The U.S.-Israeli war on Iran is not “stability.” It’s a recipe for state collapse, regional conflagration, and unending violence.
@alfatau.bsky.social reports on the chaos this war is unleashing.

"For all their homilies about nation-building, US neocons who advocated for regime change wars in Afghanistan, Iraq & Libya did not shy away from nation-breaking. Similarly, it’s evident Israel's goal is less regime change than state collapse." New from @alfatau.bsky.social at @inthesetimes.com.

The pre-emption and targetted assassination arguments might appear spectacular, but they were the workaday archiecture of the war on terror.

Found a book published last Dec called The New Fascist Body by Dagmar Herzog. In it she explains that far-right movements like the AfD have been successful because of what she calls “sexy racism” combined with an “obsessive hostility to disability.”

A recently leaked Department of Justice memo directs the department to compile a list of “domestic terrorist” groups based on their opposition to Trump’s agenda, as well as soliciting public tips on Left activism.

🚨 LAUNCHING 🚨 State of Power 2026 🚨
Fascism and the far right are on the rise. Beyond headlines, we examine the reasons for their rise, the economic interests that support them, how they weaponise today’s social and ecological crises, and proposals for how to fight back.
www.tni.org/en/publicati...
Fascism doesn’t rise by accident: it’s organised through capitalism, fear, and targeted wars on migrants, drugs, and people in poverty.
