Thread by @armscontrolwonk.bsky.social noting that the US & Israeli bombings may not have destroyed the 60% enriched uranium AND may have left Iran with an enrichment site -- with more incentive to rush to weaponization. So the bombings may simply accelerate Iran's acquisition of nuclear weapons.
Why am I so unimpressed by these strikes? Israel and the US have failed to target significant elements of Iran's nuclear materials and production infrastructure. RISING LION and MIDNIGHT HAMMER are tactically brilliant, but may turn out to be strategic failures. 🧵 1/17

Be praying for Dem law makers in MN. We have an “imposter LEO” who according to news has shot several state representatives this morning. Currently in lockdown in my neighborhood as the manhunt is underway. 🙏🏻

Honestly, I think most Americans would not mind a 250th US Army celebration. It’s unfortunate that Trump (as always) had to insert himself into a situation that should have had nothing to do with him. Let him have his own cake at the WH. Let the rest of us honor the Army without an addled dictator.

I’m honestly at the point where I am ashamed I ever voted for Republicans. I feel like I was conned. The GOP stands for NONE of the things they used to claim. Not pro-life, not pro-family, not pro-business or opportunity, not pro-freedom or the rule of law.
They are cruel, vile, dishonest, greedy.

The best Memorial Day speech is only 271 words and wasn't delivered on Memorial Day, but on November 19, 1863. Read it carefully, it's the most important speech in American military history (and maybe all of American history).

My thought on the Origin Blue all-female flight: it probably was very meaningful to them - everyone who has gotten the opportunity has reported being very emotional about the experience.
It doesn’t have to be deeply meaningful to other people. I don’t think we need to mock their experience though.

A reminder that Trump doesn't play 4D chess. His critics impose 4D chess narratives on his reckless impulsivity in order to reassure themselves that there is method to the madness, when there just isn't.

On vaccines, immigration, trade, race, gay rights, crime — name your issue — the entire country is now trapped by the bigotries and delusions of a sunsetting old man whose worldview is stuck in 1986.

So excited to get a new set of pencils to try! Haven’t purchased any art supplies for a while but now that I’m starting to draw again it was time. This brand (Castle Arts, Gold line) is completely new to me but was far more economical than what I’ve been using, and I was able to get the entire set.

My youngest was disappointed that he couldn’t go to the “Youth Christmas Party” with his big brother, so we are having our own little party at home: jammies, holiday movie, cocoa and treats.
