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.

I served in the military for 20 years. Afterwards, I devoted another 25 years directly supporting the military, as contractor and civilian.
For those serving now, you are either participating in or supporting an illegal war. The orders to commit were illegal. You have an obligation to resist.

This is still worth saying for the record.
No one who is opposed to the US bombing of Iran is actually SUPPORTIVE of the repressive regime currently in Iran.
This is not a case of choosing one evil over another. Rather, it's choosing a universal principle, that unprovoked murder is always wrong.
We can and should be critical of the regime in Iran. We should also:
A) Remember the US interference that ultimately led to that regime.
B) Reject yet other bullshit US war.
C) Uphold international law and condemn illegal aggression.
D) Be very concerned for the civilians in harms way.
Air scrubbers are a great idea.

What's the real reason for this war in Iran? Trump and Netanyahu are using the same authoritarian playbook. A big part of that playbook is using war to blot out your failures and any criticism you are facing at home.
Some thoughts...
Starmer also not calling out the fact that Trump broke international law. We know there are human rights issues in Iran but politicians can’t just be allowed to start wars unsanctioned by their own governments. That’s not democracy in action, that’s a dictatorship. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Trump's CBP abandons a nearly blind Burmese refugee in the Buffalo cold. He is found dead 5 days later.
I break down the disturbing details & offer background to his case.
I am calling for accountability for Nurul Amin Shah Alam’s death & answers for his grieving family.

The pedophile in charge of the federal government is trying to use AI to build autonomous weapons systems and mass surveillance.
Have a nice night!
In case anyone had any doubts about a pedophile being a pacifist.
I guess that the American economy and the Trump-Epstein files have got to be #epic bad.

Are we really about to go to war with Iran?
Did Trump just consolidate his control over broadcast media?
And what is Pete Hegseth trying to do with AI?
There's much to discuss on this week's Coffee Klatch.

Trump’s been denying the affordability crisis. Meanwhile, January PPI just came in hotter than expected at 2.9% YoY / core 3.6%. Data don’t lie.

Still time to write to your Senators (and get your friends to do the same). Casey Means is a charlatan with dangerous views on contraception, raw milk, vaccines and has a whole lot of conflict of interest--she's making money off it all. Just say no to the quack. actionnetwork.org/letters/oppo...

Dear Women’s USA Olympic Hockey Team — First, congratulations! Second: I drove race cars for 19 yrs & the amount of misogynistic crap I put up with in the garage was insane. The U.S. Men’s Hockey Team has now shown you their true colors. Believe them. They’re not friends of your team or women in general. I’m so tired of this misogyny in sports & everywhere else in American life, to be honest. The patriarchy sucks. Grow the fuck up or hand the keys over to the ladies. Maybe it’s time we drive.
Leilani Munter, y'all.
