I've had my This Is Fine mug so long that the dog has become a ghost and all that remain are flames

This is disgusting. Rationalizing the bombing of a school that reportedly killed 108 girls.

But since she asked,

"Currently, 161 public schools operate on military installations across the United States."

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

I'm confident retaliation will occur.

And since the Trump regime has proven to be an unreliable partner, our old allies will not share intelligence about potential risks.

None of this had to happen.

One of my senators (D) went on TV and framed the problem with Trump's decision to launch an unprovoked assault on another country as entirely about process. She agrees with the carnage, she just wishes she would have been consulted about it first. Sorry to be a bit bummed out by that, I guess.

That's the plan, and to the extent the Trump admin even wanted to help (they don't), they illegally dismantled the mechanisms for it, like USAID.

It would've served our strategic interests greatly for millions of Iranians to see boxes and crates of vital supplies with U.S. flags on them. Oh well.

So a government that represses minority religions, is restrictive to women, is violent to peaceful protesters and a military threat to the region and globe, should not be a nuclear power and the leader of that government should be assassinated.

This is not about Iran. The world is watching.

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

Decapitating a country is a short term strategy whose logical endpoint isn't directly knowable but will probably include something similar happening to the U.S. government.

The real story is that foreign govts try to "interfere" all the time. In 2020 and 2024 we had mechanisms to catch them, call them out, & mitigate damage. Now, those mechanims are gone & the Trump admin would prefer to exploit "foreign interference" to justify a federal take-over of elections.

@RepJeffries on X: Donald Trump promised to keep America out of costly and endless foreign wars.

He is now doing the exact opposite in the Middle East.

Congress must vote on a War Powers resolution immediately.

While Republicans fully support Trump's war with Iran, Democratic leaders do not oppose it. There is no effective opposition.

Hakeem Jeffries is merely demanding that the administration "must explain itself to the American people and Congress" and "provide an ironclad justification."

I know it is easy to doomscroll, especially today. Please plan for yourself at least one or many more offline activities. Buy a pastry, read a book, go to a museum, see a friend, cook a meal, play with a pet, or even a trip to Costco. Try to limit time on your phone and avoid stewing in anxiety.

If he isn't following the Constitution, you should be calling for impeachment.

No. Let's talk about the start of WWIII.

No comments about Iran this morning?

Opposition parties are supposed to oppose, not vote for Noem and Rubio.

You should be calling for impeachment this morning.

Instead you post about elections.

Worth noting that Japan using peace talks with Washington as cover for their sneak attack on Pearl Harbor is one of the reasons we were so fucking furious at them on December 8, 1941.

It's WHY FDR called it a Day of Infamy
