Trump and Netanyahu’s attack on Iran is an illegal act of aggression.
Their actions are no different from Putin’s invasion of Ukraine or Rwandan president Paul Kagame’s invasion of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

I know that everyone here hates the β€œDonald Trump started a war and jacked up your gas prices” messaging but β€œDonald Trump started a war and jacked up your gas prices” is likely the single thing about this nightmare that will most affect the day to day lives of a lot of people in the US

Trump's going to use every lever possible to STEAL the mid-terms.

Expect illegal behavior against American citizens, including vacuuming up all our privacy data w/ #AI - "Powered by OpenAI".

Nobody'll ever trust the US Government w/their privacy data again because of Trump's authoritarian actions.

OpenAI posted the terms of the deal. Reveals that it absolutely does allow for domestic surveillance. EO 12333 is how the NSA hides its domestic surveillance by capturing communications by tapping into lines *outside the US* even if it contains info from/on US persons.

Kaine on Fox: "The president can act to defend US against imminent attack without congressional approval. But if you're going to initiate war, you need Congress. The president not only did not come to Congress, he acted without even notification to the vast majority of us. This is an illegal war."

I am following with deep concern what is happening in the Middle East and in Iran during this tumultuous time. Stability and peace are not achieved through mutual threats, nor through the use of weapons, which sow destruction, suffering, and death, but only through reasonable, sincere, and responsible dialogue.

May diplomacy regain its proper role, and may the well-being of peoples, who yearn for peaceful existence founded on justice, be upheld. And let us continue to pray for peace.

You have clearly not read the War Powers Act, Mike. Everything you've written is totally wrong.

The War Powers Act SPECIFICALLY PROHIBITS military action unless: a/ there is a prior congressional authorization; or b/ it's a response to an attack against the U.S.

More celebrations in Iran following Khamenei's death.

Crowds are openly dancing in the street, women with their hair uncovered.

It's the first taste of the freedom they fought so hard for.

So we’re just going to spend billions in bombs, kill the Ayatollah, temporarily degrade their military, then walk away and hope they learned their lesson? That’s the plan?

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

Yet, I've been able to build it for myself in almost no time at all. This ability to instantly customize things to *your* specific needs, rather than the needs of the company providing the service is such a big change. It's kind of crazy what possibilities it starts to open up.
