As a personal act of resistance to fascism, lately I consolidated all my vaccination history into a single spreadsheet, then I looked up vaccination recommendations and calculated what shots I was overdue for. Then I scheduled them. It felt really empowering and reassuring.
“He is lying about civilian strikes as audaciously as Vladimir Putin would. Just as he has lied about nearly every aspect of this war of choice,” says Chris Hayes on Donald Trump’s war in Iran.

A quiet contradiction is unfolding in Washington. War with Iran… while cutting pieces of the government machinery that supports those efforts.
That tension deserves a closer look.

UPDATE | American forces across the Middle East continue to endure air raid sirens and explosions as Operation Epic Fury has stretched into its second week.
Here's what's happening at U.S. bases in the region amid the ongoing campaign against Iran.
From Stars and Stripes' Lara Korte:
The very wealthy are sending Americans off to die in another war ... pretty much the way they always do. The cost in lives is just another debit entry on the balance sheet. They just see numbers not people. Same way they fuck us at the grocery stores, the gas pump, etc.

Do you feel as angry as I do watching the President of the United States being a complete submissive to Putin?

Difficult times call for cooperation and dialogue. But our voting system keeps giving total power to parties that only a fraction of voters support.

I like the way some countries have Crisis of Confidence procedures that automatically trigger a vote for new government. WE NEED THAT HERE! We'll never be safe from GOP majority in government.

The industry's lies have essentially stolen a generation’s worth of time that we could have used to transition to cleaner, safer energy sources.
It’s time for accountability.
