The acts of defiance can be big or small. Painting over a bigoted piece of graffiti. Running a youth club for refugees in an area that mostly loathes them. Wearing a rainbow flag in an anti-queer neighbourhood.
These acts all accumulate towards something better, I have seen that in action.

Important to remember this was part of one of the wrongest “calm down” series in history

Seriously, get off of X. Don't post there and don't spend time there. You will get exposed to propaganda and bullshit that will nestle into the corners of your brain EVEN IF YOU KNOW IT'S BULLSHIT. Stay away.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corp has named Ahmad Vahidi as its a new commander in chief.

That’s probably given him a lifespan of about twelve more hours.

At least 9 people were killed in an attack on the U.S.consulate in Pakistan

This was confirmed by a correspondent of Radio Liberty’s Pakistani service at the scene.Several hours after reports of the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei,around five hundred Shia Muslims stormed the U.S. consulate

this is just who they are

they do bad things everywhere all the time because they are evil and stupid and constantly indulging their very worst impulses

there’s no twelve dimensional plan here

🇮🇷 2. Iranians are calling for revenge after Khamenei's killing.

‘Viruses don’t know borders’: US anti-vaccine rhetoric could impact global measles crisis Experts say global measles vaccination rates are falling as Trump officials signal a deprioritization of the virus

The Trump administration’s global havoc is unending.

My latest story is about how the Trump admin is amplifying anti vaxx conspiracies just as measles outbreaks are spreading across the globe; many countries have just lost elimination status, and others are on the brink.

The US has also pulled funding from the Global Measles and Rubella Laboratory Network which is run by WHO. It helps identify measles cases globally and prevent travel related transmission. Measles is extremely contagious and can easily jump countries via international travel.

the war is unpopular but it's also illegal but it also doesn't serve any purpose but it also undermines diplomacy but it also is set to produce the opposite outcome as intended but it also already has hundreds dead and threatens more but it also will not make anything better for anyone but it also

Assad, Maduro, now Khamenei. Putin lost three close friends in just over a year and helped none of them. Russia is no reliable ally, its influence is tanking, and Putin's fall is just a matter of time, Ukraine's FM Sybiha says.

🇧🇪 Defence Minister of Belgium:

Over the past few hours, our armed forces, with the support of the French Defence, have boarded an oil tanker belonging to the Russian shadow fleet. The vessel is currently being escorted to the port of Zeebrugge, where it will be seized. Operation Blue Intruder.

Chief US negotatiors had no idea what some words in English even meant (!!!).
This way, US got suspicious because they couldn't understand what Iran is even proposing.
Omani Foreign Minister was rushing to Washington just before the strike on Tehran to explain...

*The most bizarre events - the negotations themselves between Tehran, Washington, facilitated by Oman that is now getting backlash by Iran anyway.
We have long heard about Witkoff's and Kusher's glaring incompetence and greed - they are not people who should be near diplomacy.

Worthy of late morning summary of what we now know from the last night.
*Israel and the United States have spotted the regime having three separate meetings at the same time. Initially aiming for the night, a quick decision was made - we strike right here, right now.

American elites have shown the world their contempt for the rule of law in every way given to them by Trump’s sadistic cabal.
The aspirations and hopes of what was once called the ‘American Dream’ have been temporarily dashed.
All this in the year of America’s 250th Anniversary of independence.

9/9. The case is in the DOJ archives. Read it before they delete it.

5/9. This is unsurprising. The Russians and the Chinese also try to prop up Trump. Everyone outside the US knows that he weakens the US.

the democratic party held >80% of the senate seats during the 1930s, if we put trump & the rest of the epstein cohort behind bars while also doing the Green New Deal i think we could get closer to those numbers than people would readily believe

Imagine if the US had brought this level of firepower and engagement to defend Ukraine in 2022.

Why War Still Surprises It’s as old as humankind and has been closely studied by great minds—yet it continues to defy predictions.

"Before the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the consensus among Western military analysts was that it would be a cakewalk." War continues to defy expectations. Re-upping for no reason:

I can’t process the fact that in their so called pursuit of “peace” they bombed an all girls elementary school.

108 children lost their lives. More than half the kids who went to that school.

We can’t normalize this.

We can’t accept this.

These children should never have died.

Southern California air board rejected pollution rules after AI-generated flood of comments The opposition appeared overwhelming: Tens of thousands of emails poured into Southern California's top air pollution authority as its board weighed a June proposal to phase out gas-powered appliances...

They were going to pass rules to phase out gas stoves, until they received 20,000 public comments against the regulations. Except, oops, it turns out the comments were generated by AI.

So did Claude kill over a hundred girls at school? Or was that someone else putting it on the list of targets?

An independent investigation is needed for the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ elementary school massacre in Minab. The culprits, whether it's the US, Israel, or Iran, need to be brought to justice in an independent international court, and the truth must be protected.
