I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author
I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.
I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.
Sahar Delijani said it best:
Find people who are ready to form up and throw down when you need them.

"When presidents ask the country to support a war, honesty is not optional. It is owed, in part because the people who bear the true costs are almost never the people who made the choice", writes Jamil Smith in "The Guardian" www.theguardian.com/commentisfre....
Empire relies upon a fundamental imbalance of power that inevitably leads to abuse. No one nation should have so much power that it can unilaterally decide the fates of other nations or the people who live there.
Thinking about Said as people recycle the same arguments for American militarism they've made before. "Superpower" is a euphemism for empire. There are no "good" empires whatever the motives, actions or outcomes involved. Might does not make right. It never has.

This is going to be the stupidest war in years theconversation.com/iraq-wars-af...
He went into this war because bibi and mbs asked him to and the hawks around him said it would make his many problems (economy / polling / Epstein) go away. Bibi probably has kompromat on him. MBS also probably has kompromat (bonesaw incident). Sad.
I had a family member (a Republican) say to me yesterday that the price of flights might go up because of “the conflict in the Middle East” and I’m just thinking…the conflict we started for no apparent reason???
Guys. He's a thief. That's it. He wants to sell their oil and take bribes, etc. He's nothing but a greedy thief. Stop reading anything more into it. Although I will add that he is always looking for ocean front property to "build" on.
Hardly any surprise that Iran would be more anti-American after being bombed mercilessly and reckless of schoolchildren and civilians, an ecological atrocity near Tehran and mass destruction of their homes and offices by Israel and the US.
Putin: How is it going?
Trump: Not so good. Thought this war would be over in days.
Putin: Tell me about it.
Trump: Ground troops? The price of oil.
Putin: This war will put you in history with FDR. You going to let the price of oil spoil your war.
Trump: Thanks Vladimir. I needed pep talk.
Keep Bringing the War Powers Vote up Until MAGA feels the Pressure to do their fucking Job?

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."
Roberts Courts legacy is to make it harder for ordinary people to engage in the most basic form of participation (voting), for that participation to matter (letting gerrymandering stand), while removing any constraints from billionaire influence on politics

NEW: Bipartisan group of current & former Members of Congress ask appeals court to UPHOLD the dismissal of criminal case against James Comey
They argue Trump Admin is unlawfully appointing US Attorneys .. and seizing Congress's power
Killing not just an adversary's supreme leader, but most of the other people who you might want to succeed him, should be a Marx Brothers military satire plot, not what the president of the United States just did.
