Just so we’re keeping track, here are basic questions the Trump Administration can’t answer:
- Are we at war with Iran?
- What is the goal?
- How long will this go on?
- What is the cost?
- Will we put troops on the ground?
This President has no plan. This reckless war needs to end.
1969: “what are we fighting for”…🤨
2026: “are we letting them do this again”

This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped.
State AGs must step in and block it.
Legacy media is failing democracy. Rather than complain, I did something about.
Six years ago I started Democracy Docket from scratch. Now it has more than 400,000 subscribers. But to help protect democracy, it needs to grow and scale. Subscribing now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz
Trump makes the bed.
Trump 💩 the bed.
Trump expects everyone else to clean it.
Not happening.
Seven of the eight defendants in the Harrisburg 7 in 1972: (left to right) Joseph Wenderoth, Rev. Neil McLaughlin, Ted Glock, Elizabeth McAlister, Pakistani journalist Eqbal Ahmad, Anthony Scoblick, and Mary Cain Scoblick. Phillip Berrigan is not pictured. Initially, there were eight defendants (the Harrisburg 8), but the charges were reduced to seven (Harrisburg 7) as the case proceeded. Berrigan and McAlister were convicted only on minor charges of smuggling letters. Photo credit: AP.
In 1972, while serving as the head of the reference department at Bucknell University, Horn was subpoenaed to testify in the trial of the “Harrisburg Seven,” a group of anti-war activists. The group, which included priest Philip Berrigan, was accused of plotting to kidnap Henry Kissinger. /4
Librarian Zoia Horn leaves the Federal building in Harrisburg, Pa., after refusing to answer questions in the trial of seven anti-war activists in an alleged bomb-kidnap conspiracy, Feb. 28, 1972. Even though Horn was granted immunity, she still refused to testify. Photo credit: Paul Vathis / AP /Alamy.
Horn refused to testify or disclose library usage records, citing her ethical duty to protect the privacy of library patrons. She was held in contempt of court and spent nearly three weeks in jail. She argued that government spying in libraries “inhibits and destroys” freedom of thought. /5

Zoia Horn was born on this day in 1918 in Odesa, Ukraine. She was a librarian and activist who was jailed for refusing to share information as a matter of conscience. Throughout her life, she was a staunch defender of intellectual freedom and patron privacy. /1
Once again—New Mexico is leading the way by protecting free and fair elections! NM becomes the first state in the nation to ban armed federal agents at the ballot box. This is how you do it! 🗳️🇺🇸💪
The difference between Carr and say, the Nazis, is that they were an ocean away and he has been empowered by a First Amendment-hating president to gut our fundamental freedoms right now, right here.

Is America an empire?
That depends on whether you're assessing its actions around the world since at least 1945...or you're just going off vibes
Genocide as a business model
While Palestinians were being slaughtered, maimed & dismembered, Israel was testing new weapons & surveillance tech, which they later sold worldwide, promoting their wares as having been "battle tested!"
Treated as cattle, their hides sold.
Feels like every single Democratic official should be loudly pointing out that the president is a dementia-ravaged thug who needs to be impeached and removed from office, even if just to cover their own asses for when he inevitably tries to nuke the Oscar ceremony or whatever.
If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.
Imagine if Trump said he was murdering the Christian or Jewish citizens of another country “for fun.”
Pete Hegseth's recent statement that "no quarter" be given to Iranians (clearly against the Hague Convention/international law) is exactly why 6 congress members needed to remind US military members of the Uniform Code of Military Justice and the need to refuse to obey any and all unlawful orders.
The notion that a bunch of committed racists didn't understand the racism they were doing when racism is the sole reason they were interested in doing it is wild to me
The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.
A truly extraordinary moment.
We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
Act like it.

I cannot adequately explain how fucked up the World Cup situation is wihen the president of a host nation *threatens the safety* of one of the participants (Iran).
The USA should be removed as a host nation and if it's not, the games shoud be boycotted and ANYONE WITH A MORAL CENTER should see that.
At any other time in history; this would be news-worthy.
EPSTEIN TRIALS NOW
The fascist Republican cult deliberately start wars, increase unemployment and inflation, crash the economy, violate the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, break every law in the book, add to the national debt and the lives of every US citizen. They are America’s Taliban.
And anyone from members of congress to the foot soldiers on the ground who tried to violently steal our right to self-determination, upon which all other rights in this country hinge.
The people who were supposed to do this didn’t see enough political or personal benefit for them.

What a disappointment for Dems - your constituents!
Surely this POS is retiring in '28?!
The deposition videos are indeed back up

Inside the Department of War are two wolves:
"We've shut down the Colleges of War because book learnings are woke, gay, and irrelevant to war fighting."
"How come no one told us the Strait is important, there are different kinds of Kurds, Iran is big, and air power historically doesn't win wars?"
