In a 4 minute address gloating over US bombing of Iran, President Trump made this statement: “We love you, God, and we love our great military.” This is Holy War language. He was flanked by Hegseth, who has the Crusades motto “Deus vult” tattooed on his arm. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Note to media: Do not dismiss Trump’s references to God tonight as awkward pandering. If you do, you are missing a key part of what is driving these dangerous actions.

i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.

I have an idea: let’s start referring to all Navy vessels as Harvey Milks. Next time you see a sailor, just ask, “Which Harvey Milk do you serve on?” Or say, “I heard General Dynamics is building a new fleet of amphibious Harvey Milks.”

This should be bigger news: ICYMI - Project 2025’s puppet master Russell Vought just replaced Elon as head of DOGE. People still in denial & believe Trump knew nothing about Project 2025, need to explain why he just handed the keys to the whole damn thing to its architect. He is the plan. Wake up.

Wall Street Journal headline: “Trump’s Budget Hawk Takes Over the DOGE Agenda. First Up: The Military,” with a photo of Russ Vought. Highlighted text discusses Vought pushing for Trump to use “impoundment” powers to block Congress-approved spending.

PFAS levels in sea foam off the NC coast were among the highest measured in that material anywhere. As in 1m parts per trillion. Don't touch foam in waterways, per NCSU researcher Dr. Enders, as even naturally occurring types (from leaves, algae) likely contain some contamination.

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

Currently, "winding down" from hours of manipulating pro-democracy listeners to gain their trust. Be very cautious about people who are behaving like this. Time will tell what the angle will end up being, but it is likely intended to create divisions in the opposition & downplay the fascist capture.

opinion & warning: this account is concerning. I know having community to talk thru what we're experiencing is crucial, but be vigilant where you get it. Discouraging protests, suggesting "we've got this" & hanging w/Nazis to "wind down" is not pro-democracy. It's pro-divide the resistance.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.
