So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.

That's $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

Thousands of lives lost.

People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.

I’m just curious if any of the disgusting juvenile delinquents making the ridiculous war glorification videos for the White House ever served in combat. Or even served in the military at all.

If you start seeing a lot of contradictory information about casualties and injuries in Iran, remember this is the same administration that downplayed COVID.

We seem to now be on the cusp of a world war, and I can't figure out why this is happening.

AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.

DOJ's recent 6th Circuit filing misspelled:

Voters as β€œVotors”
Emergency as "Emeregency"
United States as "United Staes"

And, it included a non-party in the caption.

These are the people who want access to your sensitive voting records and who my team fights in court every day.

Of course. No one wanted this war. They wanted food and health care and energy prices to go down. Now all those things will cost more.

It's a war of folly by a doddering old man who likes when things blow up and needs to distract us from the child sex ring he's connected to.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

The Law of War I am not a law of war expert.

What does it mean if the administration's strike on Iran wasn't lawful? It's not an abstract debate. First principles, like the rule of law, determine whether we live in a country governed by laws or by impulse. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
