@JoJoFromJerz regime in the class of major violators of international law, resulting in the terroristic threats, mass displacement, injury, torture, &/or mass murder vs civilians in Chechnya, Ukraine, Gaza, the West Bank, & Iran, among other places. Here's the law: /2 icrcndresourcecentre.org/wp-content/upl…

@JoJoFromJerz By verbally & specifically threatening the destruction of an entire civilization, Mr Trump has violated international law against threats or attacks against civilians & civilian infrastructure. Trump has joined Hamas, Hezbollah, Israel's Netanyahu government, & the Putin../1

He’s out of his motherfucking mind.

That is so cool!

@CrazyMomentsOnX @AMAZlNGNATURE I always marvel at humans who are able to calm agitated animals without a shared verbal language. The high-level empathy & understanding required for that skill is something I aspire to but possess only fractionally. Much respect to people who work in animal crisis-intervention!

Swans have one of the coolest water landing techniques ever

@AMAZlNGNATURE All of those thousands of real-time calculations & corrections, rooted in instinct & refined by practice, performed by a so-called "tiny" brain. Animals are *far smarter than many humans realize. Respect.

Trump says he needs another $200,000,000,000 for his war. Not for health care. Not for housing. Not for education. Instead, he's asking every family to chip in $1,400 to keep bombing Iran.

@AntiTrumpCanada @caddyman98 To Canada: millions of Americans share your revulsion at our autocrat-wannabe & his arrogant, ignorant self-interest--& we still value our True Friends to the North. Many of us are doing our level best to undercut this would-be king's bullying power & illegal profiteering. 🇺🇸🤝🇨🇦

What a fucking embarrassment. American troops are being sent into harm’s way in Iran and this fucking idiot is doing his double jerkoff dance while waving a sword, like a drunk uncle at a wedding. This is who has the nuclear codes. America is a parody.

@allenanalysis @IAmPoliticsGirl It sure smells like Drumpf lifted oil sanctions vs Putin to lower gas prices before the midterms. He's a cynical, calculating malignant mass of self-interest profit-mongering, regardless of the blood on his hands.

🚨 Ukrainian intelligence confirms: Russia shared satellite imagery of Prince Sultan US Air Base in Saudi Arabia with Iran — right before Iran struck it and injured American troops. Russia gave Iran the targeting data. Iran used it to hit Americans. Trump lifted sanctions on Russia the same week this war started. The EU confirmed Russia is providing intelligence to Iran to kill Americans. Now Ukrainian intelligence confirms the specific targeting data for the Prince Sultan strike came from Russian satellites. Russia helped Iran hit an American base. Trump’s response: silence. No condemnation. No consequences. No sanctions restored.

@mburm201 @emptywheel @StephenM 1st, please share your 'massive evidence'; 2nd, the Civil Rights activists in the '50s & '60s showed us that public opinion veers toward peaceful protestors & away from gov-hired thugs w/attack dogs, gas, billy clubs, & firearms. #NonviolenceIsPowerful

@emptywheel @StephenM Do you have any credible sources? There is MASSIVE evidence of organized protest groups training agitators to force confrontations with federal law officers doing their legal duty.

The Daily Mail says that @StephenM ordered DHS to cause confrontations with protestors in advance of the Alex Pretti murder.

@emptywheel @sandibachom @StephenM @StephenM should be subpoenaed for questioning before Congress. @LeaderJohnThune @MikeJohnson @amyklobuchar

@emptywheel @StephenM ..cocktail toward enforcement, giving them the excuse to 'counterattack' the group. "AP"s can also infiltrate meetings & comms to agitate/raise tempers&/or tar the group w/"violent rhetoric", drawing gov surveillance & action. #AvoidPastMistakes /2

@emptywheel @StephenM Today's protestors can benefit mightily & directly from studying past protests & their groups. Oppressors often hire 'Agents provocateurs' to goad peaceful protestors into violence-or, as seen in "One Battle After Another", an agent mixed w/protestors & hurled a Molotov../1

Wow. Wow. Like the nightmare I had when I first read that terrifying & important book.

According to documents filed this morning by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of NY, ICE has been lying for a year — not only to the public, but to the courts and to prosecutors — about being authorized to make arrests at 26 Federal Plaza and other immigration courts. This is genuinely a bombshell. All courthouse arrests should cease immediately. There should be a Congressional investigation & civil rights actions for every illegal abduction of immigrants trying to follow the rules and appear in court.

So, @GOP : This national air-travel mess comes because you won't compromise over making ICE wear functioning body cams & *not wear masks?!? The agents who brought in drug cartel bosses Escobar & el Chapo showed their faces.--?!? ⚖️🇺🇸

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYY FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Hey, eff.org et al: Given the reports about ICE & DHS scooping up Americans' personal data, is this what's behind the odd move of posting ICE to US airports, possibly checking travellers' IDs?!?

Let me explain what just happened 👇 5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil. 5 minutes… These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch. There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made. Someone in that room picked up a phone. And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars. American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it. This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions. This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight. You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question. Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that. The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…
