Opinion | How to Think About Trump’s War With Iran

www.nytimes.com/2026/03/02/o...

As always, Tom Friedman’s a great source on the Middle East. While this is full of insights based on his experiences in the region…& thus valuable for watching events from a distance…it’s definitely not comforting for what’s ahead, esp’ly with this US administration

Going to actual war (or any actual public service for that matter) is for other people…& other people’s kids

While we are all caught up with news in Iran, in understandable anguish for American & other lives being sacrificed, we must stay focused on both voting rights & Epstein…& w/the latter I encourage everyone to watch an excellent just-released Australian documentary…

As much as TACO disgusts me, my anger’s now moving towards the GOP enablers, esp’ly given it’s now clear they are protecting pedophiles

There can never be an acceptable reason to in any way support the abuse of children…& yet here we are…& all for the sake of personal power

Words fail me…inhuman🤬

It’d certainly be challenged in court…some States rely almost entirely on postal voting

it’d very likely be stopped at District Court level, but would SCOTUS then lift the stop through its shadow docket, pending full review, but leaving the law in place for the midterms?

A real test for SCOTUS…

Well, the SOTU was tedious & full of lies & omissions; the R’s & MAGA loved it; but for me the one honest & revealing moment was little Johnson’s comment afterwards:

“If we lose the midterms — Heaven forbid, lost the House majority — it would be the end of the T presidency”

We know what to do 🤜🤛
