Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

Sittin up thinkin about so many things

1 overnight shoot and an extra nap and I'm back fully nocturnal

War pays...somebody...

I think people would be talking more about Congress if we could remember a single goddamn time in the past ten years they truly did something that represented the will of the people. The fact we are essentially *without* representation in our government is an absolute scandal but it doesn't feel new

The war in Iran is illegal under the UN Charter, under War Powers Act, and didn't even comply with National Security Act.

Baby over the road is crying, to which I say, grow up. The geopolitical situation is actually more nuanced than that.

I was just sent video from Bernie’s fight oligarchy tour in my hometown of Tulsa, OK where folks were yelling NO MORE WAR. I never thought I’d see this day. Never in my lifetime. Oklahoma is a military state and the fact people were yelling NO MORE WAR is incredible.

polling on bombing Iran showed the public very solidly against it and they have put absolutely nothing into selling it besides “lol I’m the president I have bombs isn’t it so cool” I guess we’ll see how much the war-horny media does to shift things but loud immediate public opposition will be key

A Persian phrase used when nothing makes sense any more is sag mizane, gorbe miraghse. It means “the dog is playing an instrument and the cat is dancing.”

Agree

The alt-right red pill pivot is nearly complete

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Highly recommend Al Jazeera as a place to start

On college fb because why not

Fell asleep on the couch and just looked at my phone as I relocated to bed ................

Following the President’s decision to bomb nuclear facilities in Iran, I’ve directed our public safety teams to be on heightened alert for potential threats to Minnesota. While there’s no known threats at this time, we’ll continue to monitor the situation and respond accordingly.

look Republicans start wars and increase the debt; they're born this way and it's basically discrimination to make a thing about it

The hardest rule of Beltway journalism is that Republican public officials have no agency and bear no responsibility for choices fully within their discretion

This is the creator of the graphic novel the movie I was talking about is based on PERSEPOLIS! Watch it, read it, whichever

I was wrong, precedented times are also bad

Replacing golf courses with housing? My man. Can we get a version of this guy in Southern California please? NYers please don't elect Cuomo when you have two excellent candidates ready to do the work.

Lmaoo we are getting closer

Compared to the build up in 2003, which was months and months of build up on top of a cresting wave of anxiety, nationalism, Islamophobia and bloodthirst since 9/11, what Trump and media did here was the equivalent of a cop pointing and yelling "he's got a gun" and then opening fire

It’s time for you to resign.

The hell you just woke up to

I think about this photo from right after Hurricane Katrina quite often. See, Black America has been here before..

I mean no disrespect for whoever made this but my visual storyteller me wants to let y'all know that having the figure in the first panel facing toward the second panel makes for a better story flow in the strip. (as you can see here)

✋ Former US government War Power lawyer here. The War Powers Resolution does not/not provide any additional authority to use military force. The Article II arguments for using force against Iran are entirely bogus. As are any claims that either the 2001 or 2002 AUMFs authorize this attack.

Which is why I’m like “\o/“ behind it. 🗣️ UNTIL THE WHITES TAP INTO THEIR MOTHER TONGUE OF VIOLENCE, KEEP IT ON THE PLAYGROUND

We should all just firmly but politely ask him to stop being President.

If anyone is active duty and deployed to CENTCOM and worried about what's going on or has news about what's up, please talk to me or @marisakabas.bsky.social

lol that shit ain’t “interesting” - not even in an ironic, snarky way That shit is DUMB AS FUCK

What’s a good weekend destination (flying) from DC where I stay in the contiguous US but would feel satisfied doing a Friday morning or afternoon to Sunday evening trip? I don’t want to go to Miami but I would. (Please I am begging responders to stay within parameters and not suggest a new thing.)

I think the real reason why so many of our federal elected officials who "disagree with what's happening" don't/won't actually take a stand is if anyone in Washington could start facing consequences, they all could. God forbid they suffer for any of the horrific things they've been complicit in.

BBC world news is usually decent, and you actually get to hear world news. There's so much that NEVER makes our broadcasts smh

I am 40 yrs old. I was like 5-7 when Lee greenwood dropped "God bless the usa". They used to play it at the skate rink. Stormin Norman would be on TV like he was an NFL coach not a US General.

right now bombing Iran is incredibly unpopular. i suspect the admin is betting this will inspire retaliatory terrorist attacks against Americans that will help to manufacture consent for further escalations.

Woke up from a BOMBASTIC nap, looked at the tl:
