"Trump has this thing where he kind of wishes things into being - 'Well, if I just do it, people will support it, Iran will surrender, and things will work out somehow' - but that's not how a war of this size goes." - @radiofreetom.bsky.social

A federal crime.

The president of the United States is accusing his DHS secretary of committing a federal crime.

As our Govโ€™t claims to care about dictators abroad, while slashing our health care, early childhood funding, programs to fight hunger here at home, it is also trying to make it harder for us to decide who should be trusted to lead! We @civilrightsorg.bsky.social are fighting for voters.

I will forever be so mad at Biden for nominating Rahm to be ambassador to Japan โ€” in part because this was a thing that actually happened:

Worth pondering how many Iranian civilians we've killed since 1979 vs. how many US citizens they and their proxies have killed since then - I don't have the figures at hand, but it ain't good. Don't forget we also blew up a civilian airliner in flight the last time the Strait of Hormuz was closed.

The Times does the passive headline with so many stories.
Sheehy wasn't helping. His "help" wasn't needed. The veteran wasn't protesting. He was expressing his opinion.
