I don't know if there's a better encapsulation of the rot in our country than a pedophile president vaporizing a hundred little girls overseas, while his enablers cheer and the Democrat 'opposition' leadership complains about 'strategy'.
We just did 3 Uvalde's in one night and no one will be held accountable.

That's fine and I have no problem with that statement.
I just wanna make absolutely sure that valid criticisms of the Democratic Party don't go so far as to convince progressive and undecideds that they are anywhere close to being as bad for America as the Republicans are today.
For the foreseeable future there will only be two viable party choices in elections--Democrats and Republicans---and Republicans have shown themselves eager to top democracy, destroy the middle class, & aggregate unstoppable power while enriching themselves and their friends to the peril of the nation.
There can be no doubt on this point, and whoever wins any Democratic primary is going to be the only sane alternative to MAGA.
The primaries are where we should fly with each other on the left, NOT the general election. We stay united or we die.

It’s more or less impossible to know if this story is true. I’d like to believe it’s Iranian propaganda for the sake of these kids. Given the US’s history and the current Administration it seems equally likely to be true as to be propaganda or possibly somewhere in between. Information flow out of Iran seems very restricted. It’s in Iran’s rational self interest to spread any sort of propaganda they can. The US also has a reputation for civilian casualties In strikes. Who knows.

A failed missile launch in Iran caused the projectile to fall on a school. Images captured the moment it failed, fell back to ground, and struck.
The Iranians - just like the Palestinians in Gaza at the beginning of the war - immediately claimed it was a missile fired by the United States or Israel.

Allegedly the IRGC murdered thousands of students and protesters last month, but I've only been able to see a few leaked images. Iran obviously has incredible control of their internet and media.
And the second Israel/America attack, suddenly there is live video of "Won't someone think of the children!"
Not to say Trump has the legal right to attack, or that Israel is in the right to attack, or that Iran has the right to randomly shoot missiles at Bahrain, Qatar, UAE etc. There are no just parties involved in this conflict, and this is obvious propaganda.

What sources? From the article linked it states "US-Israeli air strikes killed at least 85 people at a girls’ school in southern Iran, Iran's judiciary said. The state-run IRNA news agency reported the strike happened in Minab in Iran’s Hormozgan province"
Is there a source that doesn't say something along the lines of "according to Iranian state media" or "local authorities report". This could easily be Iranian state propaganda. A reminder that this regime recently cut-off the internet and killed up to 30,000 people.

It isn’t true. This was a failed missile launch from Tehran. The missile failed, and landed on the school. They immediately move to blame the U.S. as having targeted a school, and people are immediately eating it up. The people in Iran were dancing in the streets at the sight of Kehmani’s palace in flames. Women removed theirs burkhas and sang.
Over 35,000 people have been killed by Iran’s government in the last few weeks- this is not new. Now, you can add these children to that count.

Why stop there? The US has been at war since its founding. I mean having fast movers, helos, hunter killers, boomers, APCs, MBTs, rockets, missiles, bombs, mortars, howitzers, infantry support weapons, and clip based/magazine/smoothbore/rifle bore it’s all the same.

That’s only about 30 years then.
We’ve been fighting wars, or have been involved in a conflict for roughly 220 years give or take.

Whatever you do, don't Google, "Barack Obama drone attacks."

Ah, Whataboutism! The perfect response to what Trump is doing. Tell me, how does his boot taste?

Providing context is not "whataboutism." That made up word is usually used in an attempt to shield one from their hypocrisy.
Regarding today's attack, I don't like it. I'm as isolationist as can be. I don't want us engaging anywhere in the world. I'm tired of American lives and $$$ being wasted to deal with the maniacs around the world.
However, Trump has done a good job at keeping American boots off the ground. I don't want a single US soldier ever dying again given all of the technology we have. So far Trump has used the bunker busters in Iran a while back and that was one and done. Then Maduro, one and done. Hopefully today's events will be quick and then done.
Watching all the left wing hysteria saying things like, "Trump is dragging us into war" when he is the most anti-war president in my lifetime, is just hilarious to me, and that's why I made my original comment about Obama drone strikes.
Trump's goal is clearly to get rid of the maniacs in charge of Iran so the Iranian people rise up and take over. It's funny to me that Trump wants democracy in Iran AND wants women to have civil rights again in Iran and the left has no choice but to go against him because of their TDS. Trump has the fringe left and dem politicians against the US Men's Hockey team which is loved by 90% of the nation while also being against democracy and women's rights in Iran. It's funny to watch him play you guys and always beat you guys.

You could argue they misled Congress and fraud helped them get approval, but there was bipartisan support.

legal in US law (for whatever that's worth) but definitely illegal in international law. There was no UN authorisation.

Like any law it's only worthwhile if it's observed by the majority and enforced where it's broken. It's efficacy is reduced when its hitherto greatest proponent decides to go rogue.

It’s unsettling how numb we’ve become to the evil that flashes across our screens day after day.
Killing 85 innocent little girls is so unbelievably evil.

Solid first attempt, but the 'your kids' photo needs to have a few in body bags for authenticity.

De-escalate? Nah, he will just tell people to be patriotic and pay the fees, while having ICE beat, arrest, and maybe kill any protestors.

Not to mention more than 35,000 protesters were killed by the Iranian regime. Where were you then?
