Ya know, I grew up with the big threat of nuclear war…up until the fall of the Berlin Wall, it was a serious thing.

Now it’s getting to be another possible scenario.

Earlier today we taped tomorrow’s show, and we discussed the potential for the U.S. to bomb Iran. Since taping, the U.S. has carried out several bombings. We’ll have more to say in the future, but for now our piece on Trump and the Iran Deal can help explain what got us here. youtu.be/5xnZ_CeTqyM

Iran hasn't unconditionally surrendered for some reason. Who could have predicted?They are threatening Americans in the region. I wonder if they're going to threaten the world oil supply by closing the straits of Hormuz? Or maybe some light terrorism? Anything can happen.

— digby (@digby56.bsky.social) 2025-06-22T02:01:48.738Z

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Tuesday Cartoons: In Bed For Good

Posted: June 17, 2025 | Author: | Filed under: just because | 17 Comments

Hello, if it was up to me, I would stay in bed…under the covers. At least it is safe under there.

From last night:

Concerns are growing that Trump, who promised to keep the U.S. out of foreign wars, is about to get us into a war with Iran. Trump is leaving the G7 early to return home and meet with the National Security Council. Could Trump be preparing to drop a 30,000-pound bunker-busting bomb?

Tomorrow's front page of the Minnesota Star Tribune

— Minnesota Star Tribune (@startribune.com) 2025-06-15T02:47:07.945Z

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

— Indivisible Twin Cities (@indivistwincities.bsky.social) 2025-06-14T21:45:20.151Z

They told Minnesotans to stay home. After the murder of Speaker Hortman and her husband—and the failed attempts on Senator Hoffman and his wife—fear was the official message.But the people came anyway. In defiance. In grief. In purpose. This was the #NoKings rally in MN. #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky

— Carolyn Barber, MD (@cbarbermd.bsky.social) 2025-06-14T23:47:16.288Z

This sign is just heartbreaking:

Minnesota’s flags will fly at half staff in honor and remembrance of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman.She woke up every morning determined to make Minnesota a better place, and she will be greatly missed.

— Governor Tim Walz (@governorwalz.mn.gov) 2025-06-14T21:20:28.848Z

So here are some of the things seen about the country yesterday:

Millions across US turn out for ‘No Kings’ protests against Donald Trump

And just to make a point…all the protest have been peaceful with the exceptions of:
