"1,2, 3 what are we fighting for?
" Don't ask me, I don't give a damn
Next stop: Viet Nam!"
And we still don't know what we're fighting for.
As ever, nothing good.

Federal judge rules Trump administration's actions to dismantle Voice of America illegal
Kari Lake hasn't rec'd Senate confirmation, thus has no authority to act due to laws against unqualified government appointments.
Lake reaction was also unqualified.

Alabama set to execute 75yo man who did not kill anyone
“I didn’t assist nobody. I didn’t aid nobody. I didn’t tell nobody to shoot nobody.”
But #SCOTUS approved him being executed for a murder committed by someone else during a robbery anyway.

This is how much Trump cares about US soldiers:
Picture 1: While Russia is providing intelligence to Iran that increases Iran’s chances of killing US soldiers…
Picture 2: … Trump’s government is lifting secondary sanctions so Putin can sell more oil.
Climate breakdown is occurring more rapidly with the heating rate almost doubling, according to research that excludes the effect of natural factors behind the latest scorching temperatures.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.
He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.
Today, Michelle and I are proud to announce that we will be hosting the dedication ceremony for the Obama Presidential Center on June 18th in Chicago, and welcoming the public on June 19th.
We can’t wait for you to visit. Go to obama.org to learn more.

Just a couple of weeks ago. Trump hung a photo of himself with Putin in the White House.
It'd be interesting to know if that was BEFORE or AFTER he'd made the decision to declare war on #Iran.

Trump is finally acting on the old Moscow daydream where Washington gets Venezuela and Putin gets Ukraine — and somehow we’re supposed to pretend that bombing Caracas is about democracy, not a loyalty test to his favorite autocrat.
Trump didn’t suddenly wake up wanting to “liberate” Venezuela; he’s cashing in on a years‑old Kremlin idea that the U.S. could be “given” Caracas in exchange for looking the other way on Ukraine.

Waiting for the administration to say the spike in gas prices isn't actually a big deal because so many Americans are losing their jobs and won't have to drive to work anymore.
Indigenous people in Papua, Indonesia, have helped scientists track down two species that were thought to have gone extinct thousands of years ago: a relative of Australia’s greater glider and a palm-sized possum with a bizarre, elongated finger.
It was ALWAYS the Department of Defense.
Who cares what illegal, juvenile behavior Trump's puppet, Hegseth, may have undertaken.
DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.
He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.
The grift continues.
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
Per The Guardian report on BBC News "a remarkable amount of leaking on the American side" claims Trump's in conversations w/ #Cuba about a US takeover, Trump thinking Marco Rubio would make "a good president."
Jeezus. Trump et al are on a global king making spree.
As appalling as it is dangerous.
Trump's buddy, Putin, is giving assistance to Iran's war effort by providing it with Intel on US military targets.

-92,000 jobs in February... chart shows sluggish and negative job gains after early 2025
Tells a story, doesn't it.
From @thejfreakinc.bsky.social on Dead🐦2hrs ago:
🚨BREAKING: An #ICE agent threatened to kill a U.S. citizen for driving through a neighborhood, in Cold Spring, #Minnesota.

Looong post, but worth reading.
Or cut to the chase, view the car cam vid of the encounter yourself.
Very bracing!
When you push em to hurry up, corners get cut, lives get lost
PLAN BETTER: that's the better approach and the real solution
Also, don't start wars you're not ready for
Better yet, don't start wars, full stop.
