You predicted your own future.

Are we getting this yet?

Jon Ossoff: “Trump promised to attack a broken system. But here’s the thing: he’s a crook and a con man and he wants to be a king. Yes, the system really is rigged, but Trump’s not un-rigging it, he’s re-rigging it for himself”

To oppose Forbes, another candidate, Cindy Burbank, also filed at the last minute on the Democratic primary ticket but has had her candidacy challenged by the state Republican Party and Nebraska’s Republican Secretary of State — who briefly had her removed from the ballot — leaving just Forbes on the ticket. Burbank sued and the state supreme Court put her back on the ballot. She has said if she wins the primary she will drop out and support Dan Osborn, the independent backed by the state Democratic Party

We’ve all said it. He’s a plant. I screenshotted 1/2 of his facebook page before he deleted it. He’s never reached out the Democratic Party for anything. "William Forbes voted for Trump three times and wants to ban all abortions including in cases of rape. Forbes is a Ricketts plant. Vote for Cindy Burbank in the US Senate Democratic Primary."

We accuse Iran of being a radical theocracy as we become one ourselves.

@highbrow_nobrow @RapierDiva More gaslighting

JD Vance blames media: "If the media wants to tell the truth, they ought to tell the truth that a group of left-wing radicals have been working tirelessly… to try to make it impossible for the president of the US to… enforce our immigration laws!"

JUST IN: There are roughly 50,000 MRI machines operating worldwide. Each one requires liquid helium cooled to minus 269 degrees Celsius to keep its superconducting magnets functional. A single non-operational MRI eliminates 20 to 30 patient scans per day. Those are the scans that detect tumours before they metastasise, strokes before they kill, spinal injuries before they paralyse. The helium that makes those scans possible came, until 31 days ago, from Qatar’s Ras Laffan facility, which produced a third of the world’s supply as a byproduct of liquefied natural gas. Ras Laffan was struck by Iranian missiles on March 18. It declared force majeure. Fourteen percent of its helium capacity is permanently destroyed. Repairs will take three to five years. Helium prices have doubled. India’s hospitals are already reporting MRI cost spikes and scan delays. European facilities are rationing non-urgent diagnostics. Air Liquide has warned customers of unfulfilled orders. And 200 cryogenic containers holding 41,000 litres each are stranded in the Persian Gulf with 35 to 48 days before their cooling systems fail and the gas vents irreversibly into the atmosphere. Helium is the only element that escapes Earth’s gravity once released. It does not come back. Here is the connection that should stop every health minister, every defence secretary, and every AI executive in their tracks. The same helium that cools the MRI magnet scanning a child’s brain for a tumour in Mumbai also cools the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine printing the two-nanometre transistor in Hsinchu that powers the AI model selecting bombing targets over Isfahan. Hospitals and semiconductor fabs are now competing for the same shrinking pool of the same molecule at the same temperature. The war has created a zero-sum allocation between healing and killing, and the molecule does not care which one wins. TSMC holds 6.2 weeks of inventory and recycles 68 to 95 percent on site. Samsung holds six months but sources 65 percent from Qatar. Both are rationing toward AI and high-bandwidth memory, starving consumer chip production to keep the advanced nodes alive. Hospitals are nominally prioritised in allocation queues, but when a single TSMC fab consumes 500,000 cubic feet of helium per year and a trillion-dollar AI buildout depends on keeping those fabs running, the allocation queue is a polite fiction masking a brutal triage. Newer MRI machines use zero-boil-off technology, sealed systems holding as little as 0.7 litres of helium that never need refilling. In India, 3,500 of 5,000 machines already use this technology. But the legacy fleet, the machines in rural hospitals, developing nations, and underfunded health systems, still requires 1,500 to 2,000 litres per fill. Those are the machines that will go dark first. Those are the patients who will be diagnosed last. The geography of helium scarcity maps precisely onto the geography of healthcare inequality. The war’s casualties are not only soldiers and civilians in the strike zone. They include every patient whose scan was delayed because the helium that should have cooled their MRI machine is boiling off in a container drifting 57 kilometres northwest of Dubai. The body count of a chokepoint war does not end at the chokepoint. It extends to every hospital, every diagnostic centre, every oncology ward that depends on a noble gas extracted from natural gas that transits a 39-kilometre strait controlled by a navy that no longer exists but whose mines, drones, and shore batteries still function. The molecule does not distinguish between a magnet in a scanner and a magnet in a missile. It cools both to the same temperature. And today, there is not enough of it for both.

Trump at war: 1. Start war. Do not tell allies. 2. Blow stuff up. 3. Demand regime change. 4. Blow up more stuff. 5. Demand unconditional surrender. 6. Get angry when enemy fights back. 7. Make threats. 8. Back down. Repeat. 9. Demand allies finish war. 10. Walk away.

The strait was open. He starts a war. The strait closes. The world economy gets fucked. He doesn’t know what he’s doing, he gets bored, he declares victory, and he tells the rest of the world to open the strait, to clean up his mess. He’s such a prick. He’s such a destructive prick.

@JuliaDavisNews @OrganizerMemes Way to show appreciation to our newest enlisted men and women

ICE agents will be stationed outside graduation events for the nation’s newest Marines to identify whether any of their family members are undocumented, according to the Marine Corps. nbcnews.com/politics/natio…

These meetings will be studied for years. Grown men turned into pets by Trump, and their own greed and cowardliness. It's almost impossible to believe that humans can degrade themselves this much. When I see this, assuming I'm done throwing up, I'm ashamed to be a human.

Start the fire. Walk away. Tell the world they’re on their own.

@Acyn How many dead so far, Pete. Just answer the fucking question: How many dead so far??

CBS News: Hungary’s Viktor Orbán seized control of universities rewrote the Constitution and neutered the courts. Is that what you're advocating for in the US? JD Vance: I think Orbán made smart decisions that we could learn from in the US. (June 2024)

More than 400 hospitals across the U.S. are at high risk of closing or cutting services because of the Medicaid cuts in President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” according to an analysis from the progressive watchdog group Public Citizen. nbcnews.com/health/health-…

In 2017, Abbott knew Corpus was running out of water. But Abbott still gave his Saudi plastics pet project millions of your tax $ to guzzle as much water as ALL the citizens of Corpus Christi use. His solution now? Make the people of Corpus pay more so his donors can keep chugging cheap water. That’s “The Greg Abbott Corruption Tax.” gov.texas.gov/news/post/A-Mu…

Americans, Brits, and Russians need to remember the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. Ukraine voluntarily surrendered the third-largest nuclear arsenal in the world. In exchange, Washington, London, and Moscow pledged to respect Ukraine’s borders
