Not a war though

Anyway I can’t wait to find out why Trump’s senseless invasion of Iran is Democrats’ fault

Andre Is An Idiot review: Irreverent biodoc urges you to get your colon checked It might just save some lives.

I first saw ANDRÉ IS AN IDIOT at Sundance 2025 and liked it. Two months later, my own father was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer. Upon rewatch this doc revealed itself to be something much richer than its humorous approach would suggest.

My four star review for @ebertvoices.bsky.social:

Bernie Sander’s 2028 litmus test would strangle America’s golden goose

Surprise! The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is against my 5% billionaire wealth tax. I wonder why?

If enacted, Bezos would owe $12 billion in taxes, and an average family of 4 would receive a $12,000 direct payment.

Poor Jeff would be left with just $224 billion to survive.

Happy Holi! To all who celebrate, wishing you a Holi filled with joy and lots of color!

It's not that I had fond feelings about Neera Tanden before but I think her retweeting Nick Fuentes is pretty good evidence that twitter is a gamma radiation field for your brain

Country's been falling apart slowly, think the next step is "all at once"

This Is an Unnecessary, Unauthorized, and Unconstitutional War Congress has a duty to take up War Powers resolutions and assert its primacy over matters of war and peace.

This is an

Unnecessary

Unauthorized

Undeclared

Unconstitutional

War.

Congress needs to check and balance Donald Trump.

Sounds bad!

Netanyahu got what he wanted but what about the American people?

What about the servicemembers who died? What about the nearly 200 schoolchildren killed?

There's a reason why past presidents didn’t go to war with Iran: they refused to risk American lives to open Pandora’s Box.

seeing them run the Iraq playbook in fast forward feels like I'm living through some nightmarish echo of my childhood, but this time just fully without even pretend causes

The number of fixed-wing aircraft lost in friendly fire incidents today equals the number lost during the entire 20-year span of conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan since 9/11.

"No stupid rules of engagement" is how you shoot down three of your own F-15s in one day. Just a shocking display of martial ineptitude.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

The Department of Education has hung a massive banner honoring a racist college dropout who built a lucrative career out of targeting professors for harassment

The war is the physical manifestation of years of American and Israeli right wing anger toward Iran, and the litany of leaders and figures over the past 3 decades.

It is seemingly a war built on personal grievances from DC think tank debate stages, with no other goal other than petty revenge

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

Post See new posts Conversation Laura Rozen @lrozen · 2h From US admin official background briefing recording listening to, seriously question if US negotiators understood what Iranians were proposing. One official keeps saying acronym for “IAEA” wrong. They seem astonished Iran would not agree to the US supplying them nuclear fuel Laura Rozen @lrozen · 2h They took as suspicious proposals that Iran saw as concessionary. Laura Rozen @lrozen · 2h Explains why Oman FM tried to come to DC to explain what US negotiators may not have fully understood Laura Rozen @lrozen Am not saying what Iran proposed would have been enough, I dont know, but it seems US negotiators did not have the expert guidance to understand it correctly

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.

OCASIO-CORTEZ STATEMENT ON TRUMP'S COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAN "The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic. "Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead.President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating "that often happens in war.' "Mr. President: this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American people. "Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs have yet to create enduring democracies in the region and this will be no different. "In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous: Congress authorizes war. The President does not. I will do my part to uphold our Constitution by voting YES on Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless war.

My statement on President Trump’s combat operations in Iran⬇️

Donald Trump is dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want. Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm’s way for the sake of Trump’s war of choice.

@TulsiGabbard on X: A vote for Kamala Harris is a vote for Dick Cheney and a vote for war, war and more war. A vote for Donald Trump is a vote to end wars, not start them. We are at a historic crossroads. Our God-given rights are under attack. Now is the time for us to stand together, for love of country, and for Donald Trump to get us back on the path to peace, freedom, and prosperity. 28 Oct 24

Tulsi Gabbard, also just before the 2024 election

@StephenM on X: To anyone still gullible enough to fall for scummy media hoaxes: Trump said warmongering neocons love sending your kids to die for wars they would never fight themselves. Liz Cheney is Kamala’s top advisor. Liz wants to invade the whole Middle East. Kamala = WWIII. Trump = Peace. 01 Nov 24

The lies about Trump's approach to war and foreign policy were ubiquitous. Just a few.

"No new wars" really just meant "f*ck Ukraine" and everyone knew it.
