XRP To $1,000? Analyst Builds A $100T Thesis Payment volume alone cannot justify a $1,000 $XRP price target, analyst xrpl_Adam argues. He says fast settlement times mean coins get reused constantly, shrinking the float needed for transactions. The real driver, he argues, would be XRP being locked as collateral... show more

🚨BULLISH: CIRCULATING SUPPLY OF $XRP IS SMALLER THAN YOU THINK Analyst Versan Aljarrah of Black Swan Capitalist argues $XRP's true circulating supply is far smaller than most realize, and global settlement adoption would shrink it further. Once escrow, institutional reserves, and tokens locked in active payment rails are removed, available float drops significantly. With 6 spot ETFs live, $1.4B in institutional inflows, exchange balances falling, and the SEC case resolved, demand pressure is building fast. If banks adopt XRP at scale for cross-border settlement, basic supply-demand math points to major price discovery ahead.

🚨 Jerome Powell Had CONFIRMED IT: America Is About to Get a Brand-New Instant Settlement Payment System “We’re also investing heavily right now in building a new SETTLEMENT SYSTEM for instant payments in the US.” He didn’t say the word… because he couldn’t. But let’s be real, the evidence is screaming: ✅ Instant settlement ✅ Cross-border ready ✅ Zero intermediaries ✅ Already battle-tested by central banks worldwide ✅ The exact tech Ripple has been building - The XRP Ledger This is XRP being quietly installed as the backbone of America’s money rails. Earlier, even President Trump openly said that the crypto market bill will upgrade the banking and financial system to 21st century using blockchain technology. The “new settlement system” is the code word. We are so early it’s actually illegal.

🚨 Ripple’s Next Big Move Could Be Tokenizing Oil On The XRP Ledger. Ripple’s Middle East & Africa MD Reece Merrick, right after Dubai Land Department’s Phase 2 launched controlled secondary trading of tokenized real estate on XRPL: “This is a massive step for real-world asset adoption in Dubai.” Dubai real estate now trading on-chain, on XRPL. Physical assets at scale in the oil capital of the world? Ripple’s Gulf footprint (verified partnerships only): • UAE → Zand Bank (AEDZ stablecoin + RLUSD custody/liquidity on XRPL rails) + Ctrl Alt/Dubai Land Dept (live real-estate tokenization + Ripple Custody) + DFSA license • Saudi Arabia → MoU with Jeel (Riyad Bank innovation arm) for cross-border payments, custody & RWA tokenization pilots • Bahrain → Strategic partnership with Bahrain Fintech Bay for tokenization PoCs, stablecoins, payments & fintech ecosystem build BlackRock is a major player and Larry Fink said that Tokenization is going to be the next big thing. At the same time, when asked about XRP, he said, “I can’t talk about it right now” and smirked. Ripple is the only crypto company that has entered the repo and mortgage market, and XRP/XRP ETF could be used as collateral in the markets in the near future. Also: UAE & India already executed a landmark crude oil trade settled entirely in local AED + INR currencies with RippleNet using XRP Ledger. Oil is the Gulf’s biggest physical asset. The infrastructure is already live. Next move? 👀⛽

🚨🤯 JP MORGAN’S NDA JUST BLEW THE LID OFF THE XRP BOMBSHELL Jamie Dimon KNEW This The Whole Damn Time. Dimon straight-up admitted: “Blockchain is real… it’s becoming more effective and efficient… faster and cheaper… Permissioned or not… Smart contracts will probably be real.” He wasn’t describing some vague future tech. He was describing the XRP Ledger. Fast forward to right now: JP Morgan (via Kinexys) just executed the first-ever cross-border, cross-bank transaction connecting the XRP Ledger directly to interbank settlement rails with Ripple, Mastercard, and Ondo Finance. Tokenized U.S. Treasuries settled in under 5 seconds, outside banking hours, across borders. Game over for the old system. But wait. This is bigger than one transaction. JP Morgan just dropped a massive Web3 digital identity initiative: private, self-sovereign identity where people actually own and control their own data. No more centralized honeypots. Immutable. User-controlled. Exactly the future they’ve been building toward. And right now, DNA Protocol is building precisely that on the XRP Ledger using ZK-proofs for private, institutional-grade credential systems. Private Identity. Compliant. Sovereign. JP Morgan’s private Web3 identity vision just found its perfect home on XRPL. The NDA got exposed. The pilot just went live. The dots are connecting in real time. XRP + XDNA. This could be the biggest institutional play in crypto history. The banks aren’t fighting the future anymore. They’re plugging directly into it. Who’s ready? 👇

