Graham Platner on Iran: “Nobody wants this war. They know what it’s actually about. This is a war being pushed by Benjamin Netanyahu. He’s been trying to make this war happen for almost 30 years. This war is also being pushed because Donald Trump is in the Epstein Files.”

🚨🚨HOLY SHIT‼️ A Marine Corp Veteran was protesting the war in Iran and how we shouldn’t be fighting on Israel’s behalf when Senator Tim Shelby (R-MN) steps in and fucking breaks dudes hand!

Teddy Roosevelt said, "Speak softly and carry a big stick." We are doing neither of those.

The ouster of at least a dozen staffers from a counterintelligence unit, known as CI-12, which operates out of the Washington Field Office, was ordered by FBI Director Kash Patel, according to four former officials familiar with the dismissals. The dismissals came just days before the start of Operation Epic Fury and, separately, a deadly mass shooting at a bar in Austin, Texas, by a man reportedly wearing a sweatshirt that said, “Property of Allah,” beneath which was a T-shirt that was “emblazoned with a design similar to the Iranian flag,” CBS News reported Monday. CI-12 focuses on media leaks, global espionage, and international threats against America emanating from countries such as Cuba and Iran, former FBI officials tell the Sun. More broadly, CI squads are the lead domestic teams for investigating insider threats and foreign intelligence activity on American soil. In 2020, CI-12 assisted in monitoring potential retaliatory actions by Iranian-backed actors on American soil following a U.S. drone strike near Baghdad International Airport that killed Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps major general Qasem Soleimani, an operation ordered by Mr. Trump, former FBI officials tell the Sun.

Kash just fired some counter Iranian espionage agents.

Surely this will all end well and we'll all have a good laugh about it one day. 🙃

The 53 cars at the Hagerstown Maryland warehouse this morning, appearing a few hours after we left, are NOT the 100 on their way from Minneapolis.

Detention center is more MASSIVE than you can imagine. All this “moving in” while there’s a law suit from MD & other actions to keep from opening.

EVEN CHINA SAID THIS IS ILLEGAL.........

I imagine we've outstayed our welcome in a lot of nations by now, especially in the Middle East.

Offering stability and protecting trade is one thing. Committing lawless aggression that invites retaliation upon your house is quite another.

I don't blame them if they kick us out.

Good time to own a bicycle.

West valley sushi shop owner released from ICE detention after eight months A federal judge has granted Kelly Yu temporary freedom after she filed a habius corpus petition.

"Her release follows months of advocacy from community members and political leaders of both parties.

Yu has operated her two West Valley restaurants for years, building a reputation for greeting customers with humor and kindness. She has no criminal record."

Eight months. I'm glad she survived.

We're going to be left with an untrustworthy military--loyal not to the Constitution, but to those working to destroy it.

Even being a dead, honorable Republican won't save you from this racist regime.

Anyone who thought Persia would go quietly into the good night needs to have their head examined or read a history book. A 3000 year old country won't give up without taking much of the world with it.

Not to be a downer, but I wouldn't expect this to be contained within Iran. We're currently somewhere in between the FA and FO phases.

Maybe she should have worn this to the last Cabinet meeting.

Thousands of DC high schools students have walked out to gather at the Lincoln Memorial in an incredible show of power and unity demanding ICE OUT of American communities.

Tell me again how Native Americans are guilty of immigration violations.

There's somebody in those files named [Redacted]--seems like he might know quite a lot. If only we knew his true identity...

Kids in uniforms are always an important issue to members of the [Redacted] administration.

This is a wake-up call that we are in for rough times ahead. The time to form mutual aid groups is now. We must take care of each other.

Grow a garden and share/trade. Teach others a skill you know. Check on your neighbors. Learn how to communicate without relying on your phone or the Internet.

Read: "I wish I had known that I would be held accountable."

Prince Harry shows his support for Ukraine in a moving video. 💛💙

I've got "dozes off in the middle of his own speech" on my bingo card.

It would be a shame if his makeup ran in the middle of the speech, like Giuliani's did during that one press conference.

Remember to call your members of Congress and tell them to stay home. There's no point in them attending the State of the Union address as all it will be is lies, hatred and blame. Nothing will be gained by being there.
