We keep hearing new reasons for war with Iran—none convincing. “Free the oppressed” sounds noble, but where does it end? We’ve been told for decades Iran is weeks from a nuke. War should be a last resort, not our first move. A war of choice is not my choice. Liberty must come

From @commonwealmag: “The self-proclaimed ‘peace president’ has now launched seven military attacks on foreign nations since he returned to office.” Count me in w/ the leftcaths, libertarians like @RandPaul & @RepThomasMassie, & all the heartland weary who don’t support this war.

Something about the halftime show felt very Catholic to me. The sensuality, the embrace of life at all stages, the assertion of happiness and exhilaration in the face of annihilation. It had Resurrection energy.
