For Trump, the Iran Attack Is the Ultimate War of Choice

The must-read of the day. Although “war of choice” is actually a euphemism. It’s a war of whim, of ego, of madness. Gift link. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/u...

I went to a high school in a poor-ish town one over from a naval base/shipyard during the lead up to invading Iraq. The recruiter that was allowed to roam the halls promised children that all their problems would be solved if they signed away their bodies, and it went exactly how you’d expect.

We are training undergrads (18-22) to digitize vcr tapes, cassettes, and vinyl. We introduce phrases like "rewind" into their vocab and made diagrams of what a tape looks like from 6 angles. And we get questions like "how do I rewind a record" which is understandable but turns my bones to dust.

9 killed as Iranian missile destroys synagogue, smashes bomb shelter in Beit Shemesh Almost 30 more injured as impact strikes residential area in city west of Jerusalem; IDF investigating failure to intercept missile and integrity of shelter

it's worth remembering that Bibi has no more concern for his people than Trump has for his

Three U.S. service members should be alive this morning and three families shouldn't be receiving a personal visit by military officers informing them their loved one has been killed in a military operation that wasn't authorized by Congress.

I hate Women's History Month because women's history is all the months because we are not a niche or an issue we are half of humanity.

Misogyny is a supremacist ideology. As in all supremacist ideologies, there are some to whom power inheres & some who get one (1) month to be mollified.

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

Sahar Delijani said it best:

I think there are other reasons too, including such hits as

-Trump Hates That Black Man So Much
-Trump Wants to Be King
-They Have No Reason to Think They Won't Get Away With It
-Trump & His Enablers ❤️ Cruelty, Mendacity, & Domination
-Some of Them Want to Trigger the 2nd Coming

And yes. Also too.

I simply cannot sufficiently express how much this looks like Israeli military forces subjugating Palestinians on the West Bank.

"There is just a great deal of evidence that he takes pleasure in violence and pain for their own sake, and that he gathers around him people like himself who do the same."

Did you know that the bees that need saving are NOT honeybees?

Honeybees are the dairy cows of bees. People brought them over from Europe to make us honey.

The problem with honeybees, esp in resource-limited ecosystems (like hey! cities!) is that they compete with our native bees for food.

“I love being Black, I love y’all” ☺️

Woman who attended SOTU to highlight her arrest without cause arrested without cause at SOTU.
““I just stood up. I stood silently, with no signs. I was not blocking anyone’s view of the hall. And then I was arrested.”

This Iran situation is demonstrating one thing more clearly than anything else: most people have absolutely no capacity for holding difficult truths in tension with one another.

Before people delete their account, I would urge people to browse their ChatGPT settings and purge all their chats and the memory that ChatGPT has of the user. After that, delete the account.

Because that's what you do, period.

Might be why she was in Fulton County

I agree and/but I think (and I don't get a real say in this, being cis and straight) that in this one case, given that it's a headline in The Advocate, it's ok

I'm bawling.

Fantastic!

Did I want Khamenei to be taken out by Israeli or American bombs?

No, that gave him exactly what he wanted.

At the same time, I am not going to be in mourning for the man who authorized the execution and torture of my relatives.

Messy days ahead.

I loved this Len, thank you for sharing it!
