"Why does the dog wag its tail?
Because a dog is smarter than its tail.
If the tail were smarter, it would wag the dog." #EPSTEINWAR

Why does the dog wag its tail?
Because a dog is smarter than its tail.
If the tail were smarter, it would wag the dog.

BTW: I come from a family of military veterans, all of whom served honorably; several came home with the scars of combat from justifiable, necessary wars. I'm proud of this family tradition. But serving in Trump's unjustified, illegal, immoral wag-the-dog attack on Iran isn't the same. It's evil.

A favorite band of mine, The Police, has two songs that, superficially, morph into creepiness: "Don't Stand So Close to Me" and "Every Breath You Take".

I think it was two, but maybe three.

Add me to your list. I'm a solid #GenJones. ( Classes of h.s.81, u-g.85, g.88 ) First celebrity crush, Marcia Brady. Second, Martha Quinn.

The #USmilitary should have honored its oaths and refused to follow the illegal and immoral order to attack. I'm sorry for the families, but the truth is that these were unnecessary deaths for a #shameful purpose; namely, covering up for child molesting billionaires and government officials.

#epsteinwar #presidentepstein #epsteinclass

All of this death and destruction because of the #Trump régime's desperation to derail accountability for the depraved child molesters and sex traffickers of the #EpsteinClass.

Shame on the people of South Carolina for their serial infliction of Lindsey Graham on the rest of us. He is a self-serving little worm, and everyone's lives will improve when the low bar of electing someone better is finally cleared.

The Psychology of People Who Grew Up in the 1970s Inside the Minds of People Who Grew Up Before the Internet

Dems can file impeachment articles. Make the GOP vote on them, and vote, and vote... Make them have to own Trump, and lose the opportunity to do anything else with their majority.

That's the kind of thing opposition resistance should have been doing. Not carrying on like everything's normal.

The dumbass King of MAGA is lying again.

Exclusive: Trump floats "off ramps" after attacking Iran "I can go long and take over the whole thing, or end it in two or three days..."

Expert Q&A: Are U.S. Threats or Use of Force Against Iran Lawful? Experts examine the international law issued raised by the U.S. threats and potential strikes against Iran.

Just published this Q&A with @mikeschmitt.bsky.social & @rgoodlaw.bsky.social

Bottom line:

-US strikes on #Iran would be flatly illegal

-would trigger armed conflict between the US and Iran

-other countries (like the UK) are obligated not to assist

Just remember what this is all for…. Distracting from the Epstein files!

Trump is a war monger.

#SHAME! #Murder of school girls in the #EpsteinWar, again turning young girls into Trump's victims. Rich #Pedophiles must be protected at all costs to everyone not involved in sex trafficking rings. US Military members, I again call on you to honor your oath. Disobey unlawful orders.

Reuters reports that Israel’s terrorist attack against Iran was planned months in advance and the date was decided weeks ago. “Negotiations” were a lie. “Peace” was a lie. Israel and the TACO Tits' regime are terrorist liars.

Let's call it what it actually is, #EpsteinWar

#EpsteinWar

It is the #EpsteinWar
Started by two presidents who are trying to stay out of jail....

Normally, I support the military, but not when it acts illegally and immorally. The name change from Dept of Defense to "War" has accurately reflected the shift in the US military under #Trump. Honor was traded for shame. #EpsteinWar vets won't see a US flag and yellow ribbons at our house #Disgrace

✔️ FYI: Excellent coverage of Trump's shameful #EpsteinWar is being provided on Bsky by @littlethinktank.fr

I understand why people from other countries are no longer separating #MAGA from non-MAGA. We're guilty by collective recklessness. We have a duty to remove #Trump. It's like the #USA has a vicious, untrained, stupid dog that it lets run around the neighborhood, menacing, pooping, breeding, biting 🤬

As an educator, this is a headline I love to see. Education is extremely important for society (not just the educated student).

As a social psychologist, I can't help but wonder what % of variance is attributable to cognitive dissonance here.

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying
