love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

This is an incredibly important revelation about the days leading up to the beginning of the Iran war. The administration and Israel had a deal with Iran and attacked ANYWAY. Those sleazy, murdering, profiteering motherfuckers. Bibi and Graham played Trump for the chump he is.

Anyone associated with US media who mainstreamed this lie as a legitimate campaign promise from Trump Vance was BSing you all along.

They were liars and enablers of liars just like all those liars and enablers who mainstreamed Bush regime’s WMD lies back in the day.

At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

β€œ[A] legal permanent resident who spent several weeks at the Camp East Montana detention facility in Texas, told AP that he overheard a security guard talking about a betting pool for which detainee would next die by suicide.”

Just reforming ICE will not stop this kind of monstrosity.

It's literally raining oil in Tehran. This is eco-terrorism.

Judge Voids Mass Layoffs at Voice of America The ruling, which said that Kari Lake’s appointment to oversee V.O.A.’s parent agency was invalid, was a major rejection of President Trump’s attempts to dismantle the government-funded news group.

A federal judge on Saturday ruled that the appointment of Kari Lake, the head of Voice of America’s oversight agency, was invalid, voiding mass layoffs that she had carried out at the federally funded news group last year.

'An Iranian missile landed on him': Sky News speaks to son of expat who died in United Arab Emirates Saleh Ahmed, 55, was delivering drinking water when he was fatally struck by debris after a missile attack on the first day of the war. His son tells Sky News he does not believe his father knew the c...

Victims in our countries seldom get profiled and humanised in Western media. This is a portrait of a life cut short. What a tragedy.

"Saleh Ahmed (55) lived in the UAE as an expat for 25 years, sending under Β£500 per month in earnings to Bangladesh for his wife and four children."

Markey, Lieu and a few other legislators have proposals that would take away the president’s ability to launch a first strike.

Arguably the single most important thing Congress could do to restrain the presidency.

This is what they mean when they say shit like "suicidal empathy."

It's just bloodlust. Not patriotism or deft military strategy. Just thuggery on a global scale.

Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.

Oh, you naysayers, give me just ONE example of the U.S. sending "a small contingent of U.S. troops that would be used for specific strategic purposes" and it all going downhill from there.

Ben Stiller is calling out the White House after it used a clip from Tropic Thunder in a video promoting the Iran war.

β€œWe never gave you permission and have no interest in being part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie,” Stiller wrote.

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.

I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.
