AP False reporting: Ayatollah *has* designated successors for himself and all senior leadership. Nor does his assassination "cast doubt on the future of the regime." It will survive. Even if overthrown, it will continue to exist.

What Americans think about Trump's judgment on military force as Iran talks resume: New AP-NORC poll A new AP-NORC poll finds that as the U.S. and Iran head into their next round of nuclear talks in Geneva, many U.S. adults continue to view Iran’s nuclear program as a threat.

60% of Americans have little or no faith in Trump regarding waging a war against Iran

Trump's pointless war begins. A war neither he nor anyone can win. Even if he topples the clerical regime & replaces it with Shah 2.0, that will only provoke years of conflict in the region. The only winner will be Israel, which benefits from regional chaos.

You know what happens to leaders who eliminate dissent & replace it with yes-men/toadies. Catastrophic failure.

Harris is "one of her party's biggest stars?" In what universe? She didn't run for president or governor this time around because she knows she's political road kill. Also, very bad idea to engage her to do a robocall.

Israel massacred far more Palestinians than anyone could imagine The Lancet report of a 35% undercount in Gaza’s death toll raises questions about the true scale of genocide - but will it move world leaders to act?

Lancet: Israeli genocide murdered far more Palestinians than the current casualty count: 90,000 dead from 10/7 till January 2025. That number could be even higher.

Delighted to learn that Starmer & Labour have been trounced at the polls. The Greens have won the seat. This should trigger a leadership fight. Good riddance to him.

Looks like Starmer will be on the way out. Not soon enough. But will anyone better replace him? Or will it be more of the same?

Jeffrey Epstein, Anti-Semite Media coverage of the Epstein files has missed a vital theme: his repeated use of anti-Semitic slurs directed

I'm shocked that I am the only journalist who's documented that Epstein files expose rampant anti-Semitism by him and his respondents. Why has no one else reported this?

Bill Gates apologizes to Gates Foundation staff over Epstein ties, admits to having affairs Microsoft co-founder and billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates has apologized to staff of his foundation over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

Epstein is proof that non-profits have done a terrible job at vetting prospective donors for misbehavior that may have reputational damage. I know this personally fr similar missteps at the Univ of Washington, where I was a fundraiser

So boring. Did you get this from an old hasbara manual? I've read virtually the same claim in the same words for years. Can't you come up with something new?
BTW, don't bother to speak for the Palestinians or tell them what they should do. They don't need yr advice.

US ambassador to France fails to show up for diplomatic summons. There is a long history of distinguished American envoys to France: Franklin, Jefferson, Harriman, Monroe. Kushner is not one of them. He's a Brutish boorish scumbag.

Lancet study: Gaza ministry of health vastly undercounts number of Gaza dead. As of January 2025 (13 months ago), the number of violent and non-violent deaths was nearly 90,000, not 50,000. MOH figure does not include non-violent deaths.

Pls know that the word "goyim" is code word 4 anti-Semitism. Its Biblical meaning is "nation" & it is non-pejorative. It has become a disparaging word for non-Jews, similar to other pejoratives used to disparage other minorities. If U don't use those words, don't use this one.

More than 1.5-million (out of 2-million total) Gazans are living in tents, drowning in sewage and freezing winter rain. This compares to Seattle with 800,000 people (12,000 unhoused) in the roughly the same area.
