very strong anti-vaxxer culture there that is a confluence of religion, lack of education, and an MLM driven β€œwellness” and alternative medicine culture.

Hearing Transcripts Unsealed From Subpoena Fights in Trump Cases - Charlie Savage I have been continuing my efforts to get material from the behind-the-scenes court battles in the Trump election and documents cases unsealed for the public and historical record. (See this post from ...

DOJ has produced, and Judge Boasberg has ordered unsealed, transcripts from three hearings in the investigations that led to Trump's federal indictments.

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions.

I don’t think the incompetence actually is going to be what Kristi Noem is remembered for.

It will be the killings, the lawlessness, and the grift, if I had to guess.

What the hell.

We've gone from "this isn't a war" and it's not about regime change to "wars can be fought forever" and will be fought until unconditional surrender and Trump personally picks Iran's leadership.
