Iran has lost Venezuela, Syria, Lebanon, and Gaza. Not much is left. They have no electricity, no water, and their currency has lost 60% of its value. The regime’s days are numbered.
In this pathbreaking decision, a federal court ruled that a 2.97 GPA is lower than 3.0 GPA, and cannot be rounded up for purposes of determining whether a student should be kicked out of a physician-assistant training program for failure to maintain minimally required GPA: https://t.co/E6NNirI6u9
“Powerful white men whose sexual deviancy and abuse of underage girls became a sport of sorts for the modern billionaire class and the politicians, legal and financial institutions and media organizations who covered for them.
The recent smelting of CBS news into a cauldron of disinformation via Bari Weiss-led censorship and right wing agitprop (an Erika Kirk ‘town hall’ is not newsworthy and Turning Point USA is nothing more than a stochastic terrorist organization backed by reactionary billionaires who want to dismantle liberal education in favor of Christofascist dogma) is no accident.
It is much more likely that the real objective is to eliminate any threat of an effective news media with the resources and ability to hold men like Trump and Musk accountable for their sexual predation; as it is any specific attempt to hide the Trump administration’s human rights abuses surrounding migrant detention in places like CECOT, which is such a low point in the American experiment that college courses will be taught on it someday, if our republic survives.
It is almost unfathomable that ’60 Minutes’ would have a segment cut so close to air time; what it says about how far the networks have gone in caving to Trump in the space of a single year is embarrassing to anyone who ever worked in the television industry.
What is being done by the Trump administration is abhorrent and inexcusable - and the men and women behind it know they have already neutered their base enough to not to care. The most dangerous element of the MAGA phenomenon that has so imperiled our nation is its ability to separate its followers from their own humanity.
This is the dynamic that does lasting damage.
MAGA diehards and ‘America First’ ideologues have become so numb to the suffering of others that they see Trump’s transgressions and human rights abuses as cause for celebration rather than deep national scars and misdeeds for which we will someday be forced to atone.” https://t.co/yGdSkSzJcD
Rob Reiner:
"Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."
Trump is not doing this to “build a great big beautiful ballroom.” The entire project is being rushed to renovate the BUNKER UNDERNEATH THE EAST WING (PEOC). He’s not preparing for lavish parties. He’s preparing for the FALLOUT. And deep down, he knows it’s coming.

Two years. Two years passed since the last moment I saw Avinatan, the love of my life. Two years since the moment terrorists kidnapped us, put me on a motorcycle, and tore me away from Avinatan before the eyes of the entire world.
From that moment, our journey in captivity was separated. I was held captive with children, women, and the elderly, while Avinatan was held alone. I was mostly kept inside houses, while Avinatan was only in the tunnels. Hamas released videos and signs of life from me, while there was no information at all about Avinatan. I was held captive by Hamas for 246 days, while Avinatan was held for 738 days. I came back in a heroic rescue operation, and Avinatan returned in a deal.
But both of us, against all odds, came home and were reunited!
I cannot put into words the range of emotions I felt when I saw him for the first time after so long. Each of us faced death countless times, and yet, after two years apart, we are finally taking our first steps together again in the State of Israel.
At last, we can begin our healing together. The recovery will be long; we still haven’t truly processed what has happened here over these past two years. But we won. We won our personal war, and the war of all those who fought alongside us to reach this moment. And now, the time has come to begin our shared journey together.
I want to say a huge thank you, first and foremost, to the @IDF soldiers and security forces who have been fighting for so long and risk their lives for us every single day. Thank you to our family, friends, and to the people of Israel, Am
Yisrael, who raised their voices when we couldn’t speak. To the people around the world who embraced us, to all the incredible individuals who supported us through the hardest times and never lost hope throughout this long period. To the US government, which opened its doors to me and was always there to listen, especially @SEPeaceMissions Steve Witkoff, @jaredkushner, and the exceptional, President @realDonaldTrump.
To all the people who too stood beside our hostages and understood that light must overcome darkness.
We will never forget the fallen and the murdered, and we will not stop fighting until every fallen soldier and hostage is brought home for a proper burial in Israel.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
This could never have happened without you.
We are back ❤️
@Lapp@realEstateTrent@yoshiefuruhashi The location on 163rd is random and unnecessary - there’s various other ones nearby so it makes sense. They were probably losing money there.
@RobinhoodApp I transferred my crypto over to you from Coinbase and you didn’t get the cost basis information. AI agent says there is no option to input it manually. How am I supposed to track my holdings? This is a huge issue and I need a solution. Thanks.

- burn down parliment building, pm's house. beats the shit out of the finance minister in the streets, kills the pm's wife.
- kids elect their own new PM on their discord server, ex-chief justice of the supreme court who was part of the 1990 revolution that ended the monarchy
- army head ackowldges the validity of the discord vote and is meeting the new interm PM to discuss elections for new leadership going foward
According to Utah officials + police interviews with his family, Tyler Robinson hated Charlie Kirk because Kirk wasn't conservative enough. (Robinson reportedly admired Nick Fuentes). GOPer's now scrubbing X posts about dems faster than DOJ erases Trump name in Epstein files.
