RE: https://mastodon.ie/@clickhere/116493231355733839
These findings are unsurprising but worth spotlighting.
Politicians and journalists still active on X for "engagement" or whatever dubious reason (or, to a lesser degree, active on FB) are soaked in deeply warped notions of public opinion on immigration, inequality, LGBTQ issues, etc. Their Overton window misaligns badly with reality

I am distressed when I think about how my tax dollars are going toward this cruelty and destruction of the current Iran war. So I looked up about tax resistance and found the National War Resistance Coordinating Committee website https://nwtrcc.org/resist/consequences/
Here is a snippet from their page on the consequences of resisting war taxes:
"Of course there are also terrible risks involved with not doing war tax resistance. If you continue to pay war taxes, you contribute to global insecurity, nuclear terrorism, and imperialism, you put innocent people in harm’s way, and you risk the moral injury of knowing that you are complicit in such things."The moral injury is real...

I am noticing a pattern where the US uses military strikes and "wins" only to "need" to return later to fight again. This Iran War is a good example. The Twelve Day War was less than a year ago. After this war is over will we "need" an even bigger war in the next nine months? Will we also "need" to return to Venezuela too?
This is not a new pattern, but it seems much worse under this regime.
It's frustrating. I want lasting peace and security, not just for us Americans but for people all over.

I strongly oppose Trump's new war with Iran. I don't buy that this war was necessary. There are ways to sort out international problems peacefully. Let's try sincerely.
I guess when you have aircraft carriers and cruise missiles it seems easy to solve everything militarily, but I think it is a horrible mistake.
I intend to take action to resist further war. As a first step, I'll ask my congress people to not approve this war and not to fund it either!

Catherine Connolly, who I used to meet cycling around Galway, was inaugurated as the 10th president of Ireland today. She's already making the right people uncomfortable

News from Iran you don't read on MSM.
Mohammadreza Bahonar, a member of Iran’s Expediency Discernment Council.
“At present, there is no mandatory law on the hijab. The general decision of the regime is that such a law no longer exists,” Bahonar stated. According to him, women will no longer face fines or legal penalties for appearing in public without head coverings.
