WATCH — @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “Every dollar we spend bombing people in the Middle East is one we’re not spending here at home. We’re always told we don’t have enough money for schools or healthcare or for veterans, but there’s always enough to bomb people on the other side of the world.”
Well would you look at that
Very strong statement from the First Lady of Iraq:
When your Epstein distraction kills Americans an you do not care .
BREAKING: New York City reports the lowest levels of shootings, shooting victims, and murders ever recorded for the first two months of a year. Major crime is down nearly 8% citywide, burglary hit a record low, and retail theft dropped 25%
Thou shalt put Donald Trump on trial for war crimes.
Rubio Today: It’s false to say I said the U.S. had to attack because Israel was going to attack. That’s not what I said.
Rubio Yesterday: We knew Israel was going to strike Iran, and that would trigger attacks on U.S. forces. If we didn’t act first, Americans would suffer higher casualties.
Anders Åslund's analysis is simple, straightforward and correct.
Iran was not going to attack the USA. There was no imminent threat. They will not even bother to prove one, because what are you going to do about it?
'America Has Already Lost the War in Iran'

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953
Democrats should say that Trump’s attacks on Iran are unconstitutional.
The American people do not want a war in Iran. The Congress did not authorize a war in Iran. It is an entirely illegitimate action that has no legal or constitutional basis. It is the act of a lawless regime.
The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.
Boycott OpenAI! OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, announced Friday that the company reached an agreement with the Department of Defense to deploy its AI models on a classified network just hours after Trump ordered federal agencies to phase out rival Anthropic.
“I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity.”

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive
The people have the power.
Adolf Hitler's rise to power was marked by early warning signs that went ignored. Politicians dismissed the alarm bells and institutions believed the system would restrain what was coming. History shows clearly just how wrong those assumptions were.
The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.
$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

A tweet from Acyn about RFK Jr. and Kid Rock promoting an HHS initiative encouraging healthy eating and exercise, comparing it to Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” campaign. The screenshot shows a CNN segment with a graphic reading “Eat Healthy” and “Get Active.”
Gee, I wonder why they went after Michelle Obama so hard on this?
Mercury was only 50 arcminutes (0.8°) above a very young waxing crescent Moon this evening. KAS member Pete Mumbower captured this image from his home in Vicksburg, MI.
Absolutely amazing!
Wow.
"At no point did ICE give any kind of warning, order, or instruction — not even a verbal 'back up' — before pepper spraying me."
We just submitted this sworn declaration and over 80 other stories as part of our lawsuit defending people protesting and documenting ICE abuses in Minnesota.
There are concentration camps in the USA. People are being disappeared. One facility has 3,500 people, most of them children.
Now, what are we going to do about it?!
