If they didn't speak for Gaza? THey will not do anything now. it is for US to pick up whatever we can, march, speak, write, protest to whoever we can, to say no.

If you want The Hague? Write a petition. This is not a point the finger time.

It's not the watch TV and tell your family how smart you are time. Action!

An expression I heard in Japan once "do not blame, fox".. Use our energy to be who we keep scolding them to be! Be the person who is capable of action!!

I intend to post this and then not sit still until the evil is stopped. I hope some of you can do the same. We bombed a country. NO ONE is going to pat us on the back or suddenly be the person we need, YOU and I must be that person. We watched, now we act

Two things : if Trump had not removed the US from the JCPOA, because he was jealous of Obama, there would have been NO justification or reason for this. I understand that the JCPOA was effective in it’s goal of containment. And why is he once again not believing his own intelligence experts in deference to a foreign leader? This is sick!

And he says nothing about the 90 odd nukes Israel has, but won’t acknowledge and sign onto oversight for!

Trump did not have the sense or brain to resist the goading from Israel. Trump felt that he lost the pissing contest and as all bullys do, he had to be the "bigger" man.

We must follow our plans, do what we can to risk us of them, Blame is uesless.

You does what is useless. What WE DO is everything. We resist. Speak out! March

I can't think of anything more important than speaking out as much as we can... while we STILL can!

I feel the same way! If you have a way, join Indivisible. They plan marches, peaceful protests, helps us makes call, write letters but best of all, we plan at our local meetings, ALso Indivisible co-founders Leah and Ezra zoom Thursdays. Noon PST.

Their zoom is ""What's the plan?" They hold steady, tell us what actions we can take, BASED on what is occuring. Best of all? The work is to rid ourselves of an authoritative Govenment. That's the eye on the prize. They were central to the No Kings rally and are cofounders. I am mostly so grateful that they DO NOT rant, but explain, since they both had experience working with Congress, the best route to take. They keep their eye on the Constitution. WIth their experience? Their timing is spot on. I watch, I feel empowered AND I have many things to do, go write and call.

I am so glad to be able to share this and if you already knew? It's nice to talk to a kindred spirit. We can do this. We will work doing the "boring stuff" that will bring the change to this govenment. Congress is the best bet because? They need our vote and at this point, they have to care what we say.

I joined last year. I have watched them grow, plan Hands Off, and of course, No KIngs

Keep in mind how many people protested and remember that THEY feel like we do.

And you are so perceptive. Many already cannot speak out, go places, work, even leave the house. If you already knew about them? THank you for giving me this space to let people know. THere are groups everywhere, AND in "red" states also.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom. This week, I will be listening to the zoom, Thursday and heard "what is the plan" For some of us? We just have to fight.

Welcome fellow fighter!!! Take care of yourself.

He CAN'T make a Deal on Comprehensive Immigration Reform and he CAN'T make a Deal regarding the Iranian nuclear situation. Once again he shows he cannot make a deal and instead causes harm and puts himself in the center, just like he always does....... His leadership skills are beyond horrible and always always makes things worse for everyone involved. "Everything Trump Touches Dies"

Iran could have a nuclear weapon within a month if China sells Iran the components in which it could put its refined nuclear material. Technically, China wouldn't be selling a weapon of mass destruction, since it would not include the key ingredient.

Why wouldn't Russia or China sell Iran another 100,000 hypersonic missiles?

Why wouldn't China sell Iran anything? How about an EMP? How about 100? Then the Iron Dome would be even more useless.

Could "Jeffrey Epstein blackmail tapes" play a role in the actions of American politicians? It's a much more likely scenario than "Common Sense" playing a role in our relations with Israel. Is it really just a combination of AIPAC's money and a herd mentality?

We shouldn't assume that Trump has a "Master Plan" because he probably doesn't know how to make one.

I expect decades of terrorist attacks; I didn't want to go to Israel anyway, not until it's all Palestine again.

I really wanted to visit Iran, but I wouldn't blame them if they refused to let any more Americans visit their lands.

I don't know, but I'm reading in Noam Chomsky's book, Understanding Power, and, just flipping through some pages, the word Mossad keeps popping up. It makes me believe that Israel is pulling the USA's strings, and not the opposite. What's really going on here?

Lucian Truscott predicted the bombings this weekend from his intel. Here is what I wrote about it.

https://lindaweide.substack.com/p/we-are-at-war-with-iran?r=f0qfn

I was listening to a talk on the Bulwark where Tim Miller said he was not worried about Iran targeting Atlanta with a nuke. However, now that we have joined Israel in bombing it I am going to be afraid to fly in this summer where I actually have to do transatlantic flying to take care of business. My daughter wants to fly to see friends. I am worried about bombs on my planes and other places.

Martin Belderson said that wars rarely end in less than a year. What are we in for?

Cheeto Junior Arrives in LA to Spew Propaganda

Cheeto Jr(JD Vance) showed up in LA to make a case for the his Nazi Gestapo tactics in terrorizing immigrant communities in Southern California Let’s remember that the underlying take away from the current Nazi regime is that EVERYTHING THEY SAY IS A LIE

Also remember that Cheeto Jr has said that in order to rebirth the country the Nazis will have to “burn it all down and start over” Yarvin his compadre in fascism has said that people will just have to get over their “dictatorphobia” And then there’s Cheeto Jr financier Thiel who oversees the Palantir software, playing the role as participant in trying to turn the US into the Third Reich

Now Cheeto Jr shows up in an LA presser to disrespect Senator Alex Padilla who was handcuffed by ICE and called him Jose Padilla(BTW convicted terrorist) to do “political theater” and an obvious racial slur Of course he called LA as a hell hole filled with criminals and rapists and thank God for the Nazi regime to round all these “terrible terrorists” up and protect federal buildings with troop deployment The Nazis need to protect Americans which is the basic problem

This was not serious Cheeto Jr was in LA to push the Nazi PROPAGANDA, a classic Cheeto Sr tactic

Trump says, "Mission Accomplished," because Condoleeza Netanyahu said we were "weeks away" from a "mushroom cloud."

I won't shed a tear for any American/Canadian/Brit/"Westerner" who dies for this bullshit rerun.
