The entire world is on high alert following U.S. strikes in Iran, Vance says regime change is not the plan, multiple U.S. cities beef up security, a man dies in ICE custody during transit, and more.
Well let's see... we have the president who had violated the Constitution multiple times. Said president is also a convicted felon who has been credibly accused of SA by multiple women.
We have Congress majority that allows the said president to do whatever the heck he wants.
We have an incompetent, prejudiced cabinet.
We have masked goons with guns snatching people off the streets without cause and throwing them into the slammer without due process.
Tell me again that part about democracy! I mean... you can keep telling yourself that that's what we have. Maybe it will sink in when you are the one grabbed off the street.
I am a foreign, female, bisexual, autistic, SA survivor witch. I will get shot. I already get death threats just for doing daily reports on the war in Ukraine.
Give Marsha a break--keyboards these days have so much AI built in that they try to anticipate spellings and word choices. We all know she meant "Well spoken, Maria."
I do not understand why "king" was adopted to describe tRump re: No Kings Day. Nothing in its definition except "male" applies to him. "Knave" is my preferred term because its definition applies to him in every respect: scoundrel, dishonest, worthless, base, criminal, thug, evil, swindler, cheat, good-for-nothing, unprincipled person, lowlife, reprobate, scumbag, sleaze bag, bully, sociopath, unscrupulous, and on and on.
You described trump well, but failed to note that he has said he wants to be "king" and posted pictures of himself with a royal crown. Hence the No Kings Day rally was so named.
We do NOT have it. Trump IS a dictator. And "they" are everyone who supports him. Do we SERIOUSLY need to explain this to you? What rock are you residing under?
Didnt Kristi Noem promise to “liberate” CA of its elected representative government through the use of the military? How are we a representative Constitutional democracy if the federal government can step in and “liberate” us of our elected representatives?
Im not calling for regime change. I just dont believe we are a rep democracy.
Doesn't anyone want to know why Noem and Miller and Hegseth aren't arrested for breaking the law??? It's FINE in Los Angeles--no violence. Except for the horrific ICE raids on normal hardworking people. Food in fields is now rotting because people aren't coming to work to pick them, restaurant workers aren't working, women whose husbands have been kidnapped can't make rent, their kids are scared--some kids have been taken!!
The economy in LA and in California is being crippled due to NOEM and MILLER.
We know why our kneecapped GOP majority Congress isn't calling for their arrests. But why aren't the Democrats calling for it?? Why are WE THE PEOPLE not calling for it--daily? Or a court-martial! The Military are supposed to be protecting US, not private ICE contractors!!
Noem et. al. are not elected officials. They are regular people appointed to high profile jobs. It seems that "regular people with high profile jobs" still break laws and can still get arrested. Hope Aaron does a piece on why this is NOT yet happening.
Watch that BBB like a hawk. Democrats are not talking about the part that gives Noem and ICE an enormous budget for the future. Guess who they're coming for next? Iranian Americans and assoc. ... Because Iran threatened "sleeper cells" here we are truly looking ahead to more tragic abductions from ICE.
We are no longer a Democratic country. We are an authoritarian country run by a malignant narcissist, a madman and a psychopath.😡😡👺😡 American people are fucked😡😡👺
There's still hope. Cameron already has signs up, running for US Senate in 2026. We should put up signs saying "Vote Anti-Trump in 2026." And call our representatives, telling them to start impeachment proceedings, or at least investigate why he didn't get congressional approval before this unprovoked attack.
I think it’s great that you still believe we will have elections in 2026 and that women will be allowed to vote in them😡 I wish I could hold onto that hope but what I see is Trump continuing to do whatever he wants to do no matter what the people say😢😢😢
Unfortunately, we are headed in that direction. We need Republicans to get a spine and push back - get out of the right-wing echo chamber.
Last night's bombing is an international war crime. The president can deploy troops with the approval of Congress. He can't declare war without Congress. But he does whatever he wants, and Republicans won't call him out on it.
Trump conducts foreign policy with tweets and manages the media and his party with fear. That is his greatest tool.
So, maybe our House of Representatives needs to grow a pair and start impeachment proceedings against a President who is running amok and has no one in his Cabinet willing to keep his stuff in a neat pile.
