The title hides the real outrage.
👉🏾 #Trump draws backlash for comment on Iran war: ‘Maybe we shouldn’t even be there’ https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/16/trump-backlash-iran-war
Basically Trump says #America 🇺🇸 does not even need to protect the Strait of Hormuz because the choke point does not affect the economy of the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸 (it DOES due to synthetic fertilizer & plastic packaging!!!!).
This affects #Europe & #Asia, & we could experience a famine & factory shutdowns due to this conflict if it is not resolved soon!

2026-03-09 16:01:43 UTC

It would take decades for #America 🇺🇸 to embrace #Norway’s 🇳🇴 prison philosophy, but after watching this video I believe it would be wiser for the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸 to consider it.
👉🏾 Why Luxury Prisons are Actually Genius https://youtu.be/svGPePk2Tac
In America 🇺🇸, our prison system is run by the states & the federal government. I think if one of these states embraced the Norway way (pun intended) for treating prisoners, there would be far less reoffenders.

I am for voters using photo ID’s at the voting booth. My state requires them, & even issued photo ID’s for homeless people for free.
I am not supportive of the SAVE act, as it does not support a way for homeless people to obtain photo ID’s free of charge. https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/new-save-act-bills-would-still-block-millions-americans-voting
The Feds should ditch their bill & just mimick what my state does, as it will resolve 99.99% of the issues regarding voters & photo ID’s.

🙄 You’re ignoring the facts presented, especially the one regarding how most Americans (across the political & ethnic spectrum) support voter ID’s with photos. This is not that controversial.

2026-02-13 20:50:04 UTC

- reply

Use Google or your preferred search engine to verify what the article stated. These are facts. The vast majority of Americans are in favor of photo ID at the voting booth.
It is not a huge controversy as most people already need photo ID to buy beer 🍻, cigarettes 🚬, fly on a plane ✈️, buy weapons, & even withdraw large sums of money 💰 at the bank 🏦.
12 states even provide free photo ID’s for the homeless. This issue is not that controversial.

I am not sure which state you live in, but if it is illegal to receive food & water while in line then you might want to contact your state representatives.

Most minorities I know (non-whites) already have state or federal ID with their photo on it, as it is needed for travel, buying beer or if they are stopped by a cop.
Bringing it to the voter booth is a non-issue, & is not even a major concern.

Certified birth certificates can be easily obtained (I had to do this years ago as my birth certificate was decades old) via authorized third party companies or from the birth state itself.
Many people do not have passports, but most have drivers licenses & many states offer free state ID with photo for anyone who asks (including homeless people).
Using a photo ID is not horrific. People use them every day to buy things & for travel.

I have no issues with voter ID laws provided the state allows residents—even homeless people—to register for a state photo ID for free (the latter which many DMV’s provide).
Confirming your identity using a passport (which I use), drivers license, or state photo ID is reasonable, as you need these anyways to purchase guns, airline tickets, cigarettes 🚬 or alcohol 🍺.

All #SpaceX does is win, win…win‽ But honestly, this gives #ElonMusk far more power over employees as well as a way to thwart potential strikes.

Yes. Activists have been arrested & fired from jobs from disrupting businesses.
If it is private property, protestors need to protest on the sidewalk (which is considered public property).
If the church was on public land (say the city park), & protestors showed up, they could legally argue their right to protest due to being on public property.

2026-01-30 21:24:29 UTC

- reply

Disrupting a church service (or any religious service) is considered a serious offense in America 🇺🇸. If the government allows this disruption to go unpunished, it would result in hundreds of thousands (potentially millions‽) of religious buildings being disrupted by protesters, violating the first amendment rights of religious folks.
This would be vehemently opposed by people from all political sides. They can protest outside of the church, but not inside.

2026-01-30 20:43:01 UTC

- reply

Protesting on private property & disrupting a religious ceremony is illegal. It violates the 1st Amendment & most Americans would not want strangers disrupting their houses of worship.
Yes, what ICE is doing is horrific, but that does not justify violating the constitutional rights of others.
I expect the courts to come down hard on Don Lemon, given his status.

Another day, another social platform embracing the #Atmosphere (it is currently in Beta).
It is called Gander Social, & it is hosted in #Canada 🇨🇦: https://gandersocial.ca/
Unlike #WSocial, Gander Social will use the standard Atmosphere protocol, which means they will be able to easily interact with #Bluesky users. They plan on launching sometime this year.
I am curious as to why they chose Atmosphere over the #Fediverse.

So the #Epstein scandal is not enough for #Republicans to distance themselves from Trump, but apparently invading Greenland 🇬🇱 & destroying #NATO is where they draw the line.
The #GOP & #Democrats need to pass a veto proof bill, declaring Greenland 🇬🇱 off limits for American conquest. They also need to publicly state they will remove Trump from office if he invades.

#ChatGPT by #OpenAI is popular, but does not have direct access to a deep well of free information.
#Grok by #X is too controversial due to its unrestrained photo-altering tech (for people—they seem to place limits on certain flags).
Also, Apple has a strong business relationship with Google (they are best frenemies).

With the launch of https://TrumpCard.gov (which costs $1,000,000 plus $15,000 processing fee) which appears to replace EB-1 & EB-2 visa holders, only the affluent will be able to afford these visas.

A simple Google search on #Zambia 🇿🇲 by J.K. Rowling would have easily dispelled such accusations. Zambia 🇿🇲 imprisons #LGBT people, so they obviously would not allow a Transgender player to represent them on the football ⚽️ field.
