Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.

Obama’s change in policy towards Cuba and the JCPOA happened, the world didn’t end, everything was fine. Part of manufacturing consent for more war is purposefully forgetting the very recent memory when it was proven to be wholly unnecessary.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

May his soul be at peace, and may we all have such courage in the face of oppression.

if i were chatterton, not sure i would call on anyone to “introspect” if the most noteworthy things i have ever produced were, in this order: a story about how rap made me hit my girlfriend and an anecdote over how i couldn’t stop ogling a actress’s breasts. look in the mirror my dude.

the idea that I have built my career off of hateful commentary is just Binion (“we have ronan farrow at home”) complaining that my posts are mean. he has never read my work.

Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0

DHS keeps the fuck plane. Lewandowski stays on it and he has to fuck. Markwayne's problem now.

It's abundantly clear that Trump & team had no plan for what to do if the Iranians didn't immediately surrender. And I'm sure they were told by the professionals that an immediate surrender was highly unlikely. So now they're floating random low-probability options while lying their asses off.

The real story is that foreign govts try to "interfere" all the time. In 2020 and 2024 we had mechanisms to catch them, call them out, & mitigate damage. Now, those mechanims are gone & the Trump admin would prefer to exploit "foreign interference" to justify a federal take-over of elections.

Trump Vetoes Measure to Force End to U.S. Involvement in Yemen War A man inspecting the site of an airstrike by the Saudi-led coalition last week in Sana, Yemen. Hani Mohammed/Associated Press By Mark Landler and Peter Baker April 16, 2019 WASHINGTON - President Trump vetoed a bipartisan resolution on Tuesday that would have forced an end to American military involvement in Saudi Arabia's civil war in Yemen, rejecting an appeal by lawmakers to his own deeply rooted instincts to withdraw the United States from bloody foreign conflicts. The veto, only the second time Mr. Trump has used his power to block legislation passed by both houses of

The Court declared this sort of congressional check unconstitutional. It said the president has to be able to veto meaningful votes by Congress. And because of the Court’s flawed interpretation of the Constitution, the president has simply ignored Congress.

It’s worth emphasizing that the Supreme Court has propped up this presidential lawlessness.

When Congress enacted limits on presidential power in 1973, it included an enforcement provision. If the president said there’s an “emergency from attack” and Congress disagreed, it could order troops home.

You can just say things.

The first deaths announced from the US-Israeli strikes on Iran: dozens of school girls. They hit an elementary school in Hormozgan.

In the past, sometimes presidents have said it’s just a military operation or limited airstrikes to skirt Congress. Trump has unilaterally launched major combat operations, declaring war with the goal of regime change. A major violation of the U.S. Constitution, also illegal under international law

So Hegseth is attacking Scouting America for treating trans kids with respect, including respecting their chosen names... at the same time he demands you respect the made up name for his department, which he changed illegally without congressional approval.

so my terrible sin was to express the view that things are often more complex than they look and it is unclear how this plays out given countervailing currents in american life. i should have said, instead, that all is lost. okay, cool!