32 coins. $2.5 million. 0.0038% of the stack. That is the sale the market is now blaming for a $3 billion liquidation cascade and a Bitcoin price nearly halved from its peak. A $2.5 million sale cannot move a trillion-dollar asset. It is a rounding error. In the same week, Strategy raised $128.3 million selling its own stock, 50 times larger. It did not need to sell coins. It chose to. The crash has real drivers: a record 13-day run of ETF outflows, a rotation into AI, a Fed in no hurry to cut. But the accelerant the market keeps naming is 32 coins. The coins were never the point. The signal was. And the signal was deliberate. Michael Saylor told the Q1 call he would “probably sell some bitcoin to pay a dividend just to inoculate the market and send the message that we did it.” His logic was sound: prove the Bitcoin is usable capital, not a vault that can never be opened, and show he is not a prisoner of his own vow. His “never sell” always meant be a net accumulator. He is up more than 170,000 coins this year against the 32 he sold, and he scores himself on one number, Bitcoin per share. By that math, defending the dividend with a sliver was discipline, not distress. The market read it as the opposite. The dose became the catalyst now blamed for the crash. The inoculation became the infection. Because what changed was never Strategy’s solvency. It was its identity. The market has stopped pricing a permanent holder and started pricing what the filings always described: a state-contingent allocator now funding its own preferred dividends, at the margin, from the Bitcoin beneath them. And the buffer is thinning. The cash reserve behind those dividends has fallen from $2.25 billion to $900 million. Against a preferred bill near $1.7 billion a year, that is roughly 6 months of runway. Be precise. This is not a death spiral. Strategy still holds 843,706 Bitcoin, worth more than $50 billion even now, and has more funding levers than almost any company alive. A real rally makes this a footnote, and the sell-side calling the reaction overdone is not wrong on the fundamentals. But the regime has changed. The question is no longer Bitcoin’s price on any given day. It is the cadence of the dividend declarations and the path of that reserve. Bitcoin did not acquire a yield. The wrapper acquired liabilities. This week the market learned that difference costs far more than 32 coins.

Sold 32 coins. Bought 1,550. 48 times more, at a 15% discount, into the crash the market blamed on the sale. Strategy disclosed today that while everyone panicked over its $2.5 million Bitcoin sale, it was quietly buying the dip that panic created. 1,550 Bitcoin for $101 million, at $65,332 a coin, far below the $77,135 it sold for and below its own cost basis. The bears called the sale the first crack, a forced liquidation, the start of the death spiral. The answer was a buy 48 times the size of the sale that scared them. This is the machine we described: a state-contingent allocator. Above its funding line, it turns market access into Bitcoin. The sale was the exception. The buy is the rule. It also closed the question the sale opened. The cash reserve behind the preferred dividends had thinned to $900 million, about six months of cover. He rebuilt it to $1 billion in the same week. But watch how, because that is the real story. He funded none of it with coins. He funded it with $181 million of freshly issued stock, then spent it on Bitcoin and the reserve. The coins were never the funding source. The equity is. That is the flywheel working exactly as built, and the cost of it surfacing at the same time. Every turn now runs on issuing shares, and the premium that once made each share buy more Bitcoin than it diluted has compressed hard. He bought low. He sold his own stock low to do it. So the question quietly turns. It was never whether Saylor sells his Bitcoin. He just proved again that he buys far more than he sells. It is what each turn of the engine now costs in dilution, and how long the market keeps paying a premium worth that cost. He bought the dip. The dip was partly his own making. And he paid for it in equity, not coins.

