Historian here destabilizing the Middle East and then walking off while people kill each other in brutal ways. There is a precedent here: Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan. Then complain about the people who are refugeed and come to your country.

DOJ Examined Men in Epstein’s Orbit Accused of Sex Crimes. None Were Charged. Several women told investigators after Jeffrey Epstein’s 2019 death that they were sexually abused by his associates. The Justice Department has said the files include unverified allegations.

Jeet Heer: “it’s the lowest of low bars but Trump is doing more to rein in Israel than Biden ever did. This should spark introspection among Democrats, but won’t”. May 12 2025

I repost the infamous Caitoz ‘promise me’ post a lot but this from Jeet Heer is equally Louvre worthy imo

Trump campaign peace promises loom large over wartime presidency The "anti-war" candidate has bombed seven countries and launched a new regime-change war in Iran.

💥“No president in the modern era has ordered more military strikes against as many different countries as Trump. He's attacked 7 nations, 3 of which — Iran, Nigeria & Venezuela — had never been targeted by US strikes. He authorized more individual air strikes in 2025 than Biden did in 4 years.”💥

For the love of god, please learn to express disagreement on this app without talking like an absolute piece of shit who can’t understand that the person on the other end is a thinking, feeling human too

who made this

Not if we can help it!

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

"That's the way it is," says the five-time draft dodger to our military families who fear their loved one in uniform could be next.

What a disgrace.

As a historian, I'd just like to remind the politicians who follow me that it is not, in fact, 2003 anymore and the current GOP war in the Middle East is not, in fact, even remotely popular.

So if you're a weathervane who just tries to do what's already popular, full-throated opposition is it!

Sen. Ossoff Statement on Iran Atlanta, Ga. - U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff today released the following statement. "Eight months ago, Donald Trump lied to the country when he claimed U.S. air strikes had 'obliterated' Iran's nuclear program. "Now Trump says he's taken America to war for regime change in Iran. "Trump has launched this regime change war and put American forces at risk without presenting evidence of an imminent threat, without clear objectives, without having exhausted diplomacy, without a plan for the aftermath, and without the consent of Congress. "I oppose yet another regime change war-of-choice in the Middle East. Congress must convene immediately and pass a War Powers Resolution to assert our Constitutional authority over war and peace. "The President has presented no evidence that Iran or its nuclear program — which he falsely claimed to have 'obliterated' — pose an imminent threat to the United States, or that diplomacy was exhausted. Iran's support for terrorism and uranium enrichment have long destabilized the region. But sending American forces into harm's way should only ever be a last resort. "I pray for the safety of U.S. forces who have been ordered into battle and commend their extraordinary professionalism."

Ossoff’s statement is 1000x stronger than Schumer-Jeffries. This is a moderate Jewish Senator from a Trump state. The split isn’t moderate vs progressive, but leading vs poll-reacting

The chairman of the Board of Peace bombed the Gandhi hospital. Process that.

Well since they want to dismantle the department of education he will
Definitely not get his due!

That’s why I wrote publicly. Privately he financed anti lynching campaigns. But the feud with Du Bois was real.

Yup

Love it!

I don’t even really think this is fair. Iraq was heavily debated publicly, and there was a plan. It was a stupid and delusional plan based on unrealistic assumptions, but it was known publicly and voted on by Congress.

There was no public debate or Congressional authorization in this instance.

I told the Times that if Trump installs the statue of Rodney at Freedom Plaza then they should rename it the Freedom For Some Plaza but they didn't run that quotation.
