Some context on Trump assassinating Qassem Soleimani

Soleimani was Iran’s top military official and the second most powerful person in the country

People comparing this to drone strikes on people suspected of terrorism are missing this very important point. This was not a drone strike on a terrorist group. This was assassinating a high-level official from another country.

Trump had him assassinated without Congressional authorization. According to Pelosi, Congress wasn’t even notified. We found out about the attack when it was announced last night on Iraqi television.

Lindsay Graham is now saying he knew about the plan 2 days ago. This means he is either lying to make it seem less like Trump did this out of nowhere, or Trump is selectively briefing members of Congress who he’s friendly with.

The official justification for this assassination was Soleimani was “actively planning” an attack on Americans. Those of you who remember the lead up to the Iraq war may recognize this “preemptive strike” language.

Whether or not Soleimani was an “enemy” isn’t important. Putin is an enemy. North Korea threatens everyone. But there’s a reason we don’t just assassinate officials from other countries, even if they demonstrably don’t like us, and that’s because it can start a war

You might notice that those other examples I used have dangerous weapons of their own. That’s what is material here. Trump, in his zeal for destroying Obama’s legacy, threw out the Iran Nuclear Agreement. That agreement was a big deal because it brought Iran to the negotiating table for the first time in years. Now? Never again. But also, this is terrible for anyone who sincerely believes in the goal of global nuclear disarmament, because it’s essentially confirming that unless your country has the firepower to reasonably threaten others, there is no guarantee of safety, because the US won’t even hold to its own agreements. What incentive then is there to not build weapons of your own?

This act is just the latest bit of bizarre foreign policy decisions by the Trump administration. The Kurds helped us in the fight with Syria, and we betrayed them. Trump gives North Korea everything, including a public appearance with a US President, and they continue to threaten everyone with their missiles. Iran has an agreement with us, and we throw it away and kill their top general.

Please remember Trump is currently an impeached President, implicated in several crimes, in an election year.

So we’re stilling voting WHOEVER has the D next to their name during the presidential election right? We’re not gonna sit out and complain about trump winning like in 2016? Do we understand the concept of voting and how a candidate wins by having more votes?

And that’s not even IT because like: Imagine you had 1000$. Your rent, food budget including fancy restaurants, utilities, car payment, vacation expenses, EVERYTHING you could EVER WANT or NEED, cost 1$ for an entire ass year.  And you have 1000. And you keep making more all the time.

It’s not JUST that the amount is so tiny compared to how much they have, it’s that the amount that anybody could ever possibly need is so tiny compared to how much they have.

This is great stuff for situations where you’re dealing primarily with cops - just please keep in mind that one size does not necessarily fit all situations.

We’ve found locally, for instance, that nazis here like to use knives. A lot of knife injuries come from attempting to fend off an attack, and thus result in slashing injuries to the arms. Fortunately there are very light, flexible, and relatively inexpensive products originally intended for butchers to use that are great for this and will cover your whole arm or forearm.

Always research this stuff ahead of time and look at what other people in similar situations are doing and share the information you find. And remember that you don’t need to reinvent the wheel to protect yourself. And always mask up.

This persons comment wasn’t rebloggable but I felt was an important addition.

working full time is terrible why do we just accept that having 8 days off a month is normal and okay........ being alive could be cool but we waste it at our JOBS.... sorry i’m just heated about capitalism again i’ll be fine

[averagefairy]

not to be dramatic but the amount of people commenting on this post that I should stop whining and be grateful for having two days off a week when they only get one or none is...... literally proving my point that we’re all brainwashed ghfjhddjfk... thats like if someone cut off your arms and then only cut off one of mine, you focus on how much worse you have it instead of the fact that we’re still both fucking bleeding out 

[babyboomerbullshit]

well I sure hope so?

A couple things here…

1. How do you suppose the 1960 conservatives would react to the idea of a President who has close ties to the leader of Russia? What would they say about the fact that so many of his followers are literal Nazis?

2. If AOC appeared to be a lunatic to 1960 Americans, it would be because the principle thing she advocates for–the 70% marginal tax rate–was policy at that time. So she’d be running around going “Marginal tax rates should be 70%!” and everyone would go “…yes? They are? Shouldn’t you, a sitting member of Congress, know that?”

[freifraufischer]

The marginal tax rate in 1962 was 87% percent.

That’s how the 1960s had the money to build highways and go to the fucking moon.

any system where people are upset there lives were saved is not a system that works

to me, one of the weirdest things about our economy right now is the credential inflation 

like my dad got a job as a mechanic when he graduated high school, and he was employed with a high school diploma to a full time job with a union, and had health insurance and benefits. 

at this point, I have graduated from high school, have a Bachelor’s degree, have a Master’s Degree, have two years of experience working in my field, and am a due paying member of multiple professional organizations. And that qualifies me to compete in a two-stage interview process for a part time job that offers no health care.

This is what decades of stripping the working class of their rights looks like.

when millennials were first heading into high school and college there was a huge trend in news stories about how stressed out our kids are, how their backs are getting messed up from carrying so many books, how they’re sleeping less and doing more school work, and how we should do more to help our kids have the childhoods we had because our kids are falling apart from stress and being forced to be more productive than kids should be. but then once millennials started hitting the workforce all the news was about how millennials are lazy and narcissistic and entitled lmao you were real concerned about us until you found out a 23 year old is more qualified to do your job than you

[youreyesinstarsabove]

Omg I forgot about this

[taliabobalia]

roller backpacks became a Thing because parents were so Concerned that their kids backs were getting majorly busted from carrying around something like a hundred pounds of textbooks. and then ten years later they complained millennials all have bad posture and make their office look lazy.
