Whether or not the ceasefire holds, the US-Israeli war on Iran has laid bare the security case for renewables.

Bill McKibben summarized it nicely:

Oil and Gas = Peril and Poverty

Solar and Wind = Prosperity and Protection

Pete Hegseth believes that Jesus guides Tomahawk missiles, even when they hit elementary schools.

I wrote about the roots of his militant faith - from the Crusades to the confederacy - and what they mean for the US and Iran today.

The richest 1% will get $117 billion in tax cuts this year, thanks to Trump.

Thatā€™s more than the combined budgets of eight federal agencies, including the Department of Education and the EPA.

Meanwhile, the bottom 95% will see their taxes increase.

Itā€™s clear who he governs for.

Trumpā€™s regulators havenā€™t lifted a finger to crack down on these suspicious trades.

Meanwhile, Don Jr. is involved with both Polymarket & Kalshi ā€” and the Trumpsā€™ social media company is launching its own prediction market.

Of course they stand to gain from this shadiness going unchecked.

When the American military was woke, trans, and gay?

The Strait of Hormuz was open.

Now that the American military is run by "Warrior" Christian Nationalists still stuck in the seventh-grade?

The Strait of Hormuz is CLOSED.

DHS did the same earlier today. It was for exactly as vile and racist a reason as you can imagine; Breitbartā€™s ā€œblack crimeā€ vertical as official government policy. They are terrible, terrible people. And theyā€™re in control.

The war with Iran delayed Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption trial.

The war with Iran got people to stop talking about Trump's connections to Jeffrey Epstein.

So both men had corrupt motives for colluding to start a senseless war. Because they only care about themselves, not the people they kill.

He's spiraling and knows he is losing. So he is doing what he always does: smashing the racism button as hard as he can, with the most lurid shiny ball available. As each heroin hit has less impact, the dose has to increase. So now...snuff videos.
