@NathanJRobinson Cuba is under authoritarian control an even peaceful dissent is crushed. Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and UN experts, all the glorious orgs the left wing champion document these horrific conditions. Why are you not denouncing the Cuban government?

The blackout here in Cuba is eerie and disturbing. Whole streets with zero light, every window dark, and then you see shapes moving in the darkness and realize people are trying to live their lives. I cannot believe how cruel this US policy is. We could stop this.

@DefaultReece Several banks and credit unions across the nation offer zero interest free loans to workers affected by government shut downs. If you’re too ignorant to know this information you shouldn’t be doing the work you’re doing in the first place so good riddance.

After two missed paychecks I'm turning my badge in. Find somebody else to do it

@AmiriKing @KFreemanBoomer Yeah that sucks for everyone on board that a future broke ass loser made them deplane.

American Airlines wanted to put O’Dell Beckham off the plane after he passed out and was unresponsive. He was told to exit the plane and they would book him on the next flight. - OR - They would have to deplane every passenger. Guess what he chose?

@VandyTracker Jacksonville

No cheating. What team is missing? 🤔

If you voted for this man you’re a piece of shit. It ain’t even about politics he’s just a shit human being who attracts other pieces of shit.

@BaseballQuotes1 It’s Texas. Always bush league shit

Shortstop is getting a lot of heat for whipping this ball into the crowd of Auburn players celebration the walk-off Bush league or just trying to compete the play?

@historyrock_ lol how is that even a question Day 1 hands down. Day 2 is meh

@Ecnerwal23 I agree. At most he violated user agreement and could be sued for losses but criminal? Hell no

I’m trying to see what crime he committed He exploited a flaw in the system and made millions, that’s capitalism right

@TheDemocrats You said it yourself, Republicans control the house and the Senate so you don’t introduce your wish list bills you negotiate on the bills that they introduced because you are the minority

Republicans control all 3 branches of government. Democrats introduced 7 bills to fund TSA. Each one was blocked by Republicans.

@Christo97393508 @HistoricHub 🤣

This song was written in 20 minutes of pure rage after hearing how a senator got his son out of the draft for Vietnam...

@JoshEakle Ooh well. The US does not need Middle Eastern oil. Europe does those so fuck em, let it stay closed.

As it turns out, having the respect and support of your allies has real geopolitical consequences.

@hell_line0 lol More liberal pseudoscience bullshit. We don’t want to affirm your ideological bullshit

For the first time in 70 years the UN broke from consensus for the global reaffirmation of women’s rights. 37 Nations in favor & 1 against. Of course that one against the reaffirmation of women’s rights was the United States because of language that included: -diversity, equity & inclusion -the effects of climate change on women - regulations for AI -the definition of gender - the reproductive health rights of women&girls Don’t ever try to tell me this administration cares about women & girls.

@jemelehill Unless you’re perusing a STEM degree, you’re wasting your time and money. The market is saturated with liberal arts degrees. If you want to speak truth than speak it, don’t just say “go to college”.

Notice how really rich people keep encouraging people to go into trades, but none of them would want that for their own children. There’s nothing wrong with trades, but what they’re really trying to do is create a nation of service workers and laborers. People who remain in service to them. They want a much wider wealth gap than there is now. That’s why suddenly they are so anti-college and are trying to break the university system.

@SunWeatherMan I got a tax cut. Immigration has slowed Inflation has regressed. Bombing Iran isn’t ideal but the alternative would be fondling their balls I am not 100% appreciative of the current administration agenda but It’ll be a cold day in hell before I vote for the alternative.

Not true, they bent over for Israel and provided the lube they jacked from puffy’s house.

@scott73187192 @reallouiehuey @MattH_4America I got a tax cut this year. Immigration has slowed. Inflation has regressed. I really don’t care that we are bombing Iran’s theocracy. Democrats always complain about the supposed theocracy that’s being established in the US so what’s the problem?

@reallouiehuey @MattH_4America It’s because they don’t run on real policy to help people. They only run on fear and when in power look to push suppression/authoritarian laws, then pass tax cuts for the rich.

We voted for and handed the Republican party all 3 branches of government and they have done NOTHING. What a waste.

