They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

How to understand war with Iran? We must get away from propaganda. Facts suggest two interpretive frameworks: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the United States. snyder.substack.com/p/why-attack...

Someone get ICE Barbie to explain why they’re terrorizing people and breaking the law in order to do it. Every single day it gets worse and we continue to get no answers from this cruel, incompetent administration. So much for law & order. ABOLISH ICE! www.reuters.com/legal/govern...
reuters.com
Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped.
The decisions amount to a huge legal rebuke, one the administration has ignored.

Some trump voters, especially younger & Latino voters, say they regret their vote. Some might support Democrats in 2026 or sit out the election. But the polling doesn’t actually say “those regretful voters will definitely vote for Democrats in the midterms.” When will they learn? 😩