Ripple Breaks Ground in the UAE, as RLUSD Becomes the First U.S. 🇺🇸 Stablecoin Approved Under DFSA 🇦🇪Framework Ripple has officially become the first blockchain company to have its stablecoin RLUSD approved by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) for use within the prestigious Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). This marks a historic inflection point in the evolution of global stablecoin regulation and sets a bold precedent for the industry. For the first time, a U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin is fully licensed under a Gulf state’s comprehensive virtual asset regulatory regime, unlocking real world use cases across the Middle East’s most advanced financial sandbox. RLUSD can now be integrated into Ripple’s DFSA approved payment infrastructure, as well as deployed by banks, fintechs, and asset managers operating in the DIFC. The UAE, particularly Duba, has positioned itself as a forward thinking digital finance hub, balancing innovation with regulatory oversight. With this approval, RLUSD becomes a compliant liquidity vehicle in a region increasingly looking to bypass outdated correspondent banking systems. It can now power real estate tokenization; as seen with the Dubai Land Department, crossborder payments, merchant settlements, and enterprise treasury flows, all while leveraging XRPL Ripple’s regulatory win sends a powerful message to global players “the path forward isn’t through avoidance, it’s through alignment.” As the UAE becomes a proving ground for regulated stablecoin deployment, other jurisdictions may follow suit, especially those seeking to integrate blockchain without surrendering compliance. This raises the bar for all stablecoin issuers. RLUSD isn’t algorithmic, opaque, or dependent on walled off ecosystems, it’s interoperable, regulated in both the U.S. (via NYDFS) and Dubai, and deeply embedded in XRP Ledger infrastructure. It now stands as the gold standard for stablecoins used in institutional grade finance. RLUSD is the on-ramp. XRP is the engine. As RLUSD flows into corridors like UAE - India, UAE - Africa, and UAE - Europe, XRP becomes the bridge asset to handle illiquid pair conversions and global net settlement. Every RLUSD transaction that hits an exotic corridor where the stablecoin lacks liquidity is an invitation for XRP to step in and close the gap via On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) and decentralized market making. As real estate, commodities, and government-backed tokenization schemes roll out across the jurisdiction XRP gains transactional volume, liquidity demand, and regulatory tailwinds. The DeepFreeze amendment and compliance frameworks coming online only reinforce XRPL’s role as the programmable settlement layer for tokenized finance. SMQKE had shown that 5400 currencies have been issued on the XRPL

Is Michael Saylor about to get a margin call? No. And the reason is more interesting than the rumor, because what he built instead may be harder to escape than one. A margin call needs a lender who can seize collateral when the price drops. Strategy has none. Its $6.7 billion in debt is convertible notes, the largest tranche due in 2029, with no loan-to-value trigger and no clause that lets anyone take a coin because Bitcoin fell. Saylor learned that in 2022, when he did have a collateralized loan and sweated a liquidation price, then rebuilt the structure so it could never happen again. On the literal question he is right, and the people calling for his liquidation this week do not understand what they see. But killing the fast death created a slow one almost nobody is pricing. To fund his buying, Saylor issued a mountain of perpetual preferred stock that pays a fixed dividend forever, near 11.5 percent, no matter where Bitcoin trades. That annual bill quadrupled from about $300 million in January to roughly $1.2 billion now, while the cash reserve that pays it fell 38 percent this year to near $1.4 billion, after the company spent $1.5 billion in May retiring debt. Put those two numbers together and you get the figure that actually matters, and it is not a Bitcoin price. It is a countdown. Dividend coverage, the time the cash can keep paying that bill, has collapsed from more than seven years in early 2026 to between ten and fourteen months, depending on whose math you use. Months, not years. The market is already pricing it, just not where the rumor is looking. That preferred stock is engineered to sit at $100. Last week it cracked to $82.50, a record 17.5 percent below par. That discount is investors quietly clocking the strain while the timeline screams about a margin call that cannot happen. There is a clean way out, and it is the one door the structure was built to keep shut. Restoring a safe two years of coverage takes about $2.8 billion, roughly double what Strategy holds, and the fastest path there is to sell Bitcoin. But selling crystallizes a $10.6 billion loss, breaks the never-sell promise that gives the stock its premium, and bleeds the very asset the machine exists to hoard. The exit and the wound are the same cut. He already brushed it, selling 32 coins on June 1 to cover a payment. Thirty-two against more than 847,000 is a rounding error in size and an earthquake in meaning, because the company that swore it would never sell, sold, to pay a dividend. And there is a second trigger almost no one has read, buried in the fine print. If Saylor ever simply skips a preferred payment to save cash, the missed amount compounds, the senior layer can ratchet its rate higher, a senior miss freezes payments to every junior layer beneath it, and after enough missed quarters those preferred holders can start taking board seats. No one seizes a coin. But control begins migrating to the people he owes. The clock does not just run down. It hands away the keys at the end. So the honest verdict is the one neither side is shouting. There is no margin call and no imminent bankruptcy. The structure protects him exactly as designed. What it cannot protect him from is a fixed bill that grows while the cash shrinks, where every exit deepens the hole. Sell Bitcoin and break the story. Issue stock into a price near its lowest since 2024 and punish your holders. Skip the dividend and start losing the company by the boardroom. Saylor did not escape the margin call. He traded a cliff for a clock. A cliff takes you in an afternoon and a stranger pulls the trigger. This clock takes months, and at the end the trigger is pulled by the only two forces he swore would never touch it, his own hand, or the people he owes. The rumor asks whether someone is about to call his loan. The real question is how many months he can keep paying before he has to sell the dream, dilute the believers, or hand over the board to keep the lights on.

