How come “How are you going to pay for it?” is never asked about endless war?

Republicans stay fighting against the Nazi accusations.

Accusations prove true every time

I feel like if I was the candidate infamous for having a nazi tattoo, I probably wouldn't pose for a photograph next to a man wearing an "88" t-shirt.

I think I'd probably wanna make it real clear that I had nothing to do with that man or his views.

Not only *did* they start this war, they have no idea how to finish it.

What matters for China the most:

Positive for them:

US busy, uses its military reserves at scale
Europe busy (between Putin and Trump)
Taiwan opens up

BUT:

Strait of Hormuz traffic went down by 70% today. 45% of their crude oil goes through the Strait of Hormuz. Their next choice - Russia.

Lin Jian 林剑 @SpoxCHN_LinJian X.com Chinese FM Wang Yi held a phone conversation with Iranian FM Seyed Abbas Araghchi. #China supports #Iran in safeguarding its sovereignty, security, territorial integrity, and national dignity, and supports Iran in upholding its legitimate and lawful rights and interests. China has urged the U.S. and Israel to immediately cease military operations, prevent further escalation of tensions, and stop the conflict from spreading and engulfing the entire #MiddleEast.

🪦 Donald Epstein🫣Trump

Are you implying a Fox News host is not qualified to be the Defense Secretary? He's probably played hundreds of hours of Call of Duty.

They died for his bribes.

Trump and Hegseth both opened the door to boots on the ground in Iran today.

Who the fuck voted for that?

As measles spreads in South Carolina, RFK Jr’s allies work to gut vaccine laws Activists who dispute safety of vaccines are pushing to limit immunization requirements in schools

“Epidemiological data is being used politically and selectively to create a scapegoat for routine infection rates that rise and fall…” says RFK Jr.’s BFF, Leslie Manookian.

No, Leslie. Measles was eliminated in the U.S.

It’s easy to be an anti-vaxxer because you’re not confined to facts.

😲 Qatar says they shot down two Iranian Su-24s

CENTCOM now says 3 F-15s were shot down by friendly fire over Kuwait. All crew members are alive and in good condition. 🤦‍♂️

Look, it’s pretty simple. No one with a functioning prefrontal cortex who has watched Trump the last 10 years is cloudy about this: There is no action he can take…or will… that is in the best interest of the American people. He. Is. Not. Capable.

These guys cannot get their stories straight

Channel 4 reporter Kermani to the Israeli Foreign Ministry Spokesperson, Israel is shocked to have their propaganda disrupted:

"The Iranian regime have done terrible things, but your Prime Minister is a wanted war criminal. You don't have the moral high ground here at all."

Just paid $401 for 3 prescriptions copays - used to be$50
With Medicare n blue cross advantage plan - I commented “ thank you trump” and cashier spit out her coffee !

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:

Mayor Mamdani throwing a bowling ball down the lane

For over a month, NYC nurses stood firm and refused to accept half-measures.

It was a privilege to join them on the picket line then, and an honor to join them at the bowling lanes to celebrate their victory with a few mores strikes.

So they have no plan. Got it.

I am a veteran with a son who currently serves. I don't blame her one fucking bit. But I damn sure have a shit ton of smoke for those who pushed out Joe Biden, sat at home, voted third party, STILL protesting Harris and the folks who flat out told those canvassing they can't vote for a woman. So

The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.

People who’ve never served are often the quickest to start dropping bombs without a plan for what’s next.

The American people have seen this play out before and they’re tired of it. Trump is sending our servicemembers into harm’s way without a clear explanation or an end goal.

Shoot me now

It is a choice to defend a system rather than reform it, even when the evidence echoing through calm but desperate 911 call logs shows a pattern of harm.

At some point, a society that claims to value human dignity has to confront its own contradictions.

Harrowing 911 calls capture children’s medical emergencies at Texas ICE facility Texas emergency crews dispatched nearly a dozen times in six months, according to call logs

So how, exactly, have we let this happen?

First, we have normalized cruelty in the name of immigration enforcement. What was once unthinkable detaining infants and toddlers in prisonlike conditions far from family, lawyers and the public eye has become bureaucratic business as usual.

Malala Yousafzai ‹ @Malala • 1h They were girls who went to school to learn, with hopes and dreams for their future. Today, their lives were brutally cut short. X I am heartbroken and appalled by the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, including reports that a girls' school in southern Iran was hit, resulting in the injury and death of many girls. The killing of civilians, especially children, is unconscionable, and I condemn it unequivocally. My heart is with the children, families and communities affected by escalation across the region. I stand firmly against violence and the targeting of schools and civilians. I call for the escalation of violence across the region to end. Justice and accountability must follow. All states and parties must uphold their obligations under international law to protect civilians and safeguard schools. Every child deserves to live and learn in peace.

The Mayor of Portland, OR after ICE shot tear gas into a crowd

“To those who..work for ICE: Resign..Through your use of violence and..trampling of the Constitution, you have lost all legitimacy and replaced it with shame. [G]o home, look in a mirror, and ask yourselves why you have gassed children”

Most coherent way to view the Trump second term is as a mass project of settling scores, not just his but conservative’s writ large. Obama, Biden, VRA, Venezuela, Cuba, the 14thA, the Ayatollah, feminists, liberals, avenging Nixon, fucking PBS. Spiritual enemies since before most of us were born
