A U.S. official said American military strikes on Iran were underway.

Remember when Congress authorized the use of force against Iran?

Me neither.

Any U.S. attack on Iran would violate U.S. and international law.

So the DOD started laser testing because they believed party balloons were drones, shut down all of El Paso airspace, and blamed it on Mexican cartels?

Airports across Asia have increased screening after a Nipah virus outbreak in India.

5 cases were reported in West Bengal, prompting surveillance in Thailand, Nepal and Taiwan. About 100 people are quarantined.

WHO warns Nipah can be fatal, with a 40–75% case fatality rate.

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping.

DANISH PARLIAMENT MEMBER: β€œπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ had 30 bases on Greenland, why did you leave? You can resume that tomorrow without attacking a NATO ally… the rationale lacks factual foundation and doesn’t stand any logic testing.”

(Unless the point is to hurt us and end NATO, a Putin/Xi goal)

JD Vance: "The way that we control Venezuela is we control the purse strings, we control the energy resources. And we tell the regime, 'You're allowed to sell the oil so long as you serve America's national interests.'"

β€œAnd if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed – if all records told the same tale – then the lie passed into history and became truth. β€˜Who controls the past,’ ran the Party slogan, β€˜controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.’”

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

In a sane world after a deadly shooting committed by a federal agent, we could count on a decent response from a chastened federal govt. Instead, we can count on the Trump regime in Homeland Security and DOJ to lie about what happened. This is beyond appalling, as is the horrific act itself.

The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University.

(And this is Renee from confirmed socials- a photo of a different woman with red lipstick is going around, but that was a classmate.)

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

Listen:
you must keep up with the news
that unfortunate soul
in Washington state
who contracted avian influenza
did not contract H5N1
but H5N5,
and though it is important
to recognize the difference
this is not a difference
that should make you feel any better.

Gov. Josh Green said so far no damage has been recorded as tsunami waves reached Oahu, Hawaii's most populous island, but it will take hours of observation before authorities can determine whether the event has passed.

Hawaii has downgraded their tsunami warnings to advisories.
