James Franco being executed by hanging. "First time?" he asks, as though he's been hanged before.

hey gen z welcome to republican governance

Fines and contempt are such "nuclear options" that lower court judges are risk of being overruled on appeal. So, they have to let offenders build an overwhelming case against themselves. Tl;dr: our justice system just isn't designed to be a platoon of anti-authoritarian shock troops.

The judges in WV have seen enough.

They say that if the ICE continues detaining people in ways they have unanimously deemed illegal they will start issuing civil fines and contempt findings — including against state officials who help them carry it out.

JFC : "Hopefully, the IRGC and Police will peacefully merge with the Iranian Patriots"

Oh humans have learned it. The lesson we keep failing: stop electing reckless narcissists.

American Dream, Kardashian edition.

She's succeeding at the grift, which makes it less ridiculous, more projectile-vomitously disgusting.

No war with Iran!*

*Unless successful grift in progress 👠🥃✈️🤑🤑🤑

Trump Has No Plan for the Iranian People The mere act of bombing Iran will not by itself create a stable regime.

The American bombardment of Iran has been launched without explanation, without Congress, without public support. Above all it has been launched without a coherent strategy for the Iranian people, and without a plan to let them build a legitimate Iranian state.

Perfect on a day when we learned OUR regime apparently helped bomb a girls' school

It's just a matter of time. "Blowback" a major US cash crop.

Such an obviously great idea that Congressional authorization could be taken for granted. Nobel incoming!

I wonder if US allies in the region got to vote on Trump's vanity war?

But also without boots on the ground you can't do a regime change.

So what this amounts to is a very expensive campaign that amounts to nothing but pointless death.

If actual science-based public health is happening behind the dank wellness-eugenicist kabuki theater, I for one will indulge in 3 whole minutes of relief.

Chuck Schumer, Republican, is concerned.

OCASIO-CORTEZ STATEMENT ON TRUMP'S COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAN "The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic. "Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead.President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating "that often happens in war.' "Mr. President: this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American people. "Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs have yet to create enduring democracies in the region and this will be no different. "In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous: Congress authorizes war. The President does not. I will do my part to uphold our Constitution by voting YES on Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless war.

My statement on President Trump’s combat operations in Iran⬇️

Good catch. I'm beyond livid and need to get offline, like, now.

Recently some Americans showed a great deal of concern for civilians being needlessly murdered on the other side of the world, and every powerful institution worked together to punish, expel, silence, and deport those Americans. I think Americans don’t relish murder, but our leaders do.

Understand the political logistics here: the Dems are denouncing this shit, but they can't hand RWNJ media a free "Dems love Iran and hate America" script.

So, they're all acknowledging that Iran is an enemy of the US, while condemning a lawless (US Const'n) attack.

Everyone on the intertubes is a lawyer

"Be famous for being famous"

The Kardashians destroyed US culture. With all the help imaginable from the US media.

It's not a question of "justification." It's imagining how the US would respond in the inverse situation, having a grasp on basic human nature, and anticipating just how bad "what comes next" can be.

Also: if these news reports are true, we SUCK.

Killing a bunch of elementary school girls to distract from having raped a bunch of middle- and high-school girls is pretty fucking grim.

Being "anti" anti-suicide is the dankest position imaginable.

Doug Collins attended a Baptist Seminary and holds a Masters of Divinity degree, and I feel like this should have been on my bingo card.

Excellent concise🧵

Or they're holding out for the mother of all immunity/non- prosecution/liability umbrellas.
