The President is threatening genocide and possible use of nuclear weapons against Iran. It’s clear the President has continued to decline and is not fit to lead. The members of his Cabinet must invoke the 25th Amendment immediately.

Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY! The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.

Archaeologists speak up against the Vice President's blatantly disinformative use of archaeology for spreading these harmful Christian nationalist narratives 🏺
Quote from article reading, "Vance then pivoted and made a historical argument, claiming early settlers to North America and ancient societies practiced forms of 'child sacrifice'. Historians have found no evidence of that."Quote from article: "he went on to say archaeological sites associated with ancient brothels often include the remains of infants, calling it evidence that societies that 'discard innocent babies' also tend to mistreat women. 'There is a reason why Christian civilization ended the practice of child sacrifice all over the world,' he said. 'It's one of the great accomplishments of Christian civilization."

Roman glass cups with colourful enamel decoration of animals from the Roman arena. AD 200s. Found in richly-furnished graves in Denmark. National Museum of Denmark, Copenhagen. 📷 by me #FindsFriday #Archaeology
My photo collage shows four images of Roman-era clear-glass cups painted with colourful enamel decoration depicting animals from the Roman Arena. Known as ‘circus cups’, fourteen of which have been found in richly-furnished ‘princely’ graves in Denmark. Dated AD 200s.

The top two images show two sides of the same cup. Top left: a brown lion with shaggy mane, its front and rear legs outstretched as if running at full speed. Top right: a green spotted leopard. Out of shot, a blue goat is being hunted down by the lion and the leopard.

Bottom left: fragmentary glass cup decorated with a light brown lion with shaggy mane. Nose and lips outlined in black.

Bottom right: image of a gladiator with green leggings and blue shield, and in front of him a large brown bear.

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it. They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.
