I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

I am the author of this OpEd, which was given a misleading title and from which key lines were cut—lines that made very clear that RFK Jr is dangerously ignorant, has absolutely no business near HHS, and is effectively a mass murderer in waiting.
If you plan on voting for Jill Stein or Trump because of the war in the Middle East, please watch and reconsider. It’s just 6 minutes and it’s worth the watch.
One of the most violent racist ideas is the notion that Latinos are hyper-sexual. Which feeds the racist notion that Latino immigrants are “rapists,” to use Trump’s term, justifying racist vigilante and police violence. The same idea feeds the racist notion that Latina immigrants can’t be raped, covering up the sexual violence they routinely face. If this sounds familiar to Black, Native, and Asian Americans, then that is because these racist ideas of hyper-sexuality have been ascribed to women and men in our communities too.
When people ask me, what's the harm of one more housing development, one more mountain biking trail, one more parking area in Yosemite--read this article. There is great harm, and not only are we imperiling wildlife, we are threatening our own existence.
