Moderate Democrats with columns in newspapers are constantly saying the Democratic Party is way too liberal on "social" issues. Moderate Democratic voters in real life do not feel this way. With some polling data from @gelliottmorris.com and @dataforprogress.org. newrepublic.com/article/2074...
Wounded Knee. Tulsa. My Lai. Abu Ghraib
And now, Minab
We need to talk about the horror when 180 little schoolgirls, boys and teachers were obliterated by U.S. Tomahawk missiles last week. And tell Congress: Not one more dime for these war crimes

Trump tells Times of Israel: The decision to end the war with Iran will be a joint decision in consultation with Netanyahu.
The Iranian Red Crescent has sent a request to the International Criminal Court calling for a criminal investigation based on the US/Israel's systematic attacks against civilians and civilian objects including:

Vance: " If you're worried about the world spinning out of control, if you're worried about a military draft, if you're worried about, God forbid, a world war, the best way to prevent it is to vote for Donald Trump."

It's crunch time. Please vote for the Democratic candidates that can beat the AIPAC, ICE-friendly candidates.
In Michigan Senate race, it's McMorrow > Stevens
In Illinois Senate race, it's Stratton> Krishnamoorthi
*yes, other anti-AIPAC/anti-ICE folks, but these folks can win.
So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right
if you're not watching/listening/reading international news sources, you are not going to appreciate all of the spillover damage the US-Israel attack has been afflicting on folks outside Iran, and even outside the Middle-East. This is of course beyond the horrors in Iran, southern Lebanon, etc.

Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."
"4,000 bombs."

"4,000 civilian buildings in Iran have been damaged."

Cupich: “A real war with real death and real suffering being treated like it’s a video game -it’s sickening. Hundreds of people are dead, mothers and fathers, daughters and sons, including scores of children who made the fatal mistake of going to school that day.” www.archchicago.org/en/statement...
Makes me want to believe in hell. At least for folks like this.
Multiple news outlets are reporting a US attack on an Iranian #desalination plant.
If verified, this violates international law protecting #water systems during wars, and it sets a dangerous precedent, given intense dependence of Gulf countries on desalination.

I am really surprised at how many people were closet admirers of Jesse Jackson (who have now come out of the closet)...Amazing that he didn't win the Democratic nomination when he ran.
Happening now: ~200 protesters have gathered off Chicago's Michigan Avenue this afternoon for another demo condemning U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran and Lebanon.
Israeli airstrikes killed dozens in Lebanon overnight. Thousands of families have been displaced after widespread evacuation orders.
Simple, clear, devastating.
Month-to-date Strait of Hormuz journeys down 92% from February

Unsurprisingly, Trump's immigration crackdown is still not delivering labor market improvements for the US-born
Over the last year, native-born unemployment is up from 4.3% to 4.7% while native-born employment has decreased
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
The reason we have “stupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.
A New York Times investigation indicates that it was a US strike on an Iranian school that killed 175 people, mostly children.
The last photo of third-grader Mikaeil Mirdoraghi, waving to his mom before he left for school. He was killed shortly after in the U.S./Israeli strike on a primary school in Minab.
Hey @chicagotribune.com, might want to check your 9th grade civics textbook, because Presidents don’t “install” cabinet members, they nominate them.
Dictators “install” FFS.
