AYMAN: Can you tell me where Iran killed thousands of Americans in America?

ANNA PAULINA LUNA: I said they are responsible for thousands of Americans being killed

AYMAN: Where?

LUNA: Are you serious right now?

AYMAN: It seems like you don't want to have a good faith conversation

Let’s all call Massie today and get him to switch parties. Then force Gonzalez to resign. Then get the gavel, issue some subpoenas, and impeach some motherfuckers

Text from NPR’s story about Trump’s response to the Prime Minister of Denmark. 

β€œConsidering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America."

I know it’s been 6 weeks, which feels like f-n forever ago with the relentless πŸ’© this administration blasts out by the minute, but if this quote from Donald wasn’t concerning enough when he wrote it, lawmakers should really keep this in mind when voting on any kind of war authorization.

Follow the money...

Trump's war in Iran ISN'T FOR US πŸš«πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

It's PAYBACK to
β€’ Qatar πŸ‡ΆπŸ‡¦,
β€’ Saudi Arabia πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¦, &
β€’ UAE πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ͺ

For the $5 billion+ they have funneled to the Trump-Kushner family.

They call that 𝘾π™ͺπ™ž π˜½π™€π™£π™€ or π™Œπ™ͺπ™žπ™™ 𝙋𝙧𝙀 π™Œπ™ͺ𝙀

Afterall, everything Trump does is transactional

Israel Targeted this school. Just like they targeted people in Gaza. Israel is a war criminal, committed genocide. Not surprised they’d target a school and kill children.

In the past, sometimes presidents have said it’s just a military operation or limited airstrikes to skirt Congress. Trump has unilaterally launched major combat operations, declaring war with the goal of regime change. A major violation of the U.S. Constitution, also illegal under international law

The U.S. plan for Gaza is the final stage of Israel’s genocide. Bombs and bulldozers obliterated Gaza’s landscape, and now skyscrapers and data centers aim to dismantle its social fabric and capacity to resist.
