Missing from the discussion around the actions that are being conducted by the Trump administration, is the idea that if the U.S. does not like a leader of another country, we have the right to remove or assassinate them, with no legal authority, no transparency and no oversight.

Why are people saying this shouldn’t this be a story??
As a feminist, I find it very important.

Always a cheap thing to try to zing a writer with a screenshot of a headline - but not the actual article. Here it is:

www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

‘I Have Agreed to Talk’ Trump tells The Atlantic that Iranian leaders want to resume negotiations.

Um.

www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

Exactly.

Ted Cruz: "I have no indication they were anywhere close to getting nuclear weapons"

Trump Has No Plan for the Iranian People The mere act of bombing Iran will not by itself create a stable regime.

The fate of the Iranian people has never been of great concern to American administrations, and this one is no exception

DHS calls leaks a threat. Here’s what we wouldn’t know without them Recent leaks have exposed DHS’s warrantless home invasions, targeting of protesters, surveillance overreach, and propaganda campaigns

DHS calls whistleblowers a “threat to national security.”

But without leaks to the press, the public wouldn’t know that ICE is entering homes without warrants, labeling protesters “domestic terrorists,” building surveillance tools, or pushing propaganda.

CBS News conducts a poll.

It finds that only 18% of Americans advocate removing Iran's leadership "by force," and 74% say Trump needs congressional approval before starting a war.

So their headline is, "CBS News poll on Americans' views on Iran prior to conflict."

Trump, the Self-Declared Peace President, Goes to War Seeking Regime Change

Trump’s increasing willingness to deploy military force underscores the broader change between his first term and second term. He is far more comfortable using the instruments of power than he was the last time around -- at home as well as abroad. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/u...

A PSA from Thomas Massie:

Which Iranian officials have been killed, who's in charge now - and who will be its new leader? While a leadership council will govern in the interim, an 88-member panel called the Assembly of Experts will make the decision.

Whose in charge of Iran now

news.sky.com/story/whos-i...

They spent billions on regime change in Venezuela and left the Maduro's head of torture in charge.

They are now spending billions on regime change in Iran, knowing the most likely outcome will be harder line leadership.

We do not have serious people running our country.

Seems like the emerging policy is: you people out there are responsible for setting up your own governments, but if the US doesn’t like who ends up in charge we’ll just assassinate or kidnap them and then the ball is back in your court.

WHAT

There's much to say about what's going on, but what strikes me the most is just how embarrassing he is. The guy who launched an illegal attack that will lead to war and the likely destabilization of much of the Middle East for no real reason is posting like a middle schooler struggling with English.

He took $10 billion from the US taxpayer to set up a “Board of Peace”

He’s bombed 8 countries.

He’s presided over the killing of American citizens by ICE.

He’s given billions to DHS despite a record number of deaths in the camps

Now he’s started war in the Middle East.

American taxpayers are paying this ICE-hole to walk up and down a residential street in Santa Ana, CA, spraying pepper spray for no reason whatsoever.
