Don't buy the double-speak. It's a war. Trump's not even bothering with the Republican fiction that it isn't.

The weaponization of religion is one of humanity's greatest evils as it's a permission structure for atrocity. And you can believe that the violence of a "second coming" mentality would not just stay in foreign policy. This is a deep and abiding domestic threat too.

Dems really need to start reading G. Elliot Morris and fire their overpaid poll-chasing consultants.

@gelliottmorris.com discusses the challenges of polling and how wording can change many voters' responses and this where they appear to stand on an issue. Important to understand that polling is a tool with caveats rather than political gospel.

I'm always delighted by comedy's clarity in pointing out how phenomenally f***ing stupid everything is, politically speaking. I'm not making light of the war; the stupidity is very real and lethal. Iranians and others are dying. All the more reason for clarity.

Democrats can't give into "war fever." Fetterman aside - he's functionally MAGA at this point - Dems have to remember this war is illegal, immoral, and an excuse to manufacture a domestic emergency to rig or cancel the 2026 elections. Stay on target, guys.

@markjacob.bsky.social cuts to the important heart of the matter: the Iran war is about Trump's claiming absolute power - most dangerously, over life and death - as much as anything else.

Resistance organizations need to mobilize a massive non-violent effort that delivers serious economic consequences to the Regime and the billionaire class if they try to rig or cancel the elections this fall. The regime's various manufactured crises are all about creating legal exception.

Manufactured emergencies donβt do democracy any favors.

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author
I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own governmentβs repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.
I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.
Sahar Delijani said it best:
Important reminder of basic rule-of-law principles from @joycewhitevance.bsky.social and why they matter.

If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social brilliantly summarizes yesterdayβs events and what led to them.
