What it was like to watch grieving parents stare down Mark Zuckerberg in court The most coveted ticket in LA was for a downtown courthouse.

“One thing that pisses me off about him is the curly hair. Riley’s curly hair was so fricking cute. And then I want to shave his curly hair because he doesn’t fricking deserve it.”

Today I began reading Timothy Egan’s “ A Fever in the Heartland.”
After only 5 chapters, I am thoroughly disturbed, dare I say, horrified not just by the history, but also the rhymes in current events and trends.

Richard Grenell out as Kennedy Center president The Trump loyalist who led the arts institution through a year of upheaval leaves months before the center is scheduled to be shut down for renovations.

Like a mob bust-out gone wrong, Trumpsters’ looting of the Kennedy Center has put it out of business, and now it needs to be “closed for renovations” as cover-up. No surprise he’s being replaced. www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

Lately I have been experimenting with black and white photos. Having taken some locally, it made me realize that most of my childhood memories from here are in black and white. I thought about it for a minute and recalled how gray it always seemed. Pre EPA for sure.

It’s true for a number of people, enticed by “the American” dream; who get here and realize: this is it? I’ve made a terrible mistake.

BREAKING: Trump deploys a Marine Expeditionary Unit to Iran. About 2,500 Marines, armored infantry, artillery, and an amphibious assault ship are moving into a war already spiraling.

If this isn’t pre-staging for boots on the ground, what is?

And the way Jen Psaki is dragging Trump for filth 🔥

Instead of blowing up things in Iran, the federal government could have spent $11 billion in a week paying the entire household incomes for everyone in these counties. www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

He was detained for 104 days. A year later, he's still fighting for the right to free speech The case of Khalil, who was detained last March, sits at the vanguard of a battle of immigrants' due process and civil rights, and the Trump administration's mass detention and deportation policies.

I was thinking something similar this morning.i can't believe that this is what the average Israeli wants much like the average American doesn't want war with Iran, rabid ICE gestapo, etc.

What came to mind was Never Forget.

Iran-linked hackers take aim at U.S. and other targets, raising risk of cyberattacks during war Hackers supporting Iran claimed responsibility for a significant cyberattack Wednesday against U.S. medical device company Stryker.

Pro-Iranian hackers attack sites in the Middle East and have begun to spread to the U.S. during the war, raising the risk that U.S. defense contractors, power plants, and water plants will be trapped in a wave of digital chaos that could expand if Tehran's allies join the contest.

Don’t ever think that we voted for this. Our elections are a ruse. They have never been free or fair. They are manipulated to manufacture consent for terrorism. They’re not even using Congress. None of this is legitimate. None of this was the fault of the American people. The oligarchs did this.

“Take your mafioso chief of staff, go to Mar-a-Lago, and leave us here — because we are more like the brave ones from Minnesota”

Wall art at Union Market in DC reads, “OPERATION EPSTEIN FURY.”

Look closer. Fallen soldiers’ names: Nicole Amor, Declan Coady, Noah Tietjens. Each marked, “DID NOT HAVE TO DIE.”

And at the bottom, the gut punch: “FIGHTING IRAN FOR THE EPSTEIN CLASS.”

Good news! The global strategic oil reserve is being released. That’s 400 million barrels.

How much oil does the world use? 100 million barrels.

A day.

So that’s…Sunday to Thursday covered.
