Any Doubts

The Iran War Is Also a Climate War Climate change is not a peripheral part of what we’re seeing in Iran—it’s structurally embedded in modern warfare.

Global militaries are responsible for nearly 5.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Same here.

No, because privilege, patriarchy, and heteronormative cisgender norms can make LGBTQIA+ people face microaggressions, triggering critical theory debates on cultural appropriation, food insecurity, the unhoused, incarcerated people, involuntary confinement, and safe spaces.

Already done 👍

Maybe you know about it already, but you can turn off autoplay for videos and GIFs. It saves me a couple of thousand nerve cells.

Ventriloquist doll representation of Speaker Mike Johnson in Congress by Craiyon.com AI-generated image of a doll-like judge seated behind a desk with a wooden gavel. The figure wears round glasses, a dark suit, and a red tie. Visible AI artifacts include oversized, unnaturally glossy eyes and distorted hands with simplified, awkward fingers. The image has a smooth plastic texture and a gray studio background.

You mean a ventriloquist dummy 🤔

Excuse me for this ugly, obviously AI-generated image, but it's already a meme.

JIC: The last two are General Randy A. George, the 41st Chief of Staff of the United States Army, and General Dan Caine, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Slightly misleading.

“Supported,” “tolerated,” “armed,” “used,” “empowered,” “destabilized,” and “caused blowback from” are not the same thing.

Iranian leaders, Saddam, Iraqi sectarian elites, Assad, jihadist organizers, Gulf donors, and militias made their own choices.

Trump confidently claims Iran did it. Bombed its own school.
🤦‍♀️

Very Putin-esque rhetoric. He also claimed that the Ukrainians were bombing their own schools and hospitals.

NewsWire @NewsWire_US Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) reacts to Newsom calling Israel an 'apartheid' state: "These comments are not only wrong, but they are dangerous and will feed more antisemitism in our country. Is it really worth throwing Jews under the bus to advance your political ambitions?"

New Jersey’s 5th Congressional District — once again, #joshgottheimer faces no Democratic challenger. I voted blue no matter who two years ago, but this year I’m not sure what the right choice is. He’s a bad candidate, and apparently the only one, at least for now. That’s a bleak position to be in.

Let's be honest: there's no official data. Everything else is speculation and statistics (which, as we know, are worse than lies).

Depends on your source and data.

For example, there have been 63 legal sex scandals committed by members of Congress between 1980 and 2022. Out of these, 43 were committed by Republicans and 20 by Democrats. (see Wiki)

The Republican party is obsessed with children – in the creepiest of ways | Osita Nwanevu For all their posturing about defending children from abuse, their record tells another story

Yes, but "The Republican party is obsessed with children – in the creepiest of ways"

Reuters: "However, it could be argued that if Washington is attacking Iran to eliminate an imminent threat, a warship far from Iran would not be a justified target unless it could be connected to those threats."

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Looks more like Photoshop for me, but who knows?

That is my point, actually. Why did they agree?

Reuters' experts say it was not an illegal order. 🙄 War is illegal, but the order isn't. 🤦

No Reagan?

U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

Our stable geniuses managed to piss off another country - the ship took part in a naval drill organized by India in February.

Explainer: Are the US attacks on Iran legal? The U.S. military has joined Israel and attacked more than 1,000 targets in Iran and killed many of its top officials, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. On Wednesday, a U.S. submarine s...

What about "the duty to refuse applies to orders that are patently/manifestly illegal", you say? No worries, it "complies with the law of war. 🙄

32 from 180 sailors were rescued by Sri Lanka, btw.

CBS News reported, citing multiple US officials, that the submarine was USS Charlotte (SSN-766). 😒

Reasonable thoughts, but off topic.

She murdered living creatures.
Not for self-defense, not for food, just because she can.
You focus on the victim, we focus on the action.
