If only there was another war I could think of in recent memory involving the US in the Middle East, where regime change was promised, didn’t happen, victory was declared and then the whole thing was repeated catastrophically badly at a later date. πŸ€”

The problem isn't voter fraud, it's the frauds we're told to vote for.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

Trump vies for Bush’s crown for worst foreign policy decision in history The US president upended half a century of US foreign policy in an eight-minute video with another act of Middle Eastern regime change

🚨At least Bush tried to make a case to justify his invasion – mendacious as it was – and tried to convince the UN of its merits. Trump did not even bother. He amassed a huge β€œarmada” in the Middle East with little explanation to Congress or the public. | The Guardian

The President who demanded a Nobel Peace Prize for himself sure gave up negotiations quickly to start a war with Iran.

What a disaster, Americans don't want another war in the middle east.

I think we need to take a step back and acknowledge the absurdity of House Republicans targeting their Epstein investigation on HILLARY CLINTON (who says she never met him!) while ignoring DONALD TRUMP (who Epstein described as his best friend!)

These are not serious people or good faith actors.

Five years on, the right’s Covid narrative has been turbo-charged into the mainstream | Laura Spinney Before the next outbreak, we need a serious conversation about how to cope – but first, the more strident, misguided voices must pipe down, says author Laura Spinney

Covid, 5 years on:
"The mRNA vaccines prevented millions of deaths. [...] Masks worked. And as with every pandemic in recent history, subsequent reviews have found that the advice to go early and hard with containment was correct."

I'm old enough to remember when polio ripped through the globe and put my friends into iron lungs.

We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives.

RFK Jr. is a disgrace.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Trump is Europe’s best enemy yet Lack of a common foe enfeebled Europe β€” but not any more

Trump is Europe’s best enemy yet. First Brexit unified the citizens of Europe. Then Putin usurped the role of β€œEurope’s enemy-in-chief, and helped advance European unity… But Trump is the best enemy yet.” It is as β€œif a TV writer’s room designed the perfect villain”
