We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

So… People seem to think that we’re just done now? We bombed the shit out of three nuclear sites in a country we weren’t at war with, and that’s just… it? Oh, my sweet summer children.

ABC’s Jay O’Brien is reporting that republicans in Congress were briefed ahead of the strikes, but that democrats were not briefed until after the attack was underway.

Why are no headlines focusing on the unconstitutional and dictatorial nature of this action?

Leftovers, mochico chicken rice, and salad

I’m at once confused, delighted, schadenfreudic, and also not surprised that the guy who got rich being a contrarian asshole is being a contrarian asshole. But I do enjoy watching those tactics being deployed on those that got fat and lazy from the propaganda machines. Tucker remains an ass.

Made Mochico Chicken tonight with rice and a salad. Only got pics of the prep, I had some friends over.

Poster ready, one poster two sides.

🌧️ A climate shift changed Southern Africa’s rain New research shows that 1 million years ago, a shift in ocean winds changed Southern Africa’s rainfall patterns. This ancient change could help us understand future water risks from climate change. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #SciComm 🧪

🐟🌬️ Jet stream shift is starving the sea The northward drift of the jet stream has caused a 40% drop in marine primary production in the NW Mediterranean since 2000. That means less food for fish – and less carbon pulled from the atmosphere. 🔗 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #SciComm 🧪

I'd sit this one out, Congressman.

If you haven’t heard of Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove… you have now. When she stepped out from the back without missing a beat, I knew it was on🔥 @kamlager-dove.house.gov

An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house." The threat was greeted with extreme concern by civil liberties and digital privacy groups. It suggests the LAPD could be using facial recognition to identify and retaliate against protesters.

If you want to understand why LA residents feel under attack, undercover DHS agents lying about their identity and authorizations to try to kidnap LA children seems a good start. People just do not understand the attacks LA is under by Trumpists right now.

Tom Homan says he was taken out of context by a reporter when he threatened to arrest Gavin Newsom. "The NBC reporter that interviewed me is very dishonest. We did a 20 minute interview and he cuts out a little clip and takes my words out of context." Jonathan Lemire: "NBC stands by its reporting"

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

New Founding (NF)—a Claremont spinoff funded by Thiel ally Marc Andreessen—is disturbingly cozy with The Harvard Republican Club led by Leo Koerner. The anti-DEI crusade against Harvard echoes the anti-CRT crusade led by NF partner Josh Abbottoy against Grove City Christian College in 2021. 1/
