the plan, such as it is, appears to be “bomb a country of 90 million people that is already facing a water crisis into a failed state, walk away and declare victory”

this is a monstrous nightmare regardless of whether or not it “works”

“But what if we gave the One Ring better training?”

I don't live in ME, but I do live on a planet with white people who are still calling this man "ignorant" and "unprepared to protect everyone," minimizing what he obviously is, while simultaneously seeing themselves as "progressive allies" in the fight.

Predictable but still very disturbing.

I know that I sound like a broken record but I think once this society was ok with accepting mass covid deaths just to be able to eat at Applebees then all bets were off.

I just threw together a website visualizing this ICE contract data! You can browse through the companies and their contracts, and filter them by state micahflee.github.io/ice-contracts/

tent big enough for fascists, but too small for Palestinians and trans people

Trump running around kidnapping and assassinating foreign heads of state and the Democratic response being "gee it would be nice if you told us first 🥺" is really all anyone needs to know about the party

the war is unpopular but it's also illegal but it also doesn't serve any purpose but it also undermines diplomacy but it also is set to produce the opposite outcome as intended but it also already has hundreds dead and threatens more but it also will not make anything better for anyone but it also

the incentives here are so obscenely terrible that the entire thing should be illegal by default

“I am sabotaging negotiations because I stand to make piles of money on Polymarket” is absolutely in play, what a horrifying clusterfuck

i’m at the anti-ICE protest
i’m at the anti-war with iran protest
i’m at the combination anti-ICE anti-war with iran protest

“average monkey asks 3 questions a day" factoid actualy just statistical error. average monkey asks 0 questions per year. Curious georg, who lives in cave & asks over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

“direct your anger at trump not the democrats” buddy you are severely underestimating the amount of anger i have available to me

A girl was giving away free pony bead bracelets the other week in protest of ICE so people trying to avoid being detained could break the bracelet, throw the beads, and maybe they'd trip on them. She said she didn't know what else to do so she did this.

It's going to take rebellions big and

been thinking about the entire school of elementary school girls we exploded today

This was fun during covid

We have a habit of shrugging off our own school children getting murdered, makes sense they wouldn't get worked up over other people's children.

sure the pedophile felon president just illegally bombed a country that may have nukes while federal forces under his command murder and harass people in america and immigrants are tortured and he moves forward with plans to build concentration camps and sorry idk where i was going fuck all of this

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

Guys he's not starting a war to distract from the Epstein files. He's starting a war because he wants to start a war. Killing people in other countries makes him horny. If it also distracts from the Epstein files, great, but he doesn't really give a shit either way.

If I were a head of state, I would think setting a precedent that assassination is a legitimate tool of state competition would be unwise

The idea of bombing children as a form of “self-defense” is nonsensical and grotesque, but nonetheless it’s the argument the U.S. and Israel have been relying on for years and years. It shouldn’t be hard to take a stance against slaughtering children

Israel, immediately after vaporizing a bunch of little girls:

The phrase “preemptive strike” is as insulting as when we were sold “humanitarian pauses” in the middle of a live-streamed genocide. The powerful looking you straight in the face and telling you your common sense simply doesn’t matter.

what a crazy night for sam altman to be like "yeah we got that dept of war deal, and there's no moral concerns here"

Girl I’m fine let’s go

fell for it again award

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

does not sound like limited strikes to prevent/slow nuclearization

Every single outlet that uncritically recites Israel's self-designation of "preemptive strikes" should be permanently shut down for good. Straight up. Definitionally no such thing as a "preemptive" attack when the country being attacked had no plan nor indication of planning to attack first.

If you are younger than 83, you have never seen the US drop a single bomb as a formally declared act of war according to its constitution.
