FYI, if you've noticed I'm not replying as often, it's only because I'm highly stressed and stepping back a lot more.

Nothing personal.

Kthxbye.

"🚨UPDATE: The #US. State Department has fully evacuated all embassy staff from #TelAviv. No more warnings. No more vague statements.

The exits are open—and that only happens when something big is about to go down.

You don’t pull your entire #diplomatic core unless war isn’t just on the table—it’s in the microwave."

" #Trump said you can measure a presidency by the wars you avoid, and for once he was right. Saturday's Iran bombing was the exclamation point on his abject failure

Trump is copying dictators from Mussolini to Putin in seeking glory through pointless war"

BREAKING: My sources say Trump’s National Guard move in LA wasn’t just revenge — it’s part of a larger plan tied to June 14th protests scheduled all over the country.

Reminder...Personal note:

It's been more than my hands, guys, it's been a shoulder thing too. Repetitive motion, blah blah.. resting up as much as I can.

So, I'll be taking some real time off.

I may boost, but don't want to type. I don't even know if I'll do much scrolling.

I'll keep you posted. Thanks.

ADDED: Appreciate you, but please don't give me unsolicited advice. Thank you.

Via Rupar:

these are almost identical to the talking points Putin used to gobble up parts of #Ukraine in 2014 btw

#Trump: "We are dealing with a lot of people from #Greenland that would like to see something happen with respect to being properly protected and properly taken care of. They're calling us, we're not calling them."

"After a month break, I describe U.S. march toward tyranny as a slow cooker, turned up by degrees from Salvadoran gulags to snatched students to detained tourists to big-ticket capitulations. #Trump wants to boil the frog...

...But we are not yet cooked."
