"I don't do politics" Because the news upsets me. Because I'm trying to "keep things positive!" Because it's bad for my mental health. Because I don't have time. Because I don't have energy. Because I don't want to offend you. Because it doesn't affect me. Because I have enough on my plate. Because I can see them coming, outside my window, I can see them coming, but they're not coming for me. Alex Dawson

UNICEF warned that the war was becoming “catastrophic” for children. In a social media post, the U.N. agency said that since the conflict began on Feb. 28, “More than 1,100 children have been reported injured or killed in the violence.” That number included deaths in Iran, Lebanon, Israel and Kuwait, the agency said. Across the region, it said, children are facing disruptions including dislocation, closure of schools and lack of access to medical facilities.

Our government keeps telling us America can't afford universal health care or expanding Medicare for ALL. There's a reason for that.🗽

Writing tip #7: When, during the course of research, you come across a story that is central to the theme of your book, go ahead and write 2-3 pages about it. If you do this consistently, you’ll accumulate building blocks for the book. You’ll eventually find a place for each one.

I "talk" with my sources ... they respond when I write.
"War is mankind's most tragic and stupid folly; to seek or advise its deliberate provocation is a black crime against all men. Though you follow the trade of the warrior, you do so in the spirit of Washington -- not of Genghis Khan. For Americans, only threat to our way of life justifies resort to conflict." Graduation Exercises at the United States Military Academy, 6/3/47 "Possibly my hatred of war blinds me so that I cannot comprehend the arguments they adduce. But, in my opinion, there is no such thing as a preventive war. Although this suggestion is repeatedly made, none has yet explained how war prevents war. Worse than this, no one has been able to explain away the fact that war creates the conditions that beget war."

Was browsing the Eisenhower Library site this morning trying to find a quote I remembered.
President Eisenhower, WW2 military hero:
“In my opinion, there is no such thing as a preventive war… none has yet explained how war prevents war.”
Hegseth and Stephen Miller ridiculed "rules of engagement" and vowed this war won't be "politically correct." Now it looks like we may have bombed an elementary school. Hegseth/Miller's certainty that their version of "strength" would have support is imploding. 3/

We have to remember that many xtians think this is end of days stuff and Jews who do not convert will be slaughtered - then Jesus comes back - or something like that.
"You're right, my answer was based on outdated information. My bad! I sincerely apologize for targeting hundreds of children, and hope you'll forgive me for the error. Upon further research, I have identified another epic target and launched missiles at the coordinates 33°48'45.9"N 117°55'08.4"W."
Adam Johnson: I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.
Iranians have a "misguided religion", says a man who helped facilitate the transport of five red heifers from Texas to Tel Aviv because many evangelical Christians believe a red cow needs to be sacrificed to usher in the End Times.
An essential perspective.
Wow. Using “domestic terrorism“ as a way to grab more people than ”domestic terrorist” would.
Do we really need to incentivize election fraud?
Some of jamokes on the bench are serious Catholics. Glad to see them called upon to observe what they think they believe.
