I kid you not... The same White House that forgot that invading Iran might lead it to close the Strait of Hormuz, is now arguing (through Peter Navarro) that war with Iran is a good idea because it'll prevent Iran from closing the Strait of Hormuz.

Six years ago, police burst into Breonna Taylor’s home in the middle of the night and took a life that should still be here today.

Justice delayed, accountability denied, and her name still carries the weight of a system that failed her.

We remember Breonna Taylor. #SayHerName

This is very bad. Handing CNN to Bari Weiss/David Ellison is very, very bad.

Joe Biden fixed the supply chain gaps Trump fucked up in his first term during the pandemic.

Combination of Trump's illegal tariffs and undeclared war of aggression against Iran will make the Covid supply chain crisis seem insignificant.

In other news, Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

Pete Hegseth targeted CNN during the same briefing in which he discussed the deaths of four more Americans in Trump's war, saying: "The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better."

He is just making things up, and the whole world knows the truth. The United States has never looked weaker because of these lies and his complete lack of a plan or strategy. Wars cannot be won with gaslighting and Truth Social posts.

oh this is why Hegseth was so big mad at CNN this morning

"Trump’s national security team failed to fully account for the potential consequences of what some officials have described as a worst-case scenario now facing the administration, the sources said."

The GOP continues to treat accountability like an inconvenience, but democracy only works when the rules apply to everyoneβ€”including those at the top.

REI walked away from negotiations with the @reiunion.bsky.social, refusing to pay union and non-union employees the same wage, unacceptably demanding union employees take less. Now they're proceeding with benefit and wage cuts against union members. If you're a member of REI, tell them to eat shit.

REI also outfitted ICE in Minneapolis this winter, in case you need another reason to stop shopping there.

The thousands of feds were easier to spot at first because they very obviously weren't dressed for the cold, and that stood out. Then, they went shopping, and REI was happy to sell to them.

"During the Biden admin., the Defense Dept. created the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response initiative. The civilian mitigation teams – cut by 90% by Hegseth – work with military commanders on target planning, and making sure that targets are actually military sites." www.npr.org/2026/03/11/n...

The Alexander brothers worked as a team to drug women so they could rape them, often as a group. Their crimes were a well-known secret in the real estate business. They partied with Jeffery Epstein along with Donald Trump. They attended event's at Trump's Mar a Lago.

Murphy: I have great sympathy for our soldiers and our military leaders they are being given directions by a senile old man who is losing his mind. And so it's no surprise that this war is going horribly

First 6 days of Iran war cost $11.3 billion, Pentagon tells Congress Officials briefed the Senate Appropriations subcommittee on defense. One senator said he believes the cost is higher since the figure didn't include aspects like munitions replacement.

$11,300,000,000 in just 6 days.

That’s how much the Trump administration is spending on a war with no clear objectives.

In comparison, funding for the ACA tax credits that Republicans relentlessly blocked would have cost ~$30B for a full year.

So, Russia, who is actively aiding Iran in targeting US troops, is getting a helping hand from the Trump admin. I was told this was all in my head.

They either didn't know Iran would shut down the Strait of Hormuz or they knew and didn't have a plan.

Either way - just totally clear they don't give a damn about what this war means for hardworking Americans.
