The spice must flow. Never mind that the US Navy is even more at risk of Iranian counterfire crossing through the Strait of Hormuz - the narrowest point. It makes Iran's job easier trying to find USN ships to target.

We have failed to fight forever wars successfully since Vietnam. Not Afghanistan. Not Iraq. And Iran's much larger and with a larger population than those other countries combined. This is a completely avoidable disaster.

Trump has no plan for what to do with Iran just as he had no plan for Venezuela. All he cared about is if he and his corrupt family could find a way to profit directly from illegal wars he starts.

This regime has broken the social compact with the nation and the world. Full stop.

Why would anyone deal with Congress if Trump ignores the US Constitution on every aspect (violating his oath of office in the process). He's wiping his ass with the Constitution daily, and GOPers are fine with it.

Why would anyone enter into negotiations with Trumpworld if he’s going to do whatever he wants with or without Congressional approval.

Why would anyone enter in to negotiations on anything with this admin if they’re willing to reneg and blow shit up within minutes of having talks?

If you voted for Trump I already don't value your opinion @msmainah62.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

Trump’s actions have wrecked US foreign policy long term (and short term). Trump’s actions have wrecked US innovation long term and short term (on all fronts, especially medical, health, and science). Trump’s actions have wrecked US natsec long term.

And there we have it - the entire reason Trump’s doing this stupid peace “board”. To get accolades since he could not get a Nobel peace prize.

Real insane part of this clip is Hassett saying in the beginning that NY Fed researchers “should be disciplined” for…writing an economics paper that comes to a conclusion the president dislikes? A conclusion that matches the vast majority of economic evidence on tariffs? Nuts

Trump & his cult are on a mission to destroy U.S. science leadership: slashing research grants, strangling the science workforce — threatening a brain drain — & trying to gut federal science agencies. The graphics in this piece are jarring. We must stop them & California must lead. 🧵

i think this is exactly right. fascism is the Death Drive as ideology. it's why the catastrophic end of the Nazi Party does not deter people from worshipping Nazis. that the Nazis destroyed Germany along with the rest of Europe is part of the appeal.

Journalism in the US is already dead - the media conglomerates that own most news outlets have seen to that, and the billionaires that own those conglomerates conspire to misinform the masses all to make even more money and end democracy in the process.

The only ones who are paid agitators and terrorists are the ICE agents and DHS influencers who are spewing Trump-branded garbage 24/7/365. Trumpworld is terrorizing Trump's enemies, with approval from the GOP racist base.

Illustration like that from a Richard Scarry kids' book, but about ICE terror raids. One of the captions says "Kavanaugh stop," for the cruel and discriminatory practice that Brett K. authorized.

They literally always accuse protesters of being paid because 1) it shifts the terrain of the debate and 2) it reassures their base that no one legitimately holds a contrary position. They take comfort in thinking that anyone who disagrees with Trump is either brainwashed or a cynic.

The IRS enforcement and audit capacity is greatly reduced, enabling more tax evasion and avoidance, but Trumpworld is making it easier to investigate left-leaning groups antithetical to Trump's 4Cs - criminality, cruelty, corruption, and chaos. This opens door for even more IRS politicization.

ICE are domestic terrorists who are unconstrained by the rule of law or the Constitution. They are drunk on their own power and empowered by the criminally corrupt Trump regime. Make no mistake - these are fucking fascists harming American citizens who have every right to be there.

There's no help on the way. Trump doesn't care how many protesters die. Trump is running a regime that is murdering protesters and people across the US that oppose him and his criminal conduct gets wink/nod from SCOTUS.

And it's absolutely rich that Trump would purport to support protesters against a violent regime when he's operating a violent regime cracking down and murdering protesters and violating the Constitution with a wink/nod from SCOTUS.
