He can see which side began to make the threat of force or was the first to arm itself and, finally, he can put his finger on the one who struck the first blow.

Any reasoning man who keeps a steady mind can tell which side is the aggressor in 90 wars out of 100. He can see which side is likely to benefit by going to war in the first place and that is a strong reason for suspicion.

Gung hay fat choy, San Francisco!!! Gorgeous parade!
Corrected to make a proper haiku:
Sisters dancing in snowdrop skirts
White hemmed with green dots gracefully swaying
In late winter’s cool breeze
Sisters are dancing in their snowdrop skirts

Dem leaders may not have the majority right now but you must do more right now!
Might be time to get an electric vehicle 🚗
apnews.com/live/iran-wa... This concerns me more than all the Kristo Noem past news talk here on Bluesky.
Cringe at the word “disobey”
Projection by Trump here, calling Zelensky of all people, P.T. Barnum.
Just spoke with President Zelenskyy.
We are focused on our shared priorities: conclude the adoption of the Ukraine Support Loan and of the 20th package of sanctions.
Remember when food required hours to cook?
Photographs required time to develop?
And war required the approval of Congress?

The ending was cut off on the West Coast because of Trump’s Iran war. I assume she was finally convicted?

🚨BREAKING: Pro-voting groups sued Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) for refusing to turn over key records related to his office’s sweeping 2025 voter roll purge — a purge that canceled nearly 471,000 registrations, about 6% of the state’s voters. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
I enjoy Anderson Cooper and Erin Burnett on #CNN; I hope they leave with the Ellison takeover. Personally, I am switching to PBS.
“Have I Got News For You” is sure to have something funny to say this weekend but I cannot see that great show staying the same or even remaining at all.
She is speaking truth, eviscerating Trump.
I switched from Trump’s #SOTU to (how appropriately!) Gaslight on #TCM
Excellent series!
Big if true

We're announcing $107 million in grants to 42 communities across California to prevent gun violence.
That brings our total investments to more than $350 million since 2018.
Violent crime in California is now down 12%.
Gun violence is preventable — and we're proving it.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
I appreciate stevia … Trader Joe’s Organic is the best!
