war is not healthy for children and other living things

UPDATE: Iran has just voted to close the Strait of Hormuz. (Higher prices on everything loading) nypost.com/2025/06/22/w...

IRE has awarded the 2025 Don Bolles Medal to Rocío Gallegos of La Verdad. Gallegos has courageously reported from the U.S.-Mexico border since 1994, exposing government corruption and helping to report the truth behind the murders of two other journalists. www.ire.org/2025-don-bol...

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.

For anyone who had any doubt the felon will bomb Canada or Panama, it should be gone now! A unilateral decision to bomb Iran was made without Congress today! You know how it works, he keeps pushing the envelope and no one ever stops him!

Sexual harassers have to stick together.

“When you forcibly remove a book from a school or a library, and then say that school or library cannot replace it, you are banning that book from that school or library. That is a ban. That’s how the word works.”

Launching the U.S. into what could be yet another unpopular and costly forever war, while simultaneously pushing for an unpopular budget bill at home that will take food and healthcare away from millions of people. The "peace president."

These ICE agents are an embarrassment to law enforcement. Imagine being so afraid of being a public servant that they have to cover their face. Under no circumstances should any arresting officer be lawfully allowed to shield his/her identity.

I can argue the pros & cons of bombing Iran. Part of me is in a “damn right” mode since I saw what Iran did when resupplying IED components to Iraq in killing or GIs. I know intimately how they coordinate terror. I know. What I can’t get around is that Congress had no input—maybe doesn’t care. 1/4

All 3 of America's last 3 wars were started by born-rich Republican draft-dodgers… And that’s JUST A FACT. 😎✨

“He can’t do that.” It’s been done.

Working my part time this morning and the talk among these young people is that they are scared of going to war.. Terrible.

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.

The national debt will mean fuck all when America doesn't exist anymore.

makes me wonder what volume one was about

I shed zero tears for Iranian military personnel working at clandestine nuclear sites. None. But if you don't think this will result in more Marines on American streets, you're naive.

“…let’s not mistake this as a bold act by an American president making a serious decision for the good of the nation. This is dangerously reckless, illegal and impeachable action by a malignant despot desperate to be seen as a strong man.” www.americaamerica.news/p/trump-unil...

The US has never been more vulnerable to a terrorist attack than now and I think its intentional.

Starting to think these folks aren’t the “free thinkers” they think they are

Come on, people. Have you no decency? Whose idea was it to glitter bomb ICE? ☠️ 😂

Excellent

So tired of all the “he can’t do that” after he just does that.

Val is such a gem and this is perfection.

Reckless, impulsive and unconstitutional.

A war by any name…

Resistance will take many forms in the days and months ahead.

In LA, we have the right to film law enforcement in public spaces, as long as we do not interfere. Arturo Hermosillo says he was arrested for doing exactly that. He was in his van when he saw an older woman, a local tamale vendor, lying on the ground during an immigration raid & started recording.

The fact that our military was perfectly happy to use weapons abroad in violation of the War Powers Act doesn't bode well for us when they are asked to use weapons at home in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act.

Living in America: My husband is a naturalized citizen and also active duty military. So I get to be terrified that ICE may kidnap him at home, AND that he may be killed or injured when he deploys soon. I hate this, so so much.

Ever since recorded music attained fidelity on-par with live performances, it could be argued that nobody "needs" to learn to play an instrument. But luckily we decided the world is a better place when we teach each other how to play instruments so we still do it. I feel the same about writing.

Article 1, Section 8, Clause 11: [Congress shall have the power] to declare war.

In 2020, when I told people that I was building a pro-democracy media outlet, people thought I was kidding. When I told them that the fight for democracy was the fight of our time, they thought I was being overly dramatic. Well...here we are. Premium or free, subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

dropping 3 bombs & then saying “now is the time for peace” is peak america

There are journalists who had decades-long careers and the only time we mentioned their names in FAULT LINES was to quote their gullible cheerleading for the war in Iraq. Looks like a new generation is lining up to be memorialized in the same way. Your kids will be so proud!

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences. The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences. The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

Usually people like Clinton claim they HAVE to endorse the centrist candidate for electability reasons. But Mamdani could win the general election in blue NYC. Electability/polling/political strategy arguments are often just pretexts, masking ideological preferences.

God is DONE with anyone who isn’t emphatically: 1. Anti-war 2. Against sexual harassment Can God get an amen?

Wealthy men starting wars because of their inability to emotionally regulate is a tale as old as time. Who suffers most? Civilians and the working class young people shipped over to fight in a country we have no business being in. & the wealthy profit off of it from the safety of their mansions.

BREAKING: Federal judge denies Trump Administration’s motion to keep Kilmar Abrego Garcia in detention while his criminal case is pending. Hearing on Wednesday, June 25 to determine his conditions of release. abcnews.go.com/Politics/jud...

BREAKING: Some immigrants are now being escorted to their immigration hearings by both a gang member who ICE is afraid of, and a Catholic priest who ICE wouldn’t dare interfere with.

Learning about Climate Change is just depressing. We are so fucked. So incredibly, completely, and throughly, fucked.

Don’t let Trump illegally attacking Iran distract you from Trump illegally attacking Americans.
