"The United States government made a promise over 13 years ago... Straightforward, a promise."

Despite keeping their end of the bargain, Dreamers are now being swept up in this administration's mass deportation campaign.

Watch Sen. @padilla.senate.gov’s remarks on the government's broken promise.

It’s not climate disaster or plagues.

It’s β€œAND”…

Take a look at mozzie and tick-borne diseases…

Flood associated diseases…

Diseases that impact the heart and lungs… that will bite harder if you’ve been breathing in smoke from bushfires…

I’m not arguing with you about Israel & Hamas. I’m arguing with you about whether the US military targeted a girls school for the fuck of it, which even under Hagueseth, I don’t think they did.

No; but Israel’s perspective is they’re at war w Hamas. That leads to toleration of civcas incidental to defeating Hamas. They’re not killing kids for shits & giggles; and I doubt US or Israeli personnel said, β€œ ooh, a girls’ school! Let’s get β€˜em!”

Don’t get me wrong: the other shit is horrifying. It’s just that it’s not waking up & saying β€œbwahaha, I will now kill kids.” It’s accepting massive civcas in one case, b/c of Oct 7 & previous rocket attacks; and in the other, callous disregard & cognitive dissonance.

Killing children isn’t a mil or pol objective. Telling your cultists you cut a β€˜corrupt’ program & saved their $ is an objective; knocking out a Hamas command post is an objective. Bombing a school => no purpose; counter purpose if you want a popular uprising. So I doubt it was the intended target.

I have to think it was an error, whoever did it. I don’t think we’re deliberately targeting kids at school. Somebody transposed a digit or something.

Canada is much smaller than the US, but Indonesia's population is like 280+ million people. I think an American culture that is actively anti-immigrant and encourages people to own guns "to protect themselves and their lived ones" relies on, and often encourages, a mass distrust of fellow citizens.

Vance's "war on fraud" is a fraud It'd be laughable if people weren't getting hurt.

New in PN: Vance's "war on fraud" is a fraud

"It's bad enough that the campaign against MN is driven by gutter racism. Just as shocking is that this president, who spent a lifetime running scams & swindles, says with a straight face that he wants to fight fraud. And that Vance is the man to do it."

Sure hope the US and its allies in the region weren't wanting air defense support from the Circus (Ukraine).

If Euro leaders are smart, they will use this to integrate Ukraine defensively on AD, and sell the expert consultations to sustain Ukraine's war effort. Charge those Gulf States platinum rates.

We need to pass a House rule or law that requires them to work a certain number of days to get paid. Since Mike Johnson took over these people hardly ever work. When they finally come back after weeks off they work 2 days and he sends them home for 2 more weeks. It’s ridiculous.

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!

Obama’s Nobel was simply for not being George Bush, and he had the grace to be a little embarrassed about it. All his drone strikes came after.

Everything he’s doing makes perfect rational sense if he’s furious with ALL of us except the 1500 shitheads he pardoned for Jan 6, his cabinet, & his rich cronies. His retribution is to destroy the country.

That and an excuse to withhold weapons we were selling to European NATO allies to sell/lend or backfill for weapons sold/lent/given to Ukraine.

β€œFor the last 250 years in this country, it’s been the judges that say this is either constitutional or it isn’t…. [If] nobody’s going to enforce the Constitution, it becomes like the Constitution of Russia,” says Judge John Coughenour, a Ronald Reagan appointee. cbsn.ws/4bgCE3T

OEF hinted and OIF proved this to me.

And that's the tension in NatSec and FP that must be accommodated to be actually good and not an ideological simp.
