Remember when Congress authorized the use of force against Iran? Me neither. Any U.S. attack on Iran would violate U.S. and international law.

USA has been at war for 232 out of its 250 years of existence. It is the only nation to use atomic weapons. For 93% of its existence the USA has waged war or been in some war or another. And now in year 250 it wages more war. An illegal attack on Iran. And I fear we’ll soon see more atomic weapons.

so great to live in a time when Republicans would rather allow a new and illegal war because they’re embarrassed to admit their President is a paedophile

I'm so depressed I could die. But I won't.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

“If you raise your voice, I’ll erase your voice.”

A reminder how ICE treats priests.

I know this isn't about me but damn is this proverb timely for me in my current situation. I'm currently doing a deep dive into the #deadhorsetheory. 🧐😶

Is anyone seeing this???? Is anyone watching how batshit crazy this whole thing is?????

So Maria Corina Machado believes she must give trump her Nobel Prize so HE can make her president of HER OWN country??? Pathetic. The Nobel Committee should rescind the award.

With all this talk of how to end Russias war against Ukraine, and a cease fire, keep this in mind: If Ukraine ceases firing, Ukraine will cease to exist. If Russia ceases firing. the war will cease to exist. Pretty clear

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

I can’t handle the Truth Social post from Trump about Rob Reiner

Feverishly working on this

Dr Russell D. Moore is a theologian, pastor, and the editor in chief of Christianity Today.

After Marcelo Gomes da Silva was arrested by ICE on his way to volleyball practice in Milford, he made a promise to the men he shared a cell with: He’d be a voice for immigrants unfairly detained. He's one of Boston Globe Magazine’s Bostonians of the Year. trib.al/p9Edy6F

What in the world is going on??

I have been given the shiny and very real War Stopper Award by USA Pickleball because I have stopped so many dozens of wars and whatnot. I am honored that my war stopping has been noticed by the foremost pickleball organization in the world.

Army Spc. Sarah Beckstrom should be alive. Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe should not be in a hospital fighting for his life. There’s no fucking reason for National Guard troops to be in DC. There’s no fucking reason at all. There never has been. Damn Trump. Damn him.

This is awful.

This is fundamentally Nazism. The idea that different peoples than the favored races carry degradation in their very genes, that they cannot strive to become better because biology compels them to be worse. It’s not just repugnant, it’s a bald faced lie.

Had Thanksgiving dinner in a halal Brazilian steakhouse in Florida. God bless Amreeka. No matter how hard the haters try they'll never get rid of us. Also we make their bland ass lives delicious.

I can't stand Trump or the silence of all the people that allows him to continue with this disgraceful behavior! What an absolute moron he is.

Experts say it’s highly unusual for the White House to tell agents to give up custody of potential evidence in an investigation, as it did with the Tates. “I’ve never heard of anything like that in my 30 years working,” an ex-DHS official said.

They've been doing this for decades. The very day their patent expires they start telling you you have to switch to the new time-release version of your regular medication that now costs ten times as much. And people mostly take what their doctors prescribe.

Remember this when some online lefty says the Democrats need more men like Graham Platner. No, they need more men like Mamdani. Mamdani is dominant. Trump knows it.

Donald Trump could have just kept his mouth shut about Jamal Khashoggi. But to smear a dead journalist, while sitting with the person accused of orchestrating his murder is just vile. Every time this administration hits rock bottom, a trap door seems to open. Cretin behavior.

congratulations you played yourself dot gif

At least he was consistent. All the rest that refused to sign the discharge petition and spent months minimizing the scandal at every turn are no better.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

I’ve been thinking and it’s kind of exceptional that not a single person said “Hey now” after the piggy comment.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

This was one of Trump's very worst moments. And that is saying something.

Epstein Scandal is the biggest ongoing political cover up in modern times. Don't let Trump gaslight you. He's all over the files. Also, why is Maxwell in a minimum security camp?

If Joe Biden had an MRI a month ago and we had no idea why it was done or on what body part and he claimed he had no idea about either of those things it would literally be all you heard about in the press but Trump just gets a huge pass b/c reporters treat him differently.

The fact that Megyn Kelly minimized raping 15 year olds and wasn't immediately canceled from every platform, including @siriusxmprog.bsky.social and YouTube, tells you EVERYTHING that is wrong with right wing media and this country in general.

…

Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness. I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.

Quick point of clarification for pundits, politicians, journalists, & any others commenting on the Epstein Trump files: The victims were NOT "young women". They were CHILDREN. As such, they were not capable of giving legal consent. Sex without consent is rape. Words matter. Get them right.

Can we just take a minute and acknowledge that our POTUS is right OUT IN THE OPEN lobbying Congressional members to vote against releasing the Epstein files?! Like... what the fuck else does anyone even need to know?

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

What Democratic voter is excited about the Democratic vote to reopen the government without guarantees on the ACA? Let me know.

Going live in 15 minutes. See you there! www.youtube.com/live/hEi77Ib...

I'm so pissed. King, Shaheen, and Hassan put this together behind our backs. And Kaine, Cortez-Masto, Fetterman, Rosen, and Durbin went along with it.

But these days I’m looking at so much of what alleges to be Christianity in my country and I’m now almost certain that I was wrong about myself all along. Maybe I’m not a Christian after all. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/confession...

This is infuriating. 🤬

Hostage negotiator here. It's an awful decision by the Democrats. They will lose support of a lot of Dem voters. But at least they also set their credibility on fire with Republicans and independents.

This is BRUTAL. Trump LOUDLY BOOED at the Commanders game. America lets him know exactly how they feel — to his face.
