Trump started a war with Iran to cover up the Epstein Files and make money. Ballroom Republicans supported this disaster. It's not going well:
Trump reversed on his "Operation Freedom" after Saudi's threatened to suspend use of their bases. Trump's just an errand boy for whoever yells at him last. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/trumps-abrupt-u-turn-plan-re-open-strait-hormuz-came-backlash-allies-rcna343845
The top Iranian negotiator is openly mocking Trump. https://www.forbes.com/sites/siladityaray/2026/05/07/top-iran-negotiator-mocks-operation-trust-me-bro-and-questions-reports-of-trumps-peace-proposal/

The administration calls it a "little detour." One hundred seventy-four civilians dead. Twenty-five billion dollars. Zero congressional votes. When the past RNC chair calls it war crimes, you're not reading partisan screed—you're reading a smoke alarm. The land is keeping score. It always has.

Leaving X.
German parties leaving, collectively, is more than a symbolic exit. It is a chance to reassess how and where political communication happens.
A platform’s relevance is not inherent. It is constructed through user behavior. And when influential users walk, the relevance begins to erode.

There are many problems with #USA #democracy
Like the stupid #ElectoralCollege
Gore beat Bush in 2000, Clinton beat Trump in 2016. In the popular vote. The EC erased it
Well here's another reason for you to #vote in the #primaries and the general #election:
The #Democrats, if they win enough in November, can kill the EC
It's been a 20 year effort of states agreeing to void the EC if enough agree: the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact

Let's check in on the failures of Donald Trump, Ballroom Republicans, and the GOP:
China is going in on wind power while we falter. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/05/business/china-wind-turbines.html
We're cancelling wind projects left and right. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/climate/wind-power-delays-trump-pentagon.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

Sixty-two percent of this country has looked at the man in the Oval Office and said no. That is not a whisper. That is a hull breach. But a cornered animal doesn't retreat — it reaches for the nearest sovereign nation and flings it at the wall. Cuba. An aircraft carrier. An executive order before lunch. The disapproval is real.

Democrats are increasingly bullish on the midterms as the Ballroom Republicans flail. https://thehill.com/newsletters/morning-report/5861844-midterm-battleground-six-months/

U.S. Politics, librarians

In the same vein as above, via Kelly Jensen: "These five librarians are running for state political offices across the country. Here's why they're running, and why librarians make good candidates."
Keeping in mind that *some* librarians out there are white supremacists and Nazi supporters, Kelly's point is very much still valid: just, vet your own librarian candidate before you support them.

Report: UK's Starmer says people who chant 'globalise the intifada' must be prosecuted.
Yet, "there have been no recorded incidents in the UK of an antisemitic attack involving the phrase 'globalise the intifada'."
Anti-genocide protesters "have strongly denied that 'globalise the Intifada' is antisemitic or a call for violence, & British Jews have been prominent in pro-Palestine marches in the UK".
