It’s vitally important to remember that multiple things can be true at once.

1. We should not be engaged in war with Iran, and the US strikes were illegal and unjustified
2. Iran has been sponsoring terrorism for a long time
3. We can hate the position Trump and Hegseth have put us in without hating our troops

If we wish to be a land of laws and justice, and The Constitution reestablished as the law of the land, then Congress should assert its war powers and impeach Trump for violating our laws.

No one wanted this, but we’re all going to pay for it. We are going to pay in money, and we’re going to pay in blood.

There are many reasons Trump should be impeached, and there are several duties Congress has failed to fulfill.

Honestly, there isn’t much nuance here. As I understand it, we vaporized an elementary school.

Feel what you want to feel about the Iran government and their leaders, the people of Iran are innocent, and often victims themselves. It’s okay to grieve the loss of life. In fact, we should be grieving.

We should be grieving the loss of US lives. Last I heard, 4 troops have died, so far. Maybe it’s way more than that. Hegseth and Trump are both rather blasé about it, basically saying “It happens” and “They know what they signed up for.”

Our troops are not to blame. I’m repeating this because I’ve seen some stuff on social media that really twisted my stomach in knots. Yes, they’re volunteers. But trust me when I say that most of them didn’t volunteer for this, and they’re not in a position where they can easily unvolunteer.

Gas prices are going to go up, as will the prices of non-related products, which sucks. This is going to get worse before it gets better, and it’s all stupid and avoidable.

I am so, so tired.
