Teaching: one of the most important jobs in the world, undervalued even by people who benefited from it. ❤️

It was a US strike that killed 165 schoolgirls. Mostly aged 7-12.

While it was likely unintentional, the decision to strike a military target in a densely populated civilian area was not.

Yes, difficult decisions have to be made in war.

I don’t trust this bloodthirsty regime to make good ones.

Many civilisations preceded ours during many millennia and, like those, ours is heading towards extermination.

i think that one of the things that nobody in the mainstream talks about (yes i know we complain about it on here all the time if you think this is the mainstream oh boy) is how successfully politicians have divested themselves of any responsibility for anything at all

Blame Trump, as well as every one of his enablers!

Grubby is putting it mildly!
Vicious thug is more accurate.

National mourning should honor those who serve and sacrifice, not reflect political preference. When fallen service members are overlooked while public figures receive symbolic tributes, it raises painful questions for military families about whose loss truly counts. Respect must never be selective.

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.

Be fair. Maybe not the only one but among those he hangs out with, he's king.

The Constitution is clear: Congress decides on war. When a president uses military force without authorization and Congress stays silent, they are abandoning their role as a co equal branch of government. War is the most serious power our government has. Shame on the U.S. Senate today.

Normal reaction while grieving, no matter how long it lasts.

Not only killed, but murdered, by a failing old pædophile mistakenly promoted beyond his competence.

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.

It is more than disappointing watching the next episode in US failures since WW2, knowing that the result will be another political ulcer which will never heal.

Putin must be so pleased right now. More war and more chaos is exactly what he wants.

Chris Murphy: "It won't be the billionaire children of Donald Trump and his buddies that die. It's going to be the children of middle class and poor families all across this country that are gonna die for a war of choice, a war of vanity, an illegal war."

Fascism is the most inherently unstable political system, almost never outliving the dictator.
