Schools bombed. Gas prices skyrocketed. American soldiers’ lives lost. And no clarity about whether Iran will continue to control a crucial trade route. A total Trump boondoggle — from the beginning. A war that no one wants & never should have started.

Visual aid for the people in the back: Pete Hegseth is profiteering off war. Putting service members at risk, decisions getting people killed, and somehow turning it into a money-making venture. Exploitation for profit. And it’s not just Hegseth.

Iran is declaring victory after Trump agreed to ceasefire, saying the U.S. adopted its terms—and it's hard to see it any other way.

Iran’s leadership is openly celebrating what it calls a “crushing defeat” for the United States after Donald Trump agreed to a two-week ceasefire and acknowledged using Iran’s own 10-point framework as the basis for negotiations.

Iran’s Supreme National Security Council says the U.S. has effectively accepted its core demands—including continued Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz, acceptance of uranium enrichment, lifting sanctions, and even discussions of compensation and U.S. troop withdrawal. Essentially, Trump has, for now, given Iran everything they asked for.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry confirmed the same framework, stating safe passage through the Strait will now be coordinated under Iranian control during the ceasefire period.

So looking at statements from the U.S. and Iran, it seems clear Trump didn’t bring Iran to the table on U.S. terms—he appears to have moved negotiations onto Iran’s terms.

After days of escalating rhetoric, including Trump's threat that "a whole civilization will die tonight," Trump has now reversed course and is embracing the very proposal Iran put forward that a U.S. official called "maximalist" just yesterday.

For now, the world should breathe a sigh of relief Trump has backed down, though it feels that this was less of a "TACO"—and more of a surrender.

Memories: In 2016, Obama purchased 32 metric tons of Iran's excess heavy water for $8.6 million to help it stay within its allowed stockpile limits. Not only was that an excellent price, but he didn't have to go to war to get it. Diplomacy and cooperation can do wonders without murdering kids.

The 25th Amendment is not the only option. Article II, Section 4 provides for impeachment and conviction for high crimes and misdemeanors. That framework has always been there. The question is whether they have the courage to act. Trump needs to go. Now. #SheShed

For those who think BDSM is just a bunch of pervs, think again. This is solid research and shows that pain itself, when given a context where a person can choose the pain, transforms into a pleasurable thing. Many know this. Good boys and girls and others. news.harvard.edu/gazette/stor...

If you believe Star Wars has "become" woke, you have failed to audit the architecture of the saga. Since 1977, this myth has served as a radical allegory for empathy and the resistance of hate. It remains a foundational fantasy for children. The message hasn't changed. This IS it's strength 💔❤️‍🩹♥️.
