This bombing campaign against Iran is illegal, immoral and unjustified. Legions of people will die because this demented narcissist ripped up the nuclear inspection framework President Obama crafted with Iran and the world community to contain the danger these lunatics now use as a pretext for war.

The level of panic and desperate flailing in this Regime has ratcheted up substantially in the last couple of weeks.

That is so fantastic! TBH, it has been evident for some time from your posts and it's damned impressive.

"Don't choose people who don't choose you."

This advice is strong in my spirit right now.

Can we just hire bros to dress up like "alphas" and pound beers with Kash Patel a few times a week? That would be much cheaper.

I feel bad for all the drag queens in the D.C. metro area this evening who will face a shortage of foundation, concealer and bronzer because a certain cognitively impaired sex pest is making a big TV appearance.

This Regime are the most feckless fascists. As long as they are in power they will continue to do terrible harm and all praise goes to the judges, political leaders and ordinary people who are pushing back and pushing back hard. But my God these racist thugs are worthless losers.

The Rev. Jesse Louis Jackson, 10/8/1941–2/17/2026. The first vote I cast in a presidential election was for Rev. Jackson in the 1988 primary. A force for good committed to the promotion of multiracial democracy, he helped define my understanding of racial justice in politics. I grieve his passing.

One of these men was Geriatric Joffrey’s closest buddy. The other was and is JD Vance’s main patron.

Monsters. A bare plurality of voters in this country elected monsters.

Majority bipartisan opposition in the Senate to the GOP more-ICE bill. The Republican Party is completely incapable of governing.

Call your Senators. Demand not a single penny more to ICE in this bill. Is it enough? No, not remotely. It is what’s on their desk right now and what they are making decisions about right now.

ICE shot this man repeatedly until he was dead while he was on the ground immobile after they had beaten him and already shot him.

I just saw the video of the latest ICE killing of a civilian in Minneapolis. It is an execution. A straight-up execution.

Well. Let’s see how the markets feel about this latest shot-in-the-arm of confidence in the current stewardship of the United States Government.

We will benefit from the experience of post-conflict societies that have undertaken real truth and reconciliation processes, which depend in turn on real criminal accountability for serious perpetrators.

If you are being less bold than Bill Kristol in your resistance to the depredations of ICE then you need to rethink your choices.

Abolish ICE.
