I'm not enjoying the reboot of the "Unprovoked War in the Middle East" reality TV show. It's just as pointless, but the actors are even stupider. And, frankly, I didn't think that would be possible.

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

Timothy Snyder said recently that the resistance to fascism is sometimes highly organized, as with #NoKings, and sometimes develops spontaneously. This is the latter. L.A. resisters are finding hotels ICE agents stay in & making sure they DON’T get a good night’s sleep. apple.news/AHAGjsRINRmq...

I usually watch TikTok videos while I work out, and this came across my feed tonight and I had to catch my breath from audibly sobbing. I can’t believe this is happening in our country. A US citizen in LA tries to question why an older maintenance worker is being taken, so they take him too

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

And just like that, the ‘No New Wars’ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.

So, it turns out we're treating fascism just like we've been treating climate change: – ignore warnings of experts – buy into bullshit "alternative explanations" - read "don't worry" media op-eds – deny it will really be that bad – start seeing major evidence – hope somebody does something

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
