We just rendered Tehran uninhabitable, do we think Iran is going to just let that go?

β€œBlack rain” and a school massacre: the latest from Trump’s war on Iran "We've already won," the president declared.

While the Trump administration claims that they have the war in Iran under control, devastating consequences are mounting from the military campaign in the region.

It turns out the U.S. did a β€œdouble tap” attack just as emergency responders were arriving at the girls’ elementary school. This is what the Russians do routinely in Ukraine.

That’s a war crime under international humanitarian law.

If I was more extroverted, I would start the MYOB party. It would solve 80% of our social and political problems through everyone just minding their own business.

The U.S. committed a blatant and desperate crime by attacking a freshwater desalination plant on Qeshm Island. Water supply in 30 villages has been impacted. 

Attacking Iran's infrastructure is a dangerous move with grave consequences. The U.S. set this precedent, not Iran.

Attacking access to water is definitionally genocidal.

I spent 20 minutes yesterday hunting down and neutralizing AI functions that M$ snuck into Office. I realized it was there only because I had to open Task Mgr for another reason and saw it there. Removed sys permissions, gave them to myself, then was able to remove it. I'm sure they'll try again.

FEW JOURNALISTS ARE COVERING THIS :

Wondering if the information Putin is feeding to Iran came from the files that we're not allowed to know anything about that got stashed in the in the ballroom and bathroom?

These idiotic stories are exactly why I cancelled my subscription last year. Anthropic is not moral or ethical - no AI company is. They are all fine with helping kill people. They just don't want to be blamed for killing school children.

Y'all are on the wrong team every single day

NEW: US & Israeli have bombed a 4th school.

Shahid Hamedane School in Tehran was hit today, following schools hit in Minab and Parand, Iran.

And The National in Scotland seems to be the only newspaper in the Western world giving these war crimes appropriate coverage.

Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)
