An Aussie reply to Trump’s rant about ‘NATO not being there for us’:
“Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
"NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth.”

POTUS is laying out two courses of action—a negotiated settlement, or a major escalation.
There is a third option, and he should take it: recognize there is no way to force a positive outcome and simply leave.
The region is not ours to fix. President Reagan chose this path in Lebanon in ‘84, withdrawing U.S. forces after the Beirut barracks bombing once it became clear the mission’s stabilization goals could not be met, effectively ending direct American military involvement and avoiding a deeper quagmire and long-term entrenchment in the region.
A negotiated settlement is unlikely to work or be taken seriously by the Iranians unless we make concessions on the enrichment issue. As we saw yesterday in the SOH, the IRGC is empowered to act without the consent of the civilian leadership, so it’s likely they won’t honor any deal reached.
A major escalation will lead to a very destructive outcome for Iran, the region, and eventually the U.S. If POTUS chooses brute force and targets civilian infrastructure, we will create another generation of radicalized Iranians who will rally around the regime and escalate the war by any means possible.
If POTUS opts to strike the civilian infrastructure, declare victory, and then leave, we will only further erode our standing in the world, the petrodollar, and eventually our status as the world’s reserve currency holder. We need to get out now.
Don’t double down on failure. Avoid the sunken cost trap, leave now, and put America’s interests first.

@TruthTrumpPost Total fucking bullshit, You fucking warmongers.
Your best intelligence analysts have already made it clear to the entire world that Iran was never close to making a nuke.

Eu podia morar em qualquer lugar do mundo...
Nova York. Miami. Lisboa. Dubai.
Escolhi o Brasil 🇧🇷 Moro em Florianópolis.
Passei os últimos 12 anos indo e voltando entre os Estados Unidos e o Brasil. Cada vez que voltava pros EUA, a contagem regressiva pra voltar começava no aeroporto.
Aqui eu janto com amigos às 22h numa terça-feira e ninguém olha o relógio.
Aqui o desconhecido no elevador puxa conversa de verdade, não só "how are you" com resposta automática.
Aqui o churrasquinho de calçada às 18h com um guaraná gelado tem mais qualidade de vida do que qualquer restaurante de US$200 em Manhattan.
Aqui eu saio de casa de chinelo, tomo um café na padaria da esquina, e volto caminhando pela mar.
Aqui a natureza não é um parque que você visita no fim de semana. É a sua vida. Praia, montanha, trilha, cachoeira... tudo a 20 minutos.
Nos Estados Unidos, as pessoas vivem pra trabalhar. Aqui, as pessoas trabalham pra viver. E ninguém pede desculpa por isso.
O Brasil tem seus problemas. Eu sei. Eu vivo eles todo dia.
Mas nenhum problema apaga o fato de que as pessoas aqui sabem viver. Sabem rir. Sabem acolher. Sabem transformar qualquer momento num momento bom.
Isso não se compra. Não se exporta. Não se replica.
É por isso que eu estou aqui.

@JamesTate121 Your daughter committed suicide for people who don’t give a flying fuck about her. I’m sorry you lost her - but no one can be blamed but her (and possibly you, if instilled the suicidal empathy that killed her). She was 23 and an adult and made a fateful choice.
English

Our daughter, Rachel Corrie, was killed in 2003 in Gaza, while trying to protect a Palestinian home facing illegal destruction by the Israeli military. She was 23 years old. The massive, armored Caterpillar D-9 bulldozer that crushed her was operated by two Israeli soldiers and manufactured in the United States. It was the same type of militarized bulldozer that US presidents from George W. Bush through to Donald Trump have delivered to Israel.
Today, as the destruction of Palestinian homes has only become more commonplace, not to mention the horror of Israel’s genocide, Senator Bernie Sanders will force a vote in the Senate to try to end this cycle of death by banning the transfer of D-9 bulldozers to Israel. We hope he will not take this stand alone.
No policy can bring back those taken from us by these actions—children and other loved ones. But the Senate now has an opportunity to honor the memories of our daughter, other Americans, and thousands of Palestinian civilians killed, and to show that their deaths, and all the destruction, will no longer be condoned and funded. We hope those elected to represent us, the American people, understand the message that voting to block these D-9 bulldozers will send. This will not be a symbolic gesture, but a concrete step toward the protection of human life.
