There are seven American dead from Iranian drones. We told Ukraine “no” when they offered us their drone defense in August that we’re now begging for.

Unacceptable

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) stops to talk with reporters in the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC. (Photo by Heather Diehl/Getty Images)

Murphy: “I think it’s likely the U.S. carried out this attack on this school — I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact that this was one of our 1st targeting decisions, that this mistake was made on the 1st day of war — I think speaks to the incompetence of our leadership”

I find it extremely difficult to believe that anyone experiencing what honestly looks like the apocalypse is going to regard it as a form of liberation or that anyone responsible for it actually cares about how Iranians regard it at all.

It's a sign of the times that AI companies are deciding whether or not to allow the military to engage in mass surveillance of US citizens and this is treated as a legitimate debate of two reasonable positions.

It could not be more obvious that the president does not care about US service members and in fact regards their deaths as mere political inconveniences. He has more sympathy for Putin than Americans who died because he decided to wage illegal war. Just listen to him.

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

My cat has one (1) mouse that she runs around with while she sings the song of her people and I don’t feel like I have standing/status to touch the mouse myself because I do not fully understand her relationship with it and THUS in conclusion my cat is the pope and I am apparently a mouse Catholic

I am enthused by the prospect of a Dem Senator from Texas but I need you all to know that the first campaign I ever donated to was Wendy Davis’s & thus I have a long storied history of being heartbroken over TX (even though I have never once been there), so I am emotionally sitting this one out.

The funny (sad) thing is that every single government agency is being run as poorly as Noem was running DHS. I loathe her with every fiber of my being. I also don’t think it’s a coincidence that it’s a woman taking the fall to attempt to even somewhat assuage the court of public opinion.

I need more friends with appropriate levels of vitriol and rage toward corporate entities bc when I ask ppl where they get things they’re like “Amazon!” And I have to be like “Oh!” Instead of “Oh, I actually don’t shop there bc I think the premise of Earth is nice and am trying to save that.”

Trump’s War now providing a massive influx of cash for Iran’s ally Russia so they can continue to bomb civilians in Ukraine while we ask Ukraine for help against Iranian drones. Trump’s foreign policy in a nutshell.
