Israel's Attack on the US: A "Cover-up?" YouTube video by Zeteo

In 1967, Israeli attacked the USS Liberty. The deadliest attack on a US ship since WWII. Survivors say the truth was covered up.

Polling Shows Democrats Aren't Too 'Woke,' They're Too Weak The idea that Democrats are weirdly and extremely obsessed with "identity politics" and pronouns is a right wing propaganda fiction not supported by polling data, and Democratic party leaders should n...

Over at the newsletter I wrote about how establishment Democrats' problem isn't going "too far left" on "identity politics," it's being feckless invertebrates in the face of autocracy and unchecked corporate power.

‘Dark, like our future’: Iranians describe scenes of catastrophe after Tehran’s oil depots bombed Residents report terror of smoke-filled city, from potentially toxic rain, air and water to food scarcity and difficulty of escape

“Tehran is burning. And smoke has filled the streets. It’s impossible to drive out of the city right now and even with the windows closed, heavy smoke is making its way inside."

Read every word.

U.S. Tomahawk Hit Naval Base Beside Iranian School, Video Shows The evidence contradicts President Trump’s claim that Iran was responsible for a strike at the school that killed 175 people, most of them children.

Breaking News: New video adds to evidence that a U.S. missile likely hit an Iranian school where 175 people, many of them children, were reportedly killed.

Screenshot of an X post by Jeremy Loffredo saying Trump told CNN’s Dana Bash that liberating the Iranian people is not a goal of the war and that he would accept an undemocratic religious leader if they treated the U.S. and Israel “fairly.” Below is a CNN image of the White House with a graphic saying Trump told CNN he is not worried whether Iran becomes a democracy.

So, like Venezuela, but a lot bloodier and costlier. Great. All for what?

Like clock work. Whenever Republicans run the government, they trash the economy for working people. Prices go up. 10 of the last 11 recessions were under Republican Presidents.

Good for the mega corporations and billionaires, bad for everyone else.

Screenshot of video of children burning Lionel Messi jerseys

When I watched a smiling Lionel Messi applauding Trump’s cartoon villain bloodlust, I thought about Muhammad Ali going on international television to deliver his poem condemning the Attica prison massacre, telling the world that fascists would never conquer the human spirit.

Dexter Sol Ansell dressed as his character Egg for World Book Day at his school.

“On my way to school for world book day - dressed as myself.”

Maybe you could put them on the front of the jerseys.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

To put it into fandom-speak: Folks who thought they were the Rebels are waking up to the fact that they’re actually The Empire. Y’all thought you were Avengers, and turns out you’re Hydra. You thought you were the Fellowship, and somehow you’re Sauron’s little bish.

Indeed.

I understand why soccer teams have kit sponsors. I'm not telling them to stop having kit sponsors. They help the players get paid what they deserve, so it's fine.

But.

The way I do not want to pay $100 for the privilege of being a billboard for an insanely dogshit company lmao

People are always like what’s something you miss from the past and one of mine is antitrust laws

These would be more beautiful if they didn’t have that Ring sponsor. Just saying.

Really really need y’all to get a new sponsor.

Tax cuts for giant corporations and the super rich.

Paid for by cuts to the social safety net for everyone else.

Teen Beauty Queens Say Trump Walked In On Them Changing “Don’t worry, ladies, I’ve seen it all before.”

Thinking about how
1) Trump bragged about sexually assaulting women
2) Many women have come forward to say he sexually assaulted them
3) Trump bragged about entering pageant dressing rooms
4) Five women say he entered the dressing room for their *teen* pageant

And this is why they all have their teeth

I hope half of them say they had to stay home and wash their hair. For a boomer, that cuts *deep*.

Still blows my mind that my medication, Emgality, is like $1,000 with insurance but if I print out a special cheat code from the manufacturer's website its $35. And they don't automatically give this cheat code to people so that elderly and sick people end up accidentally paying full price.

Writer folks: this magazine is little but mighty (much like Moonlit Getaway) and it needs your eyes and your submissions.

So the women’s team only inspires the next generation of girls to play hockey but the men’s team inspires all Americans, got it got it got it.

Mitch McConnell is taking a beating in the race to replace him Three GOP candidates, all former McConnell interns, are keeping their distance as they seek to align with President Donald Trump.

The Senate primary to replace 83-year-old Mitch McConnell shows how profoundly the GOP base in his home state has soured on one of the most powerful and significant political figures in Kentucky history.
