americans are trained to believe european infrastructure is expensive and then paris builds automated metro for a quarter of our per-mile cost and we go "must be nice to have all that government money." brother they spent LESS than us

Nobody in Congress would talk about impeachment for illegal bombing. But they’re apparently talking about impeachment for possible peace.

Unless you're an brain-wormed partisan, "Iran is an evil regime," "this preventive war was stupid and should never have been launched," and "this peace deal is a US humiliation" are three perfectly true things you should be able to believe at the same time.

A standing ovation for anti-genocide activists charged with hurting the feelings of weapons parts.

The number 1 thing pisses me off today is how every company realized they can still technically operate at the bare minimum if they run a skeleton crew for everything. So now every service sucks, both for the workers and the customers, and we can't do anything.

i watched every single major western news outlet deny the most obvious genocide in history

[Amir @AmirAminiMD]

It’s even more crazy how Iran fired thousands of “cheap” drones and missiles at several countries from thousands of miles away but not once accidentally hit a school, a university or a hospital.

It’s almost like their goal was defense & deterrence -not terror & ethnic cleansing.

When I was struggling through grad school, I landed a job at a small ethnic (Greek-American) paper in Boston, and the publisher dropped some books on my desk as my "training" said: Read these.
Zinsser was one of them and it was the best advice he ever gave me.

when we say “crime is a social construct”.

what we mean is that you, as an individual, can go to jaił for littering but a corporation can poıson the air, the soil, and the water of an entire town, and no one will go to jaił.

An administration against windmills because the president says they kill birds is pouring hydrogen peroxide into a home for ducks and geese.

The speed at which the US military has become stupid under Trump and Hegseth is breathtaking.

This is how you push through universally unpopular legislation. You start with attacks on groups most people don't care about (sex workers), under the guise of something many support (protecting kids). Then you keep increasing the heat until the frog sits in boiling water.

I$rael is leaving bombs disguised as footballs in many towns and villages across southern Lebanon, as documented here in Douier. This isn't the first time bombs have been disguised as children's toys by the I$raeli's. Locals are being advised to remain diligent and not touch or move any suspicious looking objects

The scariest thing about this is that there's no way to know whether he's even aware that he spent the last 4 months saying exactly the opposite

The best possible outcome of the Iran War would be if it led to the downfall of Trump and Netanyahu.

[Phillips P. OBrien @PhillipsPOBrien]

Just a friendly reminder. If the US had taken only a small fraction of the money and military equipment it has squandered fighting and losing to Iran, and instead helped Ukraine, the Middle East would be more stable and Russia would be facing defeat.
