• The false claim: Trump's White House press secretary announced that the Secret Service detail for former Vice President Kamala Harris had been revoked.
• The facts: While presidents can extend Secret Service protection for former vice presidents beyond the standard six-month period, the Trump administration confirmed that this protection was being terminated. Experts have described the move as unusual, while Harris's allies called it vindictive. The action has sparked political debate, though it is not a "lie" in the same vein as a false statement of fact.  (AI Mode)

Oh, yeah, it's gonna be a glorious day, isn't it?  Our 'hero', Donald Trump, 'bravely' sent out B-2 bombers and attacked Iran.  Yay!  Our hero!

Except, uh, it didn't work out quite that way.  The bombs fell, to be sure, but the reactor sustained only minimal damage.   Ooops.

Meanwhile, how do people in the US feel about this war???

Uh... I think that says it all, don't you?

But you CAN do something.   Hands Off is a great place  to start. Indivisible  is another great place. Another great blog is fafo.org.   If  you want to get to a really adventurous trek, start your own protest! It doesn't matter whether it's  five people or 100,000. It doesn't matter if you're from #Anna, #Antioch, #Arcanum, #Ashley or #Attica  in #Ohio -  or anywhere in the United States - just do it!!!   

By the way, the second  nominates her/himself on the anti-trans bandwagon, offer your services in opposition  immediately!!! I can't make any promises, but the sooner you're working, the better the chances!  Oh,, if no one sticks their toe out, YOU can do it!!!
