WHAT PLANET ARE WE ON? American news isn’t telling the full story. What’s happening around the world is covered internationally—but here, much of it is filtered, downplayed, or unseen. This has been reported globally for some time. Outside the U.S., people actually see it.

Trump wants to block the Strait of Hormuz—but it’s already closed. This isn’t just politics. It’s a geopolitical flashpoint. Global oil supply is impacted as Risk of military escalation rises. Trump says he wants to open it—but how can you open something you’re shutting down?

Trump has put us all in danger. Threats to bomb infrastructure. Escalation without a plan. No objective. No endgame. This isn’t leadership—it’s reckless escalation. The world is watching.

THE WORLD JUST SAID NO. After Donald Trump asked NATO allies to send ships to the Strait of Hormuz, the response was immediate: No. And here’s what should stop everyone cold— They’re allowed in. The United States is not. #america #world #everyone

China Building the Future—America Falling Behind China opened the world’s largest train station—Chongqing East Station—spanning 170 football fields. AI robots did heavy lifting, cutting labor costs 90%. We need to focus on technology, infrastructure, innovation, not war.

MORE MONEY FOR WAR. MORE RISK OF WHAT COMES NEXT. If we were winning, would we be asking for more? Now think about this—what could that money have done for the American people? #america #everyone #world

Watch this—you can’t make this up. And one thing is for sure: Iran now has more money and control of the strait than it did under the old deal—the one we ended, leaving Iran stronger and holding all the cards. Yes—let that sink in. #america #world #everyone

What would the world look like if people from different countries actually talked to each other—real conversations, not headlines or assumptions? I’ve been building something around this idea… and I’ll share more soon. 🤍

Oil Prices EXPLODE as Iran Crisis Escalates | Global Markets on Edge Iran now holds major leverage in the conflict. Oil prices exploded today, $105 a barrel after Trump rejected Iran’s latest peace proposal, while Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu says the war must continue.

While Americans are feeling squeezed by the cost of living, Trump and Republicans are spending billions on a war that was plagued from the start. Via @schiff.senate.gov

Kamala Harris looks like a 2028 candidate. That is bad news for Democrats.

As a child, I loved digging in the dirt and discovering all sorts of stones and shells. I never lost my fascination for fossils, bones, stones, plants or anything having to do with our planet. Our planet is a gift and we must protect it at all costs. #planet #nature #bivalve #fossil #fossils

We need more of this. More hands reaching out. More quiet acts of solidarity. More people believing in each other’s potential instead of tearing each other down.

"Elon Musk, he don't care, he's a fcking billionaire. Nigel Farage, kiss my arse, he's a tool of the ruling class."

Does anyone else's cat do this? Merlin suckles a blanket while making biscuits and purring. It's cute, but also makes me sad - like he was taken away from his mother too soon? (We adopted him from the streets as an adult cat, so no idea if this is true). Cat expertise is welcomed!

Funny how this SCOTUS parody was supposed to be satire. The most remarkable thing about this SCOTUS spoof isn't how funny it was—it's how frighteningly accurate it turned out to be. It feels more like a documentary. Video source: Dirty Hippies Productions #PINKS
