Murphy: I have great sympathy for our soldiers and our military leaders they are being given directions by a senile old man who is losing his mind. And so it's no surprise that this war is going horribly

Do not allow Vermont’s governor (or others) to lie to you.

We were there to keep our neighbors safe. We were met with violent brutality.

CT Jewish leaders denounce new rules for federal security grants Recipients of the nonprofit security grant will be prohibited from DEI programming, staging some boycotts or helping undocumented immigrants.

fun fact: the department of homeland security added restrictions last year to its nonprofit security grants program that help synagogues and other jewish institutions hire security that effectively makes it so that liberal jewish organizations can't qualify

Guards at a federal immigration detention facility aka concentration camp deep in the Florida Everglades have been wearing a patch that resembles Nazi SS death’s head insignia β€” and one of them made it himself and handed it out to colleagues working inside.

β€˜Titanic’ statue of Trump and Epstein on the Mall draws praise, scorn The statue, depicting them embracing on a copy of the Titanic bow, is the third placed on the Mall by the artists depicting a connection between Trump and Epstein.

There's a new Trump-Epstein statue on the National Mall.

It's an enormous statue, spray-painted gold, of Trump embracing Epstein in a reenactment of that famous scene from "Titanic."

In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing

AI error or not, Iran school bombing is a permanent stain on America’s soul | Will Bunch A debate on AI in warfare obscures the truth about an Iran school bombing. U.S. humans are to blame for this war crime.

Wounded Knee. Tulsa. My Lai. Abu Ghraib

And now, Minab

We need to talk about the horror when 180 little schoolgirls, boys and teachers were obliterated by U.S. Tomahawk missiles last week. And tell Congress: Not one more dime for these war crimes

This is why I find it interesting that, in the week after this person (the 7th US service member killed in Trump's illegal war), DOD never managed to evacuate them to Ramstein to treat injuries suffered on March 1.

Why now is the time to be loudly anti-war We don't need the clarity of hindsight to know war in Iranβ€”or anywhereβ€”will end in physical, moral and financial ruin.

β€œPerhaps the most compelling reason not to go to war abroad is that we’re already fighting one here at home. Americans don’t need to be deployed to Iran or elsewhere to experience the horrors of war because one has been domestically grown for us.”

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

so apparently Brian McGinnis has been denied access to both his family and legal representation since a sitting senator broke his arm

So let me get this straight ...

1. US bombs Iran
2. Oil price goes up a bit, benefitting Russia's petrostate
3. Russia gives Iran targeting info
4. Oil price shoots WAY up
5. US unsanctions Russian oil
