In the great green room

there was a sickbed. And violence unseen

and a picture of—

a car crashing into a ravine.

Who needs shots when you have God on your side? 🥺🫣

Power without will is no power at all.

The Case for War, by Someone Whose Kids Won’t Die Fighting in It “The next days will be decisive. The best course for the United States is to spell out clearly to Iran what the paths of escalation — and de-escala...

"As someone whose kids won’t die fighting in the war, it’s important that you understand the flimsy, morally bankrupt justifications for war, and why it’s vital for you to throw more of your children's lives at this one."
