It's genuinely insane that many of the newspaper columnists who cheered us into the war in Iraq are still employed at big legacy outlets cheering us into a new war with Iran.

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves.
Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone.
That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins.
If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after.

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

Sahar Delijani said it best:

Every American should be outraged right now.Because not only do we have a rogue government , but this rogue government is not being stopped because of the association with Israel ,Netanyahu is out of control , just as much as Trump and using our government , and this should not be happening.

So now's the part where right-wing Twitter types find and circulate videos of Iranians who are happy we're invading and point to that as justification/prood that it was a good thing, I imagine

Ah. I conflated the two events. Zhou spoke in WhatsApp.

In this case, a WhatsApp video call which was recorded would likely be libel.

It’s blurry now especially with digital communications. Traditional slander or libel is just defamation now.

I'm already sick of "It's all a distraction from Epstein" replies. This regime is killing innocent people because our leaders are all power-hungry tyrants and war profiteers. When you say it's "just a distraction" you minimize the gravity of what's happening and the lives lost.

Or is it slander. I can never remember.

Criminal libel.

I really hope the Vancouver press keeps on this. We need to know where he got the information from or if he just made it up. It’s not a small matter and shouldn’t be dropped for the next news tidbit.

What if…hear me out…we have it backwards? That the Epstein thing is a distraction from the American imperialism virulently engulfing the planet.

I see Canada lost the hockey game. I guess we should now move on to guerrilla warfare.

Joe Biden says if Israel didn't exist, the US would have to invent one to protect US interests
YouTube video by Candidate Research Joe Biden says if Israel didn't exist, the US would have to invent one to protect US interests

If people won’t believe you, perhaps they will believe Joe Biden.

I am so furious that we have to fight this casino mess AGAIN.

Any city councillors thinking of voting for this casino expansion (a whole new casino's worth of predatory slots): it's election year now. You will regret it - a prediction and probably also a threat. #vanpoli
