"President Trump could never have backed the Iranians into a corner and they fired off their doomsday weapon as a result"
oh also, don't forget the US violently killed a bunch of his family in front of him. he's probably upset about that. bsky.app/profile/sky....
Reupping, because who couldn't use a heartwarming tale today.
Sure sounds like somebody at DOGE took the Social Security numbers and personal information of every American on record, and put it on a thumb drive to bring home to Elon Musk’s AI company.
The Iranian girls’ school was hit by a US tomahawk cruise missile. NPR has confirmed the footage.
My quibbles aside, this is an interesting paragraph in the Times piece, one that discusses a hard-to-summarize thing in a way that is still helpful in showing how Scriptural debates across Christian divisions can (often, albeit not always) involve very different approaches to reading the same words.
There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase “accused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory “hasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...
One of the things we’re experiencing right now that makes all this worse is narrative rupture. The stories most of us have told ourselves abt this country are (& have been) plainly wrong. In the absence of new stories that reflect actual reality, what we get is stasis.
We are a very stupid country

That would be Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the nation’s top diplomat, who was a member of the United States Senate on January 6, 2021.
American-born children, bishops say, “will be faced with an impossible decision: forever being an underclass citizen, with limited access to the necessities of life, such as healthcare, education, housing, and the right to vote, or being forced to migrate to a country that they have never known …”

This illustrates an imp point that we are trained to ignore in our society: the ways that policies are implemented (or not) determine their impact, rather than the abstract values they purport to embody.
Camp Guards sure seem to think it’s a death camp.
Underground...stations, if you will, perhaps connected to a means of transportation that became popular in the 19th century.
White House tweets out Rubio’s statement seeming to say that basically Bibi maneuvered Trump into attacking Iran.
my tax dollars attacking with missiles more missiles that are somehow also my tax dollars
funding USAID (an agency which Trump and Musk illegally destroyed) cost each individual American taxpayer about $64 annually while saving millions of lives around the world.
instead, we've got:
had a death in the family and was almost completely off the internet for a few days & my observation is that there is too much happening too fast such that basic facts abt the world are difficult to ascertain unless you are mainlining info all the time & doing that seems to drive people insane
As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.
how are poll respondents supposed to say whether they approve or disapprove of a war that was never given any publicly-discernible justification
god fucking dammit
“Conclave” the movie provides a gripping, if fictional, behind-the-scenes look inside the secretive election of a new pope. But last year’s real-life conclave was just as dramatic, with plenty of plot twists, political battles among cardinals and a surprise outcome. https://cnn.it/3MWkY4g
No he hasn't. Stop it.
Using phrases like “freedom is never free” or “that’s just the way it is” to describe American service members killed in action feels dismissive. These lives weren’t slogans or inevitabilities — they were people, and their loss deserves more than a shrug wrapped in a cliché.
No one learned anything from Dubya's war.
in case anyone ever needed confirmation that it's not about building a democratic Iran, it's about collapsing Iran and turning it into a land of rubble that can be bombed every six months
