"The attack came despite US intelligence assessments that Iran was unlikely to pose an immediate threat to the US mainland within the next decade."
So why do it?
"A weeks-long lobbying effort by Israel and Saudi Arabia..."
Ah. Not just weak, but cheap, too.

Gas could reach a national average above $3 per gallon for the first time this year, as analysts anticipate crude oil prices will jump next week.

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

And I don’t want to hear shit about a censure vote against this man.
Rep. Al Greene was ejected from the State of the Union for the sign — “Black People Aren’t Apes.”
Of all Presidementia's prior State-of-the-Unions I've not watched in the past, tonight's State-of-the-Union is the State-of-the-Union I'm not watching the most. 🍊🚫

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

If you haven't watched this yet, former President Obama discusses community hope and learning. He encourages more discussions regarding policies, talks strategies that win against divisive politics, and about the Obama Presidential Center. #democracy #obama

We have our differences, that’s what democracy is about—we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.

The corruption of this administration is beyond understanding.
Would not want to be on the side supporting them.

@rokhanna.bsky.social: There is information in the Epstein files about senior business officials not yet public. Survivors I’ve talked to have implicated current government officials.
No one thought we’d get the files released, but we did. And we’ll continue fighting for the other 50%.
@rokhanna.bsky.social: I was in Ghislaine Maxwell’s deposition today. It was shameful. She basically said other powerful people committed these crimes but she won’t name them unless she’s granted clemency.
She needs to be sent back to a maximum security prison immediately.
Per DHS own stats, 86% of people ICE has arrested are far from “the worst of the worst.”
They’re arresting anyone they want. And DHS wants BILLION$ more to torture people everywhere, to keep us from voting Republicans out!
“Worst of the Worst” are Trump & his Administration
