Iran Does Not Have Nuclear Weapons - Lawyers, Guns & Money It’s time to say it again: It’s highly doubtful that the Iranians were pursuing a nuclear weapon. And they certainly don’t have any. Donald Trump says that (one of the purposes/ the purpose) of his at...

I would remiss if I did not adequately amplify @cherylrofer.bsky.social's concise, clear, and unassailable summary of why one of the Trump administration's main rationales for its illegal war is bullshit.

Reminder that if you see something horrific, there is good evidence that playing Tetris as soon as possible helps.

Giving yourself PTSD from seeing photos or film clips doesn’t help anyone.

Team Trump Opposed War With Iran. Then They Started One Donald Trump, JD Vance, Tulsi Gabbard, Stephen Miller, and so many in MAGA claimed they would stop regime-change wars, not start them. We have the receipts.

β€œTeam Trump Opposed War with Iran. Then They Started One”

Receipts from Zeteo on how Trump, Vance, Gabbard, RFK, Miller et al all said one thing about Iran & regime change wars… but then did the exact opposite:

Donald Trump is dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want. Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm’s way for the sake of Trump’s war of choice.

Retired Space Force colonel warns Trump’s Iran strikes are β€˜reckless adventurism and distraction’ β€œPresident Trump brings us one step closer to extended war in the Middle East again,” Bree Fram said.

NEWS: β€œOperation Epic Fury is aptly named as what happens anytime President Trump doesn’t get what he wants," Col. Bree Fram said about Trump’s unauthorized war with Iran.

A Nationwide Book Ban Bill Has Been Introduced in the House of Representatives Hours after the State of the Union address, House republicans introduced legislation banning LGBTQ+ books from public schools nationwide.

Following the lies and hatred targeting trans folks during the State of the Union Address, numerous republican House representatives introduced a bill that would create A NATIONWIDE BOOK BAN.

Here's what it is and what to do: bookriot.com/hr7661-book-...

People are asking what else they can do.

My advice is to drop your subscriptions to Paramount and Warner Brothers services and use that money to support as many independent media outlets as you can afford. Pick a couple and give them a try. It's critical we build a pro-democracy media ecosystem.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

The President boasts of "no tax on tips", but this expires in 2028.
He boasts of "no tax on overtime," but it is taxed, and the break expires in 2028.
He boasts of "no tax on social security," but it is taxed, and his break expires in 2028.

He also passed tax cuts for the rich. They're permanent.

trump is calling for banning congressional stock trading, but he leaves out the key detail: the reason there's a standstill right now is democrats want it to apply to trump and the white house, but trump issued a veto threat over that.

A tariff β€œrefund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

Buy a box or two or donate for others. Support your local troop also. Half the money stays with the local troop to fund their programs. Girl Scouts are committed to being anti-racist and inclusive. They do a lot of good.

On tariffs, the Supreme Court's GOP justices appear ready to save Trump from himself The administration's economic recklessness threatens Republicans' grip on power.

Context behind the ruling, as @pemalevy.bsky.social wrote in November during oral arguments:

"A loss for Trump will, in fact, be doing him a favor. And the GOP-appointed justicesβ€”who have spent the past 10 months giving Trump virtually everything he wantsβ€”surely know this."
