we're also getting obliterated on the home front
last week my electricity went up by 31.3%
today gas prices jumped from $2.79/gal to $3.19/gal
a jar of mayo that cost $1.19 last month was $3.29 today
these are only a few examples
Not only is the media NOT covering how bad the economic news really is, m
it is absolutely hiding how badly US bases and military assets are being hit right now.
We are getting our asses kicked over in the Persian Gulf!
Our bases are being OBLITERATED, and our Sec Def is a fucking idiot.
Orbán has lost the plot.
Learning tonight that Ukraine's Oshchadbank says 7 employees of its collection team and 2 armoured vehicles, were "unjustifiably detained in Hungary while carrying out regular transportation of foreign currency and bank metals with Raiffeisen Bank Austria."
Volodymyr Zelenskyy - new call sign 'Nostradamus'?
370 days ago, during the infamous Trump/Vance "No Cards" bullying scene, Ukraine's President made this enlightened prediction⬇️
Today Zelenskyy confirmed the US asked for help with combatting Shahed drones!
That first taste of freedom, that first call home to speak with loved ones...
200 more POWs have been exchanged today, and I believe another 300-400 will be swapped by both sides tomorrow.

Himes: I have a theory on how this ends…
You’re going to see oil go across $100… Projections for economic growth are going to go down.
And at some point in 3-5 weeks, the president is going to say this is really not tenable. And he’s going to declare victory and walk away.
BBC Verify has analysed verified videos and satellite imagery that show severe damage to a hospital, sporting centres, a UNESCO world heritage site and two schools since US and Israeli strikes on Iran began on Saturday, as the number of civilian casualties grows.

The media and pundits will always remind you of the brutality of Iran. What they will never mention that Iran followed every nuclear protocol set out by the UN, IAEA, all in accordance with non proliferation treaty.
Israel an undeclared nuclear power has refused all of the above.

Drone strikes on Amazon Web Services facilities this week in the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain highlight the vulnerability of cloud facilities — prominent symbols of US tech power in the region and hard to defend against air attack. Fars News Agency, an outlet affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said on Thursday that Iran targeted Amazon and Microsoft facilities in recent drone strikes.

The US Treasury Secretary confirms Washington has authorised India to purchase Russian oil from tankers at sea.
Bessent explained such traitorous behaviour by pretending it will ease the situation on the energy market, not just enriching Russia and ruining years of sanctions
Órban’s crazy and wicked.
What might the EU do?
Four years. That is it. But our so-called leaders would rather have wars than tackle the climate crisis.
“If the warming rate of the past 10 years continues, it would lead to a long-term exceedance of the 1.5C (2.7F) limit of the Paris agreement before 2030,”

Note that the electoral side is that important given how awful this proposal is but... I am sure the sight of sobbing children being handcuffed and dragged onto planes will boost the Government's standing with the progressive voters we're losing.
Fuck. This.

NEW: Pardon seekers are routinely being asked to pay $1m+ to lobbyists & lawyers claiming access to Trump, often with bonuses if clemency is granted.
I investigated the Trump Pardon Industrial Complex, & detailed the backstory behind 1 interesting pardon.
Just announced: Iceland has urgently moved up its referendum to join the European Union - to 29 August.
A reminder: 🇮🇸 is in many ways already a non-voting 🇪🇺 member because of the EEA. This would give them voting power to shape the laws they have to follow.
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. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"
🇺🇦 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the 🇺🇸 US and its Middle Eastern allies are turning to Kyiv for guidance on how to counter 🇮🇷 Iran’s Shahed drones.

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.”

Bullshit, he did not care, his war is more important to him, he is playing soldier! What mind he had is gone!
Wow, @georgemonbiot.bsky.social just keeps getting better and better.
Rep. Nancy Mace: "I believe Pam Bondi has been less than truthful with the American people and Congress on the Epstein files. I want to know where the files are that were on her desk, because they're not in the hands of Congress ... I want to know why this is continuing to be covered up."
They’re raping people on your dime.
One thing we should be taking away from the fascist crisis is that careful research on the real world is extremely fucking important. Bare minimum that work needs to be funded & expanded for us to have the information & tools necessary to cast off this regime & create a livable world from its ashes.
TRUMP DIPLOMACY. When a country uses a negotiating table as a targeting opportunity, it poisons the well for every administration that comes after it. Every foreign ministry on Earth is watching & concluding whether they’ll ever trust American diplomacy again.

In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.
Pretty funny that Michael Gove is dunking on me now he’s editor of the Spectator to promote its ‘bias-free’ reporting when as a politician he wouldn’t answer any of my press inquiries on the massive Brexit fraud he oversaw as Vote Leave’s co-convener
