A journalist at a mainstream news outlet would likely lose their job for posting this related to a GOP mayor.

War is a terrible and disgusting thing. Waging it by choice rather than by absolute last resort is reprehensible. May God forgive us.

We invades Iraq my senior year of high school and I was dumb kid from small town Missouri and even I knew the public comments on why were fucking bullshit. I'm 41 and we're back to screaming "maybe nukes!" and bombing people and it remains fucking bullshit with a huge body count.

The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.

who could have seen AI become weaponized by a corrupt government, except for literally everyone, as well as decades of science fiction

*protecting your personal peace* is not the important thing when your country is murdering people across the world. please be serious.

Maralago is Versailles

The cool thing is that the US seeking regime change in the middle east is something that has worked out every time with no blowback or unintended consequences ever.

Iraq War veteran Sen. Ruben Gallego warns against war in Iran: “I lost friends in Iraq to an illegal war. Young working-class kids should not pay the ultimate price for regime change and a war that hasn’t been explained or justified to the American people.”

If we had to go to war, which we didn't, I'd feel a lot better if there weren't nothing but posers in charge. Trump. Hegseth. Gabbard. Not to mention, he gutted the military of most of its senior leaders. Oh, and Israel's first strike was against a school. At least 26 kids dead. Way to end a regime.

This is a moment that calls for courage. The courage to break this cycle of impunity. There is no turning the page on this era. It must end with prosecutions. Full statement on Trump's crime against peace:

Two categories of analysts who might take a step back, away from the microphone or keyboard, this weekend: —Those who assured us that Trump was the real anti-war candidate. —Those who assured us that invading Iraq was necessary and would work out great.

I am sure JD Vance will resign in protest, right?

Sam Altman picked a hell of a day to basically urge the world to trust the morality and legal restraint of the Department of Defense

@mattortega.com needs to win his race.

I think I’ve discovered a discrepancy between what Donald Trump says, and what he does, but double checking my analysis before posting.

President Trump fully acknowledging that this is a “war” and that American lives “may be lost.” All done against our Constitution, against the will of the American people, and without Congress’ approval.

How fitting that this illegal war was launched from the U.S.S. Gerald Ford, named for the man who launched the travesty that American presidents are above the law

there are a lot of people working in the government right now who want to intentionally trigger an apocalypse to create the conditions for the return of jesus christ and I know how crazy that sounds but its absolutely true

Sleeping

good day to slap the shit out of anyone who contended Trump was a dove who’d keep us out of pointless wars in the Middle East

These attacks are illegal, insane, and immoral. The power to declare war lies with Congress and they must act to block this immediately.

Fair to say it is the FIFA Aggressive War Prize.

"Your daughter is dead. Now rise up against your government. You're welcome."

Trump has launched an illegal regime change war in Iran with American lives at risk. Congress must convene on Monday to vote on Rep. Thomas Massie & my WPR to stop this. Every member of Congress should go on record this weekend on how they will vote.

that top DOD officials spent the entire day feuding with a tech company and the boy scouts before launching a war in the middle of the night should probably inform your opinion about how well planned and executed this will be

Hegseth has a long history of not only calling for war with Iran, but for thirsting over destroying cultural heritage sites. He sees the US military as a flaming sword for Jesus…and now he’s in charge of it. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox...

The lack of consequences for Caribbean boat murders and the operation against Venezuela brought us to this point. Trump pushed the envelope and paid no price for it. (In fact, elected officials and the press were mesmerized by the Maduro raid.) Many of us said this would happen and it did.

As Anthropic and OpenAI take opposite positions on the responsible uses of AI, keep in mind that Dario Amodei is an actual scientist with a Ph.D. in biophysics from Princeton, where he focused on electrophysiology of neural circuits. Sam Altman is a high school-educated computer software salesman.

come on people like the existence of a Dario in this universe didn’t always strongly imply the existence of a Wario. it was right in front of us the entire time.

Shes still coming to South Jersey!

Two things are true: Dont be buddies with Trump. Never trust centrists- their critiques are bad faith.

...of murdering innocent people in the streets and terrorizing communities throughout the nation.

Once again, reactionary centrist advice boils down to "don't make the argument," - at best. Often it's pile onto the argument the opposition makes it politer terms. Politics 101: Run against your opposition not the people your opposition shames/blames/scapegoats.

Moderates wanted to do a switcheroo bc they were mad Biden did full employment and didn’t hate poor families whose kids went to college. And the mods got to own what happen when a candidate listen to the elites and tacks right in the general election. It was a bad outcome.

LET THEM EAT LIVER!

You don't have to love Democrats to know we have to vote every Republican out. "DHS didn’t respond to questions about the emergency calls."

70% of voters say the Dem Party is too weak 40% say it is too progressive So why is the money & energy in Dem spaces so tilted 2 moderation? Why is every "smart" analysis about how the party has been taken over by "groups"? How does that win over the 70%? www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d...

The other interpretation of this article is that Democrats already won the comparative moderation fight vs the Republicans (take the W! things looked bad in '24!) and need to focus on their new weakness. This is why people who make their millions by selling ideo moderation are so angry at alt voices

The reality here is that universities would love to hire visible and capable conservative scholars. That they have to create separate centers, and then hire people who would never make it in an open search, underlines the fact that its not anti-conservative bias, its a lack of strong candidates.

This judge was obnoxious on a student debt case but I am glad he is decent here.

It’s a White House cover-up.

If Trump wanted to be a real patriot, he would resign.

This is the reward Columbia got for their early capitulation to Trump. Please remember: Bullies never get tired of bullying you, and the weaker you appear, the more they will attack, because they prey on the most vulnerable. The only path that makes sense for Universities is collective resistance!
