Opinionated old cat lady. This is just how I see things. And my, my, there is a lot to sort out. Banned from Twitter when it became X. Apparently, I upset Trump.

So, the Mother of All Bombs may or may not work. But don’t worry, the Oval Office Psycho and Whiskey Pete Hegseth are on the job. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

In other news….. 😂

Doug Ford insults First Nation people. He says he treats them like "gold" but says they keep coming back for more. Come to Treaty 9 Doug. See what your gold has bought in overcrowded homes, underfunded schools, and bad water. The Boss Hawg routine might stoke your base but it is racist as f--k.

Iranian press review: Conservatives demand war until destruction of Israel - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/iranian-press-review-conservatives-demand-war-until-destruction-israel

🇮🇱🇮🇷 Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz says Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is “the modern Hitler” and “cannot continue to exist," - The Times of Israel 🗣️ "Khamenei, who heads Iran and has made the destruction of the State of Israel his declared goal cannot be allowed to continue."

BREAKING: Israel has attacked Iran’s Arak heavy water reactor, Iranian state TV says, hours after Israel warned public to flee the area. Meanwhile, an Iranian missile barrage targeted Israel, including a “direct hit” on a medical building.

The Handmaid’s Tale wasn’t just inspired by the religious American right. It was also inspired by “Ayatollah Khomeni’s slaughterhouse”. After 46 years of the menagerie of horrors these monsters have delivered, it’s absurd for people to be blowing off the suggestion that they are indeed monsters.

So Starship Ship 36 just detonated *before* the static fire test - fueled and waiting for the test. Looks like the top tank lets go and sets off the whole stack. It would be bad enough if it let go during the static fire test, but it just blew up. And it's cooking off the fuel tanks on the pad.

Less than 24 hours after Trump announced “we” own the skies over Iran, this happened….

"That's not good."

Their baby had a preventative disease. They prayed instead of calling a doctor. She died. Now they're going to prison for 20 years. Christianity should never be a legal defense for child murder. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...

Hilarious. 10 minutes. That not even half a Scaramucci.

Former President Barack Obama issued a warning about the future of American democracy, while speaking at an event in Connecticut. Obama cautioned that the country is “dangerously close” to normalizing behavior “consistent with autocracies.”

Mocking Trump is a good way to get oneself bombed.

The new “All-American” smartphone being sold by Trump’s family is reportedly manufactured in China. The just-launched Trump Mobile is selling a gold iPhone lookalike for $499, despite the device’s base model—albeit without the gilded trim or Trump branding—being available on Amazon for just $169.

An upside-down American flag spotted atop Flagpole Peak above Echo Lakes near Lake Tahoe is drawing attention after two climbers encountered the display during a summit last week.

Trump has repeatedly taken credit for the India-Pakistan ceasefire (including again just today) — now here’s Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri saying he had nothing to do with it. (Indian news broadcasters have said the same, calling Trump’s lies “a broken record”)

MacArthur Park, Los Angeles, 6/18 around 9:30am — Unidentified masked terrorists kidnapped an elderly homeless man off the street and bundled him into a private car with no license plate.

The license plate thing is actually something I’d been having questions about (were they using government plate, for example). Knowing that there’s actually none at all makes it much worse.

While their provinces uncontrollably burn and neither has called on Ottawa to help Canadians. #abpoli #saskoli

We should remember: That Iran is going for the nuke is becasue Donald Trump feels so emasculated by Barack Obama, that he ripped up his nuclear deal with Iran and called it narcissistically a "bad deal". He replaced it with nothing. That's why this is happening now. It's Trump's fault.

Los Angeles faith leaders have led a group of peaceful protesters to the steps of the federal immigration courthouse to lay down flowers for those detained and arrested.

MSNBC dug up the clip of former Trump Sec Def Mark Esper saying that Trump asked him in 2020 to shoot protesters -- an order Pete Hegseth wouldn't rule out following if Trump asked him to do it today

No one should be held in unsafe, inhumane conditions—especially not in our own backyard. I’ve filed an amicus brief urging the court to step in and protect the rights of immigrant detainees being held for days in crowded, unsanitary holding cells at the Baltimore Immigration Court.

Community and religious leaders in Pasadena are speaking out against ongoing immigration raids in Southern California, saying federal agents are sweeping up people who serve their communities. youtube.com/watch?v=UULs...

Australia has approved the sale of slaughter-free Japanese quail, becoming only the third country in the world to permit the sale of meat cultivated from animal cells.
