2004 Iraq: Islamic extremists invade US, join sleeper cells 2025 Iran: Islamic extremists invade US, join sleeper cells Please don't buy into this anti-Muslim propaganda. It is racist & dangerous. Keep the focus on the facts: Trump violated the US constitution & must be held accountable. Period

Gen X actually had two wars in the Gulf: what Iraqis & Iranians call the First Gulf War (1980-1988) and what Americans call the First Iraq War (1990-1991). Our music was definitely better. But a bunch of our generation turned out to be horrible humans—the same machine the rest of us rage against.

Funding for public media has been threatened in the past, but this is different. Please listen and share widely. This is bigger than Big Bird -- not just an attack on PBS and NPR but on local programming in diverse, rural, and tribal communities everywhere. copperstateofmind.show/episode/save...
