Bill Clinton: “I killed myself trying to give the Palestinians a state. I had a deal they turned down that would have given them all of Gaza and 97% of the West Bank. You name it. They turned it down.”
The Palestinians never wanted peace.
This must be shared every single day.
⚠️ In the past 12 hours, X locked my account and removed my post after I wrote about the oppression of Iranian women, along with an image of an Iranian protester’s body severely wounded by shotgun pellets.
The post exposed the imprisonment and torture of women who dared to protest - and saluted them for their courage.
This action appears to have been triggered by coordinated mass reporting. If free speech does not protect women’s rights, it is not free speech.
@elonmusk - is defending Iranian women now against the rules?
The last worker in the US who knew how to make Tubas is having his union job shipped to China by hedge fund billionaire and Trump advisor John Paulson who made the TV rounds to defend tariffs as a way to bring jobs back to US
Finally, the United States is waking up 🚨
Representative Ted Lieu just drew a crystal clear red line, and it matters more than most people seem to realize.
“If any military member, from the generals on down, participates in using force against Greenland without congressional authorization, they are following illegal orders.”
That is not rhetoric. That is the law. And he is putting everyone on notice.
This is how a constitutional system is supposed to work. Civilian control. Congressional authority. No freelance militarism because a president feels impulsive or humiliated or bored. Orders that violate the Constitution are not orders. They are illegal commands, and obedience is not a defense.
What I like here is the timing. This is not said after the damage is done. It is a preemptive warning. A flare shot into the sky saying: think very carefully before you cross this line.
For years, too many people in Washington treated norms as vibes and laws as suggestions. This is a reminder that the system still has teeth if people are willing to use them. And that responsibility does not magically disappear when you put on a uniform.
More of this please. Clear boundaries. Plain language. Zero ambiguity. That is how you stop bad ideas before they turn into irreversible disasters.
@PTrubey@Jordan_W_Taylor In the “there are no stupid questions”department: next in line is radon. Why not radon? Toxic? Sure. But, also, a heavier atom for more specific impulse?
His dad was born in 1853.
His grandfather was born in 1790 and was a former president.
His great grandfather was college roommates with Thomas Jefferson.
He was a @virginia_tech Hokie.
He just passed.
What an insane story of longevity.

DESPICABLE: Japanese car manufacturer Mazda has returned to the Russian market after pulling out in 2022.
New cars are already available at Mazda dealership showrooms in Russia and come with a factory warranty.
This is by far the craziest video from the fire in Los Angeles. This guy is filming huge walls of fire surrounding a house they're in, and there's another person and a dog. I have no idea why they didn't evacuate or what happened to them. Let's hope they're okay. #PalisadesFire
