I’ll just leave this here…

So I see a lot of people filtering this through their priors about Schumer and reading it as “Schumer calling for Congress to approve war with Iran,” and uh, I don’t think that’s what this says?

I criticize Schumer and Democratic leadership all the time. They suck. But a party that has Zohran Mamdani, Ihan Omar, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, among others, is not worthless by any means. I will not be self-righteously sitting out the midterms. I’ll be voting for Democrats like a motherfucker.

Bottom line. The 🍊💩 regime is going to keep trying to find ways to interfere with the coming elections. We must stay vigilant and fight each time they try like wack-a-mole. I truly believe we will get there BUT we must show up and show up big! Help register voters, get involved with your elections!

CBS News chief openly agreeing with a criticism of Mamdani’s statement on US strikes in Iran. I guess CBS News is openly anti-Mamdani and pro-war in Iran.

God, this one is so old it was probably in the print Onion.

Human Costs of War research examines the human toll of U.S. military operations and spending, for U.S. service members, veterans, military contractors, and allies; and for civilians killed and displaced.

Just a reminder why we protested US actions like this last time.

"An estimated over 940,000 people were killed by direct post-9/11 war violence in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, and Pakistan between 2001-2023. Of these, more than 432,000 were civilians."

Trump’s unprovoked attack on Iran has no mandate – or legal basis US president violates UN charter just days into his Board of Peace era, and chooses to take the biggest gamble of his administration

“In 2003, the road to war in Iraq was paved with lies about nonexistent weapons of mass destruction.

The path to a new conflict in Iran 23 years later has been lined largely with incoherence or silence.”

The primary reason why diplomacy has been failing in the region over the last decade is because either the US or Israel wanted it to fail.

This isn't like WWI where everyone was keen on diplomacy to fail so colonial spoils could be fought over. This lies squarely at the feet of the US and Israel.

NEW: Bahrain skyscrapers and Dubai hotels are now being hit by Iranian drones.

This is insane. Trump has unleashed chaos and carnage.

Washington’s refusal to regulate AI is a corruption story. Just ask Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.

It’s about oil and regime change.

And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.
