Iran 2025 is not Iraq 2003.
Iraq did not have an active nuclear program, Iran very much does. It’s a real issue this time.
With Iraq, the US started the war.
With Iran, Israel already started it before the US entered.
Also, Iran has about 2X Iraq’s population and about 3X the territory.

Sen Bernie Sanders reacted in real time—fierce, unwavering, and absolutely right—calling out Trump’s unconstitutional and illegal act of war on Iran.
This is a flagrant abuse of power.
Every Republican enabling this lawless escalation must be hounded and held accountable.

Good question and I think a pretty good answer.
Sure, it’s fair to blame the unions for lobbying for bad things.
But the real disgrace are the politicians that are too weak to stand up against it.

There is suffering everywhere you look, says mother of emaciated baby girl trapped in Gaza
Babies such as Siwar Ashour are suffering from malnutrition as crucial supplies run out amid Israel’s total blockade on aid
Siwar Ashour was born into war and hunger and has known nothing else. She is now in real danger of dying without ever having known a moment of peace or contentment.
The six-month-old Palestinian girl, whose painfully emaciated body symbolised the deliberate starvation of Gaza when she appeared on the BBC this week, was only 2.5kg when she was born on 20 November last year. Continue reading...

we need to think of 'abolishing ICE' as like 'abolishing the Wehrmacht.' Germany still needed an army. Americans will still want some kind of immigration and border authorities. But abolishing the culture, structures, and power-holders of a utterly corrupted and brutal system is important.

yes, how dare a retailer break out taxes from other expenses on the receipt. this sort of thing has never before been seen in America.
White House says Amazon's decision to desplay tariff-based price increases on products is a "a hostile and political act by Amazon," who they accuse of working with "a Chinese propaganda arm."

Actually great idea. Amazon is already backing down apparently but every company should do this.
