Sierra Nevada mountains just north of LA, CA, USA. Jagged snow covered peaks rise above green trees and a yellowish plain. A small blue lake peeks around a bend.

I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.
Oh, and as my teenage son often said to me: you be you!!
At least the State Department had a great plan in place to evacuate all the Americans from the Middle East who are trying to leave.
Wow. The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem tells Americans they’re on their own.
If every person who has attempted or plans to attend a No Kings March votes Blue in the midterm election Congress can be retaken. Think about what this simple act can accomplish. Be sure you double check that you are registered to vote well in advance. This is a very patriotic act .

She is no leader. I agree.
Seems about time to re-up this...
I love that the close captioning system read Ms Gnome 😍
Oh, and more of that please.
wow -- Tillis goes ballistic on Noem, telling her "what we've seen is a disaster under your leadership"
Trump lied about the state of Iran’s nuclear and missile programs.
He lied when he said generals said this war would be “easily won.”
He lied when he said he would end forever wars.
I’m sick and tired of politicians sending working class kids to die for a lie.
'The American bombardment of Iran has been launched without explanation, without Congress, without even an attempt to build public support. Above all, it has been launched without a coherent strategy for the Iranian people'

Don't let this get lost in the news deluge: Israel is using the Iran bombing as an excuse to starve Gazans of food, water and medical supplies.
Endless wars won’t make anyone safer or bring anyone justice or freedom. The only true safety is shared safety. The only true freedom is freedom for all.

"Trump was reportedly warned by his top military advisers that Iran could respond to strikes with terror attacks with proxies on US soil."
He "grew frustrated during the planning process to strike Tehran when his generals could not assure him that the risk of US casualties would remain low. "

Trump’s bombing Iran. And where’s Congress?
We should be called back immediately to vote.
Americans deserve to know who is willing to send their kids off to fight more endless wars.
If Trump‘s attack on Iran leads to more terrorism against American targets, we won’t have to worry because Kash Patel has reassigned FBI agents from counterterrorism to Trump‘s mass deportation operation.
Oh wait.
The thing about the U.S. and Israel is that both of their leaders are trying to stay out of prison.
People really struggling with the idea that the Iranian government sucks but we shouldn't be bombing them can both be true, eh?
Still true
How in the world can this world contain him if our own Congress refuses?
Agreed. It’a BS. We want it on the record.
Then what happened?
Anthropic takes the high road. Thank you!
Anthropic, which signed a $200 million contract with the Pentagon in July, wanted assurances that its AI models would not be used for fully autonomous weapons or mass domestic surveillance of Americans. The Pentagon strongly resisted that request.
Please if there is any justice in NYC do not throw this young man away for a snowball at a planned snowball fight event in the city.
Assault on an officer is a bloody felony. And they threw obstruction and disorderly conduct in the mix too.
@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social this is wrong!
