Trump is using war not only as a pretext to declare a national emergency that could help him seize control of the midterms, but also to change the conversation away from Epstein and that the Justice Dept. withheld documents related to the testimony of a minor who accused him of sexual assault.

"If you’re wealthy and powerful, Donald Trump believes that you should be able to act with impunity – so long as you’re willing to pay him the right price."
@melissaryan.bsky.social nails it as always.

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).

How to understand war with Iran? We must get away from propaganda. Facts suggest two interpretive frameworks: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the United States.

Trump ripped up the Iran nuclear deal and created this mess. Now, he's putting servicemembers in harm's way with no clear plan and no Congressional approval. The American people deserve answers — and Congress needs to do its job.

Donald Trump has learned nothing from decades of endless war.
I went to war three times for this country. Working class folks will pay the price of his military adventurism.
Americans are sick of it. I’m sick of it.
WASHINGTON, Feb 28 (Reuters) - Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine are monitoring the U.S. operation in Iran from President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, where Trump is currently located, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters.
Jesus Christ they're running the war from Mar-a-Lago

The strikes on Iran are blatantly illegal. I explained in June why the strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities were unlawful under US and international law. Everything I wrote then is true today, but this is a far larger assault with far graver consequences.

“War does not create a clean slate where suddenly we have to believe the absurd just because a leader says it. On the contrary, war provides the opportunity to see the core of the absurdity and the destruction that is being offered to us.”
Truth!

So let’s think about this.
A private company refused - on principle - to yield to the government’s demands.
The government then cancelled its contracts with the company and has set about destroying it
