Sen. Ossoff Statement on Iran
Atlanta, Ga. - U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff today released the following statement.
"Eight months ago, Donald Trump lied to the country when he claimed U.S. air strikes had 'obliterated' Iran's nuclear program.
"Now Trump says he's taken America to war for regime change in Iran.
"Trump has launched this regime change war and put American forces at risk without presenting evidence of an imminent threat, without clear objectives, without having exhausted diplomacy, without a plan for the aftermath, and without the consent of Congress.
"I oppose yet another regime change war-of-choice in the Middle East. Congress must convene immediately and pass a War Powers Resolution to assert our Constitutional authority over war and peace.
"The President has presented no evidence that Iran or its nuclear program β€” which he falsely claimed to have 'obliterated' β€” pose an imminent threat to the United States, or that diplomacy was exhausted. Iran's support for terrorism and uranium enrichment have long destabilized the region. But sending American forces into harm's way should only ever be a last resort.
"I pray for the safety of U.S. forces who have been ordered into battle and commend their extraordinary professionalism."

Ossoff’s statement is 1000x stronger than Schumer-Jeffries. This is a moderate Jewish Senator from a Trump state. The split isn’t moderate vs progressive, but leading vs poll-reacting

Mapzen bans Trump for terms of service violation In our view, the current President promotes hate and violence and we refuse to support it. We are proactively banning Trump for terms of service violation, for 120 days (at least).

About a million years ago, Mapzen (RIP) banned the Trump administration from using our services. At the time it felt hypothetical, a preemptive ban on "what if" questions. I never imagined it would play out for real with today’s most prominent tech company. www.mapzen.com/blog/mapzen-...

Advertising photo from the 80s showing a CRT TV on the left that's about knee high, probably 27 inches diagonally, then next to it there's one that is way way bigger. And next to that is a nice Japanese lady in a red button up dress with a white collar and huge shoulder pads

thinking about her (the world's largest CRT TV, the Sony PVM-4300, which weighed well over 400 lbs)

The thing where ICE parks masked men in school lots is something I would not have believed unless I saw it with my own two eyes. They do it constantly. It’s purely a terror tactic and they’ve done it to schools over the region. Our schools are collapsing - often at 50% attendance or less.

Law enforcement officers have always been unmasked in this country until ICE started wearing them last year.

*That* is the departure from norms. *That* is the step too far.

the cover essentially just contains a large in game screenshot of the game, which is a platformer inside the shape of a human head with a brain at the top.
