" Yeah, but have you heard about our ballroom??"

Yeah, but have you heard about our ballroom

“China’s solar power plant in Dunhuang uses around 12,000 mirrors to focus sunlight onto a central tower, heating molten salt to extreme temperatures.

That heat is stored and used to generate electricity on demand, including after sunset.”

Rep Ro Khanna " The Trump admin is asking for $200B more to fund the war in Iran. Here's what we could do

“The Trump admin is asking for $200B more to fund the war in Iran. Here's what we could do with that money for Americans struggling in this economy instead.”

$200 billion would pay for free college for every American, $10 day childcare, 1000 new trade schools, the 40% federal share of special needs education and a lot more.

What are we even doing here?

MAGA is now Iran first?

President Trump said that he would "obliterate" Iran's electricity plants if it did not open the Strait of Hormuz

NYT -“Iran War Live Updates: Tehran Is Defiant After Trump Threatens Power Plants
President Trump said that he would “obliterate” Iran’s electricity plants if it did not open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours. Iran dismissed the ultimatum as its missiles hit southern Israel, including near the country’s main nuclear research center.”

https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03/22/world/iran-war-oil-trump?smid=nytcore-ios-share


AND Iran’s response: NYT:
Ebrahim Zolfaghari, an Iranian military spokesman, vowed that if energy sites were attacked, Iran would target more infrastructure in the region used by Israel, the United States and American allies, including “fuel, energy, information technology and desalination infrastructure.” He added that the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil supply route, would be “completely closed” until any damaged Iranian power plants were rebuilt, in a statement reported by state-run Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, the state broadcaster.

“Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the speaker of Iran’s Parliament, warned on Sunday that attacks on Iranian critical infrastructure would mean that “energy and oil facilities across the region will be considered legitimate targets and will be irreversibly destroyed.” The result, he said on social media, would be a spike in global oil prices that have already climbed by about 50 percent during the war.“

70 to 100 injured! Missiles hit Israel -Israel intercepts not working good tonight

Drop Site News
🚨 BREAKING: ~60 injured, 6 in serious condition in Iranian missile strike on Arad, southern Israel following direct hit

➤ Israel’s Channel 12 described a “very difficult scene,” reporting over 100 injured, while Israel’s official rescue service MDA said at least 59 people have been transferred to hospitals.

➤ Casualty breakdown via Zirat News: 6 in serious condition, 13 moderate, and around 40 with mild injuries.

➤ MDA said the missile directly hit a residential building with multiple entrances. The IDF said the missile carried roughly half a ton of explosives and that two interception attempts failed, adding the projectile was not new and had been used previously.

💢 Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf wrote on X that failed interceptions over heavily defended areas like Dimona (site of an earlier strike today) signal the battle is “entering a new phase,” adding that “Israel’s skies are defenseless” and that “the time has come to implement the next pre-designed plans.” He wished a “Happy Nowruz to the Iranian nation.”

Code Pink's @medeabenjamin: Will you pray that Israel allows food trucks to enter Gaza?

(Lisa McClain -two sides to the story when it comes to starving children)

CODE PINK: Rep. Lisa McClain prays but her words ring hollow when she adds, “There are always two sides to the story.”

Two sides?

Saying “we’re all God’s children” means nothing if you won’t even speak out against Israel blocking food aid.

https://x.com/medeabenjamin/status/1938665275185897633?s=46&t=YZgyyp4w_z7vW3neKxa6cQ

You can’t use prayer to mask complicity.

🇷🇺 Two tankers carrying Russian oil and gas are set to reach Cuba in days.

And Mexico is defying Trump and suggesting they might send oil to Cuba and China gave Cuba 5000 solar panels. All this while Trump wants to starve Cuban people. Will Trump let the Russian ship get to Cuba or will he take the oil????

CODE PINK

🇨🇺🇷🇺 Two tankers carrying Russian oil and gas are set to reach Cuba in days.

The U.S. has unilaterally decided Cuba is “prohibited” from receiving the tankers.

Why does the U.S. think it has a say?

And

In the midst of the current energy crisis in #Cuba, the installation of 5,000 solar systems donated by the People's Republic of China is underway across the country.

Trump - a psychopath like no others

Trump cut off oil shipments to Cuba and their grid collapsed.

“The US has SHUT OFF all oil to Cuba causing their main electrical grid to collapse.” CNN reports:

https://x.com/thecanaryuk/status/2033629701177012629?s=46



The Epstein regime is trying to starve 10 million people.


TRUMP-
Trump's full rant on Cuba: "I think Cuba, in its own way, tourism and everything else, it's a beautiful island, great weather. They're not in a hurricane zone, which is nice for a change, you know? They won't be asking us for money for hurricanes every week. I do believe I'll have the honor of taking Cuba. That's a big honor. Taking Cuba in some form, you know. Taking Cuba. I mean, whether I free it, take it -- I can do anything I want with it, if you want to know the truth."

Cuba’s President- “ “Tens of thousands are waiting for surgeries that cannot be performed, because there is no electricity.

Among them, a significant number of children.”
