Thank you for connecting. Since you are traveling I'm guessing you're on the moo-ve?

(Sorry, couldn't help it).

Live updates: Russia provided Iran with information that can help Tehran strike US military, AP sources say U.S. President Donald Trump called for Iran's "unconditional surrender" Friday as Israeli warplanes pounded Lebanon and the Islamic Republic, and oil prices rise.

Is Putin getting the information from the GRU, from errant signal calls with Pete Kegsbreath, or from Tulsi?

OpenAI to work with Pentagon after Anthropic dropped by Trump over company’s ethics concerns CEO Sam Altman claims military will not use AI product for autonomous killing systems or mass surveillance

Looking forward to the international war crimes tribunal that extends beyond trials for criminally corrupt authoritarian leaders and military leaders blindly following illegal orders -into the execs at AI companies when their autonomous killing systems go awry.

You know who won't be fighting in the Middle East?

Trump and his billionaire enablers who will do anything he wants in exchange for a tax haven or evisceration of societal protections.

I am beyond disgust.

How many countries does the lawless Trump/Vance administration need to threaten?

How many missiles does the United States need to launch to bury the Epstein-Trump-Maxwell investigation?

How many people need to die to pay for Trump's incompetence, corruption, and crimes?

Countries have an absolute right to defend themselves.

This was a preemptive strike. And why? In the midst of diplomacy and negotiation progress.

So no. I am not in favor. Not Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Canada, Greenland, or preemptively attacking any nation.

M&A Alert: Trump/Zeldin Complete Sale of EPA to Fossil Fuel Industry The Billion Dollar Transaction

If you care about who breathes clean air and who doesn’t, read this carefully. This isn’t just deregulation. It’s about shifting the cost of industrial pollution onto our children and our frontline communities. #trump #zeldin #epa #corruption #climate

The Auctioning of Freedom What is Freedom?

My latest considers political operatives who characterize rugged individualism as "freedom/good" and community as "socialism/bad", media platforms that amplify the message, & the result: Too many who advocate for privilege convinced they're fighting for freedom.

I no longer refer to them as a Supreme Court.

They are now the Roberts Court -until such time as those purely beholden to the interests of wealth and hyper-partisanship are removed and replaced by those who are committed to justice.

Amen.
We need to plan, organize, and execute a nationwide general strike and coordinated economic boycott until this lawless Administration is brought to justice -along with all of their enablers.

The Constitution doesn't defend itself from Trump's Abuse of Power, the fealty of the GOP-controlled Congress, and the corrupted Roberts Court.

It is up to "We the People".

Someone just called tiny Nazi wannabe Greg Bovino β€œ1/3 Reich” and I can’t stop laughing.

I suppose Bovino is an expert in small arms weapons?

Trump threatens Canada with a 100% tariff over its China trade deal and escalates feud with Carney President Donald Trump is threatening to impose a 100% tariff on goods imported from Canada if America’s northern neighbor goes ahead with its trade deal with China.

The criminal elect is big mad that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is a states person.

PM Carney should state Canadians deserve trade stability with a reliable partner, not a country led by a felon threatening the sovereignty of others while brutalizing Americans

Dear Prime Minister Carney,

Please stop making America envious. While Canada and Mexico have elected intelligent, competent, and well-qualified leaders, we elected an incompetent, deranged, malignant narcissist. He was elevated by billionaires, racists, and the willfully ignorant.

Thanks, America
