They’re going to try to make you feel insane for opposing this war. They’ll ignore protests and downplay any opposition. They’ll try to strongarm you into submission.
They did it with Iraq and they’ll do it again.
And then a few years later they’ll pretend they were with you all along.

I’m betting on the Pacers to win Game 7 tonight because if a Republican-led US government is starting wars over spurious claims that Muslim countries are developing WMD programs, Haliburton is probably about to get a big win

I was briefed on the intelligence last week.
Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

Large majorities of Americans, including many Republican voters, oppose bombing Iran. They might want to weigh in with both the House and the Senate.

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT?

Every time they travel. Every time they golf. Every time they ski. Every time they attempt to experience even an iota of joy, we should deprive them.
Fox News reported that JD Vance had to move to an “undisclosed location” due to protests at the Vermont resort where he’s skiing this weekend. For inflicting misery on the world and here at home in America, this is exactly the energy that should greet Vance wherever he goes for the rest of his days.

J.D. Vance’s Fascist Ideology
J.D. Vance is a fraud but it’s far worse that he has a long and consistent history of advocating fascist ideology.

Zelensky taking a hard line right now is EXACTLY what the world needs.
Call out their lies, hold them accountable, speak in simple terms, and hold strong.

Zelenskyy: "When they, for example say that Ukraine is almost destroyed, that our soldiers run away, that they are not heroes, that the president is a dictator, what is the reaction? It's not about me. The reaction is, where is the friendship between Ukraine and the US?"

If you're a prominent voice for the Dems and you capitulate to the GOP to endear yourself to Trump, there's something you need to understand
MAGA will never, ever respect you
What you showed them is you can be pushed around, bought off, and owned like a little bitch