That is because everyone of the Republicans in Congress have turned to Maga. They are Donald Trump‘s puppet. They are robot to the dictator. They speak only when they’re told to speak and they do everything. he tells them to do or they are threatened with their lives and none of them have a backbone or balls, but every one of them have ended their career😡😡👺😡😡👺
Judy, I understand that you want what all of our historical documents say is true, to be true. But it isn’t right now. There is ZERO balance of power. Why? Because not enough Republicans will stand up and support the Constitution and America. They are in lock-step to support a doddering old reality show host, who continues to treat his new job in that light, while he slips into dementia, and who knows what else. It is a regime, not an administration. Vance may be worse, but he does not have the money or power to ever have the influence that the current Oval Office occupant has.
The United States of America is a Constitutional Democratic Republic.
Democratic Republic has absolutely nothing to do with democrats or republicans, of which I don't believe there are any republicans. All elected officials are maga. The Party of trump.
It means the US follows the Constitution as the ultimate law (which maga know zero about). trump has broken so many amendments.
We are a Democracy, meaning We The People have the ultimate power because we rule with elections.
We are a Republic, because our government has a chief of state who is not a monarch and who now is called a president. We're a government in which supreme power resides in a body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by elected officers and representatives responsible to them and governing according to law.
The trump regime doesn't believe in The Constitution, they don't believe that We The People have power whatsoever, and trump has taken away the voices of our elected officials. They don't believe in laws. trump has been sued many times over, he's appealed all the way to the Supreme Court. Most times he loses. trump goes against their ruling anyway. That isn't a law abidding person.
trump is a fascist authoritarian. What trump and his regime are doing has nothing, 0, nadda, zip, to do with prior administrations, unless Hegseth mean trumps. trump has blamed others for decades of triggering WW3, when in reality it was trump himself that triggered it.
Learn Judy. Research topics instead of posting shit that makes you look absolutely ridiculous.
It's this sort of magical thinking that has some of you failing to grasp or act on what is actually happening daily in our country. I really hope you wake up and can help us resist, before it's too late.
Lady just because you like the cyanide in the kool-Aid doesn’t mean the rest of have too. You don’t mind be controlled doesn’t mean the rest of us do. Your sense of freedom is okay with people being snatched up in churches & throwing them in cages to rot without any real proof that they commit hideous crimes. Like that 2 year old with cancer. Texas farmer are finding out the hard way. If y’all have your way we would to change the name of country to something that align with Dictatorship because this wouldn’t be America at all, America means freedom.
I can't stand Hesgeth. He is always pointing to the previous administration. We are six months in -he owns it now. Has anyone read his books? They are hateful and spiteful rants against the military. I want to rip that handkerchief out of his pocket. Wearing it does not make him patriotic. He looks like the fool he is.
He’s a wannabe. He wants to be respected but he knows from his command down he is an unqualified ass kisser. Well he is a qualified ass kisser, you know what I mean 🙂😄.
Since you were unclear in your post…, are you saying the asshats were the previous admin or were you saying this admin are asshats for blaming the previous admin? Your comment can be read either way.
We may not be “at war” with Iran but I suspect they will be quite happy to bring war to us. We have forty thousand troops around outside of Iran at various bases. I hope they stay as safe as possible. They are at significant risk.
It's another infantile cheat, "you can't get me back, because PEACE" "hey you can't bomb me, I was only going after your nuclear sites" on the playground kids can walk away from the cheater in disgust. We... we can't undo this. I wish the people around Mr poopypants suffer more than anyone else under the weight of this horrible, horrible decision. All this and we still know your birthday party was lame, poopypants
I apologize on behalf of my entire country for the actions of our sitting president. I ask that other countries stop reporting “The United States attacked…” and replace that with “Donald Trump attacked….” Holding our country responsible for his actions is like punishing an entire family because one member is dysregulated, misguided, and destructive. Please note that many of us did not vote for him. We are living in fear under his presidency. We want peace.
Thank you for this statement! My daughter was visiting Nova Scotia this past week. She met an older woman and apologized for what our country has done and is doing. The woman appreciated my daughter's comment and said, " Nova Scotia feels like our best friend just broke up with us." How sad it that?!
It is sad. It’s horrible to feel responsible for the actions of someone with whom we do not share the same values or intentions but are inherently bound to because of where we were born geographically.
