The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.
A truly extraordinary moment.
We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
Act like it.

it’s unreal how these grown-ass men had no problem destroying untold lives with chatGPT but go crying to a judge when people make fun of them online
What he says…
(1) The accused declared, ordered, or otherwise indicated that there shall be no survivors or surrender accepted; (2) The accused thereby intended to threaten an adversary or to conduct hostilities such that there would be no survivors or surrender accepted; (3) It was foreseeable that circumstances would be such that a practicable and reasonable ability to accept surrender would exist; (4) The accused was in a position of effective command or control over the subordinate forces to which the declaration or order was directed; and (5) The conduct took place in the context of and was associated with hostilities.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:
Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.
And recognized as such by the US Government.
From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.
It’s almost like Putin and Netanyahu control our foreign policy.
Hahahhahahahaha toy soldier really hopes you think the military academy is the military!
It ain’t lol
HOLY SHIT.
A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.
Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?
Tip of the iceberg — data don’t lie but the admin seems ignorant
As expected 👇🏼
“Planning around preventing this exact scenario — impossible as it has long seemed — has been a bedrock principle of US national security policy for decades,” a former US official who served in Republican and Democratic administrations said. “I’m dumbfounded.”

America, land of the free? 😳
The President of the United States casually talking about destroying a country “in an hour” should chill every democracy on Earth.
This is exactly why leadership requires restraint, diplomacy, and respect for human life.👇
The genius businessman strikes again
Turning the world over to madmen. That is what is happening. Madmen.

Donald Trump endorses Jake Paul at a rally, with a cheering crowd in the background and campaign signs visible.
The right is replacing public service with influencer brain rot, corruption, and permanent spectacle. A guy tied to SEC crypto charges and riot-related FBI headlines is now the kind of person Trump thinks should govern.
Rotten from top to bottom.
French news channel, LCI, airs a split screen simultaneously showing footage of Trump dancing to YMCA in front of a rally crowd as oil fields in the
Middle East are in flames
Maybe it's just me, but I think more people should be talking about the fact that Jared Kushner helped convince Trump to start a war with Iran.
Meanwhile, Kushner's top client, Saudi Arabia, which pays Kushner $25 million+ annually, was also lobbying Trump to start a war.
I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.
Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.
The 25th is never happening.
Can also imagine in which Gore, H Clinton and K Harris won the US presidency — the world would have been completely different now (for the better)….
What are they suggesting?
Nationalising critical infrastructure?? Okay… let’s talk about the Gentailers.
Corporate welfare?
It was a failing business.
If propping up a sunset industry is the answer, you’re asking the wrong question.
I still have a pic to serve as a reminder — empty frozen section at Trader Joe’s.
Another hush money payment.
According to the RNC's new legal theory aimed at throwing out mail-in ballots, In 2000, Gore won! 👀

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.
It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.
