A group of 15 servicemembers say their commander told them: “Trump has been annointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran that will cause Armageddon.” That’s just one of dozens of similar complaints. Holy shit. WHERE IS THIS STORY IN THE U. S. PRESS?

The whole "war on cars" whining is really the perfect example of, "When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression."
Wake up, people!!!!
The reason we have “stupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.
I did not need that thought in my head 😝
This.
Jimmy Carter never ruled through fear. He did not confuse toughness with strength. He left behind something rarer than dominance: proof that moral courage, persistent service, and quiet humanity outlast any headline.
This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

things Kristi Noem was NOT fired for:
❌ sending masked federal agents to racially profile and snatch people off the street
❌ deliberately trampling on people's constitutional rights, lying and violating the 4th Amendment
❌ letting masked federal agents execute US citizens in the streets & on camera
Is her replacement really any better?
I don’t know what to think. Is “Special Envoy for the The Shield of the Americas” a really lame-ass fake title to soothe her hurt feelings, or is it something even more frightening than what she’s doing now? Like is he going to let her carry around the nuclear football?
"It's unacceptable that some presidents use the fog of war to cover up their failures," said Sánchez.
"He added: "The question is not if we are on the side of the ayatollahs - nobody is.
"The question is whether we are in favour of peace and international legality."

Denmark quietly doing just about everything better than the US
They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice.

Proof that #FebruaryFunk is a thing: I lost 10 pounds in January and gained it all back.

Following a white man to war because you disliked the sound of a black woman laughing will go down in American history as one of the dumbest acts of self-sabotage ever.
Are they f’ing out of their minds? That is beyond insane.
The long-term case for renewables get stronger each time tho, given clean-energy prices keep falling and fossil-fuel volatility remains unchanged. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Today, US & Israeli forces bombed the Gandhi Children’s Hospital in Iran’s capital of Tehran.
Nurses supposedly risked their lives carrying newborns to safety from the rubble.
I’m having trouble finding more reporting about this, but here is at least a blurb from Reuters:
And where do they go?
We the People, in order to form a more perfect Union, set out to insure domestic tranquility, provide for our common defense...and...Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 - Congressional Powers: The Congress shall have Power To declare War... the President has no such power. None.
I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author
I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.
I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.
Sahar Delijani said it best:
I love the very clear direct language though. Being proactive about helping people - what a concept.
