In the last 24 hours, Iran has:

- Struck three ships trying to cross the Strait of Hormuz, disabling a Thai cargo ship
- Blown up a large oil storage facility in Oman
- Struck two oil tankers at harbor in Iraq, setting both ablaze.
- Blown up oil storage tanks next to Bahrain’s main airport

Fuel, fertilizer cost increase due to war is 'double whammy' for Minnesota farmers President of the Minnesota Farm Bureau Dan Glessing talked to MPR News host Nina Moini about the impact of the war in the Middle East on the state’s farmers.

Not only is Trump’s stupidity going to drive up already high food prices around the world, but yields will also shrink because of the lack of fertilizer. This is what happens when you fire government experts and sideline anyone who raises tough questions. The only voice that matters is the Mad King.

America needs to stop giving TV talking heads difficult jobs they are not qualified to do.

This crisis is metastasizing. We are a joke.

US military spent $9 million on crab legs and lobster in the months before Iran war Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also authorized the $100,000 purchase of a Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staff’s home, according to a watchdog report

I used to work for the government. In order to justify budgets, bad actors overspend at the end of the fiscal year. So the administration spent $93B on bullshit to justify massive Pentagon budget proposals, all while gutting health care and food assistance. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

We lost something when Ebert died. He was a critic-and he could be critical AF, but he was also a dude who just loved movies. Loving something often means you love the garbage as well as the gourmet. I feel like folks have forgotten that, today.

The Trump regime cannot explain the point of the war on Iran.

My conclusion is that they are waging a multi-billion dollar war against the Epstein Files.

Warren: "It is still the case that the Trump admin cannot explain the reasons we entered this war, the goals we're trying to accomplish. The only part that seems clear is that while there is no money for 15m Americans who lost their healthcare, there's a billion a day to spent on bombing Iran."

This is false.

Jamal Harrison Bryant, a Megachurch pastor, has said the boycott is over. He is not leaders, plural. He and his church were not the ones to start the calls for boycott.

Nekima Levy Armstrong, who founded the Racial Justice Network, and other Minnesota civil rights activists were.

Schatz: We don’t know for sure, but the likely bombing of an elementary school with one of our Tomahawk missiles is not a one-off mistake. It is the result of a change in policy so that the United States has way looser rules of engagement — way more tolerance for civilian harm.

Conservatively, several thousand people are dead now throughout the Middle East as a result of this, agriculture is threatened due to trade interference, energy prices are spiking and more people are set to die. And people who can maybe bring that up won't. Catastrophic.

We need to mercilessly, brutally, viciously cull every single person in tech who does not understand what "garbage in, garbage out" means.

They simply can't coexist with human society. They need to go fuck off into the deep forest.

The idea that opposing and rolling back trans rights is good for cis women and girls is ludicrous on every level and absolutely enraging when applied in legislation and policy that obviously limits and rolls backs rights for ALL women and girls

Avengers: Endgame was 182 minutes and had a $356 million budget. Using Noemenomics it, would have cost $40.04 billion to make. That's more than the entire box office take from the year 2025.

I live in the state of California, he's my governor, I voted for him in 2018, and he's the worst piece of trash imaginable.

He hates the trans community, he's criminalized being homeless in a state where hardworking people are one missed paycheck from the street. He had Bannon on his podcast
