Trump was asked whether oil tankers are now safe to use the strait of Hormuz.
Trump: I think they should. I think they should. I think they should use the Strait. Look, we took out just about all of their mine ships…
A few hours later…
2 oil tankers set on fire in the strait.
In addition to oil, the war has bottled up the world’s main supply of sulphuric acid, setting back a lot of heavy industrial supply chains. theoregongroup.com/commodities/...

Had to update my profile pic to a more suitable expression to express how I feel about the current situation.
TODAY: After Sen. Oliver got the “Homes Not Hedge Funds Act” housing bill passed in the senate 31-1, the house version died in sub when @aftynbehn.bsky.social couldn’t get a 2nd to hear it
2 Dems she ran against in TN-7 were on the committee: Dixie gave a motion. Mitchell didn’t give a 2nd.

(From @andertoon.bsky.social )
BREAKING: The usually snarky White House account has not responded to Iran’s attacks on social media! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Why is it spicy?! 🌶️🐸
I can understand the Trump people, idiotically, not making a plan. But it’s unfathomable to me that CENTCOM didn’t have a plan in the files somewhere from a more competent era of American governance. What have generations of Pentagon war planners been doing?

WATCH — @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “Every dollar we spend bombing people in the Middle East is one we’re not spending here at home. We’re always told we don’t have enough money for schools or healthcare or for veterans, but there’s always enough to bomb people on the other side of the world.”
WATCH — @warnock.senate.gov : “Trump has attacked 7 countries in the first year of his presidency, more than any president in the modern era.”

VIRGINIA - offensive/deceptive mailers from GOP operatives are targeting Black voters with civil rights imagery evoking Jim Crow to scare people into voting NO on their redistricting and help Republicans rig the 2026 midterms.

Ex-Israeli negotiator Daniel Levy: “Is this strategy of extremism likely to play out well for 🇮🇱 or 🇺🇸? Israel doesn’t want regime change. It wants regime collapse and chaos, and regional domination.”
CNN headline: “Analysis suggests US was responsible for deadly strike on Iranian elementary school”
The New York Times headline: “U.S. Tomahawk Hit Naval Base Beside Iranian School, Video Shows”
Reuters headline: “Exclusive: US investigation points to likely US responsibility in Iran school strike, sources say”
southpaw on Bluesky: “Trump's slanderous accusation that Iran and not his own government committed this horrific atrocity in Minab was obviously going to be untenable, and it's already falling apart in a way that will tarnish America's reputation around the world.”
Trump doesn’t want the American people to know our tax dollars paid for the bombs that obliterated an Iranian elementary school.
One parent could only identify their 11-year-old daughter by her backpack.
imo it's very important not to use the normal verbs that connect speech events to intentions, promises, etc., for Trump. he simply does not "claim", "commit", "deny", "retract", etc. anything. he produces utterances!
Trump did not announce a U.S. policy then walk it back. That is not what happened, and media presenting it that way does a disservice.
Trump said words he thought might appeal to his audience in the moment, with no connection to actual policy, then did that again with a different question/asker.
GOP: The party of unfettered criminality and slayer of constitutional rights rears its ugly head once again.

Screenshot of The Guardian ‘The cover-up is brazen’: one journalist’s tenacious, traumatic fight to expose Ghislaine Maxwell Lucia Osborne-Crowley has endured threats and sexual harassment to report on Jeffrey Epstein’s chief enabler. Maxwell’s conviction was only the start of the quest for justice, she says
🚨 'This is her frustration: the coverage centres Epstein, Maxwell & Windsor & tries to unpack their psychology & connections, finding it easier to talk about political corruption than sexual abuse. The human collateral gets lost, as does the survivors’ agency.'

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.
