One nightmare that has been alleviated is the current Iranian regime becoming a nuclear power. No nukes for them. Rejoice. Of course there are lots of other problems - but those problems wouldn’t have gone away had Israel and the USA allowed Iran to get the bomb.

Anyone that hasn't sold themselves to the Russian dictator should understand that Russia is 100% aiding in Iran's nuclear weapons program just like they did in the 1960's with North Korea.

It's not just that Jeff Bezos, an Ivy grad, let Kristi Noem publish a dick-wagging op-ed in his rag. How pathetic is effort on her part? WaPo is not where you want to be EITHER to influence the country or DC. Trump has pushed a deal more aggressively than Harvard. web.archive.org/web/20250623...

I’ve been what I consider left wing insofar as domestic policy goes my entire life. I’ve always felt that the Dems (who represent the center to the left) disadvantage themselves because they think Americans as a whole care about PROCESS as much as Dem politicians do. 1 of 2

Reup: Does Stephen Miller Know Pam Bondi Is Harboring Criminal Aliens? In Pam Bondi's bid to punish Kilmar Abrego Garcia, she's working on releasing two guys who are WORSE than what he is alleged, possibly letting them stay in the US. www.emptywheel.net/2025/06/22/d...

Standing up for the totalitarian theocratic Iranian regime whose two main principles are "death to America" and "death to Israel"? Automatic block.

If the Pope says, "War is bad, don't do it" I say - tell that to Putin, Iran, the Islamists. Don't expect liberal democracies to roll over and play dead to satisty your morbid attachmet to platitudes.

I voted for Kamala Harris and believe she would have bombed the Iranian sites as well. If she hadn't, I wouldn't have voted for her a second time.

The number of foolish people on Bluesky criticizing the effort to remove the Iranian regime's nuclear weapons program is shocking. The Islamic regime is murderous, totalitarian, misogynist and involved in almost all of the world's terrorism. The vast majority of Iranian citizens want it gone.

800,000 people have been killed in the Russian imposed war in Ukraine. Why don't progressives give a crap?

Why is it that none of the people who hate Jews (they say they're anti-Israel) complain about the Arabs killing all the non-Arabs in Sudan? Why don't they complain about the Houthi's causing mass genocidal starvation in Yemen, why don't they complain about the Assad regime killing 600,000 Syrians.

It took 46 years for the USA to finally take action on Iran. Better late than never. To the people of Iran: your tormenters are almost gone. Don't f up the job of replacing them with a liberal democray mindset rather than just a different barbaric, tribal set of interests. Good Luck.

This is a lie. The best month in US history for wage growth was April 2021 with 15.42%. This month was a modest 3.9%.

Which do you care about more? The safety of the world and protecting it from totalitarian theocracy - recognizing different degrees and differences in immediate threats? Or Saying nasty things about Trump?
