An innocent school children and human beings in Iran. And the rest of the world as the nation with the most powerful military in the world acts like a drunk frat bro with a predilection for date rape.

CNN: More than 1,000 civilians killed in Iran since war began, rights group reports By Helen Regan More than 1,000 people, including children, have been killed in Iran since the war began on Saturday, according to US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA). The rights group said as of Tuesday afternoon ET, at least 1,097 civilians had been killed, including 181 children. More than 5,400 civilians, including 100 children, have been injured, HRANA reported. The group said its report is preliminary and is veritying hundreds more reported deaths.

At least 1,097 civilians had been killed in Iran so far, including 181 children.

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

Did congress authorize this fucking war where American lives will undoubtedly be lost? If not, why the fuck do we have a congress? Why are we paying very large salaries and benefits to all these assholes since they do absolutely NOTHING!

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

I'm already sick of "It's all a distraction from Epstein" replies. This regime is killing innocent people because our leaders are all power-hungry tyrants and war profiteers. When you say it's "just a distraction" you minimize the gravity of what's happening and the lives lost.

It’s bad enough that the president is starting illegal wars that will cause tragic losses of human lives. The irreverent attitude and glorifying violence makes it so much worse. Wish the constitution was still in effect. Oh and the cherry on top is that this will wreck the already shit economy.

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians.

We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

A U.S. official said American military strikes on Iran were underway.

Remember when Congress authorized the use of force against Iran?

Me neither.

Any U.S. attack on Iran would violate U.S. and international law.

Fuck this and everyone who helped get things to this point. Trans rights are human rights—full stop.

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws.

You know, like a democracy.

She didn’t say people can’t complain she just said she’s tired of it happening in her comments. Especially when it’s usually off topic. I’m curious why someone expressing their preference would make you angry? Why do you feel entitled to make every conversation about your feelings and experiences?

Any political party spreading lies about voter fraud as a pretext to make it harder for every one to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

Remember this.

Happy birthday to one of my favourite haters, Charles Darwin

I am really really resentful of people who don’t like the direction America is going in but do fuck all to try to change it. Like post and complain all day and then can’t be bothered to call a representative, go to a protest, or give five bucks to a charity. The bare fucking minimum.

BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote.

The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

this is a level of complicity that had not occurred to me

Since I’m airing petty grievances today it really bugs me that people are calling that TPUSA pedo tantrum a Super Bowl halftime show. It wasn’t affiliated with the Super Bowl. It was a separate event aimed at whiny losers with terrible taste, virulent racists, and bots.

I really struggle with the tone of books in the "Business Self Help" genre. They feel so culty.

Is anyone else mad at the fact that they have to pay federal taxes for bullshit they don't want? Like new ballrooms, the Gestapo, child torture, and human trafficking.

I wanna pay for education, social services, UBI, and universal health care! I'm so gotdamn mad right now, I need to lie down.

Orville Peck would be amazing for this assignment!

Pardoned insurrectionists commit crimes at a higher rate than immigrants.

Imagine being so committed to white supremacy and licking the boots of pedophile billionaires that you’d voluntarily watch Kid Rock and other D list hacks over actually good music. Republicans so corny and embarrassing.

Why are so many undocumented immigrants being held in detention for so long instead of being deported?
Simple. The billionaires who own the detention centers get paid for keeping people here. They don't get paid for people who get deported.
It's not about the law, it's about taking your money.

The one-day activism of January 30 was important and inspiring, but sustained work is what will continue to help slow the speeding train of chaos, hate, and retribution this administration has been on since day one.

Abolish AND prosecute ICE. And gratitude to Aliya for sharing her story.

Especially funny that the whitest, most anti-queer people in the world are trying to co-opt slang that originated in ballroom culture as if their Stepford wife creepy asses would talk like that.
