Amid Fears of 'Imminent' Strike on Iran, Poll Shows US Public Opposes Trump Military Interventions | Common Dreams
As a US strike on Iran is reportedly "imminent," 56% of Americans say Trump has already gone too far with his use of the military to intervene in other countries. Just 8% want him to go further.

The entirety of the GOP is complicit in Trump's authoritarian march. The party must be defeated and resisted at every level.

Ultimately, if Trump blunders into WW3, and the planet is nuked to death, the fabric of the universe will surely be unaffected, and the irradiated atoms of our corpses shall merely drift peacefully into the vastness of ethereal space.

Ultimately? In a cosmic sense, this great globe is a globule of shit, crawling with maggots, & should the bolus of maggot-infested filth consume itself, or blow up, the universe won't notice.

This is how I view the world, when the weight of our collective-misery drags me down to the pit of gloom.

hey, boys, let's go to Maine in the absolute dead of winter and make sure everybody there REALLY fucking hates the GOP right before a pivotal Senate election
BREAKING — Mayor of Lewiston, Maine posts on FB that ICE is coming to the city imminently. This confirms my reporting the agency is planning a surge in the city and state generally.

Lewiston is home to a large Somali-American population, which made up 4.6% of the population as of the 2020 census.

I propose a NEW mode of politics, where evils are stopped BEFORE they happen. Evils like electing a criminally-stupid, Nazi tyrant, traitor, and biblical Antichrist, who will inevitably torture us to death, before blundering into WW3, and killing the few who remain.

11/ For nearly 100 years, Harvard has been tracking thousands of citizens, figuring out which lives lead to happiness and which to emptiness.

And their finding is simple. Careers and money don't lead to happiness. Connection, friendship, and camaraderie do.
What the Longest Study on Human Happiness Found Is the Key to a Good Life
The Harvard Study of Adult Development has established a strong correlation between deep relationships and well-being. The question is, how does a person nurture those deep relationships?

13/ Money matters. But when all of experience becomes monetized...when virtue and character and connection get crowded out....and the only measure of what matters is the cash value of the outcome - a spiritual cost comes with it.

I know it's never going to happen because the msm is utterly feckless, but when Trump makes stupid claims about his "high level of morality" I would so love to see a reporter say, "Sir, you've been convicted of 34 felonies, and should've spent the last year on trial for crimes against the US."
