Peace in Theory, War in Practice | The Politics of Hypocrisy As war escalates between the U.S., Israel and Iran, this opinion piece examines the Board of Peace and the limits of peace rhetoric.

War tests the meaning of peace.

As the U.S. and Israel escalate strikes on Iran, the Board of Peace exposes a deeper contradiction in modern diplomacy.

When institutions lack enforcement, peace becomes branding.

Rubio Today: It’s false to say I said the U.S. had to attack because Israel was going to attack. That’s not what I said.

Rubio Yesterday: We knew Israel was going to strike Iran, and that would trigger attacks on U.S. forces. If we didn’t act first, Americans would suffer higher casualties.

Trump administration drops effort against law firms after judges find president's orders unconstitutional Numerous judges have ruled against Trump's executive orders targeting certain law firms.

This flew under the radar, but Trump's DOJ has abandoned its legal assault on the law firms that courageously refused to bend the knee to him.

This should serve as a reminder for the firms that sucked up to Trump: appeasing a tyrant will get you nowhere.

β€œWe could use their base if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody's going to tell us not to use it."

Replace Spain with sex-trafficked girls and you see why Trump is so eager to distance himself from the Epstein files and why he’s in them. He is a predator. Full stop.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

I lament what we have done to this country by electing people who are in the pocket of billionaires. While wealthy Republican pedophiles and pedophile protectors are reaping record profits, every day working class Americans are having to make life and death choices. πŸ₯ΉπŸ‘‡

DOJ used to put these on the walls of post offices.
Smaller. And sometimes with a posted reward.

If they can arrest a prince, you can arrest a president.

Thou shalt arrest the Epstein criminals in the USA.

Git β€˜r’ done.

The Lord has spoken. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Greg Abbott said he'd "eliminate rape" to justify an abortion ban. He's failed horribly. Thanks to his ban, Texas leads the nation: 26,300 estimated pregnancies as a result of rape.

β€œRape is a crime and Texas will work tirelessly to make sure we eliminate all rapists from the streets of Texas by aggressively going out and arresting them and prosecuting them and getting them off the streets." --Gov. Greg Abbott www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Colbert accuses CBS of blocking on-air interview with Texas Democrat James Talarico In November, Trump said late-night hosts who mock him are engaged in β€œprobably illegal” misconduct. The ripple effects of the declaration are ongoing.

In November, Trump said late-night hosts who mock him are engaged in β€œprobably illegal” misconduct.

It seems to me we can draw a line from that declaration to CBS telling Colbert not to air an interview with Texas’ James Talarico.

It turns out that tanking the economy, terrorizing our communities, threatening our allies, and constantly going on vacation, are pretty terrible election strategies.
