Also this week in disgraceful two faced foreign policy:
US joins Russia in opposing condemnation of attacks on Ukraine's energy sector for the first time share.google/MkjzM97Eoy5G...
I'm sure we all sleep better knowing the people who make decisions on deploying our military power apparently have an emotional age of 14.
Both parties are NOT the same.
Imagine citing Hawley and Mike Johnson as examples of excellence.
But you need actual people in post who know the region. You cannot rely on real estate magnates who do not understand what the adversary is offering and who only care about making money after the war. You need people who know how to play hardball and whom to call to reassure behind the scenes. 11/
Diplomacy is not weak. Achieving the Iran nuclear deal had real costs, e.g. to Iranians who suffered under sanctions, to Syrians. In war, diplomacy can help deconflict military ops, avoid/mitigate mistakes like sinking an unarmed Iranian ship that was visiting India, mitigate refugee flows, etc. 10/
Here, none of that. @abuaardvark.bsky.social describes the shock in the Gulf at the US inability to protect countries to which it had made security promises, if not treaty commitments. One may think the US should not be in the Gulf, but this is chaos. 8/

A DOJ source says FBI agents found the woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her as a child to be credible:
"They would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying."
Ah - Schroedinger's surrender.
Have you met many American voters? Presumably this is a rhetorical question. The Iranian girls bombed in their school didn't make it onto the front page for days.
Plus, Trump Project 2025 cut 30,000+ employees from VA hospitals in the past year, with plans to cut even more. They can’t handle the current patient load. Both military hospital ships are in dry dock. Is KegsBreath planning on everyone coming home in body bags or no injuries? Could someone ask?
People keep saying Trump doesn't have a clear objective for the Iran war and so no way of assessing how close victory is. Au contraire - his clear objective is to drive the Epstein files off the news agenda and in this it's been very successful so far. I'm sure he feels $1B/day is well worth it.
Soon to be a question asked of Trump.
But the whole point of the post was that Trans women were gaining in popularity as porn subjects even as their rights were being erased and the same was happening to non-trans women. "All women", while inclusive, would obliterate the point. I give up! The language needs to evolve faster.
Open to suggestions for what would be the most appropriate. Ironically, the point of my post was that all women, trans or otherwise, are similarly exploited by the patriarchy.
He’s not fucking around. He 100% will do anything to steal the midterms along with the 2028 election, where he FULY intends on running for a 3rd term. This man is terrifying.
Official start date for Brexit: 1 February 2020
2006: don’t be evil
2016: but really, what *is* evil?

Could it be because Trump got rid of all the senior officers who were more loyal to the Constitution than to him personally?
"Assigned female at birth"? A bit wordy and clinical but I suppose it's the only option. The language hasn't caught up with the sociological reality.
"Will cross the desert to get into Dubai with War Room soldiers. However, will not stand in a passport queue in the hot sun. Are you crazy? This is a desert. It's like an oven out there!"
A sizeable cohort of people object to the term cis woman so I hesitated to use it. But I don't know what else to use. "Non-trans woman"?
This will wipe out scores of birds, insects, nocturnal creatures...it's not like they play any role in maintaining the ecosystem or anything.
Both these things can be true at once.
Bad enough that he has unleashed chaos, but that he has done it out of sheer DUMBNESS and ignorance...
Funny, this same porn representation/fading rights thing goes for bio women also.
Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.
No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.
Worth a watch.

Four fighter jets is not exactly a meaningful contribution to a war of aggression.
