We don’t need talkers right now. We need fighters.

And no matter how many times they knock me down, I’ll get back up and fight with you. Every. Single. Time.

The next Night, Maus, and Diary of Anne Frank are all gonna come from Donald Trump's ICE concentration camps.

And MAGA is perfectly okay with that.

Screenshot of an X post by Senator Tom Cotton saying Iran has been an imminent threat to the United States for 47 years and that the president was right to act. Below is a Fox News segment with Cotton speaking while footage labeled β€œU.S. Central Command – Unclassified” shows a strike.

β€œImminent.” You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

A couple things…

The β€œconflictβ€œ in Iran *IS* a war.
It is a war of choice.
It is warfare without conscious.
It was unprovoked.

And I’m sick and tired of people suggesting & implying the only tragedies herein are that US Service Members have died. The people of Iran are innocents in this conflict!

Back around 1990, I went to my first gaming convention - Total ConFusion in Massachusetts. I was a teenager, AD&D 2nd edition was still the hot new thing, and for a kid from little North Smithfield, it seemed like more gamers than I even knew existed were there. Heading out for Total Con XL!

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."
