What the hell are we doing⁉️ Nidal Hasan murdered 13 people at Fort Hood. He deserves to face justice. But Pete Hegseth turning a firing squad execution into a livestreamed spectacle is nuts.

Ophthalmologist Dr. Agatha Aboe led the medical campaign in Ghana to eliminate trachoma (leading infectious cause of preventable blindness globally). It worked. Ghana became the 1st country in sub-Saharan Africa to eliminate the disease, 2018. #WorldSightDay #WomenInSTEM
A low-angle, close-up portrait of renowned Ghanaian ophthalmologist and public health pioneer Dr. Agatha Aboe. Celebrated for leading the historic medical campaign that made Ghana the first country in sub-Saharan Africa to eliminate trachoma in 2018, she is captured looking upward and to the left with an optimistic, serene smile. Her black hair is neatly styled with shaved, patterned sides. She wears distinctive semi-translucent, light-blue-framed glasses and bright orange, teardrop-shaped beaded earrings that offer a vibrant color contrast. Her top is a simple, high-collared bright blue shirt. The background features a soft-focus, minimalist golden-yellow architectural column under warm, natural sunlight. The tight composition and uplifting lighting establish an empowering, visionary mood, symbolizing her historical significance as a leading global voice for Women in STEM who now exports eye-health roadmaps to other endemic nations

Like my friend @rokhanna.bsky.social says here, Congress has a constitutional right to assess the damage of the Iran War. Denying a Member of Congress even a briefing with military officials is a full blown cover up.

How do I know Hegseth’s order to deny access to bases to members of Congress is about a cover up, not about safety? Because I asked for a military briefing at the embassy as a substitute and was told the policy prohibited military leaders in the region from even talking to me.

Something unprecedented happened during my visit to the Gulf. For the first time in 20 years in Congress, I was denied entry to U.S. military facilities and even meetings with military leaders. An order from Hegseth - that applies to both parties - to hide the cost of the war.

Hegseth put Elon Musk and Anduril’s Palmer Luckey in charge of a Pentagon study on what weapons the military needs. Both sell to the Pentagon. Letting contractors shape their own market is corruption, and taxpayers get stuck with the cost. 👇🏼 #USDemocracy #CostOfTrumpsCorruption

Protests Erupt In Athens As Rubio Arrives For US-Greece Talks - PopularResistance.Org
Mass protests were held in Athens against US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s visit to Greece, as his trip coincides with the sixth round of the Greece-US Strategic Dialogue and expected agreements on new US weapons purchases by Athens. A large number of demonstrators, including representatives of trade unions, student associations, and political parties, gathered in central Athens on Tuesday and marched toward the US embassy as part of an anti-war rally held ahead of Rubio’s visit, according to Greek media. Dimitris Koutsoumbas, leader of the Communist Party of Greece, participated in the demonstration.