🚨 CHINA WILL PUMP GOLD PRICE TO $38,000 PER OUNCE COMEX, where the world's gold price gets set, is 100:1 paper to physical. For every ounce of actual gold, there are 100 ounces of paper claims trading against it. Less than 5% of COMEX contracts ever result in real delivery. The rest is speculation settled in cash. Nobody touches the metal. In January 2026, gold crashed 12% in hours. From $5,595 to $4,941. That crash happened entirely on paper. While COMEX was collapsing, physical gold in Shanghai traded at a $50-80 premium above the "official" price. Same asset. Two different prices. Because one market trades gold, and the other trades promises about gold. Now China is done playing that game. The Shanghai Gold Exchange requires actual physical delivery. No cash settlement. No paper games. China imports over 1,000 tonnes of gold a year. Largest gold buyer on earth. Every gram that enters the country goes through this exchange. The People's Bank of China has been stacking gold every single month, pushing reserves past 2,300 tonnes. The message is simple. The West trades gold like a casino chip. 100 paper claims for every real ounce. China is building an exchange where the price is set by people who actually hold the metal. If physical demand ever forces a real delivery squeeze, the paper price and the real price stop being the same number. And the exchange that has the actual gold decides what happens next.

JPMorgan's JPM Coin just landed in Argentina, and it could be the start of a much bigger Latin American push. A group of Argentine banks including Banco CMF through its corporate unit QORP has begun piloting JPM Coin, JPMorgan's fiat-backed deposit token, for interbank settlement and reconciliation. The pilot is currently running without real money, using blockchain to record and reconcile transactions while traditional systems handle final settlement, but Banco CMF's CIO says the goal is to verify improvements in settlement times of up to 50%. Banco Galicia, BIND, and Banco Comafi are reportedly evaluating whether to join. The timing is notable. Argentina's central bank still bars banks from offering crypto to customers, but internal blockchain use is not prohibited, and that restriction is under active review. JPMorgan opened JPM Coin to institutional clients on the Base Layer 2 network in November 2025 and expanded to the Canton Network in January. The Argentine pilot is its first confirmed emerging market foothold. Latin America recorded $1.5 trillion in crypto transaction volume between 2022 and 2025. If Argentina proves out the model, JPMorgan has explicitly flagged Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico as the next logical targets.

Unfortunately he won't take the room for 5 days because as he puts it, it's not permanent and he believes he will be back on the streets afterwards as it's happened to him previously he tells me. I've tried my hardest to reassure him that I won't let that happen but he says he's been let down so many times before that he just doesn't believe it and is happy where he is until I can find him a permanent room in a shared house I've spoken with him long and hard over the last week and I've come to the conclusion based on everything he's told me and my research that he's not a British army veteran with a service number he talks of being a mercenary part of the 13 commandos part of the French foreign legion and has the cap badge on his hat. What I do know is he's a 59 year old man with health problems but no drug or alcohol problems that is living in a tent in wasteland. My level of support hasn't changed he shouldn't be in wasteland in a tent rotting away with no family no support in 2025 I'm going to try my hardest this week to secure a room in a shared house the 5 night stay at the guest house is non refundable but it is what it is I just wanted to make sure he woke up on his 60th birthday in a better place. We tried our hardest but it doesn't always work out how you planned it in your head. Thank you all for sharing and raising awareness and thank you to Robert a long time supporter who has purchased a birthday cake for me to give him tomorrow 💙

