As the train of fascism, steadily approaching the platform, slowly pulled in, the journalist traded clever ledes while the historians made notes and the politicians wrote letters.

GEEEEEZUUUUUSSS. Is Iran supposed to be Trump's Ukraine? Do Republicans ever think what happens when Democrats regain control of Congress?

Am I taking a break from fasting to eat ice cream or meal substituting? Feels like the fast is dead and the ice cream is chilling. Puns galore.

People run for cover in Tel Aviv as missiles come from Lebanon -APNEWS

This was all a ruse for the Mad Man of The Middle East to start a new war with Lebanon. He knew they would shoot a few rockets at Tel Aviv and it would allow him to do a full scale invasion of Lebanon and a another land grab.

Lebanon, for sure. Pieces of Syria? Jordan just sitting real tight, closely monitoring.

I think I saw you today in the Village, just sitting on a bench, enjoying the sun, like a psychopath.

I heard the 13 year old boys fawning over Elon Musk. They would say he was "smart, tech savvy, and good at business." Leaving out the core parts of his success being a product of Apartheid profiteering.

Same new generation that just swung way more conservative in the last presidential election.

This elicits so many thoughts and feelings, many contrary.

I have been saying this for a year, but how high does the body count have to get before Trump Regime enters club with Pol Pot, Mao, or even Stalin? Should we make a carve out from Godwin's Law for President Trump?

"Lucifer" is right - this country has a values issue.

We are spending a billion dollars per day on this war of choice right now. What a disgrace.

Because no one genuinely takes the cost-saving excuses from Republicans very seriously. Have seen it as just an extension of their agenda, white power and greed, for a couple decades now.

i can't believe I'm about to type this, but this is actually pretty hard-hitting stuff from Maria Bartiromo to Lindsey Graham on Iran

Did he say 60% to make 11 bombs? So they had enough to make 5 bombs. That’s not where they completely lacked the ability to deliver a warhead farther than Baghdad.

I guess thank goodness that the OR Democrats will never let her get control of anything. She’d be throwing up Hail St. Nick salutes if it gave her control of these basement warriors. To be noted, the fed is always running undercover operations in west OR, cause they love guns and scheming.

Not defending the politician, but they’ll famously pose for a picture with anyone. I have a whole camera roll in my phone from just being physically present at events. They’ll even ask, they’re hounds. This guy, though, just typical stupid anti-American OR. It has a wild GOP.

but his ineptitude and stupidity are in no way a reflection of his deep seated resentment of the exceptionalism he sees in hardworking immigrants exemplifying the real American dream of a land of opportunity.

Reminds me of the Pedagogy of the Oppressed.

The worst thing since the power mongering ended Reconstruction was the when LBJ passed the the Civil and Voting Rights Act and it saw the the party of the wealthy establishment gain the support of white supremacy america. 2/2

There is nothing good, nor admirable in the Republican Party.
Feels like the rightwing media and their crony politicians have pulled the country into a Futurama plot.

Why was this story on the front page of the UK’s Daily Telegraph β€” but NOT America’s leading newspapers?

The war on Iran is unfolding alongside a wave of mass layoffs in the US. These are not separate crises. They are two sides of the same offensive by the ruling class against the working class.
