Flight-tracking websites showed dozens of Air Force aerial refueling planes departing from military bases in the United States and heading to Europe on Sunday, fueling speculation of direct U.S. involvement in the widening Israeli-Iranian war.

Military-focused news sites reported that around 30 U.S. Air Force KC-135R and KC-46A tankers were identified by flight-tracking software in what The Times of Israelcalled an “unprecedented mass deployment” to Europe.

    Oddly trying to do anything to form a new progressive is also something they don’t seem interested in either.

    Its okay to not like liberals, but that part of my original comment is important.

        Same, but

        A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they know they shall never sit.

        We still need to get the ball rolling. The institutions and networks we need will take a lot of time to build. I know a lot of our fellow lefties don’t want to interact with anything government, but doing so with the goals of harm reduction gives us space to lay the roots and set up the next generation for success. If we are serious about things we need follow ups for our protests and making the best efforts we can in our sub-ideal situations.

          I would rather build a real, actual house for people than a system of oppression built on violence.

          And before you say “habitat for humanity Jimmy Carter “ it’s the same catty bureaucracy I’ve found everywhere.

            And that does not happen overnight, if you don’t follow up protests, and some voting.

              Bitch I’ve been voting for a quarter fucking century.

              I protested the fucking Iraq war II and it still fucking happened.

              Keep telling me this bullshit actually works like I’m some fucking eighteen year old.

              Democracy is broken
