I cannot stress this enough:
Fuck Donald Trump
Kamala and Hillary
Just sitting here thinking about how βbasket of deplorablesβ was way too kind.
Mark Warner: "I saw no intelligence that Iran was on the verge of launching any kind of preemptive strike against the United States. None."
Israel and the US are aiming at conducting at least four days of intense bombing of Iran. The assassination attempt on Ayatollah Ali Khamenei failed, and he was moved to a secure location. His residence & 30 other locations were struck, including presidential & intelligence buildings.
Just woke up to this.
π¨ US and Israel attack Iran.
If indeed, as Trump claims, Iran posed an "imminent threat" to Americans, then there surely is massive evidence to back the claim and rationalize why the US joined Israel, without congressional approval, in this strike/war that is overwhelmingly unpopular with the American people.
Right?
an annoying thing about the discourse around this is gonna be that it's illegal in two separate and distinct ways - illegal under international law for the USA and israel to strike Iran, and illegal under United States law for Trump to order a strike on Iran without congressional authorization.
Take note of all corporate media that parrot Israel's propaganda of "pre-emptive strike." Call it out immediately.
Also, take note of all the Democratic war hawks who tacitly or publicly rationalize this illegal war.
Let's try to learn something, anything, from the disastrous War on Terror.
Clinton: It then got at the end quite unusual because I started being asked about UFOs and a series of questions about Pizzagate. One of the most vile bogus conspiracy theories that was propagated on the internet.

Rosie Perez "Really????? 92% of us knew who she was and she wasn't Trump. Never trust these celebrities #PuertoRicans voted for Trump But I will say this,THE scheme from the white racist progressive left & MAGA to force Biden out of his second terms I knew we would lose and that terrified me.
@kamalaharris.com talked f*cking constantly about the economy. I'm so f*cking sick of revisionists like Rosie Perez trying to rewrite the facts of the 2024 election. Stop trying to rebuild your rapidly dwindling brand by lying to slam @kamalaharris.com.
Thinking of Surya Bonaly this week while watching the backflip return to Olympic ice. She was the first to land it on one blade in Olympic competition in Nagano in 1998. I will never forget how I jumped up and screamed seeing her do it live.
Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."
We are not drifting toward a civil war we are already living inside it.
I wrote about what this moment really is, and why we must document it now: unchainedblackpoet.substack.com/p/we-are-liv...

When the U.S. Supreme Court said that you could detain people based on their race, their accent, or the language they spokeβ¦ there is nothing to preclude ICE from doing that while youβre standing in line getting ready to cast a ballot.

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning
I was sent this video of agents at her door:
βI watched him dieβ¦ then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag dollβ only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they βgotβ, like he was a deer.β
Sending @repilhan.bsky.social sincere admiration tonight.
