One of the biggest indicators that the US government views the American people as enemies is the insistence that FISA 702 be reauthorized year after year, despite the Edward Snowden revelations

Today you filed your taxes. Part of your money will fund a foreign government's military operations that a growing majority of Americans oppose. You weren't asked. You can't opt out. @ConnorOKeeffe on what Tax Day really means this year.

Zionism is consistent: Israel pretends to not be colonizers of Palestine; this billionaire-seeded, CBS News-owned Israeli propaganda outlet pretends to not be legacy media

Putting aside Trump’s poor understanding of economic principles, for a problem that he himself created… A few days ago, Trump said Iran’s entire civilization was going to die. Now he’s back to “fight for freedom in Iran.”

A two-week ceasefire. Already accused of violations. Brokered by the same government that bombed Iran during the last round of negotiations. @RyanMcMaken, @connorokeeffe, and @ThoBishop on whether this "peace" is real, or just the next phase of the war.

So that's what he meant by "Golden Age."