Trump: losing world reserve currency would be worse than losing a major war, we wouldn't be the same country anymore And yet, it looks like the US is losing both... a major dollar and the world reserve currency - It has suffered a humiliating defeat against Iran - Is about to lose the petrodollar The petrodollar system only works as long as the US can enforce it... militarily and politically. That was always the deal. Security in exchange for oil being sold in USD and surpluses being recycled into US assets. The GCC are quickly realizing that they got a target on their back instead of security. When this war is over, there won't be any US military presence left in the region. The GCC countries will look for new alliances and make new deals... multipolarity sets in That’s exactly what we are seeing now. - The UAE establishing an integrated cross-border payment system with China - yuan foreign bond issuance is surging up ~70% in H1 2026 - Iran demanding yuan for Hormuz transit Step by step, settlement moves away from USD. Less dollar demand -> less recycling into Treasuries -> higher yields -> more pressure on the system

Regarding the Eric Trump / Daniel Cormier “text scandal”, I am open to being convinced otherwise, but I do not believe for one second that Eric Trump would text something so stupid to Daniel Cormier. It’s laughably stupid on its face to think that Eric Trump would ask a UFC commentator if any of the fights are “rigged”. That he would ask it in writing. And that he would not, for example, just pick up the phone and call Dana White or Joe Rogan himself. That said, I just want to understand what happened. Daniel Cormier said he was hacked. Is that to say he was hacked at the text level, or the X post level? Did he in fact make the post, and delete it? If he made the post, did he do it as a joke to illustrate how absurd the text hack was, but realized how the post could be misinterpreted as real? Or did someone make the post from his X account he subsequently deleted it. I know there are some who are going to say he made the post in earnest, thinking the text messages were real, intending to call out the “corruption”, and he has since been threatened, deleted the post, and claimed “hack”, etc. I can tell you exactly why I do not believe, even if he made the post, he did it believing the text message was real, intending to call out the “corruption”. If Cormier seriously thought the text messages were real, he would understand that by posting it publicly, it would literally destroy the UFC, his livelihood and his legacy - in addition to the legacy of everyone who has ever competed in the UFC. There is no realm of the universe in which even if it were in fact a real text that he actually received from Eric Trump, he would post it publicly. Because it would mean the end of the UFC. I just want to know if he actually made the post from his X account, or if the entire post was the result of a hack (hence the subsequent deleting of the post). Serious and sincere questions for clarity that would benefit everyone Eric Trump

🔴 "Buffer zone"? Sounds like Russia finally plans to return to its own borders “A decision has been made to create a security buffer zone along the Russia–Ukraine border,” – declared Putin, adding that Russian forces are “already working on it.” So wait — are they actually admitting that the real border is the one they crossed in 2014 and again in 2022? Is this their awkward way of preparing for retreat, or just another schizophrenic fantasy from a regime that bombed maternity hospitals while screaming about “defense”? The irony is that this “buffer zone” could actually be the first honest phrase they’ve used in years — if it means clearing the occupied territories and returning behind their own lines. But of course, that’s not what they mean. What they want is to steal more land and then call it “defensive.” What they want is to erase Ukraine and then label it peacekeeping. Just look at Putin’s face when he says it — face of evil, the cold stare, twitching jaw, artificial calm. It’s not the look of a strategist. It’s the hollow mask of a dictator cornered by his own delusions, clinging to control with a vocabulary soaked in blood. He speaks of “security,” but what he means is domination. He says “buffer,” but he dreams of empire. And yet, the only real buffer the world needs now is between humanity and this regime of terror. One that starts with pushing Russian troops out — and ends with Putin standing alone on the historical territory of Russia that he so wanted to return, which is actually smaller than Liechtenstein.

That's Mariyappan Thangavelu. Just few hours back he won India's 🇮🇳 first ever Gold Medal in High Jump at World Para Athletics. Media won't share stories of such incredible athletes. But should know more about him. At the age of 5, he met with an accident where a drunk bus driver ran over his right leg that permanently disabled his knee. His school physical education teacher encouraged him to try high jump and he excelled at it. Comes from a humble background, he was was raised by a single mother working as a daily wage labourer and vegetable seller to support the family. Despite this setback, he completed his schooling and earned a bachelor's degree in business administration. At the 2016 Rio Paralympics, he won the gold medal for India. In 2020 Tokyo Paralympics he could have won the gold again but the rains made the conditions difficand settled for a silver. He is a Padma Shri and Arjuna Award winner. And won the Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna award in 2020 which is India's highest sporting honor. He used all his prize money to buy a paddy field for his mother and built a better house for his family. Mariyappan believes that his right deformed big toe helps him to get the leap. “This is what gives me leverage when I jump,” he says. “It is my God.” India is a country of amazing sporting talent. But we also need to be a country to celebrate all sports athletes. Everyone doesn't get brand deals and sponsors. The only fuel for these athletes is their grit and determination. Our only job is to cheer them and share their stories.

