Nurses condemn Trump’s military action against Iran Nurses across the country are outraged that the Trump administration has ignored the Constitution and committed yet another imperialist act of war over the weekend without approval from Congress. The ...

The attack on Iran, like previous unilateral military actions, is paid for by our patients!

Most terrorism convictions in Australia for the last couple of decades have been the result of entrapment. Plots initiated by the police in order to get perceived enemies locked up for years.

Iranian schools, hospital and landmarks among civilian sites hit during US-Israeli strikes A local in Tehran tell BBC Verify that the city has been turned into a

BBC Verify has analysed verified videos and satellite imagery that show severe damage to a hospital, sporting centres, a UNESCO world heritage site and two schools since US and Israeli strikes on Iran began on Saturday, as the number of civilian casualties grows.

While the assassination of the Supreme Leader was popular amongst Iranian contacts of Western journos, even they are starting to turn against the US/Israel bombing campaign. #Iran #Imperialism

This contains details of which I was not previously aware.

Let's be clear: Hegseth ordered this, not only to deprive the Iranian Navy of a frigate, but as a public repudiation of the Geneva Conventions. #Iran #WarCrimes

But the interests of the US dictate support for Israel, regardless of its crimes. So the Dems always choose Israel. They will continue to do so.

Dems are garbage. 2/2

Gaza was always going to lose the election for the Dems. Both Arab Americans & Jews are part of the Democratic Party voting bloc. When Palestine is a hot issue, the Dems can't keep both.

If they support Israel, Arab Americans stay home. If the oppose Israel, Jews walk & vote Republican. 1/2

I can believe it. Fascism is on the march & I believe the greatest long term threat is in Europe.

The primary responsibility here is with Pete Hegseth. He's the one who scrapped the idea of abiding by international law and doesn't recognise war crimes.

He positively glories in destroying the Geneva Conventions.

The US previously had to pretend to observe them. Now it thumbs its nose at them.

Julian Evola is serious bad news. He propagated a distilled essence of Fascism, which can be diluted &/or adapted to suit the local situation.

His influence needs to be expunged from society. #Antifa

A public service. #FactCheck on #FakeNews about the #Iran war.

Come on! They're spelling it out for us at this point! They're straight up saying that they want America to invade Iran because America conquering Iran and helping Israel take over Palestine means making the second coming of Jesus happen, and you're not seeing what that means?

Bibi wasn't into "conflict avoidance". He was into *risk minimisation*.

He used constant low level conflict to advance a policy of achieving, in tiny, almost unnoticeable increments, a maximalist Zionist program.

Since Oct 2023, he's thrown caution to the wind & mostly gone for broke.

Adelaide University cancels literary festival event with UN Gaza investigator Francesca Albanese Festival organisers criticise the university for last-minute booking cancellation of event headlined by special rapporteur for Palestinian territories

OK. Who got on the phone demanding Adelaide Uni cancel the booking?

I find it notable that, though Trump has appointed 3 "Justices" to the Supreme Court, the two most reliable votes in his favour have come from the two that were appointed by previous Republican Presidents.

#OtD 3 Mar 1970 during the First Quarter Storm uprising against the Marcos government, jeepney drivers in Manila went on strike and rallied in front of the US embassy. One student, Enrique Sta. Brigida, was subsequently tortured to death by police stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1118...

#OtD 3 Mar 1937 a strike at Holmes Foundry in Ontario, Canada, turned into a race riot. After a wildcat by Polish & Italian immigrant workers, bosses sent Canadian-born strikebreakers with clubs to attack and replace the strikers, who were sacked stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1021...

They have, but they think it's an instruction manual.

There'll be a fair bit of overlap in the Venn diagram.

Australian troops safe after drone strikes air base near Dubai as Hastie says rules-based order a ‘fantasyland’ Liberal MP says rules are irrelevant when Trump acts as an ‘apex opportunist’, following a drone strike at UAE’s Al Minhad airbase where Australian troops are based

You know that the Labor Govt is appalling when Andrew Hastie can, for the moment, appear just marginally less disgusting & detached from reality than Albo & Penny Wong. #auspol #Iran

US embassy in Riyadh hit by Iranian drones as Israeli troops enter southern Lebanon Iran continues to target American bases and Hezbollah fires at Israel as conflict spreads across Middle East

Israel invades #Lebanon. I get the feeling that this time, it's meant to be permanent.

Israel's policy is driven by an insane ambition to claim any territory which had, at any time, been ruled by ancient Israel.

Kyle and Jackie O’s controversial breakfast radio show taken off air after hosts fall out Australian Radio Network accuses Sandilands of ‘serious misconduct’ after Henderson says she ‘cannot continue to work’ with Kiis FM co-host

Given he's been vile to so many others, it's no surprise that #VileKyle was vile to Jackie O. So the air is now somewhat cleaner now that he's gone. For now, at least.

This piece is disturbing because it reads like a press release that had to include a bit of journalism in it. There’s virtually no critical analysis of the danger of what’s happening. The only mention of the word “law” is a UN quote.

03-03-1976 SPAIN: In Vitoria-Gasteiz, Basque Country, Spanish police killed 5 workers and injured another 100 during a general strike.

NATO SG Rutte praises the end of international law as we knew it. Attack any country that does stuff you don't like, and never mind the democratic process in your own country!

“Pahlavi supporters just have a different opinion.”

It’s paternalistic and infantilizing to treat parts of a diaspora who support a previous dictatorship and want a new one, as just a different opinion. Because people who say this will not extend that opinion to those who support the IRI.
