We could do this right now. Billionaires, taxed appropriately, could pay for universal basic income right now. Instead he and others like him hoard wealth, and ensure the poor die by the hundreds of thousands.

the war on Iran is the first American conflict that hasn't had the press embedded with the troops. that's so they can lie their fucking faces off about the war crimes they've been getting up to. thank you for your attention to today's post, in which I lay it all out. link is here: bit.ly/4ujsypQ
have you noticed that Donny’s don’t-you-dare-call-it-a-war on Iraq is the first modern American armed conflict that hasn’t had the press embedded with the troops?

think about it: World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, both Iraq invasions — all those merry little wars had shitloads of reporters covering every minute of what went on. hell, even the Civil War had Matthew Brady taking battlefield photos.

but Iran? bupkis. we haven’t had one second of on-the-scene coverage of any of the fuckery that’s being perpetrated in our names.

of course you don’t need me to tell you why that is: it’s so these shit-kazoos can lie to us about what they’ve been up to, just like they lie to us about every fucking thing.

at this point, can anyone believe any of the effluvia that seeps out of Preznit Fuckwit’s rancid anus-mouth about what’s been going on with the Strait of Hormuz?

Trump saying nobody gives a shit about housing is the perfect example of how this idiot has no idea why he won in 2024. He ran on reducing prices and not starting new wars, and now he’s wondering why his approval rating is in the 30s.

I wonder what percentage of Americans knows that the CIA helped overthrow a democracy in Iran in 1953, installing a brutal dictator who tortured and murdered people. Republicans keep citing the 1979 Islamic Revolution as if that was the start of U.S.-Iran hostilities. Go back 26 years earlier.

As talk of the US annexing Greenland ramps up again, I remain struck by the extra dimension of ridiculousness that most of the reasons that the current admin float for why we "need" Greenland ultimately relate to the impact of climate change on the Arctic, something that this admin says is a hoax.

When Christians tie Christianity to a particular political figure and party, not only do they fuse the reputation of Christianity to everything that political movement does, they become more shaped by the ways of that political movement than they do by the ways of Jesus.

A photo of extremelytall and densely planted trees taken standing fairly close to the foot of the centered tree. The foliage is concentrated  fairly high on the trees and while they are growing quite close together a decent amount of light and blue sky shines through.
