Trump’s war in Iran is costing Americans $1.5 BILLION more at the pump this week.

You’re not getting better roads.

You’re not getting cleaner air.

Just higher prices — as corporations cash in on Trump’s chaos.

Hey People: you know when you are late to a sporting event and taking your sweet time finding your seats, you’re not only wasting money, you are also disrespecting your team and blocking views for the fans who actually are here to watch the game.

Thanks to Trump’s tax giveaways, Ticketmaster’s parent company paid $0 in federal income taxes last year, and made over $145 million – while overcharging Americans for concerts, sports, and more.

the most embarrassing thing about american fascism is that the impetus-- a desire to return to a mystical lost past of wealth and pleasure and abundance-- is imaginary. we're the richest country on the planet and have been for centuries and that was never at risk. and yet.

US troops were told war on Iran was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’, watchdog alleges Religious freedom group says 200 troops sent complaints of superiors using extremist Christian rhetoric to justify war

A group of 15 servicemembers say their commander told them: “Trump has been annointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran that will cause Armageddon.” That’s just one of dozens of similar complaints. Holy shit. WHERE IS THIS STORY IN THE U. S. PRESS?

The whole "war on cars" whining is really the perfect example of, "When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression."

The reason we have “stupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.

Jimmy Carter never ruled through fear. He did not confuse toughness with strength. He left behind something rarer than dominance: proof that moral courage, persistent service, and quiet humanity outlast any headline.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

things Kristi Noem was NOT fired for:
❌ sending masked federal agents to racially profile and snatch people off the street
❌ deliberately trampling on people's constitutional rights, lying and violating the 4th Amendment
❌ letting masked federal agents execute US citizens in the streets & on camera

I don’t know what to think. Is “Special Envoy for the The Shield of the Americas” a really lame-ass fake title to soothe her hurt feelings, or is it something even more frightening than what she’s doing now? Like is he going to let her carry around the nuclear football?

Spain's Pedro Sánchez hits back at Trump threat to sever trade saying 'no to war' Spain's prime minister delivers a strong rebuttal to US President Donald Trump's threat to end trade with his country.

"It's unacceptable that some presidents use the fog of war to cover up their failures," said Sánchez.

"He added: "The question is not if we are on the side of the ayatollahs - nobody is.

"The question is whether we are in favour of peace and international legality."