This is why the American people need to take voting FAR more seriously, starting with "DO IT!" And going on with "Hold their feet to the fire." And finishing with "fire the pants off 'em, prosecute, convict, and incarcerate, if they don't obey the law and work solely for the People's interests."
The USA is undergoing a slo-mo, traitorous insurrection. Every day that we don't ACT to stop it, more doors close on our freedom, decency, humane governance, and the rule of law. I'm looking at YOU, judges and Supremes! And YOU, House Representatives. And YOU Senators. And most of all, YOU, fellow Americans!
This is Israel’s fault. Netanyahu is the problem and he must be stopped. Has everyone forgotten that they are actively committing a genocide, and starving innocents to death?
While that may be true, trump didn't have to jump off the bridge with him. For reference, my mom used to say, if all your friends jumped off a bridge, would you jump too? My response was, depends on how high the bridge was. Grounded for 2 days.....
Trump did it for Israel. Why? Because Netanyahu stroked his fragile ego. The problems in the Mideast are US|israel born and continuously fed. It wont end up well for American citizens who will inevitably fight Israel’s war (again) and face potential terrorism at home and abroad.
Interesting that Putin bombed Ukraine on the same night after Trump had an hour-long conversation with him. Then Trump bails on the G7, avoiding a meeting with Putin and Zelensky.
Trump conducts foreign policy with social media. He warns Iran to evacuate Tehran.
This will give him a win for his base, overshadowing his losses.
Trump had a really bad week. NO KINGS outshined his birthday bash, G7 left him cold shouldered and outcast, Elon wasn’t near to shield, immigration round up admittedly “needs changes”. This was past 7 days. He was looking for another game to maybe shine. When will our government step in and stop this madness?
I dont understand the hold he has over the US but this isnt the first time Netanyahu has caused us to fight his wars. Regime change must happen in Israel.
I'm genuinely starting to wonder what the Israeli government has on the US government. What's the dirt? What's the tea? As long as our government continues being subordinate to them, they have no reason to ever drop that info
Which makes him no better than our narcissist in chief. It's their war not ours. Netanyahu needs to fight this out on his own. But, as someone else said, I'm sure there is a grift involved for tRump in this disaster.
Actually, we helped create Israel after WWII. So.... But this is going way too far. Won't help Ukraine, who GAVE UP ITS NUKES when asked, but attacks Iran for Israel, who has a very sophisticated military???
HES pushing propaganda videos/commercials on YouTube Tv & YouTube.. I had to do a double take when I first saw it, I thought I had accidentally changed the channel
My feelings exactly! We can’t support Ukraine in defending itself, but don’t hesitate to go all in in partnership with Netanyahu who is virtually killing non-combatants on a daily basis.
Netanyahu is doing what he believes he has to do to protect Israel. (Didn't the land originally belong to someone else?) If, however, he asked Trump to help demolish the Iranian power plants, shame on him. I get the feeling Trump took this one up on his own. Let me know if I'm wrong, Aaron.
No. Netanyahu is doing what he must do to stay in power: wage another war he started. He is wildly unpopular and if you read credible Israeli news sources, Israelis have been protesting for months.
Trump Hurtles Us Into The Unknown - his attack on Iran threatens to send the entire region up in flames
by MARK MANSOUR
JUN 22
Donald Trump’s decision to order airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities yesterday evening represents one of the most dangerous and reckless foreign policy and military gambits in recent American history. It was a devastating blow to our international credibility and a violation of the War Powers Act.
His very brief speech last night was an incoherent, boastful and warmongering mess. He overtly threatened more military action and did so with evident relish. He is no president; he is a disgrace to the office and to the nation he professes to represent.
Far from protecting American interests or advancing world peace, these bombings have plunged the Middle East into deeper chaos, alienated key allies, and significantly increased the risk of terrorist attacks against Americans at home and abroad.
Rather than deterring Iran, the strikes will unite its population behind hardline leaders and fuel outrage across the region. European diplomats will abandon ongoing negotiations, and Iran’s regime will move to retaliate against American targets. This escalation has left the United States isolated and vulnerable, with the probability of imminent threats from Iranian proxies and sleeper cells worldwide.
