Lt. Gen. @markhertling.bsky.social (Ret.) talks with Here & Now’s Robin Young about the start of the Iran war and gives his perspective on the objectives of the U.S. military and how long the war may last.

This is how the Iranian regime is structured

In case you need to pick a side.

Special Saturday Triad: What I Saw at the Battle of Minneapolis The national media has moved on. Minnesota is still under siege.

"You now live in a country where volunteers deliver babies at home, in secret, off the books, because mothers fear that if they go to the hospital, they will be abducted by masked, armed agents of the state while giving birth. This is not a hypothetical."

Why a Scared 5-Year-Old Boy Shook Our National Conscience What the image of Liam Ramos, grabbed in Minnesota and thrown in detention in Texas, means for our democracy.

"Two clients Lawyer Eric Lee visited last week, a boy and a girl who are twins, turned 5 in the detention center....The twin 5-year-olds, and their family members who are 9, 16, and 18, have been there for an appalling eight months."

Certainly appears moms with whistles won the Battle of Minneapolis.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

nursesonja • 7h & Threads Let us not forget, it was the same administration that reduced us to wearing trash bags as protective gear while we watched the hospital go up in flames around us during the pandemic that just murdered one of our own on the streets in broad daylight. As a nurse & as a person, I will never forgive. I will never forget. I will never back down. This was never about border control. This is about total control. O240 Q5 G34 → 21

The nurses are pissed

This Is the End Putinism abroad always morphs into Putinism at home. And we chose this path. Why? Because something-something the price of eggs.

Countries that are imperialist and aggressive in their foreign policy do not remain liberal democracies in their domestic policy.

When a Text Message Shatters International Trust A message sent to the Norwegian prime minister on Sunday could threaten decades of progress in building up the NATO alliance.

We're going to end up learning the hard way all of the lessons that our alliances were built over.

Just a reminder to everyone that Iranian revolutionaries are everywhere in the west in the diaspora. I met with a group in London today. There are generations waiting to return home who would be dead or in prison now if they were back in Iran.

Protesters have torn down the largest flag of the regime in Mashhad, Iran’s second-largest city.

ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.

How beautiful it is to reach the days of freedom

It’s not actually green, you can’t build a thousand golf courses there.
