I don't see the post to respond 😬

Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus (Happy St. Davids Day) to everyone in #Wales and Welsh people/descents around the world!

NONE of these people had to die or even be injured. This a purely a war of choice, no matter what the president blathers on about. Remember that.

May their memories be a blessing.

Sadly, I began carrying medical-grade tourniquets and a QuickClot Trauma Pack in my purse (also keep one in the car) after the shooting in Vegas. Spouse & kid each have the same.

There were def people in Washington who advised Trump not to do this, basically saying, "hes 90, hes had cancer twice, hes going to die soon anyway. Dont make him a martyr for the cause". He didnt listen.

crackdown on protesters and 47 years of religious theocracy that Iranians have endured and you've got all the ingredients for a perfect storm to threaten the IRI regime even before this weekend.

I don't think you are grasping quite *how* bad the inflation is in Iran... 1 USD is currently equal to ~1.5 MILLION rials. Their currency is essential worthless; the government's attempt to appease the public before all this was a monthly stipend of 7USD.

Add that to the brutal & deadly 1/

As of this morning, Ahmad Vahidi has been 'promoted' to leader of the IRGC.

That I can't comment on, but those I mentioned *are* being given the information...whether they are advocating up for it is above my pay grade.

My hopes aren't in the Cabinet, for sure. But there ARE still professionals in the Pentagon, Commands, and Joint Chiefs/Staff that I have to hope are more cognisant of reality.

🔽🔽🔽 I cannot stress enough how accurate this🧵 is!

It may have taken 25 years for the Shah to fall then, but to the Iranians' that may as well how been the blink of an eye. There's an inherent conflict in the length of national historical memory between the West and Iran. We'd be well-advised to be keenly aware of it. 3/end

Mojtaba Khamenei and one of the Larijani brothers, it would be extremely premature to conclude that a new Supreme Leader would be picked from or much constrained by the IRGC.

It's early days, but don't count anyone out at this point. And be aware of how well this went for the US in 1953... 2/

IMHO - as someone with a graduate degree in Middle Eastern Studies focused on Iran - the CIA assessment that hardliners are the most likely to take over is correct, though I'd be cautious as to them being IRGC for very long...it's unclear if Khamenei's son is still alive, but between 1/

Guys, let's get @lindseyboylan.bsky.social into office! We NEED women like her leading!

Attention @pulitzerprizes.bsky.social

To be honest, but does he ever?!

Are you seeing Dr. F by any chance? Because she's one of only 2 doctors I've ever paid out of pocket to see and she is, hands down, THE BEST!

Gov. Moore said the Maryland state flag is a ‘contradiction.’ Would he change it? The Maryland state flag — a symbol of pride, identity and fierce loyalty for many residents — has become the subject of renewed political scrutiny in Annapolis after Gov. Wes Moore described it as …

and sickened how easily, unquestioningly, even members of my own family have swallowed the RW propaganda on the murders of American citizens in Minneapolis.

There's no going back - I can never forget. Nor can millions of Americans... I just can't. 4/end

while *LEGALLY* carrying a firearm that was never brandish, let alone a 'threat' to LEOs. I will just never understand how 2A evangelists can be so eager to lick Trump's boot as it 'treads' on them. 'Comply or Die' is sooo damn beyond reality that I'm truly at my wit's end.

I'm stunned... 3/

because we've reached the point that I can no longer even pretend to tolerate his views. And it kills me more than I can ever say...I will simply never understand why he & so many others reject the clear fact that #AlexPretti did nothing but try to help an elderly woman #ICE... 2/

Tonight has been so inexplicably exhausting on SO many levels I hardly know how to say this.. I'm fairly (ok, very) certain that an argument w/ my closest brother over #AlexPretti & #ICE may have ended in an irreconcilable schism. It breaks my heart; I've spent hours sobbing in despair... 1/

Yup. But at least *some* of them get what's happening??

Trying to find any sliver of hope I can at this point...spouse & I are constantly terrified because his parents moved to Minneapolis this summer. Both the #ReneeGood & #AlexPretti killings happened w/in blocks of them 😳😬😔
