This isn’t a “sale”. Israel purchases these weapons with a fund created with U.S. taxpayer dollars. Biden/Harris blocked these 2000-pound bombs from going to Israel. Congress can block this “sale.” VOTE. www.nbcwashington.com/news/nationa...

Fourteen Russian spy satellites flew over a US military base in Saudi Arabia days before an Iranian strike, CNN reports.
US officials said the collected intelligence may have been shared with Iran, helping enable the high-precision attack which wounded 12 US service members.

A lot of people really have no idea what's coming with the energy crisis in the coming months. A lot of the crisis from the start of the war were postponed but those tricks can no longer work. We're about to see the worst energy crisis in 50 years.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Gas prices are exploding! Per AAA Diesel is now at a new record of $6.16 per gallon. Before the war it was $3.60. Regular gas before war was $2.00 as Trump bragged--now it's more than 100% higher at $4.31 per gallon. Now comes more TrumpFlation! This is 100% bc of Trump/GOP's Iran war.

BREAKING: 20+ Republican leaders just endorsed our campaign for US Senate.
We’re bringing Texans together onto one team to take power back for working people.
Because the real fight in this country isn't left versus right — it's top versus bottom.

Well, fuck.
And Diesel is already over $6 a gallon.
Trump reportedly declined to help the Saudis clear the strait, too.
Gonna get real stupid if the Saudis aren’t able to dislodge the Houthis.

The way AI is going to “kill everyone” is just by manufacturing consent for ever worse outcomes & conditions, like many governments do.
It is a governing technology after all. And like bureaucracy it launders responsibility so the people & institutions who deploy it aren’t accountable for the harms
