Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has a longstanding fascination with the Crusades.
That’s right, the Crusades: the series of late 11th to 13th century medieval wars in which Europeans fought to control the Holy Land. He has tattoos that reference the Crusades, something that actually came up in his confirmation hearing in 2025. And his 2020 book is titled American Crusade.
The final chapter is titled “Make the Crusade Great Again.”

Paul Krugman:
"On Wall Street, TACO — Trump Always Chickens Out — has abruptly been replaced as a favorite meme by NACHO — Not a Chance Hormuz Opens. As a result, oil futures have soared.
So what is preventing the reopening of the Strait? Three factors: Trump’s ego, his ignorance, and the Iranians’ unfortunately justified belief that any agreement they reach with America would be effectively worthless."

"[#MAHA] cast health as a luxury commodity to be achieved through class signifiers like organic food and expensive supplements peddled by wellness influencers, instead of as a collective project that cuts across class, race and other identities. Pesticides expose the lie behind that fantasy. You can shop organic food and grow your own tomatoes, but a stiff breeze can blow the Roundup your neighbor sprayed on his lawn directly into your face."

Just read this really well-informed perspective on the differences between the US and Ukraine. Lots of interesting comparisons that should be an eye-opener for a lot of "Maga" Americans (at least if they were open to changing their minds, haha).
The direction the US is taking right now feels like the fall of the Roman empire, which had everything and didn't know how to deal with that (please note I am really not a historian and this might be completely wrong)

In *Erasing History: How Fascists Re-write the Past to Control the Future,* Jason Stanley observes the “mutually reinforcing” relationship between representation and practice.
How we describe and talk about the past informs how we practice politics and frame the rights of citizenship today.
These stupid A250 trucks are driving around today as SCOTUS guts the Voting Rights Act (6-3) and these two things are mirror images of each other.
Per Guardian:
The man who launched his first bid for the presidency by descending a golden escalator, who has sloshed gold paint all over the White House, not to mention the Aurelian hue he has coloured his own skin, would like us to believe that he, and he alone, is the channel through which America’s so-called “Judeo-Christian” lineage now flows, and that he, and he alone, should be credited for all its future greatness.

"In between those two cited atrocities (genocide in Gaza and school bombings in #Iran), Trump has doubled down on U.S. arms transfers to Israel and acquiesced in its mass starvation and ethnic cleansing policies. Trump continues to participate in the #Gaza #Genocide by sending arms to Netanyahu and his IDF. Under the complicity provision of the Genocide Convention, both Trump and Biden could find themselves subject to arrest and trial at the Hague."

1/ Supposedly Allen shot a SS office in the torso with a shotgun.. I'm calling highest level of bullshit on this.
For those that are unfamiliar, a shotgun especially firing slugs is the ultimate FYL (Fuck your life) personal weapon. If you get hit with that, odds are you won't survive and if you do, you aren't growing shit back like Trump's ear.
My guess is Allen was running through the lobby and the SS shot at him, missed and hit their own

Trying to murder murderers, (If that's what this was, rather than a staged false flag event), doesn't bring justice to the murderers victims or families.
Watch how they spin this story, it's purpose is theatre.
"3rd assassination attempt failed" by "will of God", etc. Expect more Trump as Jesus pics.
Imagine someone had really just tried to kill you, would your first statement be "should I post this on Twitter?" that's verbatim what Trump said on the CCTV (Sunday Telegraph UK)
