It’s all war, all the time, and everywhere.

And I for one would very much like the above-mentioned SSMP to offer decisive clarity (for the moment) about Trump Regime’s plans for nuclear weapons testing.

In addition, it’s always concerning when the people responsible for the nukes can’t get a report together.

Pentagon Says It Is Not Planning New Nuclear Posture Review | Aviation Week Network The Pentagon does not plan to conduct a formal Nuclear Posture Review.

Paywalled & there will be no new Nuclear Posture Review, current plan.

not req by Congress so whatever.

OTOH, we continue to lack fiscal year 2026 nuclear weapons Stockpile & Stewardship Management Plan from Department of Energy/NNSA…

…which IS required by Congress.

With USA support & targeting info…

Yay! Congrats!

Macron opens door to deploying French nuclear forces to European allies The plan is a “major evolution” of France’s deterrence posture, the president said in a long-awaited speech at the Île Longue naval base in Brittany.

In any normal week this would be a huge story. France moves toward extending a nuclear umbrella over European allies-- a major sign of declining credibility of US extended deterrence.

Trump & nuclear crises in North Korea and Iran

what we see from the trump admin is a total failure to justify on these grounds. their inarticulate sputtering about the question isn't just a failure of rhetoric; it's a demonstration that the basic requirements are not only far from being met - they know that to be the case.

the brilliance of the UN Charter's ban on and conditions for use of force -- legitimate individual or collective self-defense, or Security Council authorization -- is that it challenges governments to justify what is the most devastating use of state power. it's also intuitive.

Evil Dead’s Bruce Campbell reveals he has cancer: ‘Fear not, I am a tough old son-of-a-bitch’ Actor and horror icon says he will need to withdraw from work to receive treatment, telling fans, ‘I’m sorry if that’s a shock – it was to me too’

Bruce Campbell is one of the greatest actors of this or any generation & I am a fan and I wish Campbell the best.

Fucking. Nightmares.

Good night Bluesky.

Together is the only way we build liveable todays and tomorrows.

I don’t care if antisemitism is “more prevalent on the right”, the point of my personal political project is that bigotry of all kinds has no place in a functioning society so I need to make sure that the people who claim they are on my side aren’t bigots. I have more contact with those people.

Any analysis has to acknowledge that current circumstances are "unusual." Donald Trump is, ostensibly, President. And (in addition to being illegitimate) Donald Trump has and continues to act in illegal and unconstitutional manners that would not have been seriously considered, much less enacted, in previous Presidential elections. Put differently, I have to recognize and admit the fundamental fact that we would not be talking about being at war with Iran--or how Iran failed to deter Donald Trump or whatever--except that Donald Trump is acting (with USA military compliance) outside the powers of the US Presidency. We are talking about war with Iran because Donald Trump decided--based on no immediate threat or danger or reason or strategic interest--that we were going to have an illegal, unauthorized war with Iran. This is dangerous, unprecedented in modern times (at the least), and extremely awful just so far. We can not, and must not, act and analyze and perform as if things weren't deeply perturbed and wrong. To analyze and talk as though all is normal and good is dangerous in part because it allows to keep acting that way even as "things" becoming increasingly hazardous and catastrophic. Trump has demonstrated the willingness to impulsively, and with little analysis or examination, carry out highly (illegal and) consequential actions such as the tariffs or kidnapping the President of Venezuela and bombing and going to war against Iran. This shows military and civilian state capacities will enable (sometimes encourage) Trump to do highly consequential things and the range, breadth, and consequentiality of those things is apparently and obviously huge and enormously consequential and that is terrifying. Once again, I call for us all to practice diversity of tactics to remove the Trump et al regime from power. Congress can end much of this at any time and contacting our Congressional delegation remains necessary.

We cannot continue as if Trump weren't (ostensibly) President & as if Trump & state apparatuses aren't doing illegal & unconstitutional things.

Why are we at war with Iran?

B/C Donald Trump decided to go for an illegal war w/Iran (enabled by Congressional inaction & military compliance).

I had to write about Iran.

And about doing analysis and research in the time of Trump.

Chart showing the duration of select nuclear-related positions in the JCPOA over time.

Reminder that none of this would've been possible if not for the neocons manipulating Trump's hatred of Obama to kill the JCPOA. From there, safeguards became unconstrained enrichment and all the scary things they're trotting out became possible.

Be careful buying what these guys are still selling.

They really did get a lot of mileage out of their own manufactured crisis

Said tonight while discussing Iran-

“The cluster of fuckery is horrifying”

I oppose both the process and the war.

i know exactly who needs to hear this but being against the procedures by which the president started a war isn't the same as being against the president starting a war

Or such is how I read the history.