This grandad found a 500 year-old, 17ft deep well under his living room in Plymouth, Devon, England. As well as, he also found a 16th Century BC, Bronze Age Sword and Coin from 1725 AD, inside the well :- The 70 year-old Colin Steer has spent last decade digging out well after he found it while redecorating living room of his home. He noticed a dip in floor while carrying out DIY, which led him to uncover well. While digging it out, Steer found what he thinks is the leather casing of a sword, which he believes could date the structure to 1500s. The 70-year-old said: "I found what seemed to be a leather casing of a sword when I was about 5ft into dig which leads me to believe that well could be medieval. "However it could date back to even earlier than that because we have no real way of accurately dating it at moment." He said that house was constructed in 1895 and he moved there in 1988 but it was 10 years ago while decorating that he saw the dip. "I immediately thought someone must have buried someone under there or that we had a sinkhole. "Since that moment, I decided I was going to dig it out and see what I would find. The hole is currently 17ft deep and there is about another 4-5ft that I want to dig out when I eventually get round to it. Since I began digging out well, I have also found a coin from 1725. In late 18th Century AD, during reign of George III, government issued large copper coins known as "Cartwheel" penny and twopence. An ancient sword was also discovered inside the well. Historically, sword developed in Bronze Age, evolving from dagger; earliest specimens date to about 1600 BC. The later Iron Age sword remained fairly short and without a crossguard. At the bottom of well the is about 4ft of water, so everything that I did out now will be wet and mucky stuff." Colin wants to go another few feet further down though before he finishes and although he is bringing up mud into his living room, he says that his wife Vanessa is understanding and is equally interested in the well. His plan is to then extend well wall up into his living room and use it as a coffee table which he thinks will make an attractive feature. He is also keen to find out why the well is actually there and consulting old maps have not given any answers. He said: "I would extend the walls of the well up through the floor and then add a round tabletop on top to make it into a coffee table. I think it would be a great feature for our front room. We still aren't really sure about why the well is there". The 17ft hole in the couple's living room is currently covered over by a sheet of Perspex and a trap door so that it is safe. Colin and Vanessa have grandchildren who love to look down the hole through the sheet of Perspex and they are very intrigued by unique feature in their grandparent's home. He added: "It is a good thing to show off to people as it is not something that you see every day. I have actually even tried some of water that is at the bottom of the well. It was really clear and tasted fine to me. I am going to get it tested for bacteria and if everything came back good then I could even bottle it up and sell it." According to the researchers, this well belonged to a wealthy or noble families, because only high status families could afford their own private well - most likely in the basement of your house, during medieval and late medieval times. Because, it was common for external wells to be poisoned in Medieval times, which is why castles would have them built internally. It could take decades to construct the well but it was worth wait to have your own clean water. To prevent well from collapsing, some were lined with stones, bricks or wood. Researchers also stated that, according to the preservation status of this well, it looks that the well was regularly maintained, to keep functional for long. It also involved periodic cleaning to remove debris, prevent contamination and maintain quality of water. #archaeohiatories

rewatching ep 4 for the nth time and I think this is going to be one of those scenes that stays with me for a very long time😭it isn’t just Pete crying, he completely breaks down like full sobbing, barely holding himself together, curling into a ball of grief hiding himself in the blanket like years of pain finally poured out at once. When you think about everything we know about Pete, he’s just 24, yet he’s been emotionally exhausted for years. His gang is younger than him, meaning he can’t really share anything with them. His sister neglects him, and the way he talks about his relatives makes it obvious that his family life is filled with distance rather than care😔 It’s the first time Pete has ever talked about his past, not running from it but actually saying it out loud while someone quietly listens to him. Niran doesn’t interrupt Pete or try to comfort him. He looks composed the whole time, but I can feel his emotions through the silence, the sigh, the way he listens. He is simply lying there but it’s a safe space for Pete to unravel, which is why Pete later says that people feel at ease around Niran. It’s not cuz Niran is affectionate, it’s cuz he says things as they are and that helps Pete feel like he can be himself around him, even at his most broken moment. The scene before where he was furious with Pete, he’s not judging Pete’s life, he’s just giving him the hard truth. He doesn’t sugarcoat things, but he also doesn’t invalidate Pete’s pain. Instead, he’s trying to make Pete realize that his life has value, but he’s letting anger, recklessness and negative emotions get the best of him. And for someone like Pete, who spent most of his life feeling unwanted and unseen, this kind of brutal honesty is what he needs to turn over a new leaf🥹

