History is a Teacher (No Pupils though)

to act like a newspaper opinion section is a force of nature that simply reflects the arguments of the day in the wake of WaPo gutting its team of everyone to the left of George Will is so blinkered as to be almost certainly disingenuous

If I wanted to defend the New York Times from accusations that they’re evil warmongers, I would not include a screenshot showing that they gave John Bolton an opinion column. Jesus Christ

Anyone up thinking about how it’s socialism or barbarism

I have been saying this for YEARS.
COVID gave us an opportunity to come together and grow as a country.

We failed that task miserably.

It's never too late to start masking again & earn some of that empathy back.

The US is making a play for all time worst imperial flame outs right now.

Waiting for their counteroffer on how we can replace our authoritarian governments.

Seems fitting that this is what the "U.S." is fighting a war to defend.

There's a lot of other shit that happened prior that seems like it could be worse, but with most of it you could find a lot of resistance and opposition. But as a country everyone turned callous, selfish and cruel during COVID, and abandoned or forgot many key values barely holding back the tide.

Honestly in retrospect COVID was the final victory of the right wing alternative facts conspiracy-minded selfishness-enabling fear mongering hate-manufacturing reality distortion machine that had wormed in its way into most permutations of American life. Most people have been rancid ever since.

Not ICE. Not Border Patrol. Just the same rotten local cops we've always had

there's no way out of this without completely destroying america btw you're not calling your reps or voting your way away from literally any of this

Looks like at least a half-dozen interceptors fired at a pair of incoming Iranian warheads. All of them missed.

Something tells me Operation Epic Fury is not going as planned.

Something feels horribly off about the way the shooting in Austin is being treated.

I know that I sound like a broken record but I think once this society was ok with accepting mass covid deaths just to be able to eat at Applebees then all bets were off.

"We’ve seen over 140 school kids killed in one of the very first attacks of the war. That is not a way to bring solidarity and support from the people of Iran.”

anyone got a corroboration on this? trying to find the source, if it exists

I’m actually not sure we can come back from “prediction markets for war crimes”, as a society. I think this might be it for us.

He's dying.
Not fast enough.
But he IS dying.

on some level I knew we'd end up in a war stupider than the iraq war but damn, this one's so much more stupid it's incredible

this is the war that john mccain campaigned for that ended up costing him so big against obama lol - and they just did it

Can't park there. Iran helping Isntreal make new underground parking garages.

These fascists do not respect this obsequience.

They abuse it.

Have some damn self respect.

Germany, France and the UK are sending ships to the Middle East to save Donald Trump from the war he started.

It's pathetic, spineless and it makes us look SO weak.
