Much like itβs taken some journalists years to admit that Donald Trump is indeed a fascist, so will others wait until weβre weeks, months or years into a war with Iranβor whichever countries he decides to target nextβto say this needs to end. What would happen if, instead of waiting to see how this all plays out, we just say no, here and now. No waiting for the administration to get their story straight, no entertaining a million different justifications for why itβs actually worth all this death and destruction and money (Jesus Christ, the money!) What if those of us with a conscience and a modicum of influence just said no to war, regardless of oil prices, and before there are boots on the ground?
If you draw a moral line mere days into this war, you wonβt have to do years of soul-searching to figure out what was obvious from the start. You wonβt have to conduct a years-long mea culpa campaign explaining how, as a βpolicy wonk,β you were so sure war was the right choice at the time, but you were indeed wrong. As nice as it is to see someone like Bill Kristol pivot late in life to policies more progressive than most of Congress and vocally opposing war in Iran, he canβt takesies backsies cheerleading a war that destroyed untold lives. Hindsight is not required for 20/20 vision; we need only pay attention to history.

YouTube video by Country Joe McDonald - Topic
Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-to-Die Rag (Live at the Berkeley Community Theater, 4/25/1981)
Country Joe just died and I have to share this lesser known version of the Fixin to die Rag thatβs especially relevant, and the timeline of versions shows how long and consistently Americaβs pointless/imperial wars have lasted

Director, Bronx Community

Childcare Center
"We have a two-generation approach.
We're not just working with the children, we're working with their parents, because we know that if their parents are not doing well, then the children are not going to do well. And sometimes, we even do three generations, because we have kids dropped off by grandparents. It takes a village. This truly is a village."

Three young boys pose for a picture. One boy in a blue hoodie is making a peace sign, another in a green sweater is resting his face on his hand, and the third boy is sitting next to the boy in the blue hoodie. They are sitting on stacked cushions.
Four children and an adult with a face covered by a strawberry emoji pose for a photo. The children are wearing hooded sweatshirts, one in a blue jacket, one in a gray sweatsuit, and one in a black beanie and a gray and white shirt. They sit in front of a red fabric backdrop.
Posting again for our dear sister Eslam and her sweet boys. I have known Elsam quiet a while & it hurts my heart to think all that this family has been through, we must support them more now than ever, share please and donate if you can.
Don't forget or ignore them.

My daughters and I stand today amidst the rubble, having lost our home and everything we owned.
All we have left is hope in God and in compassionate hearts.
Any support, no matter how small, will help us endure. ππ

A vintage-style poster illustration
Top text: for a happier life... UNDERSTAND NOTHING!!
text body: first you must know a number of things. Then dispatch all logic and knowledge of said things. It's as easy as that.
There is a drawing of a silhouette of my OC Ashton's head, with a bix X in his mind. He has a speech bubble that says: I don't get it... and I'm happier for it!
A side exclamation bubble: stop knowing today!
The bottom text: we will help you lose all understanding.
Understand Nothing!
