β€œWar-ravaged”!?!?! This is such insane bullshit. That’s what they WANT and are determined to manifest. The only wars in Portland are what the fascists bring 😑

Hi Congress, how’s it going? What’d you do today? Got any fun impeachments planned or not so much?

What was in the Iran nuclear deal and why did Trump withdraw the US from it? Known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA, the deal followed two years of negotiations during the Obama administration.

Just in case anyone wants a reminder of how Trump helped create the situation he's now using as justification to bomb Iran. abcnews.go.com/Politics/ira...

I am once again reminding everyone that the President does not get to declare war, that is solely the responsibility of Congress.

Donald Trump and JD Vance are about to open up Iraq War 2.0, and Democratic leadership is just…nowhere to be seen?

Do you think the thorough education @dieworkwear.bsky.social gives this guy got through? I have such low faith in people’s abilities to learn and change their minds, but this is *chef’s kiss*

ICE has only existed since 2003. A Bush-era creation, it is a militarized federal secret police that has been imbued with the Supreme Court with the unconstitutional power to ignore the fourth amendment.

Abolishing it and salting the earth where it grew is the moderate stance.
