University of Florida-Astronomy/Astronomy instructor in Palestine/Renaissance Art/Former Republican/No MAGA, No AIPAC/ END THE OCCUPATION OF PALESTINE 🇵🇸
We have a few major problems going on in America today.
1. Affordability crisis - prices up across the board.
2. No more forever wars - we’re in a quagmire in Iran.
3. Epstein files - the president is in the Epstein files.
That’s why his approval rating is at 33%.
As low as Herbert Hoover at the depths of the Great Depression.
The House is scheduled to vote this week on a National Defense Authorization that would integrate our military tech & supply chains with Israel’s.
Today, the Rules Committee will decide whether my amendment to strip section 219 will get a vote.

@RealScottRitter@joekent16jan19 🎯💯 The unnessessary Trump-Netanyahu war needs to end NOW! These two bullies think they can keep pushing this madness without paying attention to the human sacrifices being made.
In any chaotic situation, the side that restores order wins.
Ending the escalation cycle w/Iran and restoring the free flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz must be our top priority—not only for the sake of our economy, but for America’s standing as a global superpower.
There is no military solution to this conflict. The air campaigns are not working & a ground campaign would be a strategic disaster, producing heavy American casualties while further destabilizing the region.
Continued escalation only worsens the damage to the U.S., our partners, and the global economy.
Killing the Ayatollah has backfired: instead of fracturing the regime, it’s unified Iranians—including many who previously opposed the IRGC & the government— to now rally around the flag and the IRGC.
After months of bloodshed, basic human nature combined with nationalism & Shia martyrdom culture dictate that meaningful concessions from the Iranians via diplomacy are highly unlikely while U.S. forces remain within striking distance.
We restore order by ending the conflict on our terms: deprive Iran of military targets to strike by removing our troops, bases, & naval forces from the area.
Our bases in the region are liabilities & relics of the past—abandoning them is not retreat, it’s strategic adaptation to modern warfare.
This move removes Iran’s primary justification for disrupting shipping in the SOH and for attacking its neighbors. We can then offer the carrot: sanctions relief in exchange for freedom of navigation in the SOH.
The war has changed the region. Iran has emerged as a major regional power—the sooner we recognize this reality and adjust our posture accordingly, the stronger our position will be.
Obama wore a tan suit and Fox News set their hair on fire.
Now I want you to imagine Obama starting a war that creates a quagmire costing several hundred billion dollars.
Imagine Obama trading in his personal account to the tune of $22 billion.
Imagine the right wing outrage.
We all know what would have happened.
Instead these guys fall in line.
The hypocrisy isn’t even hidden anymore.
It’s just sitting there in plain sight and nobody seems embarrassed by it.
That tells you everything about where we are.
@Acyn If ANY of this was reality, he would have had events showing his successes. There have been NONE. This is as real as the 20 minute phone call to Mitch McConnell
I spoke to McConnell for about 20 minutes this morning.
He said we should end the war with Iran, quit giving aid to Israel, stop spying on Americans without a warrant, and he’s really sorry about how my primary turned out.
