A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

Today should be your 38th birthday.. When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: “Today more than ever, it is essential to remember that one can be against a hateful regime as is the case with the Iranian regime…and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law.”

So for all you “leave NATO” dummies out there, wanna explain how we defend ourselves without them?

Britain, France, Germany, the GCC (Bahrain, Kuwait, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman) are currently knocking down Iranian missiles and drones.

And this is just Iran. Not a peer.

Stand With Minnesota Stand With Minnesota is a hub for supporting, learning, and taking action to support Minnesotans impacted by ICE and federal enforcement.

Perhaps you donated through Stand with Minnesota a month or so ago. Many of the people impacted by the evil actions of the federal government are still scared to go to work, so they need help with rent. You can donate to a few rent funds through this site.

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.

Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

…….. okay I guess I’m a dumbass for not asking myself before now, “did we start a war with Iran in order to force Dems to approve a fully loaded Homeland Security budget so they can continue terrorizing immigrants from the comfort of their 62 luxury jets,” but it sure seems obvious in hindsight

imo the threat posed by CBS News and CNN getting absorbed by pro-regime billionaires isn't that they're going to produce right-wing slop that convinces people to be right-wing, it's the dismantling of newsrooms capable of doing investigative reporting on the administration. Fewer eyes on the street.

this isn't a distraction from epstein class pedophilia it's an expression of the epstein class worldview

meanwhile, war rages on at home.

Yes in this particular moment the blame is 99.9% on Republicans. A dozen R’s in Congress could together end this presidency now

Good thing to remember online right now is that everyone here is very emotionally dysregulated and dealing with that by posting

The most "progressive" cable TV news channel America has (MSNow) spent a large chunk of the morning platforming John Bolton

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

If Trump really wants to destroy Iran he should go be its president for a few months.

part of why putting congress back in charge of this is that it would require that the admin make the case for war in front of them, and i want you to think for a moment about what that case would look like coming from this admin

Not the same guy, you brick-brained clown. The one who came to power in 1979 died 10 years later in ‘89.

rough day for anyone who believes in the sanctity of human life

"I, a member of <checks notes> the Senate Committees on Finance, Budget, Judiciary, Foreign Relations, & Select Intelligence, have no better idea than you what the hell is happening as the President of the United States takes us into a an illegal war."

BREAKING: IRAN is closing the strait of Hormuz and is turning vessels around according to Reuters.

This is threatening 20% of the world’s oil & LNG flow.

So much for Affordability.

Read it again. We killed 85 schoolgirls this morning.

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.

Even though I and everyone else knew it was probably going to happen, waking up to find out that this country’s leaders have started another needless war is making me so angry and sad

It is 1991. I am 15 years old. The US has gone to war in the Middle East.

It is 2003. I am 27 years old. The US has gone to war in the Middle East.

It is 2026. I'm too old for this shit. The US has gone to war in the Middle East.

The royal we sure done biffed on this primary, folks.

Forgiveness comes with atonement.

WOW. 19 people, all who were imprisoned and mistreated in a foreign prison at the direct command of the United States, are brave enough to say “We are innocent, and we will endure more time imprisoned to prove that.”

I can only admire the enormous courage such a move takes.

they bombed an elementary school and killed a bunch of little girls, man

fuck this shit

I remember when trying to forgive student loans was massive overreach of Presidential power.
