It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire.
1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.

I read the “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/
The Federal Parent Locator Service contains sensitive details about individual children, and it’s meant for finding people who owe child support.
Granting access to DHS would violate a federal law that explicitly limits its use, officials said.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:
Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.
And recognized as such by the US Government.
From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.
See they don’t understand how anything works and just blurt shit out without knowing if it’s doable bsky.app/profile/bcfi...
When Trump said he would bring on a "New Golden Age," he was talking about his wallet.
The speed and extent of the damage have so concerned Iran and Lebanon that they sent a request to the United Nations' cultural agency, UNESCO, this week to add more sites to its enhanced protection list. https://to.pbs.org/4cDH5qN
Schatz: We don’t know for sure, but the likely bombing of an elementary school with one of our Tomahawk missiles is not a one-off mistake. It is the result of a change in policy so that the United States has way looser rules of engagement — way more tolerance for civilian harm.
Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"
Leavitt argued that the act—if realized—would not prevent married women from voting. Seconds later, she admitted that the bill actually would require married women and anyone else who has changed their name to re-register before they vote. trib.al/oY78xpw
Trump did everything he could think of the last year to make EVs less affordable so more Americans would be driving gasoline cars. He then triggered a global fuel crisis by attacking Iran.
City officials in Corpus Christi, Texas, expect to reach a “water emergency” within months and run out of water next year. That would halt jet fuel deliveries to airports, hike gas prices “and trigger a local economic disaster without precedent.”

Next dem admin and congress would be a REALLY good time to pass the Rome statute and join the ICC, can’t presidential pardon your way out of that shit. All these murderous idiot need to be locked up
They are murdering civilians on the high seas.
They are murdering civilians in 🇮🇷.
They are murdering civilians in concentration camps.

These are not problems that can be fixed with new laws or more court orders.

Every form of expert I know—lawyers, doctors, psychologists, professors, plumbers, electricians, etc—is having this recurrent experience.
AI is killing the value of expertise & education, critical thinking, the planet, safe neighborhoods esp BIPOC ones, jobs.
Which ultimately kills people.
Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
If mass murdering children isn't enough for you to oppose this illegal war, if the myriad war crimes and religious zealotry aren't enough, if the contempt for human life and international law aren't enough...how about the fact that we are literally destroying the planet?
I'm unsure how people really think people were downplaying a virus that can kill you, make you go blind, wipe out your immune system for years, and oh yeah come back and kill you a decade after you thought you'd shaken it.
This is a lucid and comprehensive summary of the ties between Russia’s spy agencies and Jeffrey Epstein - and how they extended to Trump, Peter Thiel, and other rich and influential men now referred to as the “Epstein Class” - and to the 2016 Presidential Election.
