I live in western USA 🇺🇸 I am an artist & engineer who is worried about the disintegration of what actually made America great (expertise, education, the justice system, the 3 branches of government, healthcare, essential gov services, the law) - 🇨🇦 made me!

We’ve opened the strait that was never closed, ceasing a ceasefire for a war that was never a war, stopping Iran from charging tolls because tolls are illegal, all so Trump can charge his *own* tolls because *his* tolls are legal. This will hurt affordability which is a hoax anyway

A 20% charge would work out to about $32 million for a fully-loaded very large crude carrier at current oil prices. That’s far higher than the tolls that have been charged by Iran, which have previously been described as reaching $2 million www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Responding to Trump’s false claim that he wants Iran to have a nuclear weapon, Pope Leo XIV said: “If anyone wants to criticize me for announcing the Gospel, they should do so with truth.” The first U.S.-born pope said he wasn’t afraid of Trump, and he’s proving it each and every day.

Today, two (two!) men ran sub two-hour marathons for the first time in human history and the news is nowhere to be found on the ESPN or Sports Illustrated home pages. One of the greatest feats in sports history and it’s less important than the final round of the NFL Draft.

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash. ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to. The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty. Budgets are moral documents.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

🇺🇸 Kash Patel fired Iran-focused counterintelligence team (CI-12)—including agents who investigated Trump’s classified documents—just days before the U.S. launched strikes on Iran, - The New Republic 🇮🇷 Meanwhile, Tasnim claims another U.S. F-15 Eagle jet was shot down.

I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated.

Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) 

But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.
