We are a nation of 349M, yet one man decided to launch our nation into a reckless, illegal war without congressional authorization or counsel or the support of the American people. He didn’t think he had any duty to sell it or serve the people’s interests. This is why despotic rule is so dangerous.
Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."
“The clear winner of this war is Putin”
Must be a coincidence 🙃
the country is at war and the president is leaving DC this afternoon for a weekend at his private club in Florida that he'll spend with his paying customers

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:
Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.
And recognized as such by the US Government.

Ah, yes! The Conversation.

The President of the United States casually talking about destroying a country “in an hour” should chill every democracy on Earth.
This is exactly why leadership requires restraint, diplomacy, and respect for human life.👇
I don’t know how this nation is going to survive the Trump regime. But we all must do what ever we can to stop the MAGA movement which unbeknownst to many is destroying us from within.

Remembering JOHN CAZALE - who left us 48yrs ago today, aged just 42 - one of the finest Actors of his generation.
He famously appeared in just 5 films (over a 7yr period) all of which were nominated for the Best Picture Oscar.

about the EPSTEIN FILES
Confirmed.
Holy shit!

Trump really thinks he can end a war he started by lying about them surrendering on social media. That’s not how this works
"On March 15, supporters of people with long COVID, along with those raising awareness, will gather at Queen’s Park at 2 p.m., showing it’s never too late to care about COVID." @teachrprecarity.bsky.social

Yesterday was a tragic day for America and our Air Force. I flew the KC-135 for just two years at the start of my Air Force career, but this one still hits close to home. Keep our military in your prayers.

The war is going so well that the secretary of defense is spending his morning yelling at cnn
The Pentagon is moving an Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) to the Middle East.
This consists of an amphibious task force naval element and a landing force (Marine Expeditionary Unit / MEU) and about 5,000 marines.
If this war continues to unravel, Trump will eventually need to explain the casualties and define what victory actually means. Democratic institutions have not restrained him. Congress has not restrained him. Elections and public opinion have not restrained him.
wait are these the actual paid protesters
"If we have Senators and Congressmen there that can't protect themselves against the evil temptations of lobbyists, we don't need to change our lobbies, we need to change our representatives."

As America descends further into the darkness of authoritarian fascism under Trump, Tolkien's words resonate.
"War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength." -George Orwell's '1984'
Folks don't like that we continue to ask them to contact their reps and demand that they do their jobs.
Believe us when we say: WE GET IT.
We're tired of it, too. We're completely exhausted by Congressional negligence and complicity.
However! There is a method to our (seeming) madness.
🧵
Dark money groups are paying influencers to spread attacks about our campaign.
Voters deserve to know who is trying to manipulate our election.
