Can we just… drop the facade of morality here for a minute and speak candidly?

Iran is RIGHT for striking vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. I said it, I don’t care if you like it. You’re lying to yourself if you want to act like it’s wrong.

The United States launched a war of aggression against a sovereign country, and this is an obvious and long-identified defense maneuver meant to create asymmetric downside against an overwhelmingly more powerful military adversary.

“Ohhhh but it’s wronggg. What about international lawwwww”

Last I checked, slaughtering 120 schoolchildren in Minab is against international law. Last I checked, launching a war of aggression against a sovereign nation like we see here is against international law. Last I checked, bombing water storage and infrastructure facilities is against international law…

… last I checked, the United States killed three Indian sailors in the Strait of Hormuz by attacking a civilian vessel.

“Ohhhhh but maritime lawwww. UNCLOS”

Y’all check on Cuba lately? The last delivery of oil to Matanzas was the Anatoly Kolodkin in MARCH. The United States is the SOLE reason the Universal couldn’t deliver in May. They have blackouts for 22 hours a day. Their hospitals can’t function.

You can whine all you want about morals and ethics, but maybe take a second to realize how stupid you sound doing it.

I'm going to predict that when the damage assessment is complete, well into the future, Trump's greatest crime will prove to be espionage - AND - it will be the most catastrophic breach of national security in American history.
We will discover he passed secrets to Russia from day 1 because he was compromised; and did favors for the Saudis shortly after, purely for personal profit; and who knows what the hell else.
His many Useful Idiocies will boggle the mind. And his America First gaslight will be remembered as it should be remembered: "Trump Before America, facilitated by idiots who called themselves patriots."
His treachery - most done purely for power and profit, and some from pathology, revenge, and entitlement, will have massively impacted the globe, permanently shifted wealth, and cost many millions of lives.
I have to add that a good deal of it would not have happened but for our legacy media's consistent and widespread normalization of his disorders.

I spoke to my old friend Mitch McConnell this morning, the senior Senator from Kentucky. He said he wishes men would stop wearing slim fit suits, adopt animals from their local animal shelter, and build affordable housing in walkable neighborhoods. I told him thank you.

THE TRUMP EFFECT: The USA just lost to Belgium in the World Cup Round of 16 by a score of 4-1, right after Trump personally called FIFA to clear star striker Balogun to play.

Sports fans are calling it the Trump curse.

He attended the Super Bowl and predicted a Chiefs win, but the Eagles blew them out.

He was there when the Commanders hosted the Lions and lost at home.

He watched from a suite as Miami fell in the College Football National Championship.

He sat in the owner’s suite when the Knicks snapped their huge playoff streak in NBA Finals Game 3.

And he attended the Ryder Cup where Europe topped the US team.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Last year, Microsoft made $101 billion in profits, got a $12.5 billion tax break from Trump & paid its CEO $96 million.

This year, it’s raising the price of an Xbox by $150 & eliminating 3,200 jobs.

Please don’t tell me corporate tax breaks create jobs. It never trickles down.

Seems like a good time to remind everyone that the United States Women's National Soccer Team has won 4 World Cups.

[Lilly ᥫ᭡ear 🐳 ̈ ̈ 𓆉 🪷 @ThreeOhFiveMIA]

Trump attends game 3 of the @NBA finals and the @nyknicks lose their winning streak.

Trump interferes with @FIFA rules, corruption in full display, and the @USMNT lose their #FIFAWorldCup2026 bid.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Today marks 250 years since a small group of newspaper editors, farmers, and soldiers signed a document declaring our nation’s independence — a truth that feels self-evident now but was revolutionary then.

What a privilege us Americans have, to live in a nation that every one of its inhabitants can shape. What an honor us New Yorkers have, to look out over our city’s waters from the shores where so many Americans bravely entered their country for the first time.

Today and all days, let us remember that patriotism is not pretending our nation is without flaws. Patriotism is every act of righteous dissent — because loving our country means fighting for the best version of it.

Happy Fourth of July, New York City.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Mamdani: There is a term so often used to describe our nation and those who have shaped it: American exceptionalism. 

American exceptionalism, the conventional wisdom tells us, makes our freedom a little more free, is how we dug the Erie Canal and irrigated the West, is why children in far away lands grow up dreaming of one day moving here.

And yet the irony is that the story of America has so often been written by those who were told by others with power and influence and wealth that they were anything but exceptional.

For generation after generation, we have been told that when the world has sent its people to our shores, it has not sent its best. It sent Puritans and Sikhs and Quakers and Muslims and Jewish people who were banished for praying the wrong way, worshipping the wrong Gods, angering the wrong people. It sent peasants and serfs from who were treated as less because they hardly owned clothes, let alone land. It sent immigrants for whom power was something someone else had.

We are told that America is exceptional because we are richer, stronger, more powerful than everyone else.

The truth, my friends, is that America is exceptional because here, nothing is fixed into place. The frontier may be closed, we may have walked on the moon, but the work of fulfilling the values first enshrined in the Declaration of Independence-that work endures, my friends, and it belongs to us all.

It belongs too to our newest Americans, those standing here with me today, all of whom were recently naturalized. Nearly a decade ago, I too felt what you feel— the joy of no longer being just a New Yorker, but an American too.

@RazorFist If purchasing isn't ownership then piracy isn't theft.

[Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) @adamscochran]

Trump’s team could have argued that the 14th amendment should apply only to those here legally.

Instead they over reached wanting to nullify all citizens born to foreign parents.

Why?

The midterms.

They know his support among 1st generation Hispanic voters has massively shifted.

While they wanted to strike this down in general, they were desperate to throw into question the citizenship status of millions of voters before the election.

That is what was defeated today.

Hispanic voters should remember this moment at the polls.

Republicans were eager to remove your right to vote.

Mamdani: "Solidarity with a government that is committing genocide is a very different thing than a question of solidarity with people of a specific faith. I'm proud to be a mayor of the city with the largest Jewish population in this country."
