This is Israel's fault, somehow. I'm sure.

I hate that trying to explain this sounds so bonkers that it’s basically impossible to get normal people to understand that it’s actually happening

Get out and vote in the primary tomorrow, friends in Texas!

And don't forget to vote for @ginafortexas.bsky.social for governor!

Among the people who told y'all this was going to happen is @sarahposner.bsky.social. Wouldn't it have been grand if more people had listened.

Don't forget Rashida Tlaib!

If I understand correctly we did not vote for Kamala because Israel, and we're at war now, with Trump in charge, also because Israel.

that one can occasionally still be shocked is, I think, a good thing

Bible Gateway passage: Revelation 7 - New International Version 144,000 Sealed - After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any t...

"Lake of fire," or similar! But that 144,000 number is spot on accurate.

These are the people running this country now. I'd love to hear what they say about Stephen Miller when he's not in the room.

At which point 144,000 "from all the tribes of Israel" will be saved and the rest of us Jews will, iirc, be thrown into a lake of fire.

Good stuff!

Because apparently this man's God is so feeble as to need a drunkard's help.

PPS Also this, too

Feel like I am losing my mind with “Israel made him do it.” Is he the president of the US - and specifically the guy who said he is ruthless and beholden to no one - or is he a tiny lil bean 🫘

It did! :)

I can imagine!

Speaking of what @maddow.bsky.social has just been reporting about Kristi Noem's impact on our security readiness as we bomb Iran, a country known for reaching allllllllll the way around the world to kill people and knee-cap systems.

PS Also this - AT LEAST ONE Israeli intelligence officer could see that our president and his cabal were leaning way too far into Bibi's narrative.

But let's be clear:

When an evil, bloodthirsty man pushes your buttons and promises your glory YOU REMAIN A HUMAN PERSON WITH AGENCY & YOUR DECISIONS ARE YOUR OWN.

That the president & his cabal are such easy marks is not Bibi's fault. It's ours. Trump was elected. By people in this country.
3/3

Exactly as in Gaza (⬇️), Bibi's telegraphed his desire to do this to Iran for, as Bibi *himself* just said, "40 years."

It wasn't secret. It wasn't sneaky. It was bold as brass & as @chrislhayes.bsky.social noted tonight, knowable as long as Hayes has been alive.

Bibi saw his opening: Trump.

2/

IRAN WAR

Bibi didn't "make" Trump do anything.

He told Trump, Miller, Hegseth, etc, what they wanted to hear—that the thing they ALREADY WANTED TO DO was a great idea.

They grabbed that gleefully, & with both hands.

Which is part of Bibi knowing that America is a thing you can move very easily ⬇️

Getting the US into avoidable disaster in Iraq took months and months and months.

In Vietnam, it took years and years and years.

We are just three days into this totally unnecessary, one-man's-whim fiasco.

I always think this is relevant but today in particular, whew boy

The NYT style guide

but now I really really wish he had been right

lol - trust but verify!

Today was an important day for the opposition movement. The law firms that stood up against Donald Trump threats won.

Those that capitulated and collaborated with Trump will need to explain to their families, clients and future generations why when democracy was at stake they were such cowards.

Happening now: anti-war protestors are gathereing in Chicago's Congress Plaza for a demonstration against ongoing U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran.

Tonight's rally follows a similar protest in Chicago on Saturday; other anti-war actions are being planned across the city over the week.

I always think this is relevant but today in particular, whew boy

I share this only because this is what Bibi has always done, he just hasn't usually been thrown under the bus for it

anyone doing any important catching up is bound to run into some snag! but it sure sounds like he's going in the right direction :)

horrors in Iran , bombing, awfulness

that Iran is being bombed --

that an attempt is being made to destroy, massacre, and exterminate its armed force together with women and children, (and likely plunder their possessions)*

now, tonight, as Purim begins--

is more ugly irony than my heart can take
