John Fetterman 2022 voters,

Just curious. When we said Conor Lamb was the better choice and warned that Fetterman was problematic, including the incident where he chased an innocent Black man while armed with a rifle, did you not see our warnings, or did you just not care?

US military says three of its troops killed in first Iran operation casualties Three U.S. service members have been killed and another five have been seriously wounded, in the first casualties of the unfolding U.S. operations against Iran, the U.S. military said on Sunday.

Reports indicate at least 100 children have already been killed in strikes on schools. That is unconscionable.

Three U.S. service members are dead as a result of this entirely preventable war of choice.

The blood of these service members, these children, and every civilian rests in Trump’s hands.

I actually am unhinged enough to think it’s not out of the realm of possibility that he launches a war to distract from Epstein files and have a reason to declare a national emergency to suspend voting. It’s not as if lost lives matter to him.

By the way, speaking of Obama's tan suit, not a goddamn peep that Trump announced a war while wearing a baseball cap (and no tie).

Because only the black guy is held to the standards of dress by Republicans.

In NYC, everyone knows, when the U.S. starts another war, people protest by marching to Times Square which has a U.S. Army recruiting station at the center.

This is today at "Stop War on Iran" march.

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.

Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

Today I’m proposing a ban on assault rifles, high-capacity magazines, binary triggers, firearms without serial numbers, and more.
