I remember when our Military wasn't run by a disgraced Fox host and a convicted felon who is beholden to Russia.

It was 6 months ago.

This is just wrong on so many levels

Instead of preparing for possible terrorist attacks after the Trump administration bombed Iran

The Department of Homeland Security is brutally beating and detaining a laborer who's the father of 3 US Marines

Can we at least pause the fascism while we're at war
“family members identified the victim as Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all U.S. Marines”

Remember when Bush used WMDs as the excuse for war in Iraq but then never found any?

Now Trump's using WMDs as his excuse for attacking Iran but in fact he has no clue where they might be keeping their Uranium stockpile

Trump, the isolationist president who vowed to avoid foreign wars, has walked slap bang into a trap prepared by Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu – a trap his smarter predecessors avoided.

Trump has fallen slap bang into the trap laid for him by Netanyahu. His reckless gamble makes a nuclear weapon for Iran more, not less, likely, says Guardian foreign affairs commentator Simon Tisdall

The US is arming a literal genocide, has blocked international action against that genocide, and has now started a war with a sovereign nation by bombing some power plants its own intelligence reports are simply power plants - all on behalf of the country committing genocide.

"Trump has spent the last five months vowing that the Ukraine-Russia war would never have happened if he was president, vowing that the Israel-Gaza war would never have happened if he was president. And yet the reality is that not only has he not avoided war, but he’s plunged us into a new one."
Trump plunges the US into a new war
In fewer than six months in office, the self-proclaimed anti-war president has engrossed the US into a new war in the Middle East

In Pasadena, protesters ran ICE out of a hotel. The hotel insisted ICE leave. Protesters slashed tires of many of the vehicles and local tow companies refused to assist. /

Bernie Sanders did in fact find out about the attack on Iran during his speech in Tulsa. This is that gut wrenching moment when he stopped his speech and announced Trump’s post then informed the audience that we are now at war with Iran. Sanders made clear it’s unconstitutional.

Donald Trump’s traitorous presidency, his undeserved occupation of the Oval Office, and his very repugnant presence in the highest seat of power in America are all a massive middle finger to those who died so that we could endure.

I do not want Gazans to be burned alive. I do not want Jewish people to be set on fire. I do not want these things for any human being.

This is not a difficult position to hold or believe.

Today in Blue Sky I learned at a feeling level why some people go to the dark side or just disengage from politics after being publicly schooled by people who know NOTHING about them or their heart. That’s not going to happen to me, but I was reminded why to just ignore and not engage.

I’m not antisemitic, but I AM super anti Netanyahu. SUPER!!!

I am a fan of Pritzker though!!
Today marks the end of Jewish American Heritage Month, Illinois.

I won't be silent in the face of a continuing record rise of antisemitism in our nation.

There is strength in our faith, and we can always find strength in one another.
