Many of us could have said “we told you so” pretty much every embarrassing day of Trump’s presidency. We live in a world of consequences where actions spawn reactions. Entrusting a psychotic delusional felon with the ship of state? The worst, most dangerous event of this century
Christiane Amanpour@amanpour

“We are manufacturing a whole new generation of terrorists in the Middle East,” former U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel tells me, saying the Trump administration's conduct of its war in Iran appears to him unprecedented.

Voyager hit a 90,000°F wall at the solar system’s edge. NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft crossed one of the most dramatic frontiers in the cosmos: the heliopause, the tenuous boundary where the Sun’s influence finally gives way to interstellar space. What the probe discovered there was astonishing—a turbulent zone of superheated plasma with temperatures soaring between 30,000 and 90,000 °F (roughly 17,000–50,000 °C). This wasn’t a physical wall or barrier, but a dynamic transition region where the outward-flowing solar wind abruptly slows, compresses, and piles up against the incoming pressure of interstellar material. That compression converts kinetic energy into thermal energy, driving the plasma to extreme heat levels far beyond anything found inside the heliosphere. Remarkably, despite the blistering temperatures, this “wall of fire” would pose no danger to a hypothetical astronaut. The plasma is extraordinarily diffuse—far less dense than the best vacuums achievable in Earth laboratories—so there are simply too few particles to transfer meaningful heat. The region is hot in temperature but cold in practical effect. Voyager’s instruments captured clear signatures of the crossing: a sudden plunge in solar wind particles, a sharp rise in galactic cosmic rays, and faint plasma oscillations that revealed the density and temperature of this exotic boundary layer for the first time. These vibrations—analogous to ripples on an unseen sea—provided direct measurements of conditions in a realm previously known only through theory. The heliopause itself serves as a vital shield. The entire heliosphere—the vast bubble carved by the Sun—deflects most of the galaxy’s high-energy cosmic radiation, helping protect life on Earth from constant bombardment. Beyond this protective envelope lies the harsher, unfiltered radiation environment of the interstellar medium. Today, more than 15 billion miles (24 billion kilometers) from home, Voyager 1 remains the farthest human-made object ever sent into space. Still operational and transmitting precious data, it continues to reveal the secrets of this distant frontier. At the outer limit of our solar system, space is neither empty nor serene. It is a violent, glowing threshold—and humanity has only begun to map its mysteries.

Whenever these guys begin a tweet with "Dear Europe," the audience is exclusively Trump-supporting Americans. First noticed this during the Greenland thing.
John Ʌ Konrad V@johnkonrad

Dear Europe, I know you feel outrage. I have talked to many of you on the phone. I know politicians and media on both sides of the Atlantic are furious. I attended a conference with mostly Europeans. The worry and frustration was palpable. I get it too. You are dependent on Middle East oil and aluminum and fertilizer and shipping and LNG. Dubai is a vital travel hub for you. Vital. But don’t worry. Trump will lose the midterms and Congress will flip and side with you. Or maybe not… I live in the bluest town in the bluest state, where protests are practically a seasonal sport. I drove over eight hours across New England this week past the usual corners where outrage normally lives. This time? Nothing. Left, right, center. I’m hearing almost no one talk about this war. MAGA doesn’t even care. Ask someone and you’ll get the expected talking points. But in coffee shops, kitchens, real life? Silence. Hard truth: most Americans just don’t care. And since the weather warmed, not a single keffiyeh in sight. So when Trump says you need to go protect the ships and airports that are vital to YOU, I think he means it. Because the vast majority of Americans don’t care. And it’s not that we want to see you spin into an energy and food shortage. It’s that even the most TDS-inflicted liberal American is getting tired of your BS. Hating Trump is one thing. Almost half of America is OK with that. But your anti-American vitriol and arrogance and weakness is exhausting. Nobody likes a needy person who is angry and thinks they are better than you. It’s literally the worst combination in a person. And you might not want to admit it, but you are needy. You need us to reopen Hormuz. You need our banks and our markets. You need a lot. “We will not participate in this war” is fine. Nobody is asking you to bomb civilians. What’s weak is you won’t surge defensive missiles and planes to protect European-owned ships and property. When exactly did defense make you a participant? Defense of innocent life and property isn’t a “war crime.” And you DO own the majority of ships getting attacked. Ships that you are unwilling to defend maybe because you outsource the labor to Indonesia, the Philippines, and Ukraine. You are the wealthy lords who abandoned the mansion but told the help to stick around and defend it. So you might want to send a few warships and missile defense units to protect YOUR property. Or at least leave them at anchor and send the innocent crews home. You want us to defend the Strait because we started this mess? That’s reasonable. Problem is the reaction from most of America to your demands is: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The Pentagon blackballed its own newspaper from covering its own press conference? Reminder, Stars & Stripes employees are US Army civilians. Their editorial independence is protected by Congress specifically to prevent political leaders from feeding troops propaganda.
Matthew Adams@MatthewAdams60