By attacking Iranian soil, Trump has handed Tehran a powerful propaganda tool and a clear motive for revenge. Iran’s extensive network of militant groups—including Hezbollah and others—will be re-activated, and Americans are now under heightened threat of terror attacks, both overseas and potentially on U.S. soil. The State Department has issued urgent warnings for Americans in the region, while we will have to brace for a wave of cyberattacks, bombings, and assassinations.
Instead of demonstrating strength, Trump’s actions have left the world more unstable and Americans more at risk. The chance for diplomatic solutions has been shattered, and the specter of a wider war now looms over the region. This is not a strategy for peace or security—it is a dangerous gamble that endangers every American and threatens world stability.
Damn every American who voted for this tyrant and idiot.
Fix education first. If the voters were not ignorant idiots, most of them wouldn't have voted for Donald Trump or any of his minions, handlers, owners, hand-chosen legislative candidates, or Psycho-phants. Trump represents (has been bought by) a cadre of would-be oligarchs. They have no interest in perpetuating a functioning, prosperous democracy.
NO democracy can survive a substantially ignorant electorate. US Education needs to become world-class, evidence-based, devoid of enforced bigotry or religious doctrine and exclusivity, generously funded, freely accessible everywhere, life-long, and designed for the 21st Century, NOT the 19th. We need to get all over this issue, PRONTO!!
• Reporter asks if Iran, North Korea, China, and others might join forces to retaliate; Hegseth responds: “Unfortunately, because of the policies of the previous administration, we drove those countries together.”
Funny how Hegseth blames the last admin, but nations like Iran, China, North Korea, and Russia always tighten unity when they feel U.S. pressure, whether it’s from sanctions, military moves, or tough diplomacy. This isn’t about Biden alone, it’s about the long standing dynamics of adversaries reacting to U.S. policy! I’m so tired of all the deflection they do. This Regime HAS to go. We will not make it out as the country we’ve all known and loved if we don’t get them out.
It is so eerie how one man can have such a nasty ripple effect across the WORLD. His illegal actions didn’t just affect the US, it affects the world. NO ONE should have this much power
We want “regime “ change in the USA!
THIS PART!! ☝🏼
No. You don't. We are not a regime. We are a republic with democracy and a Constitution that needs to be re-read. Imagine what that would look like.
Well let's see... we have the president who had violated the Constitution multiple times. Said president is also a convicted felon who has been credibly accused of SA by multiple women.
We have Congress majority that allows the said president to do whatever the heck he wants.
We have an incompetent, prejudiced cabinet.
We have masked goons with guns snatching people off the streets without cause and throwing them into the slammer without due process.
Tell me again that part about democracy! I mean... you can keep telling yourself that that's what we have. Maybe it will sink in when you are the one grabbed off the street.
Maria--Would you be interested in running for Congress? It would be awfully nice to have someone with a working brain there.
I am a foreign, female, bisexual, autistic, SA survivor witch. I will get shot. I already get death threats just for doing daily reports on the war in Ukraine.
Good lord. Keep spreading the word and be safe. What is "SA" survivor?
Sexual Assault
Bless you…
Please just keep reporting the news. You are doing a great job!
Maria, I couldn’t have said it better.
I know it's hard to list and remember all of his defects (because there are so many) but you forgot that he is also a pedophile.
No I didn't forget. I just didn't want to amplify the sheer revulsion factor - it's kind of astronomical already.
That is completely fair!
That's it!
I could have said it better.
Couldn’t
Couldn’t
You could? Or couldn't? Which is it? You stated both in separate comments.
Give Marsha a break--keyboards these days have so much AI built in that they try to anticipate spellings and word choices. We all know she meant "Well spoken, Maria."
Thanks for having my back, Geri!
It was 2 separate posts. Not a mispelling. So GIVE ME A F'ING BREAK form your sanctimonious crap.
I think you meant Judy or Judith.
Let’s attack each other for stupid shit, that’s going to fix everything 🙄
THANK YOU.
You said it just fine! We all knew what you meant. Anyone wanna address Judy’s “point”?
Rereading it doesn’t fix it
…….they have no comprehension.
It can be read and followed by people
What makes you think it needs to be fixed? Who is "they?"
What type of regime would you like to see?
I would prefer a real democracy. The kind without a king.
