I was sitting at the seminar table for Catherine Keller's apocalypse and creation class when Bush pulled this shit this all feels so surreal

Still still still this

Congrats to Ellen et al for helping rehab GWB and contributing to collective amnesia about what this shit looks like

I'm hit

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.

Who started a what with who now

For The Guardian, I wrote about the ways imperialists, occupiers and invaders weaponise Muslim women’s bodies and rights to justify their wars. www.feministgiant.com/p/essay-neta...

This is the second time ProPublica has sued the FDA in recent years. Along with @post-gazette.com‬, we filed a lawsuit in 2023 against the agency for withholding records related to the massive recall of breathing machines made by Philips Respironics. The FDA ultimately provided the documents.

yes i am sure

Nothing is a fucking distraction from anything it’s all the one thing

He finally got to meet his baby 🥺

Every 5 years, the US wants to bomb a country to “save its women,” while stripping away rights from women across the US

May every single human being on this planet be safe. May every single person be protected from harm. May we bring into being a time in which we are all free from those who do evil— together, speedily and in our days.

Unclear why Lionel Hutz is on CNN

The only real danger to Americans is anyone on the highway while John Fetterman is watching all this on a gaming laptop, grunting with simian approval

I really pictured Jesus as part of this lineup for a second but that bitch would never

I'm gutted and furious that the Iranian people will be injured, harmed and killed as a result of this absolutely depraved act of violence. What a complete travesty on every single level.

He literally bombed the home of the remaining Jews in Iran. www.jpost.com/middle-east/...

I can’t fucking believe we’re doing this.

yes good more of this sort of thing

I am not open to the idea that the US should attack Iran

Israel isn't in control of the United States. This is just who the US is and has always been. Saying we're controlled is just a way of saying we're victims. We're not. We're an imperial power that likes war because it's profitable and enriches our oligarchs. That's it.

So odd that Congress is so willing to have their power usurped and stripped from them.

All they want is death and more death. Damn them.

I’m never going to see precedented times

We’re not getting nuked (they never fucking had nukes). We’re just going to have more bodies on our national conscience and our souls will erode a little more around the edges but our lives will largely continue unaltered. Empire corrodes us all.

People understand that Iran is not actually developing nuclear weapons right Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

This is the worst fucking group project I've ever been involved with.

I don't know nearly enough about Iranian history but the little I do know is that Iranians have fought harder for their freedom than most Americans could possibly imagine we have fucked this beautiful country at every possible opportunity and it breaks my heart

Fuck. www.lemonde.fr/en/internati...

re: OP - they will rescind all my degrees in religious studies if I don't point out the book is singular (john of patmos just had the one revelation) but otherwise yeah, p much I'm curious about when this admin starts trying to "remigrate" Jews "back" to Israel tbh

illegal war started by a man constitutionally ineligible to be president
