If you're a service member being ordered to prep for deployment for the War in Iran and you have moral and/or ethical misgivings on all this, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status.

“The efforts show the blurring of the lines between public service and private profit-seeking during Mr. Trump’s second term.”
That’s one way to put it
I almost forgot about that other illegal killing campaign Republicans are running
A cartoon of Pete Kefsbreath shouts at American flag-draped coffins: “STOP TRYING TO EMBARASS THE PRESIDENT!”
I was asked by Jake Tapper if my push to deny Trump funding for his illegal war with Iran was a failure to "support our troops".
My answer: refusing to repeat the mistakes of the past - sending soldiers to die in pointless Middle East wars - is how we support our troops
Trump has been compared to Hitler by world leaders, been called dangerous and unfit by 50 GOP national security experts, has been said to have a dangerous mental illness by psychiatrists, and is now launching an illegal war. Why is he still in office?

Was pleased to join the IRIS irisct.org Run with Refugees and All Immigrants. Great to see hundreds of community members joining the effort, too
It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing
Face it.
ICE HAS ALIENATED AMERICANS by slamming their victims faces into the ground, killing people, wearing masks, not identifying themselves and using “Gestapo” tactics on immigrants & citizens. Americans are resisting, as they should.
It is time to defund ICE!
Repost if you agree #BlueCrew
Bipartisan negotiators released a DHS funding bill that does not significantly reduce ICE and CBP’s funding nor rein in the agencies’ abuses of power.
Make no mistake: Any Democrat who votes for this bill is complicit in Trump’s campaign of terror.
Grow a spine and vote no.
Hire @fduffy.bsky.social !
Trump has shredded the Constitution. He's taken an axe to checks and balances. He's using the presidency to line his own pockets and the pockets of those around him. He says he is constrained only by his “own morality.”
When we say "No Kings," this is why.
One month ago, Trump pardoned former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández from a 45-year sentence for drug trafficking and weapons charges. The Trump administration doesn’t care about drugs or weapons, despite what it currently says about Venezuela’s Maduro.
Trump expands his mass kidnapping operations to other part of hemisphere
So Fran gets it with a final Week 1 score of 1-0-0?!
A devastating new milestone: key indicators confirm that conditions have officially reached famine levels in the #GazaStrip.
Our colleagues are on the ground doing everything possible to deliver for children in #Gaza, despite the immense challenges. Follow us for humanitarian updates. #promoted
Still not getting that democracy is gone, and we have a dictator running the country? Watch this!

First, they came for John Bolton
And I did speak out
Because even though I'm not a nutty right-wing warmonger with a ridiculous mustache,
I am an American who is horrified by a simple-minded tyrant using our Justice Department to avenge his petty, personal grudges.
ICE is hiring! US immigration and Customs Enforcement is looking for highly motivated, morally indifferent individuals to join our team. Open positions include: Senior Goon Racism Enforcement Office Unmarked Van Driver (Part-Time) Experience with children a plus usajobs.gov
From this month's edition of The Onion.
Migrants sent to El Salvador’s CECOT prison faced beatings, shaved heads, no drinkable water, no hygiene, and daily abuse - including sexual assault in “blind spots" not covered by cameras.
No charges. No due process. No trials. No justice.
Tell these stories! US media won't!
Donald Trump and Republicans just passed a bill that will:
- Kick 17 million people off their health insurance.
- Shut down 338 rural hospitals.
- Close 579 nursing homes.
This is obscene. People will still get sick — they just won’t have anywhere to go.
Republicans, before you vote to close 1 of 4 nursing homes, can you update us on where those people will go?
Maybe call a few seniors in your state and go over plans for where they go next?
Or call the son whose dad has dementia and tell him how he can be a full-time caregiver?

Just to be crystal clear: bombing Iran is completely illegal.
Need a distraction from #WorstPresidentEver? Old school hip-hop fans will love this, derived from a Bob James cover of a #PaulSimon song youtu.be/uIvRQSn9rWA?...
As our nation girds for possible Iranian terrorist attacks, this is the person Trump put in charge of terrorism prevention.
22 years old. Recent work experience: landscaping/grocery clerk.
Never worked a day in counter-terrorism. But he’s a BIG Trump fan. So he got the job.
Republicans want you to forget they’re ripping health care away from over 16 million people while Trump wages a new endless war against Iran.
That’s Republican leadership for you.
