If this is true, that the Iranian vessel was returning from an international exercise with other countries INCLUDING the United States - and was thus unarmed - & that the US did not make efforts to rescue the crew, that makes Hegseth the "Secretary of War Crimes"

Negen doden bij protesten bij Amerikaans consulaat in Karachi na geruchten over
Zeker negen demonstranten zijn omgekomen en 34 anderen raakten gewond bij pro-Iraanse protesten bij het Amerikaanse consulaat in Karachi, Pakistan. De lokale hulpdiensten meldden tientallen gewonden. Het burger...
The US consulate in Karachi, Pakistan is being attacked by protesters. 🔄 @saadia---m.bsky.social
Israel bombed 2 schools this morning that I know of, with over 40 casualties, schools, not military, schools. He has been frothing at the mouth to get in and do another Palestine and trump helped him. That board of 'peace' didn't last one Scaramucci did it.
This is one of my pettier impulses but I want the record to reflect just how often this motherfucker said that Kamala Harris was the pro-war candidate in 2024.
Long knives …

Working with the fantastic Governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, we are going to send a great hospital boat to Greenland to take care of the many people who are sick, and not being taken care of there. It's on the way!!! President DJT
Healthcare in Greenland is publicly funded, free at the point of use, and despite geographical challenges considered very good.
Healthcare costs in the USA are extortionate and responsible for 60% of all US bankruptcies.
So maybe Denmark should be sending hospital ships the other way.
Greenland has universal health care and far higher standards of healthcare than are found in Louisiana and most of the US. In the meantime, Trump has blocked funding of the ACA, meaning that tens of millions of Americans are about to lose their healthcare coverage.
My WWII era veteran father gave me “The Diary of Anne Frank” at age 12. I was horrified at the cruel, inhumane treatment, torture, murder of helpless, innocent people. I asked “could this ever happen here?”, and he said, “No, not here. That’s why we fought so hard against the Nazis”.
This piece has been viewed over 14 million times over the last 48 hours. Unbelievable.
I'm so encouraged to see how many people are as disgusted by this as I am.
Sometimes you just need to be reminded that you're not alone.
Keep fighting, good people!

UPDATE: DOJ has restored the doc showing 4 FBI formal interviews with the Trump accuser, which I reported accurately was taken down. (We still don't have access to 3 of the interviews.)

This man is going viral for showing up to an Anti-ICE protest in NJ. People thought he was there to cause trouble. They were wrong.
He’s never protested before. He came because he saw kids running from ICE on the news and couldn’t sit at home. This is the best of America.
So good
The woman in her bathrobe and slippers is such a stark center. It’s a brilliant capture of the chaos.
I'm not sure what it looks like. One thing for sure, it certainly doesn't look like America I proudly served.
I am gonna go out on a limb and say that a Jersey dude so horrified that he went to his first protest and is trying not to cry on camera has a pretty good chance of staying radicalized. And that while Bluesky loves to pick apart things like this, this kinda video moves the needle for OTHER dudes.

I live in Australia, and our state has an election next month. Due to mobility issues, I am about to receive my ballot papers in the mail. I voted the same way in the last federal election as well.
Trump's lying is often not based on any knowledge at all. He makes stuff up and gets away with it.
BREAKING: The Trump administraiton has committed a mass violation of ICE detainees' constitutional rights in MN, effectively blocking their acess to attorneys in the Whipple building, a judge ruled tonight.
The judge: Trump appointeee Nancy Brasel

I couldn’t love this beautiful couple any more than I already do. I miss their class, intelligence, eloquence and love in the White House now more than ever. 💙
Just scrolled by a post claiming that Lady Gaga did not deserve to win Pop Vocal Album over Miley Cyrus (?) because Gaga's vox on Mayhem are "uneven" (?) and I would like everyone to know that this opinion is factually Wrong.

Epstein is the most garish and harrowing manifestation of this but oligarchy makes life miserable in a thousand other ways. A core point of democracy is that no one should have so much power that they can make themselves everybody's problem. We should have a political party that believes that
I am a resident of Saint Paul. I’m not mad about Minneapolis getting all of the attention, because they’ve also had 100% of the murders. And the entire state of Minnesota rises with the tide of attention on Minneapolis. Okay. End rant.

Good point. Still hoping the tide is turning tho.
