There’s a pretty robust case to make that the Iran Hostage crisis of 1979, the revolution itself, and the policies of the Iranian government towards the US
since, was all blowback from the CIA’s decision to overthrow Mossadegh in 1953. www.cnn.com/2013/08/19/p...

This is a policy of genocide.

For those of you smart enough to stay the fuck away from the Nazi Bar, be grateful you're missing Glenn Greenwald's very harsh cognitive collapse as he discovers, shock, that Donald Trump was lying to him about war.

In a democracy, the war on Iran would not be possible.

When this ICE shit started, a mutual I’d never met asked how to help. I sent him to a friend’s kid’s preschool that was struggling to find patrollers. He’s been there almost daily, even in brutal cold, at a school where he didn’t know anyone, to keep folks safe. We finally met and got beers tonight.

If you wondered why Russians didn’t rise up against Putin when he started feeding people into the jaws of his war machine in Ukraine to distract from a collapsing economy and rampant corruption, look no further than whatever you’re doing as an American right now.

BREAKING: Iran has directly or indirectly attacked 15 countries or their military forces over the last two days: Israel; United States; United Arab Emirates; Saudi Arabia; Qatar; Kuwait; Jordan; Iraq; Bahrain; Oman; Syria; Cyprus; France; Italy (in Kuwait); and the United Kingdom (in Cyprus).

this is fucking shocking, and while i know politics journalists think it's clichΓ© to point this out, a democratic president would be impeached for delivering this speech in this way, and rightly so.

The Department of Education has hung a massive banner honoring a racist college dropout who built a lucrative career out of targeting professors for harassment

β€˜I Just Stood Up’: The Stunning Arrest Of Aliya Rahman At The State Of The Union Rahman, who was Rep. Ilhan Omar’s guest, suspects she was targeted after testifying to Congress about her brutal ICE detention in Minneapolis.

NEW, from me: I talked to Aliya Rahman, who was dragged out of Tuesday's State of the Union + arrested for... standing up.

Really.

Rahman, who is autistic and has disabilities, was a guest of Rep. Ilhan Omar + was previously brutally detained by ICE in Minneapolis. www.huffpost.com/entry/aliya-...

There were def people in Washington who advised Trump not to do this, basically saying, "hes 90, hes had cancer twice, hes going to die soon anyway. Dont make him a martyr for the cause". He didnt listen.

Khamenei is a bad dude and it’s good he’s dead and we also shouldn’t be waging war in the Middle East again are two beliefs that can sit comfortably in the same person.

WOW. 19 people, all who were imprisoned and mistreated in a foreign prison at the direct command of the United States, are brave enough to say β€œWe are innocent, and we will endure more time imprisoned to prove that.”

I can only admire the enormous courage such a move takes.

Yesterday’s attack on Iran sends a strong message to would-be dictators who use secret police to murder protesters.

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

Donald Trump is dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want. Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm’s way for the sake of Trump’s war of choice.
