Used to be on Twitter before it was ruined. Now I'm here. Looking forward to speaking up and speaking out 🥂🥂🌊🌊🌊 NO DM's unless we already have an established relationship. #fuckthe🍊💩
It's hard to avoid the conclusion that either 1) a lot of people would lose at chess to a dog 2) a lot of people are fine with Republicans doing the dirty work of purging the trannies
onion person@junlper.beer · 10h agoit’s wild that the heritage foundation wrote in text that the assault on trans woman particularly in sports is their first step in their efforts to completely abolish all Title IX protections and liberals still don’t believe it’s about more than trans women in sports

The DEA seizes over 2,000 pounds of meth hidden in a cabbage shipment in Texas.
13/ Watch three decisions now: whether the Houthis expand attacks beyond Saudi-linked ships, whether Saudi forces can retake the coast & whether Trump authorizes strikes. A tiny island has exposed a larger truth: distant wars do not stay distant when they control the roads the world economy travels.
12/ Yemenis pay in blood and hunger. About 44,000 people fled the new fighting. The UN says 18.3 million face acute hunger, including 2.2 million malnourished children under five. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/9/...
UN envoy warns Security Council Yemen’s war has entered ‘dangerous phase’
Envoy for Yemen Hans Grundberg demands urgent steps to protect civilians and trade routes amid Houthi escalation.
aljazeera.com
11/ Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman reportedly called Trump twice asking him to strike the Houthis. Trump refused, but offered intelligence & targeting help. About 200 U.S. personnel already provide noncombat support. www.axios.com/2026/09/11/h...
Saudi crown prince urged Trump to strike Houthis amid Red Sea threat
Trump declined, and U.S. officials stressed he has no plans to intervene directly against the Houthis for now.
axios.com
10/ Iranian puppets? Too simple. Iran supplies weapons & strategic help. Reuters sources say Guard officers aided the offensive. Yet Houthis have their own army & goals. www.reuters.com/world/middle...
Iranian arms and advice helped Yemen's Houthis seize key Red Sea city, sources say
While Iran describes the Houthis as an ally, it publicly denies giving them military direction.
reuters.com
9/ The fuse reignited in July. Saudi Arabia blocked an Iranian plane carrying Houthi officials, then struck Sanaa’s airport. Houthis answered by attacking Saudi tankers, energy sites & territory. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/9/...
Yemen’s Houthis seize strategic Red Sea city of Mocha
Houthis deliver 'significant blow' to the Yemeni government, expand control over Bab al-Mandeb, analysts say.
aljazeera.com
8/ Here is how that reaches you. Threatened oil routes push crude prices higher. Tanker and cargo insurance rises. Ships take longer routes. Diesel, shipping and delivery cost more. Businesses pass those costs along through gasoline, groceries, manufactured goods and airfare.
7/ Route three is the Red Sea exit. The Houthis first captured Mocha, then Dhubab and Perim Island. So Iran pressures Hormuz, drones hit the Saudi bypass & an Iran-aligned movement reaches Bab el-Mandeb. Three different actions. One tightening energy trap.
6/ Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline moved 4 to 5 million barrels daily, about 4% to 5% of global supply. Drones from Iraq hit it, briefly shutting the route built to bypass Hormuz. www.reuters.com/world/middle...
Gulf oil threatened anew as Houthis reach key island and pipeline is shut down
The vital East-West oil pipeline in Saudi Arabia, which has helped relieve the logjam in the Strait of Hormuz, was temporarily shut down by a drone attack coming from Iraq, Saudi officials said.
reuters.com
5/ Now look east. Route one is the Strait of Hormuz, the main exit from the Persian Gulf. Iran has disrupted it during the U.S.-Israel war. That forced Saudi Arabia to rely more heavily on an alternative: its 1,200-kilometer East-West pipeline to the Red Sea.
4/ Traffic through Bab el-Mandeb fell about 24% after the blockade. Tankers took the biggest hit. For ships that turn back, detouring around Africa adds fuel, days, crew costs & pressure to supply chains. www.lloydslistintelligence.com/resources/bl...
Red Sea Brief: 6 August 2026
Vessel traffic through the Bab el Mandeb strait traffic fell 24% after the Houthis imposed a maritime blockade on Saudi Arabia, but transit volumes appear to have stabilised following the initial decl...

3/ The Houthis do not need to defeat the U.S. Navy or build a barricade across the water. They need one burning tanker, one mine or one successful drone strike. Commercial shipping runs on risk. When insurers get nervous, captains turn around and prices begin climbing.
2/ Perim, or Mayun, sits in Bab el-Mandeb, the narrow gateway between the Indian Ocean and Red Sea. Ships bound for Egypt’s Suez Canal pass it. Houthis arrived by boat after Yemeni government forces withdrew. apnews.com/article/025d...

1/ A tiny volcanic island most Americans have never heard of could help raise the price of gas, groceries & nearly everything delivered by truck. Yemen’s Houthis just seized it, completing the final piece of a three-route squeeze on Middle Eastern oil. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
Trump continues to demand that his appointees indict his political opponents without evidence. And even some of his most loyal and ardent far-right MAGA supporters just can’t do it and end up resigning. But he still has Todd Blanche who will do his bidding.
Hi Don, this is the best way to get rid of #45; and his corrupt administration!
Thousands of socialists and antifascists assembled in Barcelona this week for the National Day of Catalonia to counter fascist attempts to hijack the event. Outnumbering the far right, workers and youth were attacked by state thugs who arrested and beat many protesters. No Pasaran Today and everyday
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 7 million barrels a day pipeline east to west gone! Pumping stations destroyed to the ground! St John’s closes for 2 month’s maintenance! 300,000 barrels a day refined sent to New England off line! $7 soon? $3.70 pre war $5 gas No reserves left! Not ever have we been here before! Thanks Trump
I’m cracking up about Starbucks supporting the letter while also relocating staff to Nashville, a city that is empirically more dangerous, so they don’t have to pay taxes that could be spent on public safety here in Seattle.
Today the @seattletimes.com humiliated itself by amplifying a letter from people who don't know/care crime is massively down, demanding a plan to reduce crime& telling the Mayor how to do it. Then not mentioning our crime rate is low and dropping. And pretending that was news. Agenda much?
rondezvousWA@ronpdavis.bsky.social · 22h agoINSANE discussion of the CEOs think Katie Wilson invented crime letter over on X. I checked the up to date crime dashboards for homicide stats and we are way ahead of most big cities and crime is falling very, very fast!
Starbucks is sending their employees to a city where they are almost 50% more likely to be murdered than in Seattle, and where their doctors can be charged with felonies for performing an abortion. Very concerned citizens, I see.

"It was such a painful, terrible experience for the entire nation, particularly for those who lost loved ones," Hillary Clinton says. "It was just a really terrible, terrible assault on our nation. But we rose to it. We were more unified than we have been in a long time." https://to.pbs.org/4h7wNjf
