No country gets to hold the world hostage for leverage just because they happen to sit next to a Strait. Not Iran. Not anyone.

As a librarian, I’m concerned about nature, environment and of course the Iranian people. However, we are also witnessing the death of valuable knowledge.

As of April 2026, 56+ Iranian sites are damaged. UNESCO verifies hits on Golestan Palace (Tehran) & Isfahan’s 17th-century Chehel Sotoun & Masjed-e Jāme. Over 105,000 civilian buildings, 763 schools, & 55 libraries are affected. These acts violate the 1954 Hague Convention on cultural property.

A close-up, vertical photograph captures a small sparrow-like bird perched atop a hedge during the golden hour. The bird is positioned on the right side of the frame, facing left with its wings partially extended and ruffled, as if caught in a mid-movement flutter or a stretch. Its plumage shows shades of brown and gray with distinct white markings on the wings.
The hedge in the foreground consists of thin, vertical branches with small, oval-shaped leaves that are illuminated by warm, low-angled sunlight, creating a mix of golden-yellow and dark green tones. The background is softly blurred with a bokeh effect, showing the pale, muted colors of a building and a hint of blue sky, which ensures the focus remains entirely on the bird's dynamic posture and the texture of the foliage.

Peace. May our leaders be blessed with intelligence, ethics and their spiritual guides. Have a good evening BlueSky. I feel like we just dodged a bullet. May our gods bless us, the people, with resolve and strength to protect the earth and all its beings.

Please stop saying TACO. We’re talking about an ungodly number of people who could die or maimed. It’s not time for cutesy little internet slang. We have to get away from this bizarre desensitization.

Find and contact elected officials | USAGov Use USAGov’s Contact Your Elected Officials tool to get contact information for your members of Congress, the president, and state and local officials.

We know that our reps’ offices hate having to take calls, and lots of calls really move them to do something because they want the calls to stop. So call or write your reps, ESPECIALLY if they’re republican, and tell them this guy needs to go. Be angry. Be annoying.

So, where is JD Vance? He’s in Hungary with Orban. Why would the Vice President be in Hungary trying to get an autocrat reelected? If we’re bombing Iran, wouldn’t you put the Vice Bozo in a safe bunker in the US?

Miles Taylor: "We’re just three people away from stopping Trump’s madman meltdown.

Three. 

That’s the number of House Republicans who — if they chose to act — could change history. Right now.

By demanding he step down, voting to impeach, or flipping control of the House."
