I hate Trump as much as anyone but this time he’s just saying out loud what US interference has been in SA and elsewhere forever.

Beautiful wood signs! Perfect paint job!

Clearly the work of crafty anarchists because nothing says ‘violent uprising’ like coordinated font choices and consistent kerning.

Someone check on Grandpa; the dementia’s crafting its own conspiracy theories again.

Tim Walz: "It's almost unimaginable that he's got Milei in there, giving him $20 billion, so that they can undercut us and China can buy their soybeans from them. And now China has learned they can replace our markets."

You don't get a noble peace prize for making a real estate deal to build beach resorts on Palestinian land for Evangelicals.

And,

you don't get a noble peace prize when you have declared war on your own citizens.

Greta Thunberg provides the perspective that most western media will not:

It’s not about a few hundred foreign nationals being mistreated by Israel for a few days.

It’s about the #GazaGenocide, deliberate denial of aid, and Israel’s flagrant breaches of international law.

Update on Boomertifa from the war zone.

Elizabeth Warren: "If fighting to reduce the cost of healthcare and avoid a coming catastrophe is not worth fighting for, then I don't know what is."

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better."

Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better.

Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand.

We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

GOD DAMN.

Alt text: a political cartoon of a massive man in a military dress uniform, his chest covered in a hilarious amount of rank, ribbons, & medals, looks down his nose at a teeny tiny little man in a blue suit. The little tiny man, labeled "Pete Hegseth," asks, "HOW MANY PUSH-UPS CAN YOU DO?"

That's all that happened folks

Trump wraps up a speech to military leaders that represented a major escalation of his effort to weaponize the armed forces into a tool he can use to violently quash domestic dissent. Hard to imagine how anyone with a shred of dignity can keep serving after this, which of course is the point.

That vile, racist AI video Trump dropped last night made it loud and clear: he has zero interest in stopping the shutdown, so the countdown continues.

This is Trump’s shutdown!

I turned it off after he said “firsts” like first woman general (my words) was woke crap and “no dudes in dresses.” What an insulting propaganda display of bad manners and cruelty.

Jimmy Kimmel:

“Trump is an old-fashioned ’80s-movie-style bully, taking your lunch money ― and if you give it to him once, he’ll take it again. Two things he loves, lunch and money.

"Rooting for this bully... I don't care what side you're on. It's like rooting for Biff in 'Back to the Future.'"

I truly hope there is Sanity in this room

America: let’s put a moronic criminal in charge of our finest men and women in uniform.

Also America: let’s hope our finest men and women in uniform do not listen to the moronic criminal we put in charge of them.

Whooping cough cases are rapidly rising in Louisiana. The vaccine-preventable infection has already caused 2 deaths of infants. State leaders say it's the "worst whooping cough outbreak in the past 30 yrs." There has been no public health assistance from the CDC, which is now controlled by RFK jr👇

It's almost like DOGE was complete bullshit.

Republican Ryan Walters, Oklahoma’s top public schools official who lauded Trump and pledged to put a Turning Point USA chapter in every high, is resigning to lead a conservative educators’ group.

“We’re going to destroy the teachers unions,” Walters said on Fox. apnews.com/article/okla...
