It is still incomprehensible why so many vote for these fascist leaders. Never have they ever delivered for the people.

The harder to exist part is just implied. Instead the media frames gas prices as what people are upset about, without any context.

Using a nuclear weapons in Iran would be horrifically insane.  It would accomplish no tactical goal and would plunge the world's economy into darkness. It would virtually guarantee Russia would use on in Ukraine. any order to use a nuke must be disobeyed.

US power is not based on democratic ideals, but rather on military might.

Who would have guessed that Iran would not just roll over and would fight back?
Everyone.

When I see someone backing in to a parking space I always look to see if it is a man or a woman. Almost 100% of the time it is a man.

US and Israel hawks:  If Iran hits back we must escalate bc they're strong. If Iran doesn't hit back, we must finish the job bc they're weak.  The only constant is more bombs, more killing, more money on their forever war.

Many are pining for a return to "normal" instead of working toward a better future. We are forced to defend systems and programs that didn't work very well, because they are being attacked. Things weren't better before. Why would we want to return to them?

The US ruling class has effectively given up on competing with China and is just trying to loot as much as they from everyone else while the ship sinks.

🀣 I really don't want to be an adversarial relationship with the people who are supposed to be helping me. How can you possibly trust them?

What doesn't kill you gives you a lot of unhealthy coping mechanisms and a really dark sense of humor.

I am NOT a warrior. This is a completely unreasonable expectation. If I don't say I'm hurting, I'm hurting. If I say I'm hurting, I'm in a lot of pain.

Oops will be the DOD's response or blame Iran for having a school near a military target, like the US doesn't have the same. Why no mention of AI's role in choosing the targets? That seems to be a huge thing to overlook.

"Peace on Earth" - Dave Matthews (LIVE on The Late Show) YouTube video by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

In this song by DM, he asks who is the monster?

I know we want peace on Earth
but we got to kill the monster first
everybody wants peace on Earth
everybody wants peace on Earth
but what about the monsters?

This short clip from Arundhati Roy is worth a watch as she puts the war in Iran into a more global perspective.

uh, it's also how patients die. But credit for sure, since most doctors avoid the cost factor like it doesn't exist.

No be angry.  It is 2026, everybody should have everything they need.  Instead of billionaires are trying to take even thee basics from you.  There will be no peace while such evil and greed is in control.

Rumi: You are alive, you have a home, you have a bed, you have food. Be grateful.

People don't need to be told to be grateful.
