Hi !

Today in Summary of the Internet:

America just speedran global destabilization and NBA history in one weekend. If you're a brand, creator, or human with WiFi, today’s trends offer a buffet of chaos, joy, and just a little hope. You’ve got stealth bombers, protest signs, scorching heat domes, and viral wedding videos.

✅ Top 3 Must-Post Trends

1. Trump Bombs Iran’s Nuclear Sites in Operation Midnight Hammer

Ware spends very little on powerpoint.

What happened:
Trump greenlit a massive overnight strike—seven B-2 bombers, 125 aircraft, 14 bunker-busters—targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. It’s the biggest B-2 strike in U.S. history and the first direct American attack in the Iran-Israel conflict. Protests erupted in New York, LA, DC, and globally as Trump took a victory lap on Truth Social, claiming Iran’s nukes were "obliterated."

Why this is a post opportunity:
Global conflict = global conversation. Whether you’re political or not, this taps into protest culture, moral debates, and viral news footage. Even apolitical creators can join the discourse.

Post Idea:
