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.

    Hate is not going to get you anywhere.

    Yes some of them voted for him but a bunch of them didn’t.

    Stop being defeatist… inform yourself… look at the numbers. Look at the evidence. Get active.

    If you’ve wondered why everything looks like a coup since he got in, perhaps it is because it is one.

        And leading with “hate is not going to get you anywhere” and following it with more blame instead of action.

        Find your local mutual aid group. Volunteer. Protest. Get involved.

        [you’re] kinda acting like a dick

        I really don’t see it. I see only advice trying to help them get a healthier point of view. 🤷‍♂️

        Change your tone and you might get a better reception.

        This has literally the same vibe.

      Many people just aren’t serious enough to take actions that are material beneficial. We want leftist ideas, but no one wants to form a party or vote for one.
