Ballot Boxed Out

I guess nobody has read H.J.Res.542 - War Powers Resolution of 1973. It does NOT allow for 60 days to pursue unconstitutional introduction of US Armed Forces into hostilities. It doesn't matter if the clock has "stopped" or not congress.gov/bill/93rd-cong…

One of the nastiest cases of “f*ck around and find out” just went down in Korean MMA Straight out of a movie 😳

@tparsi Find you a girl to love you as unconditionally as MBZ loves Israel

"The OPEC exit is the result of a geopolitical posture that now sets Abu Dhabi apart not just from Riyadh but from the Gulf consensus more broadly. The UAE has concluded that its interests are best served by acting as a sovereign actor rather than a cartel member. Whether that calculation proves correct depends on how the war ends and what regional architecture emerges from it. One thing the OPEC decision makes unmistakably clear is that the old Gulf compact, built on shared institutions and the fiction of unified interests, is over." - @ahandjani foreignpolicy.com/2026/05/01/uae…

Israeli crimes in Greek search-and-rescue waters are a new low for the occupying forces and their allies. This is no longer complicity, it is active participation. After intercepting our boats on the high seas, the occupier forcibly transferred participants to Crete, brutalising and beating them along the way. All were released except two: Saif Abukeshek and Thiago Ávila, who were taken on an Israeli military vessel to occupied Palestine, where they remain in custody. Given Israel’s record of torture, we fear for their safety. Both Saif and Thiago are on hunger strike in protest of their illegal abduction and torture. Their court hearing will take place on Sunday morning. Free Saif and Thiago.

@ryangrim Are we going to have to draft American dolphins?

Thing that aired credulously on American TV

@kaitlancollins @ksadjadpour Our state media is getting so dumbed

"To give you a sign of the desperate measures [Iran is] contemplating, the Wall Street Journal reported today that they're contemplating suicide dolphins, you know, dolphins equipped with mines to try to go after U.S. ships," @ksadjadpour says. "That's not a that's not a measure which projects real strength."

Pacing on the Gamebred card is fantastic #gamebredfc

@unusual_whales Who are the 23%?

77 percent blame Trump for gas prices, per the Hill

Listening to @BrendanSchaub and @jimmysmithmma dying right now #gamebredfc

🚨We are deeply concerned for the safety of activists #SaifAbuKeshek and #ThiagoAvila who are being taken to #Israel for questioning after being arbitrarily detained by the Israeli military after the unlawful interception of the #GlobalSumudFlotilla vessels in international waters. 🚨The two activists were participating in a peaceful solidarity mission aiming to break Israel's unlawful blockade of the #Gaza Strip and deliver aid to Palestinians struggling to survive under Israel’s genocide and unlawful occupation. 🚨They are at great risk of human rights abuses, including torture and other ill-treatment given @amnesty's previous documentation of the abuse inflicted on flotilla activists detained in October 2025 at the hands of the Israeli authorities 🚨It is especially concerning that Saif Abu Keshek, a Palestinian-Spanish-Swedish national, is being detained on suspicion of affiliation with a terrorist organization given Israel's discriminatory laws and persistent record of harassment and oppression of Palestinians under Israel’s system of apartheid. Israel must immediately release them and ensure they are protected while in custody. 🚨Israel’s defiance of international law must end. The ICJ has been clear: Israel’s #occupation is #unlawful and must be brought to an end. States must act now to restore some faith in international law by holding Israel accountable for its violations and crimes.

A recorded testimony from one of our participants about the harsh treatment they endured after their abduction in international waters. When they were sent to Crete against their will they non-violently resisted the IOF’s refusal to allow Saif Abukeshek and Thiago Ávila join them. Saif and Thiago remain in their custody. We demand their immediate release.

@gbsumudflotilla @X labeling the evidence of Israeli torture as graphic content to lower the spread. Who could possibly be surprised?

Our participants have been brutalized from head to toe by IOF soldiers in Greek waters—while the Greek coast guard and Foreign Ministry stood by. This is not complicity, this is collaboration. If they will allow israeli brutality here, it’s never been clearer that they will never impede it in Palestine, or anywhere. IT’S ALWAYS BEEN UP TO US. The people must continue to rise for our siblings in Palestine and against this unprecedented compromise of European sovereignty and democracy.

More than 200 activists from the Global Sumud Flotilla who were seized at sea by Israeli forces and taken to the Greek island of Crete were released earlier today, with photos showing visible injuries including bruising, cuts, and swelling; participants say they were beaten and abused in custody.

Israeli soldiers torture innocent and unarmed humanitarians. No word from anybody in Western media or politics. Disgraceful

@DD_Geopolitics So, how did the murder of ~80 people and kidnapping of the head of state free the Venezuelan people? Gusanos, we're waiting? When are you moving back?

🇻🇪When asked about a timeline for elections, Acting Venezuelan President Rodriguez responded: “I don’t know, sometime.”

This is regime change that benefits Venezuelans? Any word from the Gusanos?

This article does not have one identified source. I don't believe a word of it Iran’s new proposal for resuming peace talks with the U.S. drops demand for an upfront end to the blockade but President Trump says he still isn’t satisfied wsj.com/world/middle-e… via @WSJ

@RudyHavenstein When you get older than that you realize they weren't wrong, they were lying

One of the main lessons one learns as you get older...

@NikkiHaley Nobody believes you

America just crossed a dangerous milestone: our national debt now exceeds the size of our economy. Washington spends $1.33 for every $1 it takes in, with a $1.9T deficit this year alone. When the bill comes due, expect higher taxes, a weaker dollar, fewer services, a weaker military—and our kids stuck paying for it.
