Incredible that just 24 hours after this tweet, it's being reported that America is preparing to put boots on the ground in Iran.

‘You are all worse than each other’: anti-regime Iranians turn on Trump Mood among some in Iran shifts from hope of being rescued to dismay at destruction of infrastructure, culture and lives

Iranians turn against Trump who presented himself as their saviour just a month ago.

The U.S. is being terrorized by ICE, not Iran.

We are a nation of 349M, yet one man decided to launch our nation into a reckless, illegal war without congressional authorization or counsel or the support of the American people. He didn’t think he had any duty to sell it or serve the people’s interests. This is why despotic rule is so dangerous.

Ossoff: "When American service members are returning in flag-draped coffins... this White House treats war like a [videogame].

It's a disgrace... it speaks to the moral rot of this administration."

It's a shame this is where we are as a country.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:

Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.

And recognized as such by the US Government.

Please read and share. The “grassroots” support for the SAVE America Act is a lie. The campaign pushing this bill is being run by Cleta Mitchell and Scott Presler, two of the most notorious election deniers in the country.

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.

Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.

The 25th is never happening.

"All the President's Men" was a warning Nearly 50 years later, the film feels less like a triumphant ode to journalism than a warning about media decay.

Righteous Incivility Trumps Silent Defiance | Revolving Door Project Hakeem Jeffries' appeals for decorum-friendly disruption at the State of the Union read more like cowardly acquiescence than stoic defiance.

If the Democrats continue to whisper while Trump shouts, they will find themselves wondering why a public suffering under his authoritarianism remains reluctant to hand them the keys to power.

if you think the greatest threat to effeminate gay boys is the trans movement and not the cis straight men who overwhelmingly exclude and brutalize them then you should walk into the ocean immediately

The Tech ICE Uses To Find You

From facial recognition and location tracking to deciphering encrypted messages, this is the tech that they use. Taken together, these invasive systems form an interconnected surveillance ecosystem unlike anything seen in America before.

Stay Safe.

Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, that’s when you absolutely need to vote.

Ready to make this the biggest midterm turnout in history?

Horrifyingly Kansas has passed a bill that causes DMV to revoke driver’s licenses for trans people, AND a system to allow individuals to sue trans people for $1000 if they use the “wrong” public bathroom. This is a sickness. I guess it’s boycott Kansas time.

Corrupt is no longer a strong enough word to describe MAGA and Trump.

Malfeasance is now my choice word to describe how: illegal, dishonest, rotten, vile, fraudulent, corrupt, awful, and perverted they have become.

It's not hyperbole to suggest that today we have a federal government that doesn't so much represent or resemble a federal administration as it does a family crime syndicate.
