Right, this is the key point imo. The entire war is illegal as a matter of domestic American law, constitutional and statutory. Has been from the outset.

Since most of this rests on government contracts, & he has just committed mass murder & the most egregious constitutional crimes of possibly any private citizen in American history, it should be confiscated by the state & used to reimburse American taxpayers & the federal budget.

The whole Iran war is looking more and more like a gimmick to drop energy sanctions on Russia and pressure Europeans to do the same. A war to make Russia’s much larger war easier and possible to sustain.

Not a lawyer, but it seems like Hegseth's explicit order to relax rules of engagement, thereby deliberately endangering civilians, would make this a war crime for which he is responsible. He should he prosecuted as a monstrous war criminal at the earliest opportunity. His order killed 165 children.

To be clear, the United States is not calling for Ukraine to give away its land to Russia. The Russian-controlled regime that was installed into the U.S. executive is calling for it. The illegitimate regime does not properly speak for the United States.

Democrats in power need to learn a permanent lesson from what has happened to Twitter, CBS and now TikTok. People argue over precise messaging strategy, W.A.R, turnout versus persuasion, etc. But your NUMBER ONE ELECTORAL JOB IS TO PREVENT MEDIA PLATFORMS FROM FALLING TO FASCISTS.

The WH is clearly looking for a place to escalate this into a two-sided conflict. What Democratic leaders need to understand is that if the enemy is determined to start a war, it is unavoidable. Prepare to fight or be oppressed. You can't get out of it just because you don't want it to happen.

If Democrats had any sense of self-preservation, they'd threaten Google: "If you enable fascists, once we retake power, we'll target, then break up your company. We'll destroy it." They can't say anything remotely close to that, however. Short thread.

We cannot afford a divided and weak opposition party when an authoritarian is invading our cities, terrorizing our communities, and corruptly self-enriching at the expense of the rest of us.

We want to celebrate a Democratic Party that fights back. But after this latest surrender, the next step is primaries and new leadership. We get the party we demand, and we intend to demand one that fights.
