Our troops are dying this isn’t a video game. The White House is posting so-called “hype” videos that mix real footage from the war in Iran with clips from movies and video games like Call of Duty. It’s an absolute disgrace.

Putin already succeeded in permanently destroying America's reputation as the leader of the Democratic world....

What the fuck is wrong with America. That his approval is anywhere near 40 is madness. He should be closer to 20.

Fuck sake the dems and others are not making the case that he is STEALING democracy from under their noses. In plain sight.

Something must be done.

I sometimes see it remarked that the left doesn't read about or think about military issues. To the (extremely limited) sense that that is true, it's because many of us did the reading 20 years ago.

Blowing up schools and hospitals. Carpet bombing Tehran. Sinking a ship returning from training exercises. Hegseth says "the only people who need to worry are Iranians who want to live", while the President says he guesses we should be worried, people die in wars.
This, this is their "Alpha war". 🙄

1/ Russian bloggers are waking up to the fact that they live in an oppressive dictatorship with declining living standards. 14 years after Vladimir Putin was reelected as "a strong leader for a great country," commentators are asking: what has Putin ever done for us? ⬇️

Iceland locks in on date for EU referendum | Euractiv As a member of the European Economic Area, Iceland is already aligned with much of the bloc's legislation

Just announced: Iceland has urgently moved up its referendum to join the European Union - to 29 August.

A reminder: 🇮🇸 is in many ways already a non-voting 🇪🇺 member because of the EEA. This would give them voting power to shape the laws they have to follow.

Can’t wait for the Benghazi 2.0 hearings to happen over abandoning US Officials and Diplomats across the Middle East because a child rapist and money launderer is being blackmailed to start a war on behalf of Benjamin Netanyahu.

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

Honest question, when people say “Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris were right about everything,” what are they referring to that isn’t the most obvious “bad stuff is gonna happen” stuff

Investigators now say the U.S. likely bombed a girls’ school in Iran, killing over 160 people, mostly children. If confirmed, it would rank among the worst civilian massacres of America’s Middle East wars.

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

It is offcially the "Department of Defense", but Trump/Hegseth wanted to call it the "Department of War." Now watch them decide to call it the "Department of Limited Military Action" because that's the what Trump has to say to justify the bombing under the War Measures Act.

I’m seeing a ton of this floating around.

It’s true, we’re bombing the hell out of Iran, but this war isn’t as one sided as they’d have you believe. In a week, the US has lost at least two (possibly more) AN/TPY-2 radar.

We have less than 15 of them and they take years to make.

In a world that didn't give a shit about them beforehand I feel really sorry for them being used as pawns like this.

as a constant-yet-fluctuating disaster, which for most people mostly happens in the news, but if you work in a related field it's changed everything, and at any time the effects can randomly devastate someone you know or somewhere you live,

this presidential administration is weirdly like COVID

This goes beyond politics, and is not even a statement about politics.

Something is wrong with us. This nation is broken on a cultural level. I can't define it, and I don't know how to fix it. But we are tearing ourselves apart. If we don't diagnose and treat that, the rest of it won't matter
