NEW: The Iranian drone strike that killed 6 U.S. troops in Kuwait at the start of the war was far more devastating than previously disclosed.
Dozens suffered traumatic brain injuries, burns, and shrapnel wounds. At least one required an amputation. More than 30 remain hospitalized. (CBS News)
Imagine how different everything would be had the U.S. enthusiastically embraced renewable energy back when Carter put solar panels on the White House or when James Hansen first testified about climate change before Congress in 1988. For one thing, over 150
Iranian schoolgirls would still be alive.
Just a reminder that Iran did not always have this government, they had a socialist government and in 1953 the US overthrew it to protect the profits of BP oil, that is what fascists do and they are still doing it. What the US is doing today with Israel will only weaken the globe.
We needed to start a war to avoid a war.
Yes.
ICE agents don't get to carve out a First Amendment exception for themselves.
“…real failure is that the richest & most powerful nation in world — nation that has led the world since WW II & established the postwar international order emphasizing multilateralism, democracy, human rights, & rule of law — is now being led by a rogue president who rejects all these values.”

Vladimir Putin’s administration has endorsed a plan to bolster the prime minister’s party by flooding social media with messages designed in Russia and posted by influential Hungarians. ft.trib.al/fT6SXiG
This will allow Putin, his boss, to recover Russia’s only income to renew his artillery supply.
Oh just a repercussion of his war that we will pay for.
Why, indeed????
Its treason every day with these people and we do nothing about it…
This is by design. The goal is a more rigid patriot act.
As a congressman, Markwayne Mullin made not one but two solo trips to Afghanistan, ignoring State Department warnings so he could play action hero.
He’s a former amateur MMA fighter, not a veteran.
If he’d been captured or injured, American troops would’ve had to risk their lives to bail him out.
Trump is destroying public education,making it impossible to get student loans, discouraging higher education. They want a feudal system of elites 1% , AI unregulated and worker bees. We will lose the ability to learn history, the humanities and develop critical thinking. Just the way they want it.
There are protests by Israelis in Israel against Netenyahu but they are suppressed.
And by theocracies, I include our own Christian nationalist theocratic movement.
They should protest Netanyahu.
Just like we are protesting Trump. Both of our countries are being destroyed by their “leadership”. I support the freedom of any Jew to express their religious beliefs, just the way I support all others to do same. I do not support dictatorship theocracies.
This is clearly fine with the GOP.
“Hell no, we won’t go” was the mantra 🕉️ f young people drafted into the Vietnam War.
This may not be a popular or patriotic take, but I wonder if our troops are being forced to fight a war they know is morally wrong, illegal, unconstitutional. And it is all of those. This goes to the generals and commanders as well. I sure as hell wouldn’t risk my life for the Psychopath In Charge.
"Yes, building less dangerous cars and more forgiving roads would help address the US’s sky-high tally of roadway fatalities. But another way to save lives deserves far more attention than it gets: Stop forcing Americans to drive so much." @davidzipper.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"
Thank you @dennisgoris.bsky.social
Now WE CALL IT "Excursions"
ALL INCLUSIVE.
COST: $BILLIONS
We didn't join WWII until Japan bombed our base in Hawaii...long after Germany began encroaching on Europe. It's a ridiculous statement. We have not "won". We just made a lot of noise and killed women and children as "collateral damage". Iranian citizens are not "enemies", they are human lives.
Go green and paralyze the oil producers.
2003: Bush struts onto an aircraft carrier to declare "Mission Accomplished" in Iraq.
Reality check: the war lasted 8 more years.
4,400+ U.S. soldiers died.
2026: trump says the Iran war is “almost over.”
Must be nice to confuse a podium for a finish line while other people do the dying.
The Trump administration’s “Save” voter purge system—an underreported centerpiece of the GOP’s so-called “Save America Act”—relies on data from SSA’s “Numident” file, which was allegedly compromised by DOGE. Thread. #NoOnSave #ProtetOurVotes
This was my second visit to the ICE facility in Baltimore. Each time, it made the hair stand up on my arms.
The conditions are inhumane, and the treatment of people is unacceptable.
Instead of lowering gas prices, this Administration chooses to spend its time on this CRUELTY.
Part of the Christian nationalists rationale for Holy war.
