This is what they've done.
ENTCOM Update TAMPA, Fla. β As of 4 pm ET, March 2, six U.S. service members have been killed in action. U.S. forces recently recovered the remains of two previously unaccounted for service members from a facility that was struck during Iran's initial attacks in the region. Major combat operations continue. The identities of the fallen are being withheld until 24 hours after next of kin notification.
Trumpβs war on Iran has now claimed six American lives in addition to many more Iranians
In the last 18 hours:
(1) I had a 70+ year old almost hit my kids in a stroller, and
(2) had an elderly oncoming driver drift into my lane, passing me as I dodged her seemingly unaware of my presence.

So, so instructive to compare media response to Afghanistan withdrawal -- months of hysterical garment-rending & catastrophizing, relentless criticism of the admin -- with the response to an unprovoked, unmotivated, illegal war of aggression, ie, "some critics say maybe Trump should have reasons."
While operations are coordinated at a members-only, private beach club β in between fundraisers and parties.
They can be funny at times but wow tonight is ... unworthyβ¦
They are so adorable and perfect how did they find them both
Also, watching the players try to deliver their lines with any semblance of timing has me realizing that heated rivalry is a fantasy in more ways than one: its taciturn yet expressive heartthrobs are far more literate than their irl counterparts.
If the dumbass menβs hockey players are on this show and Hudson Williams is not I shall riot
The idea that the US is Israel's puppet state is really dumb antisemitism, like it's unironically the ZOG conspiracy theory
It's the other way around. The US needs Israel as a strategically placed ally in the MENA region. It creates leverage that Israel uses to make demands, but the US is boss here
meanwhile, war rages on at home.
I canβt recall another politician ever expressing this direct of a sentiment before. (depressing! itβs so simple!) itβs difficult to explain how it feels to wake up and find your country is bombing the place your family grew up. again
We are at war for no good reason because we created a presidency with unbounded war powers and then elected a madman to it www.vox.com/politics/481...
Itβs the yearning!!
Yup. People are so eager to be antisemitic about it even tho it plays right into the fascistsβ hands
If you want to be a good ally to your Jewish friends, just gently correct the second statement when you hear it (and you will!) Easy peasy.
Iβve said it before and Iβll say it again: βIsrael is doing great evilβ is not antisemitic. βIsrael is pulling the levers on all the worldβs evilβ is both antisemitic and also passing the buck on how bad the US is, and our role now and historically.
Once again: it is entirely possible, quite easy even, to be opposed to Israel and it's actions WITHOUT being a raging antisemite.
Look where so many people falling for the excuse that βit was only locker room talkβ has gotten us.
I'm already sick of "It's all a distraction from Epstein" replies. This regime is killing innocent people because our leaders are all power-hungry tyrants and war profiteers. When you say it's "just a distraction" you minimize the gravity of what's happening and the lives lost.
Would love to wake up some time and not read the news that we are bombing another country bc our mad king is restless
Once again our first thoughts should be of human cost of conflict in Middle East, price paid and risks incurred by innocents.
Honestly theyβre generally pretty good. Even Katzβs. PJ Bernstein on the upper east side, pastrami queen, and ofc Barney greengrass and Russ and daughters
Imo what is happening on x is that the algorithm loves racist and anti semitic content, and the people who are on there marinate in it all day, and the epstein files has offered an excuse for even left identified people to indulge in the trangressive pleasure of public bigotry as a little treat
imo the threat posed by CBS News and CNN getting absorbed by pro-regime billionaires isn't that they're going to produce right-wing slop that convinces people to be right-wing, it's the dismantling of newsrooms capable of doing investigative reporting on the administration. Fewer eyes on the street.
I humbly invite Jesse Singal to go to Kansas and lie down in a road next to a DMV www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...
Apparently Kansas isnβt just changing the policy on driving license gender markers but also invalidating existing licenses granted under the policy theyβre changing? WTF?
It's only a matter of time before this goes national. Your institutions will not save you.
