Looks from here like the Trump regime is hoping Iran will provide a Reichstag fire-type event (look it up) in the U.S. -- see those scary warnings of attacks on California.

Why? A pretext to escalate domestic fascism, such as even more direct interference with this year's elections.

It is genuinely not that complicated. Some people have too much. Most people have too little. One of these groups funds think tanks.

WHO PROFITS?

Oil markets are exploding as Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz sends crude past $100 a barrel. But behind the headlines lies a deeper question: who actually profits from the crisis?

A new deep dive from Aure Free Press follows the money—from U.S. shale producers to oil billionaires and political power networks linked to Trump.

We have early voting for primaries in Illinois starting today, so tomorrow I'm going to drive to the township office and cast my vote. I didn't get a mail in ballot for the primary but I can vroom it to the township office. Shouldn't be too crowded.✅

From a war baby survivor who misses my overseas family & unable to be with them. I'm unable to help them out as much as I want to. My parents never wanted to leave the only place they were born & loved so much. We never chose to be war refugees. We never chose to be displaced. We never chose for our family compound to be bombed 3 times - leaving nothing but rubble & blood stains of our beloved family.

Hey, everyone I know from Texas: go vote today if you already haven't.

It's primary day, which is more important than folks make it out to be. If you ever bemoan your choices in the main election, now's the chance to pick someone you like better to run for whichever party you usually vote with.