🇺🇸 🇮🇷 THE BIG QUESTION: SHOULD TRUMP FINALLY HIT IRAN'S INFRASTRUCTURE? History does not repeat, but it rhymes loud enough to hear. In 1945, Japan was finished. Its navy was gone. Its cities were burning. Its war machine could not replace what it lost. And still the leadership would not surrender. Iran today looks eerily familiar. Its radar sites keep getting flattened. Its small boats keep getting sunk. Its missile stockpiles keep getting hit. And still Tehran keeps shooting, mining, and lying its way through every ceasefire it signs. To be clear, nobody is talking about the weapon that finally ended Japan's war. Trump is not dropping a nuclear bomb on Iran, and nobody serious is suggesting he would. That is not the parallel. The parallel is the dilemma itself. What do you do with an enemy that is beaten by every rational measure, yet refuses to act like it? Trump has tried to solve that puzzle the hard way, the careful way. Hit the drone depots. Hit the coastal radar. Leave the power plants standing. Leave the water desalination facilities alone. Spare the bridges and highways ordinary families use every day. He said it himself. He does not want to punish a population for the sins of a regime they never chose, and he does not want American taxpayers footing the bill to rebuild a country we did not break in the first place. But restraint only works on an enemy capable of reading the signal. Iran keeps proving it cannot, or will not. So the real question is not whether Iran is beaten. It clearly is. The real question is what finally convinces a regime that will not admit defeat, without turning millions of ordinary Iranians into collateral damage for their leaders' stubbornness. That is the needle Trump has to thread. Escalate enough to end this, without becoming the very thing his restraint was designed to avoid. The world will be watching which targets he chooses next as closely as it watches whether Iran ever really surrenders at all.

MEET ASHIK SIDDIQUE. He is the national co-chair of the Democratic Socialists of America, and he wants to abolish the United States Senate. Siddique has never accomplished anything that would justify placing him above the constitutional system he wants to dismantle. Yet socialism has given him the confidence to believe the problem is not his lack of experience. The problem is the structure of the country itself. Abolishing the Senate would erase equal representation for every state. California could dominate Wyoming. New York could overpower Nebraska. Political control would shift toward a handful of densely populated metropolitan areas, while smaller and rural states would lose one of their principal protections in the federal government. It would also eliminate the chamber responsible for confirming federal judges and Cabinet officials, approving treaties, conducting impeachment trials, and slowing legislation before temporary political majorities can force it through. And that is the real objective. The Senate frustrates radical movements because it prevents a narrow ideological majority concentrated in major cities from immediately transforming the entire country. Socialists call that undemocratic because they do not merely want representation. They want fewer obstacles between themselves and power. Siddique says the Senate was built for wealthy landowners. His solution is to destroy one of the central checks in the Constitution and dramatically expand the House instead. DSA has repeatedly promoted abolishing or weakening institutions that restrain raw majority power, including the Senate, Electoral College, and Supreme Court. This is why socialism should never be treated as a harmless demand for cheaper healthcare or higher wages. Its leaders are openly telling you they want to redesign the government, remove constitutional guardrails, and concentrate power where their movement believes it can win. Like many of the leader in the DSA, Ashik Siddique has built remarkably little. But he is ready to demolish quite a lot.

DSA has repeatedly promoted abolishing or weakening institutions that restrain raw majority power, including the Senate, Electoral College, and Supreme Court. This is why socialism should never be treated as a harmless demand for cheaper healthcare or higher wages. Its leaders are openly telling you they want to redesign the government, remove constitutional guardrails, and concentrate power where their movement believes it can win. Like many of the leader in the DSA, Ashik Siddique has built remarkably little. But he is ready to demolish quite a lot.
