Fifty-nine days into 2026, the United States is at war with a third country.

Donald Trump launched joint strikes with Israel across Iran tonight, and Tehran retaliated against U.S. bases in four Gulf states. In January he sent Special Forces to kidnap Venezuela's president. Since December he's been bombing Syria under an operation named after two dead Iowa guardsmen, hitting over 100 targets with hundreds of precision munitions. Congress didn't authorize any of it.

And he's not done. Friday morning on the White House lawn, hours before the first bombs hit Iran, Trump told reporters he's eyeing a "friendly takeover" of Cuba. In January he ordered the Joint Chiefs to draw up plans for invading Greenland, threatened tariffs on eight NATO allies who objected, and announced he was sending a hospital ship to a country with free healthcare that never asked for one. This administration looks at the globe and sees a menu.

Call your representatives and demand they invoke the War Powers Act on Iran immediately. Congress declares war under the Constitution, and it's past time to demand they act like it.

Gotta be honest, racism aside, #14 has me giggling.

No 2: tRump is causing the deaths of Israelis and Americans. What a weak, unskilled negotiator.

All these events really feel like they'll get whitewashed in the coming decades. All the more important to keep ourselves grounded and informed. Thank you as always, OP.

So, its great that trump said that NATO and British soldiers 'stayed back' during the last middle east war. It means that the usa will have no problem going it alone this time around with no help from anyone else. He already said that he believes no one will come to the us aid in another conflict.

Further, israel 'preemptively' strikes yet ANOTHER country, and then blerts out they have the right to defend themselves. Fucking geniuses.

#8, so either Altman is lying and we're about to see skynet lite for real or there's bribes going on between the govmnt and openai (again)

well fuck, didnt know the attacks on iran already started, was obvious it was going to happen though. Wonder if this is whats going to kick off ww3 or the inevitable attack on the eu/greenland/canada/mexico that'll happen if the tangerine shitstain continues breathing.

Venezuela was the start, Israel and USA attacking Iran is continuation, Cuba, Greenland and Canada are all in peril with this "republican great again" bullshit.

We've gone from "they have WMDs" to "Isreal started it, lets join in". I'd say it's refreshingly honest, but there's nothing refreshing about the US and their allies (inlcuding my country) OR Russia and theirs continuing the episodal war mongering for power. People need to stop being such bastards.

As much as I wish for that, it won't change much. His value to his puppeteer(s) has waned. The tech bros don't need him, Russia and Israel don't need him; they have Rubio, the Drunk, and other paid for politicians.
He is helpful to them, sure but the main pieces of the puzzle are long in place. If he keeled over right now, it wouldn't worry the people who are the real problems. The fascist take over is decades long and they have a plan if/when their golden goose dies.

#2 Great. So the system I've been paying into for 46 years is going to be empty before I even get to retire. Can I sue to get that money back?

If they ruled that you can’t sue the USPS for intentionally not doing their job i seriously doubt it

#7 When Pete says “Enemy Ideologies”, what he really means is “Antifascist Ideologies”.

they are following the step 1 genocide play book to categorize Dems/Liberals the "enemy of the people' rage-bait for their cult to rally them so the admin can engage in horrific violence and have their cult cheer them on. See also: Minnesota

This one, of this post, disturbed me the most. It falls in line with the "enemy within" rhetoric the Trump administration has been using for a while now so it's not surprising. Still, they see large parts of the U.S. population as targets, not fellow citizens, to be attacked. I honestly think they would/will enact an ideological genocide in the U.S..

I mean, sure that's the big reason. But he has such a disdain for people who learn, who study for years to become genuine experts in their fields, who stop and think.

Basically he gives me the vibe of someone who watched a lot of 80s movies, cheered every time the bullies beat up the nerds, and yelled "This is bullshit!" at the tv when the bullies lost in the end.

Operation Epic Fury sounds like it was coined by a kid playing Fortnite with his bros.
