Took a break. Been trying to scale back rage-posting. But I miss what it was like in 2007 when I loved Twitter and found community there. So I’m back. Hi, everyone. I hope you had a great Independence Day, and remember that what we celebrated yesterday was the birth of an idea we can still achieve.

From stand with Israel to die for Israel, this is what MAGA voted for. Trump has opened an unnecessary and illegal war with Iran, not for the American people but for his foreign sponsors and handlers.

@aoc.bsky.social calls Trump’s decision to bomb Iran “clearly grounds for impeachment” and “a grave violation of the constitution.” She’s absolutely right.

Trump has unilaterally conducted illegal strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities and therefore started a war between the United States and Iran on behalf of the Israeli government without authorization by the congress, in opposition to the constitution and congressional war powers.
Donald J. Trump & @realDonaldTrump
We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.
All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Now that Trump has ordered an air strike on Iran, never forget how utterly the New York Times and people like Maureen Dowd failed us from the beginning.

Tariffs. Stock market down. Medicaid slashed Secret police throwing anyone who looks Latino in unmarked vans. National guard and marines deployed in LA. No end to the wars in Gaza or Ukraine Bombing Iran This is the worst first six months of any presidential term in my lifetime.

Never in my life as an American the President praising God in such a manner after clearly stating that there was no benefit to the US from these strikes but that it was done for and solely on behalf of a foreign government and that government alone.

A CNN crew was escorted away from the LA protests last night. There is only one reason to prevent a free press from being present during this abuse of power. A kangaroo SCOTUS empowered this. The rule of law and a free press serve as the last bastion against fascism. NOW IS THE TIME to act.

Los Angeles looks a like a warzone right now. Trump has deployed ICE agents in full tactical gear driving armored vehicles and carrying riot shields, rifles, shotguns, and more. Citizens are being hit with tear gas and being thrown to the ground. It’s horrific.

Hogan has no authority to call up the National Guard and neither does the dictator. If they deploy the guard against LA without Congressional approval we are done for. Their bloodlust and bigotry is unbridled.
