This Thursday, SpaceX insiders will be released from their first post-IPO stock lockup and can cash out early. As I've been saying, this has all the hallmarks of a Ponzi scheme.

118 years is too long to wait for justice. The federal government must honor its treaty obligations to the Navajo and Hopi. Water is a human right, not a bargaining chip for political games. We need to fund this deal and secure clean water for Indigenous communities now. 💧🇺🇸

NEW: It has been 118 years since the Supreme Court ruled the federal government owes tribes water, but Native American communities in northern Arizona are still fighting for their rights to the Colorado River. With @kjzz.org

I'll keep saying this, like Cato the Elder: after the elimination of Khamenei, no threat from Washington will move Iran from its position.
Not threats against Kharg Island.

If the U.S. wants to reopen the Strait, it has only two real options:
reach an agreement with Iran — or use overwhelming force.
There is no third option.

We’ve been saying this for a while now many of the people being targeted are just fishermen. Evidence now supports that the United States has killed individuals who were not involved in drug trafficking during its “counternarcotics interdiction operations” in the Caribbean and Pacific.

“If you take the deal, you’re going to be exploited. If you don’t take it, you’re going to die,” said attorney Frank Ssekamwa about the U.S. demand to access the health data of millions of Ugandans. “It’s the essence of digital colonialism.”

Breaking: ICE is funneling massive DNA data into the FBI’s database, targeting immigrants, children, & even peaceful protesters. Expanding government reach to track families & build a nationwide surveillance system is terrifying. We must fight for privacy & justice! newrepublic.com/post/213887/...

ICE IS KILLING PEOPLE IN THE SHADOWS. Prisciliano Trejo Ricano begged for a doctor. He became the 50th person to die in ICE custody. Anne Frank wasn’t shot; she died of neglect in a camp. ICE uses the same playbook: murder by medical neglect. ICE DETENTION CENTERS ARE DEATH CAMPS.
