The russians launched ballistic missiles yet again after a while. Chances are that they have performed a double-tap strike to kill people at sites of previous attack. Please talk about it. #Ukraine #UkrainianView

Russian forces targeted Odesa and Donetsk region in an attack overnight. A teenager was killed, three others were injured. Across the Donetsk region, more than 40 buildings were damaged. (1/6)

“U.S. Officials Concede They Don’t Know Whereabouts of Iran’s Uranium Stockpile” Mission accomplished! 🤦🏽‍♂️

Beyond parody.

“The U.S. has unilaterally bombed a sovereign nation of 92 million people, with zero authorization from Congress, no declaration of war, and no legitimate justification under international law.” Let’s be clear about what this means: The military will NOT stand up to Trump’s illegal orders.

And just like that, the ‘No New Wars’ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.

Just when the paid MAGA shills got done cranking out 36 hours of posts to their divided cult that this was only about nukes and not regime change, Trump does it again …

Masked ICE agents spotted swapping out license plates this morning in Bell Gardens, CA

Where are all the Genocide Joe and Killer Kamala folks now? You have really been proved to be full of shit, haven't you?

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences. The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences. The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

Firefighters help chase off ICE ✊

Secretary of the US Dept of Homeland Security Kristi Noem 🖕🖕🖕🤮😡 #cdnpoli "The former Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau is a trainwreck. He was hard to work with. Wasn't willing to share criminal background information with us. Wasn't willing to allow us access to their data systems." #cdnpoli

A single person — Donald Trump — has released the dogs of war and done it without the consent of Congress, our allies, or even a clear explanation to the American people. Anyone who has doubted Trump’s intention to replace our democracy with a dictatorship should now be fully disabused.

Senator Graham: Time to pass major sanctions against Russia and its funders of war. The bill has 84 sponsors in the Senate. Immense bipartisan support.

A growing body of research demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of self-managed abortion with pills, coupled with the global pandemic in 2020 and the fall of Roe in 2022, has many U.S. doctors changing their views.

#TrumpLied & Unilaterally Takes the Country into Another Mideast War #ABlueView🧵1/3 #WarPowersAct

Wow are we in trouble: JD Vance, Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr are the "calmer heads" in this administration.

no accidents

The countries with the most nuclear bombs. #cdnpoli

"Donald Trump just stole your idea of using intelligence lies to start an unprovoked war against a country in the Middle East that the United States can never win."

I don't think I'm ready for zoomer lingo versions of 2003 WMD discourse

But surely you can't just shoot down missiles and drones over Ukraine because that would be unimaginable escalation. Tell me more about the great "allies" Ukraine has... Hypocritical fuckers. #UkrainianView

Alternative facts

💔 This is just one of many consequences of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

He's just burning through party cash and taxpayer dollars as he clings to some hopeless dream of remaining leader and eventually PM. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2025/06/19/o...

Donald Trump bombed Iran tonight, not because they are about to have nuclear weapons (they are not), but because he needed a distraction from his tanking poll numbers and his deeply unpopular "Big Beautiful Bill." He doesn't care who gets killed, Iranians or Americans, to help HIM.

Here's the truth about tax cuts for the rich. They explode the federal debt, fuel giant profits at the biggest firms and financial institutions, and stoke a surge in billionaire wealth but do nothing for average working people.  Nothing trickles down.

Trump has unilaterally conducted illegal strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities and therefore started a war between the United States and Iran on behalf of the Israeli government without authorization by the congress, in opposition to the constitution and congressional war powers.

Check out these baddies waging a psyops campaign outside the hotel where ICE agents were *trying* to sleep. Mariachi for the win!! 💃

Congrats, war hawks. Now US is joining Israel in its disastrous war on Iran.

Remember all that “genocide Joe” and “Kamala is a war hawk” shit? Yeah…psyops. It worked.

Personally I am unfamiliar with any legitimate activity that requires switching license plates, which by the way is illegal.

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

Honestly, I won’t mind if russians just 🍽️ each other, if it means more good russians🤷‍♀️
