The idea that we can "easily" overthrow the regime in Iran is a fantasy of people that have never served. Afghanistan is back in the hands of the Taliban after 20 years of slaughter. Iraq still isn't peaceful. Libya is a war zone that's been in civil war since we dropped bombs. History is screaming!

Juneteenth calls us to understand the realities of our past, celebrate the resilience and achievements of Black Americans, and align the course of our country toward its founding creed of liberty and justice for all. Wishing everyone a meaningful Juneteenth!

Bibi starts a war with Iran and so Trump is making it our war? All of these people who got mad at Biden for his restraint and now our kids are preparing to serve as Israel’s emergency backup. What happened to ‘no new wars’ or ‘Harris will have us fighting Iran?’ It won’t be their kids fighting.

I notice people calling what we’re seeing these last couple of days “riots.” I was here during the 1992 Los Angeles riots. That’s not what this is. Local police can handle this, but ICE needs to back off—especially with these amateur hires who don’t know what the f*ck they’re doing.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...

If morons were idiots, then the name “morons” wouldn’t need to exist. You’d just call them idiots.

🚨A new poll shows Democrat Nathan Sage @sageforiowa.bsky.social is the strongest challenger against scandal-ridden Sen. Joni Ernst, leading by a 47%-45% margin. The DC elites don’t want folks like Nathan in Congress — but working class people do. Please donate what you can! actl.ink/ntsgcmpln?re...

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop. “If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???” Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is unnecessary or a luxury, survive a month without it.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

It’s hardly surprising that the same people who were fine with older Americans dying from Covid have no issues with cutting Medicare.

We need to fight for public media that’s not controlled by billionaires. PBS makes it so easy to email your mouth-breathing reps and tell them to protect PBS funding.

Your daily reminder to never take your foot off the gas pedal. It's easy to fall into a lull and complacency now that the election is over but the war on our sovereignty is only just beginning. Support our economy. Do your part. Keep Canada strong and free. #buycanadian #shoplocal #elbowsup
