“We are up against an ideology that has given up— not only on the premise and promise of liberal democracy but on the livability of our shared world - on its beauty, on its people, on our children, on other species.
The forces we are up against have made peace with mass death. They are treasonous to this world and its human and non-human inhabitants.”

"Today, two old power-hungry, greedy, lawless men are in the process of killing countless hundreds and thousands of innocent human beings, while destabilizing a world they most likely won’t be living in a decade from now."

"Much of the Middle East is now being pulled in.
Iran is now being run by an interim leadership committee following the killing of the Ayatollah. Iranian leadership says that his death will not deter them. Their national security leadership has vowed retaliation against U.S. and Israeli targets 'with a force they have never experienced before.'”

“Earlier today, CENTCOM shared the news that 3 US military service members have been killed in action. And sadly, there will likely be more before it ends. That’s the way it is. Likely be more.”
~ Donald Trump quoted by Ron Filipkowski
"That's the way it is. Likely be more."

"Fascism is the moment where the concentration of wealth and power becomes so strong that they don't even have to hide their anti-human, anti-democratic aspirations. They can simply say the quiet part loud. People are going to die. We're going to revel in the cruelty of things."

"Donald Trump, reeling from the Epstein pedophile scandal, soaring inflation, and rotten poll numbers, launched an unprovoked regional war without congressional authorization — let alone a coherent rationale for the strikes across Iran."

"The strikes on Iran that began Friday were initiated unilaterally by the Trump administration, but are not unilateral internationally: Israel is also participating in the action. It's not surprising, given Trump's relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but it comes in the immediate aftermath of new Gallup polling showing how much more skeptical Americans are of Netanyahu's nation."

"What is there to say, really? More full blown Mad Kingism. No clear rationale, no consultation or approval from Congress, no discussion with the American people, no Coalition of the Willing (meaning no allies). Like with the tariffs, there is no version of what Trump is doing in Iran that can be considered faithful to the Constitution, US Law, or International Law."

"There’s a sense that the rich – the Epstein class – can act with impunity while everyone else pays the price. If Donald Trump doesn’t change the subject, his presidency, and perhaps more than his presidency, will cease to be as it is once the Congress is turned over to the Democrats."

"The point is creating a made-for-TV war that makes Trump look like a big, tough war president. He’s doing this for obvious reasons: things are going badly for him, very badly, at home. Freedoms are being violated. The middle class is being immiserated."

I'm pretty sick of waking up to another #war
It is high time we get rid of the mad white man who fuck up this world again and again
Miserable pieces of humans like #Trump and #Putin
They only make life harder for everyone, only care about themselves and should never be in a position of power
They serve us, we don't serve them..
