No administration in modern history has been more hostile to the First Amendment than Trump's.

Sounds like the kind of jury that would acquit a kid who killed peaceful protesters in cold blood.

Pentagon Is Moving Additional Marines, Warships to the Middle East The Pentagon is moving additional Marines and warships to the Middle East as Iran steps up its attacks on the Strait of Hormuz, according to three U.S. officials. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ap...

Trump does not have the authority to start a war in Iran. And yet, he’s moving in the direction of committing ground troops.

If Republicans in Congress do not want to serve their constituents or their constitutional duty, they should just resign.

Trump has shredded the Constitution. He's taken an axe to checks and balances. He's using the presidency to line his own pockets. This is why we need to make sure that on March 28 — two weeks from today— we march across America in the largest demonstration in the nation’s history. NoKings.org

Trump is a wheeler-dealer. There’s no one he won’t sell out for a reprieve from bad publicity.

I don’t see a way out of this. Taking the Strait of Hormuz or seizing Kharg island will result in considerable loss of life. We can’t exactly apologize because we killed the Ayatollah. I doubt anyone besides Israel is gonna help us. This is a disaster.

Trump is celebrating our 250th year of independence from the British by begging the Royal Navy and others to save his sorry fat ass, something the US Navy can’t or won’t do.

That's funny, I could have sworn he said something about not needing Royal Navy vessels because the war was already won.

Nobel Prize in Literature 1993 The Nobel Prize in Literature 1993 was awarded to Toni Morrison "who in novels characterized by visionary force and poetic import, gives life to an essential aspect of American reality"

"there will be more of the language of surveillance disguised as research; of politics and history calculated to render the suffering of millions mute; arrogant pseudo-empirical language crafted to lock creative people into cages of inferiority and hopelessness"

Prayer hoping that innocent citizens in the mideast and here who hate their leaders stay safe and that the war mongering leaders one day experience real justice for all the suffering and death they are causing.

If Israel is serious about stopping the current wave of antisemitism, then I would suggest it first stop murdering Palestinian women and children. I am not antisemitic, I am anti-Netanyahu.

Sorry to get political again on the silly Nintendo fangirl account but hey gang: when do we start really worrying about this shit. Are we there yet? Feels like we are there.

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.

So, um, what exactly are they saying here? Because if it's what it sounds like, it's pretty much contrary to everything I was taught about the American ethos.
