US Calls Iranian Retaliatory Strikes "Unprovoked". Only the US could bomb a country, kill its leader, massacre its children, declare the intention to destroy its military & topple its government, & call that country’s retaliation β€œunprovoked”. substack.com/app-link/pos...

Four sharp kids with mop tops. Tight. Hungry. Little rough around the edges β€” but there’s something in their pockets besides change.

Historian & archaeologist Ian Morris defined ideology as β€˜a pack of lies that benefits someone’. Most are ideologies of domination: they benefit those atop a hierarchy.

Can't wait until the USA finally invades the USA to depose their autocrat and eliminate its regime of incompetent, bigoted and murderous government officials.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

U.S. strikes 3 nuclear sites in Iran, in major regional conflict escalation The attack marks a major escalation in the burgeoning war between Iran and Israel and came despite years of promises by President Trump to keep the U.S. from entering another Middle East conflict.

β€˜We have "obliterated" Iran's nuclear program with airstrikes.’

β€” Donald J Trump,

Thank you for remembering to pay attention to this matter.

One day people are not only going to realise that the American Dream is dead.

But that it was never a thing.

It was an advertising decade in the 1950’s to rebuild the economy by selling washing machines, refrigerators and family cars.

β€œI am sabotaging negotiations because I stand to make piles of money on Polymarket” is absolutely in play, what a horrifying clusterfuck

Trump admits 'we expect casualties' in Iran attacks, argues it will be 'a great deal' despite losses!
