The military and everyone in it is choosing to go along with this illegal war. And they should pay a big price for murdering all those children. There is nothing honourable about being part of this killing machine. Why is the white house not surrounded with protesters?
I have to say that the military leaders have acted on unconstitutional orders, as I understand it. That makes them as guilty of breaking constitutional law as the political leaders. Their futures are as locked in as those who are, in effect, committing war crimes
Chris Murphy: “This is the most incompetent, incoherent war America has fought in the last 100 years — this administration has no idea what they are doing
I have great sympathy for our soldiers & our military leaders — they are being given directions by a senile old man who is losing his mind”

Democracy's vice in action.
Democracy's grace is that we chose the most corrupt, bigoted, callous, callow, shallow, venal, corrupt, sociopath available, we also picked the stupidest.
I'm sorry if it's bad strategy or whatever, but those who voted for this knew what they were doing, are absolutely responsible for the outcome in moral and practical senses, and deserve to be shamed and ridiculed for it.
And gender.
The American public has been brainwashed for over decades by foreign disinfo and complicit American media. Look at the popularity of Putin with Republicans. You don't get that without active measures. And it goes way back.

A surprising amount of people are evil, stupid, or both
Its just that he hates the same people I do
Before Trump won in 2016, when I thought he’d lose, I told my buddy “if you and nine friends are choosing dinner and six choose pizza and the other four choose ‘kill and eat the other six,’ even though pizza won, you’ve still got a problem.” Then pizza didn’t win.
All this was a choice. I can’t get over how all of this was a choice. A plurality of American voters saw corruption, bigotry, pandemic, economic crisis, coup attempt, and criminal conviction, then opted for more.
Disinformation spread by Fox News, social media turned people into hate filled zombies. Same as in Russia.
The solutions: 1. Bring back fairness doctrine. 2. Fed/state governments invest heavily in nonpartisan news like local PBS. 3. Fund public schools to raise critical thinkers. 4. Expand vote.
Democrats and people of conscience should not pretend these are legitimate news outlets or that they're required for public outreach
spend that time elevating and building new, progressive media
CBS slowly becoming Fox-lite, seems more dangerous than actual Fox News, given its historical brand of “credibility”.
right wing propaganda depends on everyone pretending they're journalism
Another bravo for The Mayor for getting this fact some daylight:
The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.
A truly extraordinary moment.
We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
Act like it.
There are so many excellent responses to Brendan Carr's fascist overreach on twitter. Here's one of my favorites.
Well this blew up.
Not a lawyer, but this is a case where the government (the FCC) is trying to stifle free speech.
First Amendment violation, Brendan.
I wonder if a class-action lawsuit (with 320 million of us being the injured class) might change your mind.
Do this and ALL of us will see you in court.
Honestly the best distillation of how this administration thinks.
This administration exists for no reason other than to harm Americans. It's so obvious. Every decision they make causes harm.
The American regime only cares about power and the money needed to have that power. Human life isn't valuable to them unless they can trade it for more power. Let's not look for humanitarian nobility in a bunch of redneck sadists. They don't care if people die. They. really. don't. care.
"Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has said the virus should be allowed to burn through flocks so that farmers can identify birds with natural immunity, an approach public health experts have called “dangerous and unethical.”
THIS guy again (SMH)
Bird flu has a 52% mortality rate. Covid has a 1.2% mortality rate. Imagine if half of your family died. Imagine half of your community, half a large city dead from birdflu.
They did not give one wit of care during Covid? Why would they with bird flu?
Yup, this will 100% catalyse the next global pandemic.
The "let it rip" approach which is being championed by the fuckwits in government WILL NOT result in meaningful "natural" immunity being communicated through the bird population because the industry DOESN'T WORK IN A WAY THAT THAT CAN HAPPEN.