I do not understand why "king" was adopted to describe tRump re: No Kings Day. Nothing in its definition except "male" applies to him. "Knave" is my preferred term because its definition applies to him in every respect: scoundrel, dishonest, worthless, base, criminal, thug, evil, swindler, cheat, good-for-nothing, unprincipled person, lowlife, reprobate, scumbag, sleaze bag, bully, sociopath, unscrupulous, and on and on.
You described trump well, but failed to note that he has said he wants to be "king" and posted pictures of himself with a royal crown. Hence the No Kings Day rally was so named.
We have that now, despite Trump wanting to be a dictator. Who is "they?"
We do NOT have it. Trump IS a dictator. And "they" are everyone who supports him. Do we SERIOUSLY need to explain this to you? What rock are you residing under?
The is he. Trump has stated he will be a dictator from day one and his supporters loved that idea.
One that likes people from birth to death, black, brown, white, but no orange, and don't want folks to go hungry and without health care.
They is the orange man and his minions.
Thank you.
Didnt Kristi Noem promise to “liberate” CA of its elected representative government through the use of the military? How are we a representative Constitutional democracy if the federal government can step in and “liberate” us of our elected representatives?

Yeah, I've been told I'm a bit of an optimist. I blame it on the "Be Prepared," culture of my youth.
We need optimists. GO Geri!!!
I understand but I feel like we are living under a Regime. There is Not one Rebulican that will Change any of this 😔
Unfortunately, we are headed in that direction. We need Republicans to get a spine and push back - get out of the right-wing echo chamber.

What's his show "The Apprentice"?, now we know who the true apprentice was--TRUMP
And I got the auto spell. Should have read "Wasn't his show "The Apprentice."
No, Trump was the jerk and poser. Still is.
I think we lost that already. If Elon stole the 2024, we will never have fair elections again.
You said it! Even if they can prove it was stolen, how can it be reversed, especially when we're at war?
Yes That is why we are at war
Yes we do want a regime change.
We want our democratic republic back so we can keep course correcting it. Not massacre and desecrate it.
This is not a time to be naive or a Pollyanna.
There is no pony around just because you see a pile of caca.
Wake up Judy
Have you read the Constitution? How about studying history?
Yes. See, I am an immigrant - so I had to, for my civics test. Have you?
The constitution? The one that Donald Trump has shredded and no longer exist? That constitution?😡😡😡👺👺👺👺😡😡
The United States of America is a Constitutional Democratic Republic.

Lady just because you like the cyanide in the kool-Aid doesn’t mean the rest of have too. You don’t mind be controlled doesn’t mean the rest of us do. Your sense of freedom is okay with people being snatched up in churches & throwing them in cages to rot without any real proof that they commit hideous crimes. Like that 2 year old with cancer. Texas farmer are finding out the hard way. If y’all have your way we would to change the name of country to something that align with Dictatorship because this wouldn’t be America at all, America means freedom.
I’m imagining people who CAN READ?
I live in California. No, we don’t.
I know what it looks like; I live in California.
soon, like tomorrow
As usual, blame the previous administration.. a$$hats
I can't stand Hesgeth. He is always pointing to the previous administration. We are six months in -he owns it now. Has anyone read his books? They are hateful and spiteful rants against the military. I want to rip that handkerchief out of his pocket. Wearing it does not make him patriotic. He looks like the fool he is.
He’s a wannabe. He wants to be respected but he knows from his command down he is an unqualified ass kisser. Well he is a qualified ass kisser, you know what I mean 🙂😄.
Total!
Every single time.
Since you were unclear in your post…, are you saying the asshats were the previous admin or were you saying this admin are asshats for blaming the previous admin? Your comment can be read either way.
He truly thinks he can do whatever he wants, no one will ever hold him accountable it’s disgusting. Kamala literally told us this would happen.
Really? This is Kamala’s fault??
How stupid is that MFing Vance! When you bomb another country, I don’t care what you bomb them for, you are at war with that country 🤬!
He really said that we’re not at war with Iran but at war with their military plant like what????????? Smh.
We may not be “at war” with Iran but I suspect they will be quite happy to bring war to us. We have forty thousand troops around outside of Iran at various bases. I hope they stay as safe as possible. They are at significant risk.
