Gambit (He/Him)

Obama has the crowd at Jesse Jackson's eulogy hanging on his every word

Funny how he uses the passive voice when he screws up. Fucking coward.

‘It’s like the Day of Judgment out here.’ New England residents trapped in Middle East as war escalates. - The Boston Globe “There’s nothing you can do but just sit and pray and hope nothing happens,” said Hassan Mourad, who arrived in Beirut last week on business.

U.S. citizens are trapped in the Middle East with no clear information and no way out.

Donald Trump's response? “It happened all very quickly.”

This is a complete failure.

I'm pressing the Trump administration for a plan to evacuate Americans now.

We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.

MASSIE: “Iran is not Venezuela. The Ayatollah was not a president. He was a religious leader… 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 turned him into a martyr, expended billions, 6 🇺🇸 families must now lay to rest their sons & daughters. And for what? This administration can't even give us a straight answer.”

It’s almost like we didn’t think this through.

Bensky: And then we have the moment where all of my information is released. All of these other survivors — all of our information is literally out there for the world to see. And you’re like, “Wow, the DOJ really — our government doesn’t care.”

Today the House votes on the War Powers Resolution. I will vote YES to limit U.S. military involvement in Iran.

My thoughts are with the families of the 6 American service members killed in Donald Trump’s war of choice.

Congress—not the President—decides when America goes to war.

“No stupid rules of engagement”

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

We don’t yet know if Estefany Rodríguez’s detention was in retaliation for her reporting but we certainly wouldn’t be surprised.

ICE abductions of noncitizen journalists take the reporters best equipped to cover immigration enforcement off the beat.

Never forget that this what The Washington Post said when Noem was nominated.

Well would you look at that

SCOOP: Proton Mail provided Swiss authorities with payment data that the FBI then used to determine who was allegedly behind an anonymous account affiliated with the Stop Cop City movement in Atlanta, according to a court record reviewed by 404 Media.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

“Support our troops!” amiright?

This is not my image, nor was it my camera. My hats off to whoever took this beautiful picture. It shows that life will allow more than one species to benefit from one thing at once. Even Bees and Hummingbirds can share water or nectar.

„Trump administration officials told lawmakers during a closed-door briefing on Capitol Hill Tuesday that Iran’s Shahed attack drones represent a major challenge and US air defenses will not be able to intercept them all, according to a source in the briefing.“

In the modern era, no American president has ordered more military strikes against as many different countries as Donald Trump.

It will be our sons and daughters, our nieces and nephews, our grandchildren who will be asked to sacrifice their lives for Trump’s wars.
