We must be precise in calling out the Trump administration for what it is: a fascist regime.

I’d say that @stephencolbert.bsky.social is (with the lone exception of @maddow.msnbc.com) the most brilliant, humane person I’ve encountered in broadcasting. His mind works faster than anyone else’s at a level of sophistication that is unmatchable. Genuinely a generational talent.

I served 10 years in the USAF.

Morale, at this moment, is incredibly low. The elephant in the room is we hardly have enough people volunteering to serve relative to the MASSIVE need.

Knee jerk decisions like LA and now Iran don’t help. Few want to be forced to do something questionable.

Perfectly expressed.

"I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves.

Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone.

That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins.

If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after"

Iranian author

Wow so you’re telling me everyone who cheered on the Iraq war is on board with this now too? And so are the people who opposed the Iran nuclear deal and killed it?

You’re kidding.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?