Stars and Stripes was not approved by the Pentagon to attend this press conference. I will be be watching it on a screen instead. Seems a bit odd since the Pentagon published a memo with changes to the newspaper, including content overhaul.

Gomez: You said the only person who determine if it’s an imminent threat is the president. Do you stand by that statement? Gabbard: I do Gomez: Director Ratcliffe, do you agree with that? Ratcliffe: The president makes that decision Gomez: Why do you guys even have jobs?

The United States versus Elon R. Musk
The common thread among these accounts being hacked, taken over, and locked down with someone else's 2-factor authentication is that the targeted accounts all belong to outspoken, popular, Twitter-productive liberals who've been with Twitter since the beginning.

Congratulations to the @guardian for winning today's Prize for Complicit Euphemism, by calling Israel's illegal ground invasion of Lebanon ... "to push deeper into". Like it's some kind of garden digging. Slow clap, well done. @AssalRad
Prof Julia Steinberger tweet media
Prof Julia Steinberger@JKSteinberger

Israel is invading Lebanon. Every single media using "ground operation" or "incursion" or "targetted expedition" or "picnic hike" or whatever is covering for an illegal invasion of a sovereign country against international law, and thus supporting Netanyahu's Greater Israel.

@GoldenTent @NicholasDanfort @FDD @HudsonInstitute FDD, Hudson Institute, Manhattan Institute — at the top of my sh!tlist What's really disappointing is how Atlantic Council & its Scowcroft Center show none of the gravitas of Brent Scowcroft for whom the center was named

DC think tanks are not actually pro-war, and have been especially critical of this one. The more pointed critique is that often they peddle a peace-through-strength fantasy that helps weapons companies and frames the debate in ways that can make war more likely.
Nick Cleveland-Stout@nick_clevelands

Americans largely oppose the war on Iran. But the war is very popular among Washington think tanks, who are flush with more than $44 million from weapons companies since 2019 and act as the war’s loudest cheerleaders across major media networks 🧵

OK, I'll follow for now. That said, it's disgraceful that the Atlantic Council & its Scowcroft Center show none of the gravitas of Brent Scowcroft, for whom the Center was named.

Back in September @tparsi and I wrote a piece predicting that unless the U.S. could get more distance from Israel's foreign policy agenda, we would be sucked into much greater military committments in the Middle East. Unfortunately looks prescient now (🧵)

Right now a very small fringe of full-on white supremacists are working to conflate Epstein and Jews as a whole, while a bunch of much more mainstream Dems are using "Epstein class" to describe a world of interconnected elites that has for many years enjoyed impunity for their greed, exploitation, and - in Epstein's horrific case - pedophilia. Corrupt elites are very real (as the Epstein files document in detail), and they should be called out. By falsely claiming that the people who are very obviously criticizing these corrupt elites are in fact criticizing "the Jews," groups like @ThirdWayTweet are implying that corrupt elites = Jews. This is a dangerous assertion, and they are making it not to defend Jews, but to protect those corrupt elites (their donors and constituency). They are in essence trying to use Jewish vulnerability as a shield for the 1%, and in so doing are actively contributing to the demonization of our community. Fuck them.
Clarion@SeQuestoEunUomo

@AaronRegunberg @ThirdWayTweet I see your point, but it's already being used by antisemites as synonymous with Jews. In fact, that's why they use it. Isn't Third Way just pointing this out?

Amazing thing to write when Donald Trump is president. But also: Baseball Crank writes for National Review, a magazine which for years worked diligently to free the rapist and murdered Edgar Smith. William Buckley, the founder of the magazine did so because he thought that anyone who read National Review could not be guilty of rape and murder. After he was freed, Smith went on to stab another woman.
