BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiar—far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)
I feel like it should be bigger news that Trump is now openly considering a military draft. Young men haven't been called up for a draft since 1972. Not during the Gulf War. Not during Iraq or Afghanistan. He received five draft deferments but is now open to drafting your kids.
BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers.
This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight.

After keeping a few houseplants alive, I decided to attempt food this year. So far, I have seedlings 🌱 of basil, chamomile, spinach, arugula, romaine, cherry & Roma tomatoes, cucumbers, beets, pumpkins, peas, and broccoli! We gotta get the raised beds built soon! 😍 #gardening #garden #greenthumb
This woman should not be a teacher. She should be mad at the government for not adequately paying teachers and staffing schools, not kids for being disabled. We should raise kids to be empathetic humans, not cruel bullies just to fit your bizarre idea of the "real world"

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
They only care about our troops if they are silently falling in line.

Kelly Wilkinson was being abused by her husband.
She tried to go to the police.
They told her to “cool off”.
They suggested she give her husband a “break”.
They accused her of cop shopping.
Her husband stabbed her over 20 times and set her on fire.
The cops were complicit in her murder:
Don't tell me you care about our troops and our veterans if you are going to cheer them to their deaths in another war that never had to happen and after which they will be lucky to get appropriate care if they make it home alive.
Beware of any Christian movement that acts as though the world is full of enemies to be destroyed rather than full of neighbors to be loved.
Rubio says the USA had to attack Iran first because "We knew Israel was going to attack Iran first."
1. That makes zero sense
2.He glazes over that like it's not a violation of international law
Apparently "America First" means breaking international & US Constitutional law for the Israeli Govt.😐
The MAGA who regret voting for Trump, will 100% vote for the next Trump regardless of how much of a racist bigot he is.
They haven't actually learned their lesson. They're just mad they're getting hurt too.
These people didn't vote FOR Trump, they voted AGAINST vulnerable communities.
People who believe in an imminent Rapture/Armageddon don't have anything invested in what happens to you here on Earth. You are irrelevant to them and will be treated accordingly.
The Secretary of War Crimes should have to blow into a breathalyzer to unlock his office door every morning.
I voted! Did you? Sticker
I got out and voted today
Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.
They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.
Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.
Watch how they vote this week.
Here's a thought. If your kids are too scared to talk to you, maybe evaluate yourself as a human and parent instead of trying to legally strong arm them. Just a thought. No school is forcing your kid to change their identity. They're just giving them a safe space to be themselves if you aren't.
Do not look away. They're relying on people being too tired and apathetic to witness their crimes so that they can spin whatever narrative they want and face no consequences. Keep watching them. Keep calling them out. Do not give them a moment of peace.

It would be nice if we had a Secretary of Defense who knew what he was doing and not one that just regurgitates quotes from action movies
Iran signed and ratified the nuclear nonproliferation treaty in 1970. It does not have nuclear weapons and there is no evidence it has nuclear weapons.
Israel refuses to sign the NPT. It has 200 secret nuclear weapons. It bans independent UN inspections.
So to keep the world safe, USA bombs Iran.🤔

A little coffee and reading to finish the weekend
Three U.S. service members should be alive this morning and three families shouldn't be receiving a personal visit by military officers informing them their loved one has been killed in a military operation that wasn't authorized by Congress.
First they overturned Roe v Wade.
Then they started arresting women for pregnancy loss.
Refusing care for ectopics & miscarriages.
The response from the right? Don’t get pregnant. Keep your legs closed.
Now Casey Means is attacking birth control.
It was always about control.
If the United States is going to go around the world causing regime changes, we should practice here first.
It's giving...
