ABOLISH DHS. 🇵🇸

Me, driving by in my Rivian

Dear Russia,

Iran's fire is making oil prices spike.

Spiking oil prices makes economic problems for us, so we're making it easier for you to sell more oil.

In sum, Iranian military success against us reduces economic pressure on you.

Just, you know, FYI.

Sincerely,
The geniuses leading America

to me it rocks that this company that has never come within light-years of making money and has a bad product with zero practical use cases is the pivot point of the global economy because a bunch of embarrassing Burning Man dorks just decided it should be

As I said:

Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump 忄 Iran, which is being beat to HELL, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors, and promised that it will not shoot at them anymore. This promise was only made because of the relentless U.S. and Israeli attack. They were looking to take over and rule the Middle East. It is the first time that Iran has ever lost, in thousands of years, to surrounding Middle Eastern Countries. They have said, "Thank you President Trump." I have said, "You're welcome!" Iran is no longer the "Bully of the Middle East," they are, instead, "THE LOSER OF THE MIDDLE EAST," and will be for many decades until they surrender or, more likely, completely collapse! Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran's bad behavior, are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump is totally deranged and a danger to the world.

Gulf allies complain US didn't notify them of Iran attacks and ignored their warnings, sources say Officials say Iran’s retaliatory attacks in the Middle East over strikes from Israel and the U.S. have left some of America’s partners in the Gulf frustrated over a lack of notice or adequate defense.

“Gulf countries said their countries were not given advance notice of the U.S.-Israeli attack and complained the U.S. had ignored their warnings that the war would have devastating consequences for the entire region.”

It's absolutely insane that Democrats are thinking about voting for a supplemental $50 billion to fund this war

Just so everyone is clear, Iran announced that they would no longer target neighboring countries unless an attack originates from them or they provide "space, facilities, or capabilities" to the US/Israel. The US has bases in Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi, Qatar, the UAE, Jordan, Syria, and Turkey.

I dunno, if I were Jeffrey Goldberg, author of "How Did I Get Iraq Wrong?' (2008), I might pause for a moment before cheerleading another war in the same region.

It’s about time someone said it out loud on a national news show.

Major Gen. Paul Eaton (ret.) — on Trump’s interest in putting boots on the ground:

“We have a situation where someone called a malignant narcissist is unfortunately drifting into a state of dementia that is difficult to manage.”

The asymmetry of the value placed on human life is so striking. Israel has a goal to recover 40-year-old remains; to do so, it invades a sovereign country, and the lives of 26 Lebanese are an afterthought. Their names not even worth printing in the New York Times.

We are not at war with Iran, although we have been for the last 50 years.

⚠️ Houthis could be entering the Iran War.

If so, transportation of oil and other goods through the Bab al-Mandab Strait will likely be affected, adding to the supply restrictions resulting from ships being targeted in the Strait of Hormuz.

Here’s a tidbit I couldn’t fit into the story: As the Berlin Wall was falling, FBI counterintelligence began to circulate a highly-classified bulletin about the intel activities of all the Warsaw Pact spy services, tracking their moves toward the West. The name of that bulletin?

“Winds of Change”

Ruben Ray Martinez: Footage shows US citizen shot by ICE agent in Texas traffic stop The Department of Homeland Security did not disclose Martinez was shot by one of its agents until almost a year later.

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.

"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

As long as we’re talking about the influence of Meir Kahane:

Early life and education Yechiel Leiter was born on 1 October 1959 in Scranton, Pennsylvania.[6] The newspaper Haaretz claimed that as a youth, Leiter was active in the far-right Jewish Defense League led by Rabbi Meir Kahane, and emigrated to Israel together with other activists from that organization.71 He arrived in Israel in 1978 at the age of eighteen, served as a combat medic in the Israeli Defense Forces and participated in the 1982 Lebanon War. [citation needed]

Early life and education Yechiel Leiter was born on 1 October 1959 in Scranton, Pennsylvania.[6] After two years studying at Yeshivas Chofetz Chaim in Queens, New York, he made allyah to Israel in 1978 at the age of eighteen, where he studied at Yeshivat Hesder in Kiryat Arba in advance of his military service. 71 He served as a combat medic in the Israel Defense Forces and participated in the 1982 Lebanon War.181

The current Israeli ambassador to the United States, Yechiel Leiter, was reportedly a member of the terrorist organization founded by Kahane known as the Jewish Defense League (JDL) in his youth.

That portion of his Wiki page has been scrubbed, but I found it in an old thread of mine (on the left):

“Trump is not in control of the Iran War. Netanyahu is, and Kushner is his lackey.”

Whether or not you fully agree with that statement, this piece is a must-read to understand better the influence of the Kahanist movement on current events and the push for “Greater Israel”:

these are in fact legal targets in wartime

Iran condemns US attack on Iranian desalination plant, issues a veiled threat - Türkiye Today Iran strikes US naval base in Bahrain's Jufair in retaliation for US attack on a desalination plant on Iran, as Tehran warns US set a precedent

⚠️ Iran says the US attacked a desalination facility.

If true, this is a war crime.

Lindsey Graham’s Quest to Sell Trump on Striking Iran Few others in the president’s ear argued for the attack as effectively as South Carolina’s senior senator.

If a US Senator wants the US to go to war against another country, he should introduce a war authorization and push for a vote in the US Congress.

Not subvert the Constitution to achieve that end.

The longer this goes on, USSOCOM will be looking for a piece of the action and Army and the USMC will - for a range of reasons like justifying roles and budgets - want to find a role for manoeuvre forces as well.

And Hegseth will want helmet cam snuff footage from his alpha-male operators as well.

People should be angry about Trump's war on a whim in the Middle East.

The war itself violates the US Constitution and the UN Charter.

That does not mean however that every attack violates the law of war—even if they seem unethical or kill a bunch of civilians.

For that, the crime of aggression.

"Lindsey Graham told Trump in private conversations that Khamenei was similar to Adolf Hitler, and Iran was in a historically weak position, in an effort to convince Trump to embrace regime change in Iran. He also reminded Trump of Iran's attempts to assassinate him" - WSJ

Ah, good, this will help disabuse people of the Star Wars theory of states, which assumes countries function similarly to how in Star Wars every part of a planet is the same and something happening on one part of the planet is always evident from wherever you are on that planet.

it’s never felt more stark to me, the way direct action, community defense, and a whole host of forms of refusal are being blunted by those see (and/or who want others to see) such actions as “disagreement with a policy” or “seeking policy change”

Bodycam video contradicts ICE claims in fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas Video of last year's fatal shooting of Ruben Ray Martinez obtained by CBS News appears to contradict claims that Martinez was shot by an ICE agent because he "accelerated" and "intentionally ran over"...

DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."

But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."

My 18,000 word pieces - The Enshittifinancial Crisis and The Case Against Generative AI - are some of my most popular pieces I’ve ever written. Give them a table of contents and people will read whatever

Just to be clear, we were so worried about nukes that we killed the dude who issued the fatwa against developing nukes?

Thereby strengthening the position of the people who wanted nukes?

So the options are either perpetual bombing or regime change?
