(🚨) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: Trump Tells America He Planned His Iran Policy—Including Unprovoked Major Military Strikes—“A Long Time Ago” and As a “Team” With Israeli War Criminal Netanyahu, Confirming the Entirety of the Proof Trilogy and Proof Project in Stunning Public Confession
(PS) Am watching CNN and there is no acknowledgment whatsoever that Trump said this. It was far and away the only significant thing he said in his two-minute, somewhat mumbling declaration.
(PS2) Jake Tapper is now on-air telling America that this war is not inconsistent with Trump’s pledge of peace.
He then indicated that he trusts Israeli intelligence over American intelligence.
This country is in total darkness right now.
(PS3) I’ve also not heard *one word* about Trump deliberately inciting the Iranians in his little speech by boasting—yes, BOASTING—about his illegal assassination of the second-most popular man in Iran 4.5 years ago. Instead, media insists to us Trump wants peace. JFC, Orwellian.

(🚨) BREAKING: Exactly as happened in 2020 after Trump illegally assassinated the second-most-popular Iranian—and therefore as Trump could easily have predicted, and as media should already have forecast for Americans—Iran has just launched missiles at multiple US military bases.
CNN:
It is certainly possible that, as in 2020, this response is gestural rather than serious. But it might not be, and Trump might deliberately pretend that it is not, and either way there could still be some Americans injured, so who knows what is going to happen now.

(🚨) I’ve never—in 30 years in journalism—published a report like this: one that could really bring *hope*. I spent 15 hours curating/labeling photos from hundreds of No Kings Day protests. It’s the largest archive of its kind (+ lots of Easter eggs).
1/ I almost don’t know where to start in talking about the last 15 hours. They were emotional. I have renewed hope for my country. I also feel renewed awe at its size and scope.
2/ This archive is truly massive. It takes viewers all over the United States—including to some way-off-the-beaten-path corners.

🔻 "Okay this is getting sad now"
More:
🔻 "Criiiiiinge"
🔻 "There is no one there"
🔻 "This is such a boring parade"
🔻 "This parade blows"
🔻 "Live band would've been better"
🔻 "Where are the people?"
🔻 "This is a national embarrassment"
🔻 "Chat is more entertaining than the parade"
More (and yes, these are all real comments):
🔻 "This is kinda boring"
🔻 "SO boring I'm out"

🔻 "They're not even marching in sync"
🔻 "This music is horrible"
🔻 "The crowd is so small"
🔻 "They playing the Kidz Bop versions of famous songs"
Stephen Miller—who's from the area and knows better—calls LA an "occupied city" as part of a ploy to justify a violent, fascist crackdown. Courtesy of Matt Snyder, this map of LA features a to-scale red dot indicating where the protests are.
You'll have to zoom in and look hard.
When the truth of this moment is rewritten by MAGA fascists via some screeching refrain—"Remember when they burned LA to the ground??"—think of this map. Remember how most of LA just went about its daily life. Remember how the images and videos were deliberate misrepresentations.
For those still searching (the dot really is red, but it is so small that it can be tough to even see its color):
Dallas is America’s most conservative big city. It’s the Citadel of the Far Right. It’s where QAnon holds conventions. It’s where Flynn hinted at a coup of the Biden administration. It’s where Trump’s most radical megadonors are.
It’s where I’d most fear a pretextual Kent State.
I’m unnerved that suddenly Dallas—of all places!—is on my TV with cops acting aggressively. This makes little sense, especially given the tiny size and comparative somnambulance of the protest there.
I worry quite a bit about a rogue QAnonist cop deliberately inciting something.
Put another way, if you’re the Dallas police chief and if you’re acting in good faith—not on a partisan Trumpist basis—you’re *floored* that it’s *your* city on a split-screen on CNN and you’re determined to make that stop. Because Dallas should *not* be where anything goes down.