It's another infantile cheat, "you can't get me back, because PEACE" "hey you can't bomb me, I was only going after your nuclear sites" on the playground kids can walk away from the cheater in disgust. We... we can't undo this. I wish the people around Mr poopypants suffer more than anyone else under the weight of this horrible, horrible decision. All this and we still know your birthday party was lame, poopypants
I apologize on behalf of my entire country for the actions of our sitting president.

Thank you for this statement! My daughter was visiting Nova Scotia this past week. She met an older woman and apologized for what our country has done and is doing. The woman appreciated my daughter's comment and said, " Nova Scotia feels like our best friend just broke up with us." How sad it that?!
It is sad. It’s horrible to feel responsible for the actions of someone with whom we do not share the same values or intentions but are inherently bound to because of where we were born geographically.
This is why the American people need to take voting FAR more seriously, starting with "DO IT!" And going on with "Hold their feet to the fire." And finishing with "fire the pants off 'em, prosecute, convict, and incarcerate, if they don't obey the law and work solely for the People's interests."
The USA is undergoing a slo-mo, traitorous insurrection. Every day that we don't ACT to stop it, more doors close on our freedom, decency, humane governance, and the rule of law. I'm looking at YOU, judges and Supremes! And YOU, House Representatives. And YOU Senators. And most of all, YOU, fellow Americans!
We get the government we earn.
Yes, and…
As long as we only have a two party system, we only have the illusion of choice.
Sad but wise.
Amen!
Just sent you Venmo to get you some coffee today ☺️
Thank you :)
This is Israel’s fault. Netanyahu is the problem and he must be stopped. Has everyone forgotten that they are actively committing a genocide, and starving innocents to death?
While that may be true, trump didn't have to jump off the bridge with him. For reference, my mom used to say, if all your friends jumped off a bridge, would you jump too? My response was, depends on how high the bridge was. Grounded for 2 days.....

Trump conducts foreign policy with social media. He warns Iran to evacuate Tehran.
This will give him a win for his base, overshadowing his losses.
I’m wondering how much Israel put into Trump’s cryptocurrency to help nudge him toward this decision.
All Israel had to do was say he’d win the Nobel Peace prize or claim he’s God’s chosen ambassador or some crap like that and Trump likely jumped.
Trump had a really bad week. NO KINGS outshined his birthday bash, G7 left him cold shouldered and outcast, Elon wasn’t near to shield, immigration round up admittedly “needs changes”. This was past 7 days. He was looking for another game to maybe shine. When will our government step in and stop this madness?
Personally I feel Trump helped so he can obtain the Nobel Peace Prize 😡
You misspelled "piece."
Agreed.
Our Mother's must have been in the same circle! I used to respond "it depends if there is water underneath". We were amazing teenagers 🤣🤣🤣
I agree! Netanyahu is trigger happy and power hungry….so how long do you think the bromance will last?
I dont understand the hold he has over the US but this isnt the first time Netanyahu has caused us to fight his wars. Regime change must happen in Israel.
I'm genuinely starting to wonder what the Israeli government has on the US government. What's the dirt? What's the tea? As long as our government continues being subordinate to them, they have no reason to ever drop that info
Regime change must happen in America!!
Lots of rich people in the USA have ties to Israel.
Which makes him no better than our narcissist in chief. It's their war not ours. Netanyahu needs to fight this out on his own. But, as someone else said, I'm sure there is a grift involved for tRump in this disaster.
Actually, we helped create Israel after WWII. So.... But this is going way too far. Won't help Ukraine, who GAVE UP ITS NUKES when asked, but attacks Iran for Israel, who has a very sophisticated military???
Time for regime change in Israel!
Time for a regime change in Israel AND the U.S.
HES pushing propaganda videos/commercials on YouTube Tv & YouTube.. I had to do a double take when I first saw it, I thought I had accidentally changed the channel
Its called Hasbara and has been studied extensively by US and foreign intelligence. Israel is the terr*r state it claims of others.
Netanyahu is pushing the same type of agenda that Jews (and other groups) had to flee in Nazi Germany and so is Diaper Don.
My feelings exactly! We can’t support Ukraine in defending itself, but don’t hesitate to go all in in partnership with Netanyahu who is virtually killing non-combatants on a daily basis.
