One of the lessons of the Iran war is that it was a huge mistake not to even try to put any of the Iraq war architects in prison. We shouldn’t make it again.

Presuming this isn’t the end (see, I can do optimism) it would be good if this war made people go “Can I shock you? I like renewable energy”

A wise administration wouldn’t start another war in the Middle East.

A competent administration wouldn’t bomb an elementary school full of children on day 1 of the war they started.

They are neither.

CPAC Head Says Iranian Schoolgirls Are Better Dead Than “in a Burqa” | The New Republic Leading Republicans don’t seem to care about the bombing of a girls’ school in Iran.

Call me a filthy commie but I really don't think wearing a burqa is in any way worse than, you know, DYING

Matthew Petti • @matthew_p... •49m saying "the regime" like a magic talisman that lets you pretend that oil refineries, water plants, police stations, courthouses, schools, and hospitals are not just part of society

They did this in the Lebanon War in 2006: they just bombed anything that looked like it had any social or economic value - bakeries, ports, factories, on and on, then told the world every single one was a military target. It was all lies then, just as it has been for years here.

Tweet from Daniel Pipes: "The uprising in Iran in early January suggested an even greater insurgency would then follow on the U.S.-Israeli campaign to erode regime power. Yet, the populace now appears cowed into near-silence. This ranks as the most surprising and disappointing development of the past week. Without a new uprising, the regime will likely remain in power, less powerful but more awful than ever. (The picture below is from Jan. 10 in Tehran.)"

Amazing how quickly "We're fighting this war for freedom of the Iranian people" becomes "The Iranian people are at fault for not rising up."

There was a huge propaganda campaign to pretend that Israel was not doing the obvious war crimes it was doing, and part of it was BBC News silencing any inconvenient report or investigation that too troubled the pro-Israeli narrative.

Broadly speaking, I'm delighted at the American reaction to European hesitancy, because behaving like this is a great way to make it easier to harden that hesitancy.

Article 3-7-26 by Julie K Brown. I am not one to subscribe to conspiracy theories but there does seem to be more and more evidence that Epstein may have been murdered. Remember, Julie K Brown is the journalist who has doggedly followed this coverup from its earliest days.

Bodycam video contradicts ICE claims in fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas Video of last year's fatal shooting of Ruben Ray Martinez obtained by CBS News appears to contradict claims that Martinez was shot by an ICE agent because he "accelerated" and "intentionally ran over" another agent.

New video footage shows a US Tomahawk missile hitting an IRGC facility in Minab, Iran, on Feb 28, showing for the first time that the US struck the area. The footage also shows smoke already rising from the vicinity of the girls’ school, where 175 people were reportedly killed, including children.

Screenshot from Omid Djalili on Twitter replying to Zack Polanski re the Israeli bombing of a school in Iran: Nothing is proved yet Zack. The fact that you are spreading misinformation is appalling for someone in your position. To date no one has been allowed to see any evidence of casualties or even the site itself. The regime says it's America or Israel. The Americans say they were nowhere near the area. Here's what Iranians inside Iran say: IRGC blew it up themselves to fill it up with dead bodies of children they've kept on ice hidden away in cold storage from the January slaughters to put on display in order to blame their aggressors. The fact that we have not seen the evidence yet is a red flag as we know the regime would have gleefully paraded those images on television and all over the internet. Most probably they were caught on film transferring the bodies hence why there is now a media black out on this story, as well as a full internet blackout. As Iranians we know how this regime operates. We're talking about new levels of evil. So any narrative like the one you are pushing Zack actually supports the regime in their "don't care how many die as long as we

Whew boy, “Iran planted the frozen bodies of dead children in the school and then blew it up themselves” is a fucking HELLL of a take

It’s already happening. Iran attacked a desalination plant in Bahrain.

This war has to end immediately. If it turns into a water war we will be dealing with a whole different level of a humanitarian catastrophe across the region.

Remember folks: opposing 25 years of escalating war, slaughter and horror is insanely extreme and possibly treasonous, a threat that the police need to crack down hard upon. Cheering it all on and baying for more is Sensible, Moderate and patriotic.

Asked if the US attacked a desalination plant in Iran, Pres. Trump says Iranians are "among the most evil people ever on earth." "They cut babies' heads off—they chop women in half..." "I know nothing about a desalinization plant, other than to say, if they're complaining about a desalinization plant, we complain about the fact they shouldn't be chopping babies' heads off." Trump envoy Steve Witkoff and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth can be seen nodding in agreement.

A pretty clear demonstration here of how the lies told to sell the destruction of the Gaza Strip to the public helped to create the structure of impunity required to destroy as much as possible of other countries too

It turns out "the SNP but way more transphobic" is not a viable electoral offering

Do we think that Karl "Paradox of Tolerance" Popper might have had anything to say about, e.g. the fact that Trump was allowed to run for a second term instead of going to prison forever for sedition, because it's "unseemly" to prosecute our political opponents?

Where are the progressives whose rule I have been living under?

This is just emboldened idiocy, here: a dumbass who is rarely told “no”. Take a look at who and what has and has not been “destroyed” here. Is it us?

“Dude, bro. You totally set in motion a conspiracy that will rearrange the world order, my guy. You secured the future for a pedophile oligarchy, fam.”

“Breathe! Breathe!” he recalled officers shouting about 6:30 a.m. Then he said he heard an officer say “Dudes, you killed that dude.” A female guard replied “If he is dead, we’re going to cover it up and he’s going to have an alibi -- my officers,” the FBI notes said. The inmate claimed the whole wing overheard the exchange. Read more at: https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/crime/article314966334.html#storylink=cpy

The Miami Herald reports that an inmate told the FBI he heard prison guards discussing the fact that they killed Epstein and were going to cover it up the morning he died.

The female guard below received thousands of dollars of payments in the months before Epstein died.

Trump is wearing a baseball cap from his own merch store, but the fawning media notices not and simply describes the process as "dignified."

Compare how the media treated Biden for checking his watch. And didn't Obama get in trouble for saluting his detail while carrying a cup of coffee?

The asymmetry of the value placed on human life is so striking. Israel has a goal to recover 40-year-old remains; to do so, it invades a sovereign country, and the lives of 26 Lebanese are an afterthought. Their names not even worth printing in the New York Times.
