To muddy the waters further, there is a not insignificant number of Iranians who support Trump and believe that he can effectuate regime change.

I am sick with worry. /End
That said, is our strategy for preventing a wider spread war in the middle east to hope that Iran is level-headed? Seriously? 5/

Israel's strikes on Iran didn't seem to be self-defense as we usually define it. And they forced Trump's hand which wasn't hard to do. 3/
22.06.2025 02:06 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0But the US doesn't have a good track record with regime change. In 1953, our CIA overthrew the democratically elected govt in Iran, and re-installed the shah because he would play nice on oil prices. Until he didn't. Iranians believe we could have prevented the revolution and chose not to. 2/

But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things.
That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

And that administration had people with high level national security experience in some senior positions, while the current one does not, thatโs true.
It is objectively wild but also completely and totally expected and incredibly unsurprising that Trumpโs primary response publicly and behind the scenes to the Minnesota political violence and killing has been for days just to effusively trash talk governor Walz www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

It only took us 17 minutes to get to 100% at this stop in Manchester. The car charged faster than we were ready between getting snacks and bathroom break.
