The skyline of Tehran has a small shaft of light to the west. But the rest is darkness, shrouded in black cloud from burning oil depots and refineries

Daybreak brings only more night in Tehran. A city blackened by burning oil.

Hospitals, schools, aid centres, freshwater desalination plants and now fuel storage depots.

These are all the sites you would target if your wish was to perpetuate a genocide.

Ausschluss vom Deutschen Buchhandlungspreis: Weimer unterließ offenbar Nachfrage beim Verfassungsschutz

Trump & Hegseth bombed the School.

The lies!

So Trump wants us to believe that Iran bombed itself?

Ruben Ray Martinez: Footage shows US citizen shot dead 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.

The death rattle of newspapers is sooo weird, a totally random PR story that someone put on a print product bought by the same number of people who live in Basingstoke, who are rapidly dying. And this will for some reason be discussed on national TV. No wonder the future is influencers.

Paper reviews are very popular online because they give people a proxy view of the world that manageable. Single news agendas are comforting and fairly core to our existing form of government. I wonder how many people in any sense “read” the Indy in full (and they’ve done much better than many).

Everything being stripped of the context that a paper gives it is also a problem. People on here getting mad at a slightly silly guardian story that would’ve been on page 7 of G2 and treating it as though they’d have cleared the front page for it is also quite funny.

NEW: Watch this report just in from CNN’s Frederik Pleitgen. It is raining oil in Tehran this morning.

A city of 10 million is being actively poisoned.

🎯!

it’s a convenient thought to say a) this is the fasted descent into authoritarianism while b) scholars teaching in the US _have_ warned [from] 2017 via books but then c) everyone in 2024 went nooo, HIM?! naaah, never again.

This descent happens since his 1st term, (might call that a test run)

Lasst diese kurzen Sätze über unser Buch "Die Sicherheitslüge" auf Euch wirken. Geschrieben mit @susannegoetze.bsky.social im Sommer 2025.
Die Energiewende ist Sicherheitspolitik - versierte Fachleute wissen dies längst. Wann ziehen Merz und Co nach?

Woraus man ableiten kann, dass Trump derzeit keine realistische Chance sieht, auch Irans Öl zu stehlen. Sonst würden sie diese Infrastruktur ja nicht zerstören.

“Two People Exchanging Saliva” Rewrites the Slap in Cinema Alexandre Singh and Natalie Musteata’s film is set in a dystopian version of Paris where kissing is forbidden and purchases are made through small acts of violence.

"Two People Exchanging Saliva" was so good, so eerie, so sexy (and yet not), and absolutely should win the Oscar. www.newyorker.com/culture/scre...

There's no reason for Iran to attack NATO nation Turkey—but a drone did. Iran denies sending it.

There's no reason for Iran to attack a UK base in Cyprus—but a drone did. Iran denies sending it.

Now Azerbaijan has been attacked. Iran denies involvement.

I think this is Israel.
