US begins ‘major combat operations’ in Iran

Here we go again and the Republican controlled Congress sits on their thumbs.

Remember this oldie?

Unreal. This senile criminal just does whatever he wants.

So much for “Donald the Dove”

But, but, but ... congress?

Besides, if their ability to make war was completely obliterated last June, why would this be necessary?

Resist.

If the institutions could stop this, they would have. But they haven't. If the Democrats could stop this they would have. But they haven't. No one is going to save us. We have to save ourselves.

Resist harder than you ever wanted to. Resist harder than you ever imagined you would. Authoritarians just keep oppressing harder and harder, until the are stopped. The sooner, the better.

The later, the worse.

Resist how, exactly?

Fund things. Help people. Participate in demonstrations. Participate in strikes. Do not cooperate, do not obey. Put as much sand in the gears as you can. Do things to make oppression harder and more expensive.

You can easily get into activities they may consider illegal. I won't get specific. Be careful out there.

there are volunteers in my neighborhood who put whistles, and basic advice about ICE and your rights, in everyone's mailbox here. That's an example.

There are volunteers who wait at ICE detention facilities to assist individuals when they are released, often with no phone, inadequate clothes, etc.

Kinda buried the Clinton testimony in the news .........

Plus the suspected clandestine connections mentioned between Epstein and Israel as a agent some wanted to investigate...

Then there is the Midterms going on too!

The Clintons testify, it didn't quite go as planned...
Connections between Epstein and Israel get mentioned...
and then Iran gets attacked.
Make no mistake. The attack wasn't some spur of the moment event. IMO it seems more like a contingency plan.
