I can't say I didn't expect djt to use this war in the middle east. I have been around long enough
to know there are people here in the oil industry to push for another excuse to get into Iran.
In general, the US population is undereducated about the oil industry. They are tightly tied to the plastic manufacturers, who have succeeded in getting these harmful products into every aspect of our lives. Many people are unaware of how the clothing/textile industries pollutes us by using oil to make polyester, coatings that prevent staining, & the overabundance of clothing consumed here in the US. The fast clothing that doesn't last, & is sold and shipped to countries in Africa, many buried in the ground where it seeps into water.
There were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and instead of continuing negotiations, and using the military as a last resort he has bypassed Congress and following what the Bush/Cheney administration did. He will now say, we are being threatened by terrorists from within, & use this as a excuse to put us under martial law.
It's no surprise that Iran retaliated today and since nobody in this evil administration cares about American citiziens, they are not being protected in countries that are under threat.
Nobody in the GOP has the brains to figure out that India, China, Russia & who knows who else supports Iran &would gladly see the US attacked. We still don't know the whole story about 9/11.This is djt's big power play. To start a 3rd world war? Any bunker that he could have would not protect him or anyone else with the powerful weapons that are available now, Since Elon deflated his ego,& defied him he has been looking for a chance to show the world that he is still the person who is most powerful in the world. And, this lunatic has nuclear codes??? He hates being called TACO, but he has started something that will be hard for him to get out of. And there probably is no end plan. I hope the Supreme Court is happy for giving a mentally deranged person immunity.
The opinion of Sarah Briere is right on point.For those of us who demonstrated during Vietnam, Iraq, the October 7th horror, and the genocide in Gaza, this is like a nightmare you can’t wake up from. However, that being said, there are those of us who will not stop sounding the alarm to ALL the people. Remember what Benny Franklin said: “We must all hang together, or we will hang separately.” Stay safe out there peeps.
Great food for thought today, and so many spot-on editorial cartoons! I particularly want to thank Mary Ann Granieri for her column on the "Trojan horse" (Peter Thiel, Stephen Miller, and their co-conspirators) who are the real decision-makers in the Trump administration. I wish more people could see through the "I am the Great and Powerful Oz" routine, and recognize that Trump is just a tool of these men and other billionaires who seek to destroy our democracy!
The regime has a playbook. They're implementing it. It's systematic. They've been planning for years. All we're doing is reacting. We need leadership in the form of grand master chess level strategic thinking to get ahead of their playbook and combat it. We are just floundering. We need to be in the game. All these moves are in the playbook, no point getting angry, wringing our hands. We need a general to marshal and direct our forces. Right now there's no leadership and no cohesive strategy to thwart this authoritarian onslaught.
Agree fully with Sarah B & Mr Snyder. So dismayed by current admin. & Congress. Horrified about ICE raids of non violent workers and families. Horror is our land not liberty.
I totally agree that Stephen Miller and Peter Thiel are pushing the buttons. Trump is just the stupid puppet, the show man who will do anything these two want. We have to stop them! We have to all take to the streets !!

What can we do to prevent a nuclear war?
Thanks for all you do.
