We cannot eliminate them by actions that magnify hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, discrimination and suffering - only by actions that relieve them.
Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.
Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."
I know that the people who need to read this aren’t here, but here goes:
Rules of engagement aren’t for the enemy. They’re for you. They’re for your soldiers when they’re captured or wounded. They’re for your civilians when they’re in range of the enemy. They’re for your allies, to reassure.
In a defeat for the Trump administration, a federal judge in New York ruled Wednesday that companies that paid tariffs struck down last month by Supreme Court are due refunds.
MAJOR BREAKING: Iran's Revolutionary guard commander has just announced that the Straight of Hormuz is "CLOSED" and that Iran will attack any ship trying to pass.
I expect to see "TRUMP DID THAT" stickers on all gas pumps.
Just saying...
Nobel Peace Prize, my ass
I wrote about what’s at stake - and what we as citizens can do.

Not only *did* they start this war, they have no idea how to finish it.
No rules of engagement is straight up Nazi war fighting.
Reminder:
Crow: "Friday night, Trump filmed this tough video where he talked about the cost of war & how hard it's gonna be & how we're gonna lose troops, then he literally went behind the curtain & hosted a million dollar a plate dinner & dance party at Mar-a-Lago.

Articles of Impeachment.
Don’t bitch about voting when bullshit like this is going on and our electeds aren’t doing a goddamn thing.

BREAKING: IRAN is closing the strait of Hormuz and is turning vessels around according to Reuters.
This is threatening 20% of the world’s oil & LNG flow.
So much for Affordability.
THIS.
People who’ve never served are often the quickest to start dropping bombs without a plan for what’s next.
The American people have seen this play out before and they’re tired of it. Trump is sending our servicemembers into harm’s way without a clear explanation or an end goal.
He’s desperate to find a war.
The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.
In two years all these people clamoring for this war will act like they were always against it, including Donald Trump
