It's way too early to claim that the Iran airstrikes were a smashing success. And it's also too early to consider as definitive the early reports suggesting limited effectiveness. It takes time, and that's just the way it is. NEW from @markhertling.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/first-repo...

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

When a mob was barreling down on him, Michael Fanone stood strong to defend our country. Fanone embodies the American spirit of bravery. While elites hide and kiss up to Trump, be like Mike — be brave.

Sophia was working to keep our air clean. But after Trump gutted key environmental programs, she was laid off. “It’s heartbreaking to see an administration that doesn’t value the health and well-being of its citizens.”

Dissecting a NYT story about a Texas chiropractor who wouldn't vaccinate his kids. He got measles—a breakthrough case—and had to be hospitalized. So did all four of his kids. Medical science saved their lives. Yet for further care he turned to an antivax quack. Of course. Just no learning here.

Trump just cancelled a classified House briefing on the Iran strikes with zero explanation. The real reason? He claims he destroyed “all nuclear facilities and capability;” his team knows they can’t back up his bluster and BS. Here's what they're scared we'll ask: 🧵

Hard not to believe that the current moment will not completely poison many people's ability to trust the US government for a long time. No-one really believes that the masked men dishing out the kind of violence will ever face any sort of accountability.

A lot of people defending Trump bombing Iran would’ve just as passionately defended him not bombing if he’d called for restraint instead. We'd be hearing he’s the most peace-loving president in history. So many people's principles start & end with loyalty to one man.

Sad that we have to wait for independent third parties to confirm the success of such important strikes, but that’s where we are. No way for us to trust the President’s own characterization of the attack.

Trump posts on social media and speaks to the nation, sounding like someone’s deranged uncle who drank too much eggnog at Christmas, and then the media proceeds to treat him as a serious person who actually has strategies and coherent plans….

ICE arrested Job Garcia while he was running errands in LA. Job is a US citizen, a scholar, and a brilliant photographer. He’s also my friend. But none of that should determine his humanity. ICE must release Job Garcia immediately.
