What hell are we living in?!
I can’t stop thinking about all the kids in Tehran breathing hydrocarbons and all the negative health outcomes they’ll have for decades to come.
All from bombs funded by our taxes.
Tehran today.
Toxic rain — which burns skin and destroys lungs — falls in a city of 10 people million after US‑Israeli strikes on fuel depots.
Trump and Israel are poisoning the skies of Iran and murdering civilians.
In what universe does any of this constitute “liberation”?
We’re told there’s not enough money for health care, affordable housing or education.
But somehow there are billions for an illegal & unconstitutional war with Iran.
We need a government that works for all of us — not the military-industrial complex, not Israel, not super PACs.
Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
@sama@PeteHegseth I just canceled ChatGPT and bought Claude Pro Max.
One stands up for the God-given rights of the American people. The other folds to tyrants.
.@jamestalarico: I frankly am tired of the "thoughts and prayers" rhetoric from our leaders here in Texas and in our nation's capital.
I believe in the power of prayer. I believe prayer changes lives. I believe prayer changes the world. But there is something profoundly cynical about asking God to solve a problem that we're not willing to solve ourselves.
Scripture reminds us that faith without works is dead — the time for thoughts and prayers is over. It's time for us to act.
This is indefensible. The victim’s legally owned handgun was removed from the scene, and then ICE agents shot him multiple times. It’s far from law enforcement — it’s just murder.
Those who defend this don’t care about law or order. It’s about money, power, and protecting an executive branch that’s already been bought and paid for.
To be clear about what this depicts: An immigration officer threw a woman onto the ground. Alex Pretti, a registered nurse on scene as a legal observer, is filming and goes to help the woman up. He is then pepper sprayed and thrown to the ground for no discernible reason. Many officer surround and assault him; one removes his firearm, which police say appears to have been legally registered. They then execute him with a hail of bullets.
They are, objectively speaking, both cowards and criminals, while Pretti is what we teach people an American ought to be.
Sorry y’all, I’m not posting that video.
It’s not “controversial.”
It’s murder.
And what we’re watching in Minneapolis is state-sanctioned criminal violence by a federal government that’s gone full fascist.
There has been another shooting involving federal agents in Minneapolis and I am working to get more information. I will update as soon as possible. To the Trump administration and the Republicans in Congress who have stood silent: Get ICE out of our state NOW.
Not George W. Bush. Not the vast majority of Republicans in Congress. Not the Generals. Not conservatism Inc. Not the big law firms. Not the tech oligarchs. Not the media conglomerates who need their mergers.
Jerome Powell. A man who refuses to be intimidated.