Netanyahu is doing what he believes he has to do to protect Israel. (Didn't the land originally belong to someone else?) If, however, he asked Trump to help demolish the Iranian power plants, shame on him. I get the feeling Trump took this one up on his own. Let me know if I'm wrong, Aaron.
No. Netanyahu is doing what he must do to stay in power: wage another war he started. He is wildly unpopular and if you read credible Israeli news sources, Israelis have been protesting for months.
Oh BULLSHIT!
The world sees it all. Israel is a terr*rist state.
RIGHT.
We must still peacefully protest: do not let fear keep us silent! We must resist!
Fuck these assholes. My Republican Rep and two Senators are going to hear it tomorrow morning..
kegseth has some set of balls blaming Biden when it was Trump who tore up the nuclear agreement in 2018.
Trump Hurtles Us Into The Unknown - his attack on Iran threatens to send the entire region up in flames
by MARK MANSOUR
JUN 22
Donald Trump’s decision to order airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities yesterday evening represents one of the most dangerous and reckless foreign policy and military gambits in recent American history. It was a devastating blow to our international credibility and a violation of the War Powers Act.
His very brief speech last night was an incoherent, boastful and warmongering mess. He overtly threatened more military action and did so with evident relish. He is no president; he is a disgrace to the office and to the nation he professes to represent.
Far from protecting American interests or advancing world peace, these bombings have plunged the Middle East into deeper chaos, alienated key allies, and significantly increased the risk of terrorist attacks against Americans at home and abroad.
Rather than deterring Iran, the strikes will unite its population behind hardline leaders and fuel outrage across the region. European diplomats will abandon ongoing negotiations, and Iran’s regime will move to retaliate against American targets. This escalation has left the United States isolated and vulnerable, with the probability of imminent threats from Iranian proxies and sleeper cells worldwide.
By attacking Iranian soil, Trump has handed Tehran a powerful propaganda tool and a clear motive for revenge. Iran’s extensive network of militant groups—including Hezbollah and others—will be re-activated, and Americans are now under heightened threat of terror attacks, both overseas and potentially on U.S. soil. The State Department has issued urgent warnings for Americans in the region, while we will have to brace for a wave of cyberattacks, bombings, and assassinations.
Instead of demonstrating strength, Trump’s actions have left the world more unstable and Americans more at risk. The chance for diplomatic solutions has been shattered, and the specter of a wider war now looms over the region. This is not a strategy for peace or security—it is a dangerous gamble that endangers every American and threatens world stability.
Damn every American who voted for this tyrant and idiot.

Fix education first. If the voters were not ignorant idiots, most of them wouldn't have voted for Donald Trump or any of his minions, handlers, owners, hand-chosen legislative candidates, or Psycho-phants. Trump represents (has been bought by) a cadre of would-be oligarchs. They have no interest in perpetuating a functioning, prosperous democracy.
NO democracy can survive a substantially ignorant electorate. US Education needs to become world-class, evidence-based, devoid of enforced bigotry or religious doctrine and exclusivity, generously funded, freely accessible everywhere, life-long, and designed for the 21st Century, NOT the 19th. We need to get all over this issue, PRONTO!!
No kings! No fear! Democracy is here!
Let’s keep singing the no kings anthems as we protest to fight fascism: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/no-kings-anthem
• Reporter asks if Iran, North Korea, China, and others might join forces to retaliate; Hegseth responds: “Unfortunately, because of the policies of the previous administration, we drove those countries together.”
i'm so effing SICK of their lies!!!!
Funny how Hegseth blames the last admin, but nations like Iran, China, North Korea, and Russia always tighten unity when they feel U.S. pressure, whether it’s from sanctions, military moves, or tough diplomacy. This isn’t about Biden alone, it’s about the long standing dynamics of adversaries reacting to U.S. policy! I’m so tired of all the deflection they do. This Regime HAS to go. We will not make it out as the country we’ve all known and loved if we don’t get them out.
It is so eerie how one man can have such a nasty ripple effect across the WORLD. His illegal actions didn’t just affect the US, it affects the world. NO ONE should have this much power
Impeachment should be the theme of the next protest!🪧 We need to push it, and not let up!🤜🤛🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸✌️
Impeachment and removal! Let's not forget that he was already impeached twice and yet here we are.
Absolutely
At what point are we going to demand Impeachment and removal of this most incompetent president?
