Despite the U.S.' claims that it has fully blocked the Iranian oil trade since Monday, @lalehkhalili.bsky.social says over a dozen ships have sailed through the Strait of Hormuz — a drop in the bucket compared to before the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, when the strait handled over 100 crossings daily.
Journalist @jeremyscahill.com from @dropsitenews.com says the Trump administration is in "a state of total chaos" as it tries to end the Middle East war it launched. Iran, meanwhile, is confident in its position because of "the three M's on their side: munitions, markets and the midterms."

Hungary's far-right leader, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, is facing his biggest challenge in 16 years. Orbán "is so far behind in the polls that even his rigged election system will probably not save him this time, and it's causing some panic in the right wing," says @kimlanelaw.bsky.social.
Guido Reichstadter is a former U.S. Marine who left the service after refusing to deploy to the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003. Here's why he scaled the 168-foot Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge in Washington, D.C. to protest the war on Iran.

When the Trump administration tells you they'll strengthen the economy by cutting the programs working families depend on, look closer at who actually benefits. We should increase funding to SNAP, infrastructure, R&D, and education because that's what actually builds a stronger economy.
OMG!!! 2 WEEKS??? Iran was just 2 weeks away after 40 years of being 2 months away... By March 2026, public U.S. intelligence and the IAEA had concluded Iran was not currently building a nuclear weapon; a 2025 U.S. assessment said Tehran was not building a weapon...

President #Trump said today, “I cut your taxes, cut the taxes on workers, families, small business, who are the soul of this state.” He failed to say that his huge cuts for the super-rich left everyone else paying more of the total tax burden.
"Russia is going to be helping. Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed." In December 2025, US president Donald Trump said a draft agreement to end the Russia-Ukraine war was nearly '95% done' and the leaders signaled progress. There is absolutely no need to pressure the U.S. 🫶😊

Trump tried to slap his name on the Kennedy Center like it was one of his tacky hotels. Today a federal judge made clear what we've said all along: He had no legal authority to do it. The Kennedy Center belongs to the American people. Now and always. How fitting that today is JFK’s birthday!
