Live updates: Trump signals he will escalate war with Iran as Tehran apologises to neighbors for strikes | CNN US President Donald Trump says Iran “will be hit very hard” today, with areas of the country under consideration for “complete destruction and certain death. Follow for live updates.

The IRGC: the only people so fucking insane and stupid that they may actually make Trump's "plan" (as if he has such a thing or could) a success.

Just a reminder that, as frustrating as Discord is, it is another place we can build a community for times when bsky has an outage, etc. Backups are important. And Discord is nice for more active conversation.

The highest number I knew was 50,000 but no number would surprise me. The Iranian regime must fall, no matter what.

Yes, I said banned above instead because of the ridiculous character V limit on Bluesky.

Thank you for sharing this. In the caption, Hillel Fuld pointed out that cluster bombs are a violation of international law, yet when used against 🇮🇱, "noone cares" The truth of that is 💔💔💔

This is unbelievable.
Watch the Iron Dome/David’s Sling cope with 80 cluster bombs coming off of one missile over Tel Aviv. Designed to kill as many as possible and banned, but no one cares. About equal to the number who care that the IRGC slaughtered 30,000 of their own unarmed people. #Iran

Barcelona: School Activity Planning Must ‘Respect Ramadan’ Educational establishments in the Catalonian capital have been encouraged to factor in Ramadan when organizing extracurricular activities, including music o ...

Heck no!
What’s this nonsense?
“Barcelona: School Activity Planning Must ‘Respect Ramadan’”
What? Absolutely not! They are guests, who invited themselves. The country should NOT be accommodating to them!

The mullahs committed a mass murder on Iran’s youth. They murdered ten thousands of young people- approximately 25,000-50.000 people.

I didn’t know an evil mass murderous regime is considered a population worth protecting.

They’d have to think to recognize that

And you don’t think the Iranian Mullahs have been committing genocide against their own people?

For the Black women I follow feel free to save this and share

I took it from LinkedIn to pass along to you bc this is so spot on

You owe no one anything

Only yourselves!

This part is how my Iranian friends feel right now

They don’t understand that their
“ideal utopia“ would be no different than the “libertarian” ideal utopia, a hellscape of regional warlords controlling territories with poor & elite class, a mix of Feudal Japan & Pol Pot’s Cambodia.

They don’t understand logic, cost, or compromise, just like MAGA.

Liberals were at the center of the Civil Rights movement, and now leftists have made that a dirty word.

I would love for us to take "progressive" and just own that, but the media would have a meltdown.

Leftists dirty up a word like "liberal" and "progressive" "metoo" and it's hard as hell to reclaim.

Christian Nationalism (MAGA) Anti-women'srights Anti-LGBTQ Anti-democracy Anti-free speech Anti-science Book bans OS One religion (Christianity) Islamic Extremist (Sharia) Anti-women srights Anti-LGBTQ Anti-democracy Anti-free speech Anti-Science Book bans 554K One religion (Islam) 13.1K Two different ideologies, Same threat to freedom.

Two different ideologies,
Same threat to freedom.

The Alt Right and the Islamists are two pages of the same book.

This.

Leftist are regressive. And they prove that in every election cycle and *almost every vote taken by leftists in office. And DSA are leftists, so fall in that category.

Yes. But sadly, the Democrats are falling for the DSA populism and that’s very likely to harm or even destroy the party.

but Dems, as a political party, are progressive by nature and by our platform.

True. Leftists are "regressive" not "progressive"

They love adopting names that make them sound edgy and cool, but they rarely live up to them.

Dems are left of center, period, so Dems are progressive, imo. There are some more "moderate" progressive Dems - probably "pragmatic" is a better word,

David Hogg is so damn full of himself. He’s done nothing but live off his PAC money.

Facts as someone noted above too

Rabbi Poupko makes a key point about LW idealists coopted to prioritize Jew hatred.

They won't call it Jew hatred; they call it "antizionism."

But that's just the new ideology for Jew hatred, as race was Hitler's ideology.

Russian/Chinese/Iranian propaganda brainwashed too much of the West.

Opinion | The Bibi-Made-Trump-Do-It Canard Israel didn’t manipulate the U.S. The countries worked closely together.

“Iran is building some 100 ballistic missiles a month, and accelerating, far outpacing U.S. interceptor production…

“We’ve now seen what Iran can do with its current stockpile of some 2,500 missiles. What if it had double that…?”

Gift link. It’s worth a read.

the seemingly inexorable march of antisemitism into the very heart of US politics from both the left and right is pretty depressing

US had extensive contact with Ayatollah Khomeini before Iran revolution Documents seen by BBC suggest Carter administration paved way for Khomeini to return to Iran by holding the army back from launching a military coup

The “anti-imperialist” was put up in a chateau by the French, flown in by Air France, and ensured success by the Carter administration.
We owe the Iranian people.
