BREAKING: The Pentagon says three U.S. service members have been killed and five seriously wounded in hostilities with Iran
They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).
This is one of my pettier impulses but I want the record to reflect just how often this motherfucker said that Kamala Harris was the pro-war candidate in 2024.
How to understand war with Iran? We must get away from propaganda. Facts suggest two interpretive frameworks: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the United States. snyder.substack.com/p/why-attack...

One day I hope this will feel outdated. We’re nowhere near there yet.
-Zero Congressional consultation or approval. -Zero preparation of public for need/consequences of war. -Zero evidence of thought about "OK, what might the other side do?" Next month. Next year. -Zero mention of anti-nuke agreement Trump voided, or Trump claim last year that nukes "obliterated."
Someone get ICE Barbie to explain why they’re terrorizing people and breaking the law in order to do it. Every single day it gets worse and we continue to get no answers from this cruel, incompetent administration. So much for law & order. ABOLISH ICE! www.reuters.com/legal/govern...
Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped.
The decisions amount to a huge legal rebuke, one the administration has ignored.

The SAVE Act is built to trip women up. About 69 million married women have names that do not match their birth certificates, and this bill turns that paperwork into a weapon against their voice. Screw the patriarchy. #SaveActTaxesYourVote
