When Notre-Dame burned in 2019, the world stopped.

Today, Russia damages Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a monastery nearly 1,000 years old and older than Notre-Dame itself.

A thousand years of history deserves the same attention, the same sympathy, and the same protection.

(2:30pm Thu) Here’s the reason for both concern and optimism: this index is called Significant Tornado Parameter. It’s computed using a number of different indices, including wind shear and instability. Any value over 1 is an increasing risk for significant tornadoes. (Cont. ➡️)

Watching the President of The United States commit mass market manipulation right before my very eyes with zero consequences is a sad feeling.

The Trump administration just launched the tariff refund system for the $166 BILLION in tariffs they illegally collected.
So far, 56,497 importers are set to get refunds, with no requirement that they pass any of the money along to customers.
They stole OUR money and now they're giving it to the corporate donors who raised OUR prices and made us pay for it.
Make it make sense!

The BBC has found a pattern of spikes in trades on financial markets ahead of public announcements by President Trump, including during the Iran war. 🎧 #GlobalNewsPod https://t.co/FaEezJpcNL

I was thirty-something years old when Iranian students dragged me into a room and told me I wasn't going anywhere. Four hundred and forty-four days later, I walked out. I've spent the decades since trying to make sense of what happened — and what keeps happening — between our two countries.
So don't talk to me about Iran like it's an abstraction. I lived inside that confrontation. I felt it.
Which is why I'm not ready to write off this ceasefire, even though everything about it is maddening.
Negotiations in Pakistan may produce nothing. The talks could collapse before they get started. I've seen American diplomacy with Iran fail more times than I can count, and usually for the same reasons — too much pride, too little patience, and Israel holding a match in the corner of the room.
But here's what I know in my bones: another war won't break Iran. We just tried. It didn't work. Iran doesn't break — it absorbs, it adapts, and it waits. I watched that stubbornness up close for 444 days.
What bothers me most isn't that Iran is winning this moment — it's that we handed it to them. Tehran's framework is running these negotiations. Iran still controls the Strait of Hormuz. Still collecting tolls. Trump looked at their proposal and called it workable. I never thought I'd see the day, but here we are.
Iran wants everything on the table — sanctions, enrichment rights, American troops out, and a deal that covers what's happening in Lebanon and Gaza too. That's a lot to swallow. And Israel, which wasn't invited to this conversation, is already making clear it has no intention of being constrained by it.
That's the part that worries me the most. Because if Israel keeps bombing and Washington can't or won't stop it, none of this holds.
And yet — and I say this as someone who has every reason to distrust Tehran — I don't think we go back to all-out war. Not because anyone has suddenly gotten wise, but because the math doesn't work. A second round ends the same way. Iran still controls the Strait. The global economy still flinches when Tehran flexes.
What we're heading toward isn't peace. It's something smaller and more precarious — two countries silently agreeing not to destroy each other today, with no paperwork and no guarantees.
I know what it's like to survive on something that fragile. For 444 days, that's all I had.

@wxblakeharms The way I held my breath until I read this....

[Art Candee 🍿🥤 @ArtCandee]

I really don’t want to hear about how Democrats are projected to take control of the House and Senate.

We’ve been here before and look what happened.

I want to hear people telling folks to get out and vote to make it happen.

Make no mistake, we are the underdogs.

We have everything stacked against us, from the media to the attacks on the integrity of our elections with the efforts by Republicans to cheat.

We can’t get complacent.

We need to actually show up.
