While Trump is begging other countries to help peopleย throughย asylum, heโ€™s essentially shut down ourย refugee and asylum system โ€” flying directly in the face of our founding ideals and the words on the Statue of Liberty: โ€œGive me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe freeโ€

because of Citizen's United, Fox News and Musk, I partly understand this evil move toward fascism. also-Greg Palast wrote about sneaky GOP voter suppression techniques that occurred in the swing states, tactics that helped Trump win the 2024 election. also-"voting machines are easy to hack." Musk

โ€˜I guess you donโ€™t know what itโ€™s like to do it all yourselfโ€™ is the key statement here.

That sound you are *not* hearing is Donald Trump rebuking his pal Vladimir Putin for providing Iran with specific locations of American troops to kill them.

Instead, Donald is *easing* sanctions on Russia.

He is despicable.

If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again โ€” Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them โ€” But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen! This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump is completely flailing. He didn't anticipate the economic blowback and now he's trying to undo the past 10 days and contain the damage.

Live Nation Settlement Spurs Chaos in Court - The American Prospect The deal contains a fairly useless set of conditions. More than two dozen states vow to continue fighting.

OK, here's our story on the wild situation in Manhattan today where the Justice Department settled a monopolization case against Live Nation without telling its own lawyers.
We got one week of testimony that was going really badly for the company. But corruption won out.

Last year, Live Nation named Richard Grenell, who is one of trumpโ€™s closest advisors to its board of directors. This administration sees nothing wrong with a huge monopoly destroying small businesses.

Wahls: The war in Iran is going to be devastating for farm states like Iowa. You mentioned diesel โ€” that is what the vast majority of farm machines, like tractors or combines, run on. And the cost of oil not only has a huge impact on fuel costs, it also has a huge impact on other farm inputs

everything was hunky-dory until 1953. thatโ€™s when shit truly went sideways, after Mossadegh broke the eleventh commandment โ€” Thou Shalt Not Fuck With Big Oil โ€” by nationalizing Iranโ€™s oil industry. our CIA and Britainโ€™s MI6 got themselves worked into a Big Mad over this, and engineered a coup that overthrew Mossadegh and turned Iran back into a monarchy, restoring Reza Pahlavi as the Shah.

the thing about the Shah of Iran is that he was a repressive piece of shit who was hated by his people, and his fuckery led to the Iranian Revolution of 1979 โ€” and thatโ€™s how Iran went from being a repressive monarchy to being a repressive theocracy. meet the new boss, yadda yadda.

thatโ€™s why weโ€™re in this mess right now โ€” because we couldnโ€™t leave well enough alone 73 years ago.

did you know Iran used to be a western-style democracy, with an elected prime minister? but then one day in 1953, the CIA ousted him in a coup, and restored the repressive and corrupt Shah to power โ€” that's REALLY how this mess all got started. you can read all about it in my post: bit.ly/4lfWn7c
