Gen. Ahmadi Vahidi, Soleimani's predecessor as Quds Force chief, has reportedly been named IRGC chief commander. A brutal commander and notorious for his radical approach even among his own IRGC comrades. Headlines are filling the vacancies rapidly. #Iran

In a conversation between June Jordan and Angela Y. Davis, published in 1990, Jordan said she was concerned about how much despair there is cuz people often take it out on themselves.

She said she wanted a return to rage, where it’s taken out on the system.

One of the most terrifying signs from today β€” suggests they’re trying to hand Iran over to right-wing fascist monarchists on a silver platter.

What an honest statement from the Israelis. This is actually what genocidaires do. They don't just seek the immediate devastation of a group in the present. They seek to erase their past, as well as their future. This is the concept of genocide in a nut shell x.com/BBCArdalan/s...

People overseas love their kids just as much as you love yours. Your kids aren’t more special just because they were born on US soil

Watching this while holding my sleeping kid, well aware of the fact that it’s sheer luck that made my parents immigrate at just the right time so that we’d be on the sending end of the bombs and not the receiving end.

How do people defend this? How?

Push from Saudis, Israel helped move Trump to attack Iran President Trump launched a wide-ranging attack on Iran after weeks-long lobbying by an unusual pair of U.S. allies in the Middle East: Israel and Saudi Arabia.

Well in other news Saudi Arabia engaged in dirty double dealing, pushing Trump to strike while publicly claiming not to support an attack. MBS was worried about being hit by Iran if they were public w/their real goals. They got hit anyway www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

it seems pretty likely that the rumors that Khamenei delegated powers to the supreme defense council weeks ago were true judging by the way Iran responded and how quickly it did so compared to last year

Iranian state media confirms Khamenei has been killed.

That was never the hard part. Iran has had a succession plan for years now. The guy was in his 80s; no one was under the illusion he would live forever.

Feels like the moment when Bush posed with the mission accomplished sign behind him.

The Islamic regime is claiming more than 50+ β€œmartyrs” were killed at a girls school in Minab …except they forgot to mention that the school is literally part of the Asif corps of the IRGC on base, which was targeted. Not only that, it’s also being used as an IRGC admin, command and medical facility at this time.

Meanwhile, Anti-regime media has said no students were killed nor was the school itself the target.

Those school girls were soldiers and therefore deserved to be obliterated by a US/Israeli bomb, but also they're not dead but also it'd be good if they were dead

The Iranian diaspora is a complex and diverse network of communities spread over three dozen different societies. Bashing it in the most crudely reductive fashion is analytically unprofessional and signals a profoundly problematic worldview.

The idea of bombing children as a form of β€œself-defense” is nonsensical and grotesque, but nonetheless it’s the argument the U.S. and Israel have been relying on for years and years. It shouldn’t be hard to take a stance against slaughtering children

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.

Essential reading. "We in the U.S. need to reckon with the fact that so much of our state wealth, capacity, and technology goes toward burying children in rubble."

This is disgusting. Rationalizing the bombing of a school that reportedly killed 108 girls.

But since she asked,

"Currently, 161 public schools operate on military installations across the United States."

My Twitter timeline is full full full of posts in Farsi from people in Iran letting the world know that if they die, they stood against both the Islamic Republic and this war. My heart is breaking.

Enraged, sad, frustrated, but life feels too precious to fall into despair. We have to do every single thing we can to stop the US from inflicting this kind of violence onto Iranians and the rest of the world.
