The “main goal” of the Iran War may have changed, reports Washington Post: “Israeli officials said securing the [Strait of Hormuz] for energy shipments could become the war’s main goal now that regime change and ending Iran’s ability to obtain a nuclear weapon seem out of reach.”
So the AIM is try to have what we had before the illegal war, but at higher cost and less fuel supply having bombed it.
And all for the cost of 200 Billion and counting

#Trump to deploy #immigration agents to #airports Monday
Trump said Sunday that #ICE agents will be sent to #US airports Monday, with border czar Tom “Bag of Cash” Homan leading the effort. The move comes as #Democrats voice strong opposition & a partial government #shutdown continues to strain airport operations.

CALLING TRUMP'S BLUFF!
Trump says he'll likely hold phone talks with Iran today and claims they both want to make a deal.
HOWEVER......
Iranian Foreign Minister says there are no talks with the United States, claims President Trump's statements are an attempt to lower energy prices and buy time for military plans.

#Palantir Will No Longer Profit Off of New Yorkers’ Health Data
After #TheIntercept exposed Palantir’s deal with #NYC public hospitals, the health care system didn’t renew the contract.
by Sam Biddle, March 24 2026
"A controversial multimillion-dollar deal between New York City’s public hospital system and military contractor Palantir, first reported by The Intercept, is coming to an end, according to recent testimony before the city council.
"The Intercept reported in February that the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation, which operates a network of public health care facilities across the city, had paid Palantir almost $4 million since 2023 for data analysis services. #NYCHH says it used Palantir’s software to boost its efficiency in billing Medicaid and other public benefits, which included the automated scanning of patient health notes.
"The contract prompted #protests from #activists and local organizers who objected to the hospital system’s use of software from a company whose technology has facilitated lethal airstrike targeting, wide-reaching surveillance of American citizens, and deportation raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents."

“They don't think Jesus is going to fix the climate, they think they can throw their garbage in the oceans, burn the forests, pollute the air, drill Baby drill, and instead of having to face the consequences, Jesus will show up and whisk them all away to Christian Heaven where they get to live in paradise while smugly laughing at the sinners burning down below.” - Jim Wright

The *ONLY* reason Trump would attend the WH Correspondents' Dinner would be to set up for a fake assassination attempt.
Tomorrow there will be a new fundraiser and merchandise.
It's to distract from #Iran.
How can someone fire SIX shots and not hit anyone?
It's a fucking magic trick...

Tomorrow’s the day. Protests are happening around the US and around the world! On March 28, we say “No kings!”

CPAC cheers at the thought of Trump getting impeached... Bannon gets rejected by the crowd when he cheers for high gas prices.
The chairman of the Conservative Political Action Conference was stunned on Friday when his audience delivered an unexpectedly awkward response.
“How many of you would like to see impeachment hearings?” Matt Schlapp asked.
The audience cheered, applauded, and cried, “yeah!”
Schlapp quickly cut them off.
“No. That was the wrong answer,” he retorted #USPol
He then jokinly asks for coffee to be brought out for the audience.
I wouldn't drink the "coffee" they bring out. lol Jim Jones Jonestown vibes

❝ The closest historical parallel to what is happening to transgender people in the military is, surprise surprise, Adolf Hitler’s removal of Jewish troops from the Reichswehr and the Wehrmacht. The difference is that Hegseth’s policies on transgender people are even more draconian… the only time a country excludes a group of people from the military… is when they do not even see those people as being valuable as slaves, cannon fodder, or bullet sponges… ❞

Thank you to every person who had choices about where to protest today, and still chose to add their number to a smaller protest.
Sure, it's absolutely impressive to see Philly, Boston, Chicago, L.A. But what's really impressive to me are the smaller towns with enthusiastic participants. It's different when you don't have a big crowd where you can blend in. Granted, I would like to experience one of those huge crowds to see what it's like, but I will probably always prioritize the smaller communities deep in red territory. They might need me more.
At any rate, I am happy for every person who is a part of this in any way whatsoever.
And thank you, Minneapolis/St. Paul for bearing more than your share, and leading the way. We salute you!
Of course he does. Paxton was a full fledged member of the #SeditiousConspiracy to overturn the #2020election. He brought that lawsuit to #SCOTUS to nullify Biden’s win.
He’s also a #criminal, his own staff tried to get him fired from being the #Texas Attorney General.

Gen Yakovleff, fmr NATO dep CoS, has had enough.🚨His assmt of American diplomatic coherence in the Iran #negotiations: stop snorting cocaine btw meetings.
A French general: saying that the US side appears chemically incapable of maintaining a consistent position.
In the past 72 hrs:🚨DC ann direct talks, Tehran denied, Vance was going -then wasn’t going, Kushner was going, Iranians reached out -Iranians said nothing was planned, & Hegseth called the op “laser-focused.”

#IranWar #USPol
Just one month until a Saudi-backed golf tourney holds a tournament at President Trump’s club.
I've heard all kinds of arguments by establishment #USDemocrats about the #US war on #Iran, how bad the strategy was, how its end-goal shifted from regime change to reopening of the Strait, the lack of an exit strategy, that it is "Trump's war", and myriad others, but what I haven't heard is the simple demand:
STOP THE WAR!
Why is that? Why is it that mainstream Democrats can only allude to but never actually utter this simple demand?

I have one wish for the youth of today... and it's that they hate Trump as much as I hated Reagan when I was a young person.
ceasefire at risk.
to israel and the usa “ceasefire” only means “you cease firing back”
your abusive ex breaking into your new home and smashing up the place doesn’t put the restraining order “at risk” 🤷♂️

as #MAGA #GOP #Republican criminals look to reinstate the federal death penalty ―with the nazi barbarism of firing squads, electrocution and gas asphyxiation―, #PopeLeoXIV took to the cameras to commemorate the #abolition of the #deathPenalty in his place of birth, Illinois.
Pope Southside wasted no time calling out right to lifers who cheerlead the death penalty: it goes against Christ’s teachings and RCC doctrine. it’s inadmissible, therefore, a sin.
