β€œMaster, your plan is working, they are distracted away from talking about Epstein Files and about you being accused of raping children. Which country should we attack next?”

"There are reports that the bombing of a girl’s school in southern Iran has killed as many as 85 people, most of them innocent children. We are spilling the blood of the very people we are promising to liberate. Are we really expecting to be someday greeted with rose petals?" @willbunch.bsky.social

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

People ask what it is exactly we expect of Dems in this situation, and for me it's this.

Make these assholes fucking scared.

Make it clear that they are on borrowed time, that consequences WILL arrive, and that they will be harsh.

BREAKING: Iranian state TV has confirmed that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in Israeli and US air strikes today.

A tearful host on state TV's channel one announced the news live on air.

If you want to distract from the Epstein Files, maybe don't name your act of war something that also has the initials E F.
Epstein Fury?
Epic Files?
We live in a grotesquely absurd timeline.

so many of the very first photos my parents took of me are taken in Iran. I was born in India, but lived in Iran, before during and after the Revolution. My father worked in a remote rural hospital for 8 years.

A reminder that the administration spent the day before it launched a war in the Middle East feuding with tech companies over whether and how the AI models the Pentagon buys will be restrained from autonomously killing people.

The Devil Wind Murders, a comedy and a mystery. https://a.co/d/01L7k9BQ

In 2020, things looked bleak for the world. To distract myself, I wrote a cozy mystery with the intention that the story would be so fun- my readers would forget their worries for awhile. 🌸

Exclusive: Prior to Iran attacks, CIA assessed Khamenei would be replaced by hardline IRGC elements if killed, sources say In the run-up to the U.S. and Israeli attacks on Saturday, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency assessed that even if Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in the operation, he would likely be replaced by hardline figures from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), two sources briefed on the intelligence said.
