“GOD IS A COMEDIAN… This is a clusterfuck of historic proportions and everyone who's ever held a rank knows it.” Do yourself a favor and read this piece on the absurdity that is Trump’s Iran War and the ever-shifting justifications. open.substack.com/pub/no01/p/m... A taste:
I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK

Scott L Greer@scottlgreer.bsky.social · 10mo ago"what costs people like us sleep at night isn’t that we aren’t doing enough. It’s that we’ve lost confidence in the people who are in positions to do more.