@brianschatz Looks like an accusation to me not a directive. The media is lying so their defense is why you trying to force us? How about deny the lying accusations first?

This is a clear directive to provide positive war coverage or else licenses may not be renewed. This is worse than the comedian stuff, and by a lot. The stakes here are much higher. He’s not talking about late night shows, he’s talking about how a war is covered.

@ChrisMurphyCT Hmmm They mention hoaxes and distortions. Your brain saw favorable. So we have the administration accusing media of reporting lies and yet there is no denial but a wordplay back at the accusation?

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

@HatsOffff Christ is King!

Ted Cruz thinks the phrase "Christ is King" is antisemitic. "'Chist is King' is 'I hate the Jews'."

@shanaka86 It’s the perfect move and check, but not checkmate.

BREAKING: President Trump just released the footage. The most secretive bomber in the American arsenal hitting the most valuable military real estate in Iran. And he wants the world to watch. The video published on Truth Social shows B-2 Spirit stealth bombers conducting precision strikes on Kharg Island’s military infrastructure. Runway cratering charges tear the airbase apart in sequential detonations. Multiple explosions bloom across IRGC missile launch sites, coastal defence batteries, radar installations, and garrison facilities. The footage is steady, clinical, and unmistakable. The bombs are 2,000-pound JDAMs, GPS-guided GBU-31 and GBU-32 variants, the same munitions that cratered Iraqi airfields in 2003 and Afghan command centres for two decades. They are dropped by an aircraft that Iran’s air defence network cannot detect, track, or engage. The oil terminals are visible in every frame. They are untouched. That is the message. Not the destruction. The restraint. Ninety percent of Iran’s crude exports flow through those terminals. The loading jetties stand. The storage tanks are full. The infrastructure that funds the IRGC, that pays for the Shaheds, that finances the Mosaic Doctrine’s 31 autonomous commands, that underwrites every mine on the seabed of Hormuz, is intact and one presidential decision from joining the rubble surrounding it. The B-2 Spirit was designed to penetrate Soviet air defence networks during nuclear war. It carries 40,000 pounds of ordnance inside a flying wing with a radar cross-section smaller than a bird. Twenty aircraft exist. Each costs $2.1 billion. The United States sent its most expensive, most classified, most capable strategic asset to crater a runway on a 20-square-kilometre island in the Persian Gulf because the message required the messenger. A B-52 could have dropped the same JDAMs. An F-15E could have cratered the same runway. The B-2 was chosen because its presence means Iran had no warning, no interception opportunity, and no defence. The bombs arrived before the sound. The runway cratering is tactically decisive. A cratered runway cannot launch aircraft, receive resupply, or evacuate personnel. The IRGC garrison of 250 to 500 personnel is now isolated on an island whose military defences have been destroyed, whose airstrip is inoperable, and whose only remaining value is the oil infrastructure the United States deliberately chose not to destroy. The garrison cannot be reinforced by air. It cannot project force by sea because the IRGC Navy is at the bottom of the Gulf. It exists on an island that America controls from the sky while Iran controls from the ground, and the ground shrinks every hour the runway stays cratered. The footage itself is a weapon. Trump did not release it for documentation. He released it for deterrence. Every IRGC commander watching the video sees an aircraft they cannot detect delivering ordnance they cannot stop onto an island they cannot defend. Every Iranian decision-maker watching the terminals standing untouched beside the rubble understands the conditional: the restraint is voluntary. The next strike does not need to be restrained. The strategy emerging from the strike, the Marines deployment, and the Kharg footage is sequential strangulation. Destroy the military capacity to defend the island. Crater the runway to isolate the garrison. Deploy the Tripoli ARG with 2,500 Marines and F-35Bs for air superiority and potential amphibious seizure. Hold the oil terminals as leverage for a war-ending negotiation in which Iran’s 90% export revenue becomes the ransom for every American objective: open the Strait, surrender the uranium, dismantle the enrichment programme. Iran’s crown jewel is no longer Iran’s. It is a hostage sitting on a cratered runway surrounded by rubble, guarded by a garrison that cannot be reinforced, watched by an aircraft it cannot see, and one decision away from ceasing to exist. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…
