The US has taken up Israels Genocidal Playbook!
LOOSER RULES? YOU KNOW THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS NO RESPECT FOR RULES OF ENGAGEMENT AT ALL, OR US VETERANS π‘
Netanyahu succeeded in appealing to Trump's vanity & fragile ego to lead him into a long-term, unwinnable war that will lead to many deaths on both sides.

Imagine the reaction in the US if ~175 schoolgirls had been killed by a targeted Iranian missile. (Or anyone's missile.)
This is an atrocity.
Dumber, and also vicious.
See, COVID wasnβt the cause of Trump destroying our economy during his first term. Itβs Trump. Heβs the cause.
Wars tend to slapstick comedy.
My mother told a WWII story about trying to rush into a building to avoid being strafed by a German plane-only to discover that sheβd chosen a revolving door.
This entire fucking war has been a comedy of errors, as far as wars go

I'm STILL livid about this.
Anyone with a heart should be.
That's a fucking war crime.
With all due respect, @rogermarshall.bsky.social, this is a war of aggression started by a largely incoherent, racist sociopath.
This has nothing to do with American freedom, only Trump's hatred's and delusions.
We are tired of sacrificing democracy for this jackass and his grifting.
Ukraine has now helped the US, Israel, and the Gulf states protect civilians from Iranian drone strikes. As a special thank you, the US spoke to Putin and told him he's doing a great job in his invasion of Ukraine and lifted some sanctions on Russia. Great partnership.
Billionaires make up only 0.0003% of the U.S. population.
They made 19% of federal campaign donations in 2024.
THIS is why our politics are broken. We need to get big money out of politics NOW.

Hereβs Brian being fierce!
Railing against Hegsethβs dismissal of βstupid rules of engagement,β Sen. Schatz with Murray, Shaheen, Reed, Warner, Coons, condemned the U.S. strike on an Iranian girlsβ school in Minabβkilling 175, mostly childrenβdemand a full Pentagon probe and transparency, rejecting Trumpβs claim Iran did it.
Trump wants power to grant or remove citizenship personally, to use (as he uses all powers) coercively.
Legendary paleontologist Jack Horner (Chapman), neurologist Mark Tramo (UCLA), and, again, mathematical biologist Martin Nowak (Harvard) are facing consequences for Epstein ties

Storms coming over Hawaii.
Weβre Democrats, so we can expect Trump to refuse emergency assistance. Dammit.

Steve isnβt quite ready for Tuesday. Actuallyβ¦ heβs not really ready for anything.
π¨GOVERNMENT WASTE ALERT:
The Trump Admin bought thousands of cars, including Mustangs, and wrapped them in a tacky design.
Theyβre collecting DUST in storage!
β¦we are well and truly f***** about nowβ¦
Fowler: we believe this was a solid brief with solid arguments made
Judge: solid except for the fabricated quotations?
Weβre lucky for so many reasons, and just now incredibly lucky to be a Democratic state with reps who oppose the present administration. Mazie is fierce!
I love, & miss my native land. Nothing like Hawai'i.
Like the news would close for the nite. "Lucky you live Hawai'i"
That means a lot to me! You can take the girl away from Hawai'i.
You can't take Hawai'i outta the girl. Right?
You're so special. πΊβ€οΈπ«πππππΌ Mahalo.
Thank you.
We knew that this was what it was all about
