If only someone in our current regime (it’s not an administration) had known that Iran controls the Straights of Hormuz. Or what that means for oil prices and the world economy.
The GCC countries get 80% of their food through Hormuz, they aren’t gonna sit back and let Iran starve them. America and Israel will just sit back and watch.
I'm old enough to remember the gas lines. According to your license plate numbers you could only buy gas on certain days. Its coming, and GOP chose to make us live this again.
Operational Transparency: The U.S. military typically identifies deceased service members by name and unit once next-of-kin notifications are complete. A process that makes hiding hundreds of deaths practically impossible in a democratic society with an open press.

Reread that last sentence
The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...
"How will you pay for it?"
The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...
"How much do you need?"
It doesn't have to be this way.
Honey badger with his security detail 😎💙😎
Go watch “Nuremberg” (Netflix/Apple).
Make sure you share with the cult of the orange fuckwad relatives, friends, super market cashiers, dog walkers, any and everyone that it’s a must watch.
“Do you know why it happened here? Because people let it happen."
Stand before it’s too late.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
-- Theodore Roosevelt, 1918
The White House put out a series of hype videos about the war. Some have been defending it by saying military members themselves share these kinds of videos.
This is true. But they aren’t the White House. The WH is a bunch of children, and have no sobriety about the serious business of war.
This is why they treat Ukraine the way they do. No understanding, no experience, unserious people who should never have been let anywhere near the levers of power.
They did studies back when graphic video games were demonized for encouraging violence in kids. The white house is purposefully using and mixing media with reality and muddying the waters. There will be great psychological consequences for this and different reality our gov is living in!
I’m not sure how the world survives the next distraction from the Epstein files.
FYI Markwayne Mullin is not
A war veteran and never served
Two wading birds silhouetted by the light and reflected in the water's surface.
The theme for today's #BirdOfTheDay is #StandingInWater.
Gone for a bit of an arty one today. Two waders which I think are probably redshanks; bills a bit short for godwits.

Did you see this from that Southwest flight today?😲
The USA blowing up Tehran.
Please tell me about how much they care about those protestors again.
This is *nothing* dignified about wearing a cheap baseball cap that promotes yourself to the otherwise solemn ceremony to receive the bodies of the troops you had killed to distract from your bad economy and rampant pedophilia.
Julie K Brown: DOJ docs, FBI interview, allege prison guards talked about cover-up in Epstein's death
Inmate tells FBI he heard guards saying Epstein was killed
Have you seen the commercial that brought down Kristi Noem?
It’s even more bizarre than I expected.

Now arrest her for crimes against humanity and corruption
Beshear: We are building affordable housing in rural America. It looks like the average utility bill for each of those houses is going to be about $50 a month because we’re using solar panels. We’re embracing different parts of green energy in Appalachia.
Buttigieg: You’ve got money from the Middle East going into the Trump family crypto fund while you have Americans going to the Middle East for Donald Trump’s war.
The Pentagon says it's investigating the strike on the girls' school in Iran that killed over 100 ages 7-12. Somehow the war criminals investigating war crimes doesn't fill me with confidence.
Did anyone mention the EPSTEIN FILES ?
Jean Davidson, executive director of the National Symphony Orchestra since 2023, said she’s taken a job in California.
“Every American citizen must have an equal right to vote. There is no reason which can excuse the denial of that right. There is no duty which weighs more heavily on us than the duty we have to ensure that right.”
— President Lyndon B. Johnson, March 1965
A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustn’t let this war do so.
