Nadia Schadlow, Trump’s former Deputy National Security Adviser, hasn’t read the Constitution
No. American exceptionalism means you can do that kind of thing without consequence.
On the first day of this war, the US bombed a school with almost the same exact death toll as when Timothy McVeigh bombed the daycare center of the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City. And our leaders wonder why Iran doesn't surrender immediately.
2 kids, champion mariachi musicians, went from props to prisoners because that’s what served Rep De La Cruz’s & the Trump regime’s interests. This ICE abuse was kept quiet until TX CD-15 candidate Bobby Pulido & independent journalist, Cecilia Bali brought it to light.
Free the Gámez-Cuéllar family!
So here we are. I’ve now reposted one of the advocates for the war Iraq.
This is an actual Pentagon press release. “An Army believed to be casualty…the believed to be death”
We are not at war with Iran, although we have been for the last 50 years.
Obscenity. Purely obscene.
When we are targeting anyone flying the flag of a foreign country, whether or not they present an immediate threat, that is an act of war whether we are calling it one or not.
You know what else they discuss in CGSOC? War crimes. Ethics. Jus ad AND en bello.
You know who didn’t attend CGSOC?
Today is our 14th birthday.
From making your dad lose his mind, to embarrassing members of Congress and the Presidential cabinet, we can't thank all of you enough for your inability to read past the headline.
We'd be nothing without our readers.
Here's to 14 more.
Simply batshit. The Kurds will follow their own interest while simultaneously playing the US for all the $ they can get (no judgement - it is what they’ve always done, and it is easy)
For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.
These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.
Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35
Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39
Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20
Longer convo to be had here, but seems we’ve bent so far backward in executive deference that we’ve defined ‘war’ out of existence.
over the 2010s we learned that the public was more than happy to ignore about two dozen KIA per year and I remember chatting with TM (not on bsky) that the only time it might make the news was if a soldier met a new way of dying.
“What we did in Venezuela, I think, is the perfect, the perfect scenario,” Mr. Trump said.
no notes.
Be humble. Be teachable. The universe is bigger than your view of the universe. There's always room for a new idea.
I think this does qualify as an exceptional failure in civil-military relations. If asked to do something clearly within the purview of Article I authority, is there not an obligation to check with Congress first?
Given that being in such a predicament in the first place is a sign that things have gone terribly wrong, a wiser set of US military leaders who took their oaths to the Constitution seriously would have already developed a much stronger and more active relationship with Congress than what exists now
TYFYS! Now we need to find the guy who excoriated Fever under a pseudonym (snowflakes abound).
Writing an article under a pseudonym that parrots the preferences of those in power seemed baffling - like normally reserved for fearful dissidents … but this makes sense. Save the rag further embarrassment.
10/ "Our country turned out to be not the strongest, or even powerful, but weak—in military matters, in governance, in technology, in diplomacy, and in information.
There’s a personality type that enjoys jumping up on command.
“Military operations look quick and easy — right until they are not,” said @jkdemp.bsky.social. “What we did in Venezuela was such a unique operation, and a one-off. And even that — I’m not sure it will turn out fine.”

Black-and-white photo of a group of uniformed soldiers standing outdoors in winter clothing and helmets, gathered around a small fire on the ground. Several hold stacks of papers and books, with loose pages visible as some are being dropped into the flames. The fire sits in front of a stone building entrance with round lamps on either side. A few onlookers stand behind the soldiers near the doorway. Snow or light-colored ground is visible underfoot.
On Feb. 19, 1942, German soldiers marched through Winnipeg.
The mayor, premier and Lt. Governor were arrested, and the city was renamed Himmlerstadt. Books were burned, and the German flag flew across the city.
This is the story of Winnipeg's If Day.
