She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre.
She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s.
Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

I have been saying this for almost a year and it is long past due for Dems to adopt this framing for 2 reasons:
1) it is entirely and demonstrably true.
2) the public must be prepared for the enormity of what will be required to dismantle the criminal organization and create a better democracy.

Beyond that (which yes is important), barely a hint of *why* - "But unlike the U.S.-Israeli assault last June, Mr. Trump’s objectives now are less clear" - and absolutely no discussion of whether and how whatever they're planning would achieve whatever that goal might be.
In this entire piece there is not a hint of even a semblance of a legal argument for how a war of this scale would be legal or authorized.
There is quite simply no legal or constitutional authority for Trump to launch a war of choice against Iran.
None. Zero. Nothing.

Hours before peace talks in Geneva, virtually all of democratic Ukraine is under threat of attack by fascist Russia’s drones and missiles, yet Trump doesn’t criticize Kremlin dictator Putin - it’s “Ukraine better come to the table.”
