The administration said this to the people in Iran and 40,000 were killed in the streets. While I doubt the Cuban government would do such a thing, the present US government is utterly faithless and will forget the Cuban people even exist in short order.

"To those who seek to create positive change in Cuba - now is the time. The disappointment of failed promises, corruption, and the privileged lives of only a few; seize this opportunity to create the change you desire through a discrete partnership with the CIA." - US Secretary of State Marco Rubio

BREAKING: SCOTUS rejects Trump admin's request to allow it to end gender-affirming medical care in prisons — a significant, if tentative, rejection of one of the admin's most extreme anti-trans arguments. Only Thomas and Alito noted they would have granted the stay. More to come: www.lawdork.com

Yeah, they've done nothing with the money and haven't shown the West how to deal with Russian aggression at all

Trump: "We've given a lot to Ukraine. They've given nothing to us."

Seems like my hunch was right. 30 years to build "something" underground only for it to get turned into a giant museum

A Korean king ordered a bunch of linguists to come up with a written language to increase literacy due to the difficulty of chinese and they came up with one of the easiest to read languages in existence.

Happy Hangul Day! It's a Korean holiday honoring the best and easiest alphabet in the world! Everyone in Korea gets the day off work to contemplate it, but it only takes fifteen minutes to learn! So today, learn to read Korean in 15 minutes!

You can express power by commanding armies or by getting people to wear your shitty shoes and change their vocabulary to fit your whims. Trump is demonstrating how much power he has and just how emasculated those who comply are. It's very Louis XIV at Versailles

Philip Bump@pbump.com

a sure sign that something is "highly accepted" is if you have to threaten to impose the power of the state against those who don't accept it

Suddenly the "MAGA Mike Beltran" ads where he pledges undying loyalty to Trump have switched to ads promoting his alleged bipartisan efforts & claiming "I'll work with both parties". I guess things are getting tight here in Florida.

I thought it was 57🤔

Trump: "I get along great with Kim Jong Un. Kim Jong Un, you know who that is? North Korea. When people have 112 nuclear missiles, it's nice to get along."

After having abandoned an unfinished retractable radar site decades ago (the big hole), North Korea finally put up an early-warning radar system in 2019-21 west of Nampo. @ 38.739778° 125.260981° #AccessDPRK

I couldn't think of a better use for golf courses

In one of the world’s most densely populated and mountainous countries, developers are running out of sites big enough to host major solar projects. Golf courses are some of the last tracts of open land available. bloom.bg/4iSzuaV 📷️: EDP S.A.

Can we call it apartheid now

The Knesset barred today the only two Palestinian led parties from running in the coming election. According to an overwhelming majority in the Knesset, the constitutional meaning of a Jewish State is a state where Palestinian citizens cannot run for parliament.

This needs to apply to all of the "yes men" who enable blatant lawlessness. (They're the only reason any of Trump's BS happens) From the janitors, painters, social media managers to agency heads, their ability to serve in office or to ever get tax dollars/contracts again should be over.

Joanne Freeman@jbf1755.bsky.social

Anyone associated with trying to tear down the Center—workers included—should be held legally liable. Whether or not he’s immune—no one else is. Make it hard to “play along.” Make it hard for “yes men.” Add a price.

There were NO major financial problems facing the Kennedy Center prior to 2025 that would require them to close. The only thing that changed, Trump. They're closing out of spite

Trump really doesn't care that Americans die

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com

Reporter: "Chinese entities may have provided the Iranians with satellite imagery at the air base in Jordan [where 3 soldier were killed]." Trump: "They do what we do. They basically do what we do." Reporter: "Are you going to raise that with Xi?" Trump: "I think he's behaved reasonably well."

In 1801, Jefferson issued an order to executive branch officers "not [to] attempt to influence the votes of others, nor take any part in the business of electioneering, that being deemed inconsistent with the spirit of the Constitution."

1) admits it's a war 2) admits we haven't, in fact, won it 17 times already

Trump: "Food prices and almost every other item are rapidly going down, and by the way oil will be going down as soon as we win the war with Iran."

In honor of Star Trek's 60th anniversary, I would like to pay homage to the woman who made it possible. The woman who took a chance on a little show with endless possibilities that we enjoy to this day. A shrewd businesswoman and America's Favorite Redhead. The one, the only, Lucille Ball.

🆕 Nothing New Under the Golden Dome by Sam Lair, Jeffrey Lewis, and Aaron Stein. The authors developed a model to tailor interceptor satellite constellation size to various adversary missile threats and estimate the cost of those constellations. Click below to read their conclusions.

Chilling in even a suburban backyard is something that holds so much. Watching the bees hang out a few inches above the ground, going after white and blue and pink flowers, with dragonflies overhead; their shadows zipping along the ground. Squirrels chattering with each other, the birds in trees.

I don’t know how many members of the military will receive the message but it simply could not be clearer that this administration doesn’t give a flying fuck about anyone it’s putting in harm’s way

The purpose of the ICC doesn't threaten any legitimate exercise of national sovereignty. But Trump's attempts to undermine the Court threaten every man, woman, and child alive & will only embolden the worst impulses of leaders.

Trump claiming North Korea has *exactly* 57 nukes is an oddly specific number that makes me wonder 1) did he just make it up or 2) did he let slip something classified yet again? Public estimates range from Kim having 50 nuclear devices to as many as 120.
