"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."

"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the ​Middle East."

Post after post after post on Twitter right now saying Tehran is under the worst bombardment yet in a war that’s already killed more than 1,200 people in just a few days.

Israel Has Dropped 4,000 Bombs on Iran — The Same Amount as 12-Day War in a Third of the Time The death toll has already surpassed that of last year’s war, with Iranian officials reporting 1,230 killed so far.

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

What about the U.S. criminal punishment system would make anyone think she's going to be imprisoned?????

Today the Israelis ordered the evacuation of the southern suburbs of Beirut. This included a couple Palestinian refugee camps. People who were displaced during the Nakba or in 67, settled in Beirut and now their grand/great grandchildren are once again displaced.

Documents Expose Ties Between Trump Officials and Industries They Help Regulate Disclosure records reveal how personal financial interests have intersected with the administration’s decision-making.

At least 4 of the companies awarded contracts so far to build a U.S. defense shield are owned by a private equity firm founded by billionaire Steve Feinberg, who is now the deputy secretary of defense — the second-highest-ranking official in the Pentagon.

US Leaders Are Cheerleaders for a War Machine - WORT-FM 89.9 Bert Zipperer is in conversation with Negin Owliaei, editor-in-chief of Truthout, about the US-Israel war on Iran.

Iranian Girls’ Elementary School Massacre Was a Double-Tap Strike, Medics Say The tactic involves bombing a target and then launching a second strike meant to kill survivors and first responders.

“My little girl was completely burned,” he said. “There was nothing left of her. We could only identify her from her school bag, which she was still holding. She was completely burned.”

As Trump Bombs Iran, We Need to Reckon With the American War Machine We cannot afford to slip into despair. We must push back against militarism everywhere, at every turn.

As our government starts yet another war, we can't afford to despair, writes @truthout.org editor-in-chief @neginowl.bsky.social.

"This unaccountable bureaucracy makes it all the more essential that we build grassroots power to force those in power to heed our demands."

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

Billionaire-owned media celebrating the industrial slaughter of human beings by machines as a wondrous leap forward.

They killed 180 children and their teachers in a double-tap strike on a school. The girls were 7 to 12 years old.
