Bunch of Senators on both sides sounding the alarm about possible boots on the ground in Iran after their classified briefing today.

I was told Kamala was going to send my children to fight in Iran. What happened?

I’ve been doing this lately and I feel like it’s helping me from becoming politically burned out. Super helpful to just fully let the joy in and bask in it. Also, it’s a form of protest and resistance in itself. They won’t take our joy.

We need to pass a House rule or law that requires them to work a certain number of days to get paid. Since Mike Johnson took over these people hardly ever work. When they finally come back after weeks off they work 2 days and he sends them home for 2 more weeks. It’s ridiculous.

So for all you β€œleave NATO” dummies out there, wanna explain how we defend ourselves without them?

Britain, France, Germany, the GCC (Bahrain, Kuwait, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman) are currently knocking down Iranian missiles and drones.

And this is just Iran. Not a peer.

Just in case they are looking to see public response.

I am against war. I am against collaborating with warmongers. I'm against war crimes and the massacre of children. Of anyone.

War is monstrous.

What is being done cannot be justified. I am ashamed of and disgusted by the horror we unleash.

This is going to be hard for some people to accept, but I think the US government is lying to us about the state of negotiations between itself and Iran.

Excellent take. I’m an AuDHDer and I didn’t know he was supposed to be autistic but I think I just assumed. He’s so like many of the people I love who have autism. He did such a great job with it and in representing the community well.

The law they’re trying to use to do this is IEEPA. 🀣🀣🀣 The one the supreme court just told him he couldn’t use. This has zero teeth and was written by dipshits with a lack of critical thinking skills.
