I'm a Chicagoan & a lifelong Democrat. I am a fighter. I took care of my mom, who had Alzheimer's, for 9 years; I loved her. I kept notes, thinking they may be of help to someone else on the same road. https://OnForgetting.com

The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime America has blood on its hands.

New in PN: The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime

"American disinterest in the lives of people abroad is a resource politicians use to justify cynical wars. It's hard to see on what moral grounds we claim a right to decide the fate of those about whom we clearly care so little."

Oil is not up because of just the war. It’s because Trump has been bat shit crazy in how he has been talking and has made no effort to lay the case out logically.

He’s also sending Witkoff and Kushner to Israel on Tuesday.

Probably nothing to do with global markets cratering and oil going parabolic

Christian Nationalism is NOT Christianity, but it is a national security threat.

I demand UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER of the Epstein Filesβ€”and then your title of "President of the United States," and your liberty to walk freely in public.

That would be GREAT & ACCEPTABLE.

AFP: "It breaks my heart": UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher says "we're seeing staggering amounts of money, reportedly a billion dollars a day” being spent on the Middle East war, rather than addressing the world’s β€œhuge humanitarian caseload.”

Opinion | Ominous Texas Signals for Republicans As Democratic voter turnout surges, the GOP Senate majority is in serious jeopardy.

"If Republicans didn’t realize their midterm election trouble before, they should after Tuesday’s primary results in Texas. Democrats are climbing over one another to vote, and control of the Senate is now in play.”

Stunning how the conventional wisdom from Nov '24 has been flushed down the toilet.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

NEWS: In 2019, the Trump DOJ took over New Mexico’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch β€” telling the state to stand down and turn over its findings. According to officials and newly unsealed records, the probe soon fizzled after the federal takeover. Link to NYT reporting in reply.

Zero Republicans call for Benghazi-style hearings. No rightwing media outrage. Republicans dined off of 4 dead Americans in Benghazi for a decade, and yet 3 dead Americans at the hands of a GOP president who promised no new wars gets no pushback. Fuck these fake outrage ghouls.

The costs of this Iran war debacle will likely be more than the cost of extending the ACA health insurance subsidies.

If you asked Americans, which do you want: another war in the Middle East or lower health care costs at home, is the margin 90 to 10? 95 to 5?
