You know what the Strait of Hormuz DOESN’T cut off?

Wind turbines. UBI. public transit. Taxing billionaires and redistributing it to the regular people who created that wealth. Solar panels. A plant based diet. Bike lanes.

Q: A new report says that a military investigation has found that the US struck the school in Iran. As commander in chief, do you take responsibility?

TRUMP: For what?

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

One out of every 11,533 donors in the 2024 election was a billionaire.

Yet they were responsible for one out of every 5 dollars given to a politician — with just 300 billionaires spending over $3 billion.

Boy, 7, dies of brain condition caused by world’s most contagious disease — years after he had it as a baby Even those who make a full recovery from the initial infection face a lurking threat: a deadly disease that remains latent until striking — and killing — years later.

California boy dies of SSPE (measles complication) after being infected at age 7 months, when he was too young to be vaccinated.

Right well, thats the joke.

Abdication of responsibility for target identification and confirmation somehow precludes the us gov, us military, us citizenry of ownership over the murder of children

Guess its not funny huh

Still crazy that the president’s lawyer spent two days with Ghislaine Maxwell, she “cleared” him of wrongdoing and was almost immediately transferred to a more pleasant prison and nobody in the administration will explain it and the media acts like two large dots are just impossible to connect.

Analysis Suggests School Was Hit Amid U.S. Strikes on Iranian Naval Base

By September 2016 [the building] was partitioned off and was no longer connected to the base.

Publicly available satellite imagery shows the structure bears the hallmarks of a school, including a sports field and other recreational areas added over time.

Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.

Just realized that with Abolish ICE at +11, it's polling over 30 percentage-points ahead of Trump approval. Guess that means if the media wants to be representative, it should give at least like 40% more airtime to people who support abolishing ICE to Trump supporters

This is the point. If your vaunted trillion-dollar military can't get through a few days of airstrikes because you've consolidated the industrial base so badly, then you don't have a trillion-dollar military, you just have contractors in No. Virginia getting rich

The idea that we should fund an agency that is killing Americans here at home because this president has launched an illegal war-of-choice abroad is absolutely ludicrous.

No funding for DHS until these attacks on our rights stop.

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

Big announcement from us: we are fully funded, we met our goal. I cannot thank everyone who supported us enough. We are putting the pedal on the gas to put out work worthy of your trust.

Trump Labor Secretary Caught Using Govt Funds for Her Birthday Party The birthday party was “renamed” in order to avoid greater scrutiny about using public funds.

Would just remind folks that a GSA employee named Jeff Neely went to federal prison for throwing lavish parties during a 2010 government conference, then claiming it was all business. He was sentenced to 90 days.

You can absolutely imprison dipshits for flamboyantly wasting taxpayer dollars.

An aerial photo shows three diggers excavating the ground for graves. More than 65 graves are already dug. Those not yet dug are marked out by chalk.

Not a single US newspaper will publish this photo. No news channel will broadcast it.

The graves are being prepared for more than 80 young children killed in the US/Israeli strike on the school in Minab, Iran on Saturday.

Once again the MAGA Supreme Court justices have put partisan politics over impartial justice.

But now the race for NY-10 is set. We’re up against an AIPAC-aligned multi-millionaire who bought his seat and we’re building a people’s movement to take it back. It’s time to fight, not fold. LFG.
