The 29% approval rating for the Vietnam War was only that bad because the war dragged on and over 60,000 Americans died. There was also a draft and no one agreed that we even belonged there.
Trump’s Iran war is only on day four and it already has less support than Vietnam.
MAGAs may be stupid enough to believe this but real Americans aren’t.
What can you even say? These people deserve their inevitable humiliation and the nation deserves journalists with more self-respect.
You can’t honor the First Amendment alongside Donald Trump, he has spent his presidency making clear that he does not believe in it. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...
"By killing [Khamenei], the US and Israel didn’t just strike Iran’s government. They struck a spiritual leader with transnational religious authority – and created exactly the kind of martyr that galvanizes movements for generations." - fascinating and important piece by Iran scholar Narges Bajoghli
Donald Trump has learned nothing from decades of endless war.
I went to war three times for this country. Working class folks will pay the price of his military adventurism.
Americans are sick of it. I’m sick of it.
I wonder if the future Goldstar families from Felonious Fuckface’s latest violation of our constitution are going to enjoy their McDonald’s meal at our White House as much as the US Boys Olympic Hockey Team did? 😔
Vance is LYING. "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (H.R. 1) signed by Trump on 4 July 2025, introduced major Medicaid funding cuts – est. at ~ billion to over billion over a decade, significantly threatening financial stability of rural hospitals – linked to potential closures of over 300 rural hospitals.
Schiff: I've not missed the State of the Union in the 25 years I've been in Congress, but we have never had a president violate the constitution every day with seeming impunity.
We can't treat this as some new normal, so I'm here boycotting...
Brooklyn forever
I know it's not cool to "love" a congressperson but one can love their consistency, dedication to the Constitution, and acts of courage. Bravo Congressman Green.
Here is Rep. Al Green holding up a sign that according to CNN's Manu Raju said "Black people are not apes” before Steve Scalise pulled it down

On a night when he has the spotlight, you ask lying Republicans on? Cmon!

The kids in Quakertown are still in jail! These kids defended themselves when MAGA chud Police Chief Scott McElree rushed into a crowd of protesters in plainclothes and put a teenage girl in a choke hold with no warning. They've been in jail since Friday and may be kept until Tuesday. Speak up!
People being disappeared.
It’s just as outrageous and un-American now as it was then.
We are not passive bystanders to what's happening. We all have a role in defending our democracy. Let's start by barring law enforcement from wearing masks...
On this Day of Remembrance, we remember a shameful period in our nation's history — the internment of Japanese Americans, including many Washingtonians.
This history is chillingly familiar at a time when we see unmarked vehicles and masked agents picking people up off the streets...
NEW: Major, BFD action by blue states standing up to ICE.
Maryland, on Tuesday, banned local law enforcement from being part of ICE's notorious 287(g) program.
That automatically forces *9* sheriffs out of their ICE contract!
And New Mexico did the same last week:
I think this is paywalled but you can get the gist www.ajc.com/news/2026/02...
It's like ICE is completely ignoring every lesson that moderately competent police forces are forced to learn, like "don't do high speed chases in densely populated areas with low risk targets"
The interior of Kristi Noem’s new billionaire-class luxury jet is complete with two bidets and a wet bar with a wine chiller. It will be purchased on our dime from the slush fund Congress approved in the One Big Beautiful Bill.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
"Folks like to say that no one believed my warnings. I wish that were the case. The hard truth is officials believed them and let the worst happen anyway."
