The president of the United States meeting the coffins of soldiers he's had killed to amuse himself while wearing a white baseball cap and, I don't know, counting his fingers...? Meanwhile, the wraith he's married to is demonstrating her customary compassion for anyone who's not her.

I don't suppose that there's some sort of...context...for this.

You’ll notice the American state media relentlessly attacked President Biden over his age as he did good work and chastised President Obama for creating a healthcare program but are giving the orange felon a pass for bombing any country he chooses. They are complicit.

Dear billionaires, senators, representatives, and Supreme Court justices protecting this convicted felon:

You sold out everything our forefathers built to Putin. Good luck.

It certainly sounds as though Netanyahu already knows Israel has lost and is now trying to preemptively justify the U.S. or Israel's planned use of nuclear weapons on Iran.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

Pedro Sánchez: “You will have heard it said that Spain is alone. We are not alone. We are first.”

Do younger people know about the huge effort that was put into decreasing the % of smokers. Education campaigns in print, on TV, in schools, new restrictions/enforcement, labeling, a soupçon of public shaming, changes in how smoking was depicted, etc. Might guide us in anti-anti-vax efforts.

What If the Mullahs Are Smarter Than Trump? True victory through air power has never been tried!

Trump’s entire political life has been premised around the unimportance of reality and the belief that he will never be held to account for his actions. From his perspective, why wouldn’t that pattern continue?

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

The desalination plant is seen next to the coastline of Qeshm Is.

For context, Tthe US has bombed the desalination plant on Qeshm Island, Iran, disrupting water supply to 30 towns.

These plants are protected under international law, specifically the Geneva Conventions, which prohibit targeting infrastructure indispensable to the survival of civilian populations.

Israel and the US.

The US and Israel should not have a single ally. Not. One.

Now more than ever I’m convinced losing Anthony Bourdain meant we lost probably the biggest person on tv who advocated for the wonders of meeting new people and calling anyone online who hated learning new cultures the children they were, ruthlessly to the camera.

The oil is flowing into the sewers and the streets are on fire in Tehran

This is at least the third attack on democratic official residences by right wing actors in under a year no?

there were the murders of the minnesotta state reps
the burning of the PA governor residence
and now this?

Horrific.

As a climate journalist, I can say with certainty that the people who most stand to benefit from this are North American oil barons

This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

“I saw someone refer to the IRGC as the resistance because it opposes Western imperialism. So let's just be clear here. The resistance is the people. The resistance is the doctors who were given death sentences for treating wounded protesters…”

Did you know Alberta gets more money from the Federal government than from bitumen? YES - transfers from the Canadian govt to AB.

Also, this isn’t counting the federal monies they’ve taken from AISH recipients 😡

Analysis suggests US was responsible for deadly strike on Iranian elementary school | CNN The United States military was likely responsible for the strike on an elementary school in southern Iran that killed scores of children, the deadliest incident of civilian casualties in the US and Is...

Set aside for a minute the stupidity of starting this whole war (we'll come back to it)

This strike on a school shows why war is serious business for serious people.

Iran Ready for U.S. Ground Invasion: FM Iran’s Foreign Minister also rejected negotiating a cease-fire with the U.S., contradicting Trump’s claims that Iranian leaders “want to talk.”

Valid.

“The fact is that we don’t have any positive experience of negotiating with the United States. You know, especially with this administration. We negotiated twice last year and this year, and then in the middle of negotiations, they attacked us,”

They're more worried about Prince Andrew and royal lines of succession than the war crimes of Israel and the US.

Yeah, not sure about this, but I do know that human consciousness does not require electricity.
