I wonder if a hard-line successor will assume power and further destabilize the region just like every other time this has happened

A United States senator from the president's own party, one who serves on the Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, has no idea what's going on as America goes to war with Iran.

Israeli media reporting that the US and Israel have divided up the Iran attack thus: the US is targeting infrastructure, Israel is focussed on taking out Iran's leadership

It should go without saying that the aim here is to collapse Iran - a country of ninety million people - into ungovernable chaos and Mad Max-style warlord catastrophe, much as they have every other country from Libya to Afghanistan that they could not buy off.

Someone filmed the Iranian suicide drone attack from INSIDE the Bahrain hotel.

Extraordinary footage.

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time."
Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed.
That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

The GOP is not a legitimate political party and we should stop treating it like one. They're a criminal organization and a safe space for bigots.

Tyler Austin Harper post from 10/19/2024: Sure. Good. But right now we are walking the tightrope of yet another dumb war in the Middle East. So I think that’s bad and I think a lot of people, including young men in the rust belt she’s struggling with, would like some clarity on where she stands on war with Iran, etc.

Can we all agree that we never have to listen to this monument to mediocrity ever again

If there's anything that the US and Israel have taught the whole world, it's that the only logical position for any country trying to defend itself is to stockpile as many nukes as it can going forward.

I just don't see how we ever come back from this full mask off moment in our lifetimes. America and Israel are wealthy Russia and North Korea as far as the global public is concerned.

This country was created as a compromise between slave owners and slave financiers and not much has fundamentally changed in that dynamic since 1776

This is who our elite are, it's who they have always been. There is no compromising with American capital. We either bring them to heel under a democratic society, or their inhuman greed will bring Armageddon upon us. Those are the only outcomes left on the table.

Do not forget the people of Lebanon either, who have been suffering the "preemptive" bombardment of Israel for well over a year and a half and are suffering it intensified tenfold today

Congratulations to OKC fans who saw a night filled with the most exciting product in town: cheap shots and tedious and drawn out officiating decisions

I do appreciate OKC's embrace of basketball villainy though. After Jamal Murray killed the Lakers, I haven't felt true hate in my basketball heart in a couple years, and OKC and all their bullshit make me feel sports hate with the fire of a thousand suns.

I don't understand how it's possible to root for the Thunder unless you just hate everything that makes basketball fun and would prefer to watch a team based around the theory that they can't call a foul on every possession

Daily chart of Block, Inc., a publicly traded company run by Twitter co-founder and Bitcoin lunatic Jack Dorsey. Today's daily candle opened about 13% higher than yesterday's close, and reached a peak of as high as 23% higher before selling off to a 14% higher price than yesterday's closing price

Not exactly encouraging seeing this huge gap up in Block, Inc. stock after they laid off 40% of their staff

For the first time in 25 years of Gallup polling, more Americans say they sympathize with Palestinians than with Israelis.

I do think we’ve got a responsibility to really sit with the truth that some Trump administration things we’re horrified by were Obama administration things too, and we just didn’t listen.
