“Humanity’s self-alienation has reached such a degree that it can experience its own destruction as an aesthetic pleasure of the first order.” - Walter Benjamin
@atrupar I'd like to know how we've been "taking" millions of barrels of oil since it makes no sense. It's suggesting you're not only stealing it, but the rise in gas prices hasn't changed despite it.
Q: Are you concerned about the latest inflation numbers that came out this morning?
TRUMP: No, I love it. I love the inflation. You know why? Because as soon as this war is over -- do you know we've been taking out millions of barrels of oil? Nobody knows it. You know who doesn't know? Iran until right now.
The flood of billionaire money that will come against Graham Platner is no accident.
Whether it is AI, AIPAC or crypto, billionaire-funded super PACs will spend hundreds of millions to defeat candidates who stand with working people and challenge their power.
🚨 Before President Trump announced on social media that he had canceled planned U.S. strikes on Iran, Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters warned that any renewed American attack would trigger “a more severe response than before,” referencing regional oil and gas infrastructure, and saying that “the flames of war will spread and become more widespread.”
In a statement carried by Tasnim News, the military command accused Washington of undermining negotiations through military action.
It declared that “either oil and gas exports are for everyone, or they will be impossible for everyone.”
The full statement from Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters is reproduced below:

We've learned CNN is still paying Rahm Emanuel—the longtime corporate Democrat & ex-Chicago Mayor/chief of staff to Pres. Obama—as a paid contributor while simultaneously promoting his 2028 presidential campaign. @JTCestkowski reports.

Erdogan: "85 years ago, silence in the face of Hitler led to 80 million deaths. Today, the same mistake is being repeated.
Gaza Butcher Netanyahu and his cabinet are committing genocide - and the world is watching with the same silence"
Guys, I wouldn't be surprised if Platner won. And I'm really quite baffled by all the pushback. He appears to be more or less exactly what both conservative democrats and leftists are always saying the mythical perfect democratic candidate is. Non-woke ruralite who speaks WWC.
MIKA: Given your sexting, can you call for the release of the Epstein files and not be conflicted in any way?
PLATNER: Yes, of course. I engaged in consensual romantic activities with adults at an earlier part of my life. That seems like a fairly normal thing most people do. Going to an island with billionaires to possibly assault children is a vastly, vastly different thing.
Charlamagne tha God on Trump: “For once can this guy give working class people a break? His policies have already stifled job growth, raised the cost of basic goods through tariffs, weakened labor rights to favor corporations and other rich people like himself, gas prices are through the roof. Guys like James Dolan and Donald Trump hate us. The working class people who make them rich. When Donald Trump says things like he’s not thinking about Americans’ finances not even a little bit, this is what he means”
I look forward to what @mehdirhasan@ShehabKhan do with @zeteouk after the success of @zeteo_news in the US.
My view is the right wing independent media ecosystem and newer broadcasters like my former employer @GBNEWS have not had an equivalent effort from different viewpoints, which I think is necessary for a healthy news & current affairs media landscape.
It is outrageous that people like @lucyjaynewhite1 (featured in this launch video) often go without proper challenge. And I say that as someone firmly on the right.
I wish Mehdi, Shehab and the team all the very best on this endeavour.
🔥 🇬🇧 @mrjamesob on Trump’s ‘Meet The Press’ tantrum: “ABSOLUTE MELTDOWN… his own relationship with his own lies is what came to light in that clip, and the fact that it is so fragile. He knows the most cursory scrutiny can make the whole thing come tumbling down.”
