If you have not read Persepolis you should, it is an extremely powerful graphic novel thats available for free on the Internet Archive: archive.org/details/pers... Though I would also highly reccomend supporting Marjane directly and purchasing it as well.

Depite claims in this story that Tr*mp cared about demonstrators, he repeatedly focussed on other issues, noted in same story: Iran's nuclear program. It's what he said multiple times this week as his son-in-law Jared K*shner and amateur aide Steve Witkoff met in Switzerland with Iranians.

I've read wildly divergent accounts of the massacres of civilians by the Islamic Republic before the illegal war was launched against it by Israel and the USA. As we all heard the unlawful war had nothing to do with those brutally murdered. This is from mid-February 2026. www.pbs.org/newshour/wor...

The judges in WV have seen enough.
They say that if the ICE continues detaining people in ways they have unanimously deemed illegal they will start issuing civil fines and contempt findings — including against state officials who help them carry it out.

the fecklessness of establishment Dems comes from the fact that they agree with much of what Trump is doing.
they want aggressive immigration enforcement. they want to blow shit up in Iran.
for them, Trump is a sin eater who's brashly doing what they've been trying to do politely for a generation

Tim Snyder and Phillips O'Brien also make the case illegal Iran war now is going to play out as part of Tr*mp's plans to interfere in the upcoming elections. They propose Tr*mp will use Ir*n and Venezuela lies claiming interference in the November mid-terms. DEMAND your lawmakers voice concerns now.
