“Massive” war launched by a man with no plan. Again. Donald Trump is repeating George W. Bush's catastrophic mistakes.

"Trump has no plan for Iran. Just blow shit up, kill some people, and hope for the best. It is the war of a Mad King."

Now that Khameini’s death is confirmed, will the regime collapse?

I would bet against it.

Khameini was v old, and both he/his lieutenants had been planning for the succession for some time. He had also delegated much of the gov work to others before the strikes in case he was killed/incommunicado

They've monetized and incentivized committing crimes against humanity.

It's a scandal on par with Pete Rose betting on baseball, if Pete Rose were undersecretary of defense, and baseball was murdering civilians with bombs.

7/9. And now Trump uses the Iranian electoral operations that were on his side and which he has enabled as a reason to attack Iran. Absurd.

6/9. Trump and allies rewarded the Iranians and the Russians and the Chinese by punishing the US researchers who discovered all this and abolishing the agencies that tracked it.

Roderich Kiesewetter, Fraktion CDU/CSU, zum Angriff auf Iran Roderich Kiesewetter, Fraktion CDU/CSU, zum Angriff auf Iran

Bemerkenswertes Interview mit Kiesewetter. Er sagt letztlich, Militärschläge seien im Interesse Deutschlands und im Interesse der Iraner*innen. Das Regime im Iran habe bei den Verhandlungen nicht eingelenkt und müsse nun die Konsequenzen tragen. Ich halte fest: Das Völkerrecht gilt nicht mehr.

Judge blocks Trump admin from rescinding health grants to Democratic-led states The ruling temporarily blocks the Trump Administration from cutting $600 million in public health grants that had already been allocated to four Democratic-led states.

Unbelievable that we still talk about withholding HIV funding as a form of political maneuvering rather than an act of social murder, as if the 80’s + 90’s never happened and we didn’t lose an entire generation to this already.

The threats against judges who have ruled against Trump happen in a context: religiondispatches.org/2025/06/09/p...

“… the witness who alleged Trump sexually assaulted her was interviewed by the FBI four times. If the witness wasn’t credible, a second, third and fourth FBI interview probably wouldn’t have been warranted.”

Do missing Epstein documents show Trump is covering up sexual assault? It sure looks like it OPINION: It is surreal to say the president of the U.S. is an accused pedophile — and that the DOJ, together with the Republican Party, seems intent on killing that story, Leah Litman writes.

“It is absolutely surreal to say the president of the United States is an accused pedophile — and that our country’s law enforcement apparatus, together with the Republican Party, seems intent on killing that story. Yet that is where we are.” www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...

See, it's easy to denounce this straight up instead of politely asking the administration to pretty please give the American people an explanation when they have a sec

“The forces we are up against have made peace with mass death. They are treasonous to this world and its human and non-human inhabitants.”

The facts suggest two interpretive frameworks for Iran: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the U.S.

Once again: This is the stupidest and most dangerous timeline.

Zitat: „Die Verletzung der UN-Charta liegt hier so offen zutage, wie es deutlicher kaum sein könnte.“

Die USA und Israel haben mit einem Militärangriff auf den Iran begonnen.

MARKO MILANOVIĆ zeigt, warum sich die Militärschläge nicht als Selbstverteidigung nach Art. 51 der UN-Charta rechtfertigen lassen und offenkundig gegen das Völkerrecht verstoßen.

It’s worth emphasizing that the Supreme Court has propped up this presidential lawlessness.

When Congress enacted limits on presidential power in 1973, it included an enforcement provision. If the president said there’s an “emergency from attack” and Congress disagreed, it could order troops home.

Getting twitchy reading about regime change takes. Regime change is basically impossible without committing ground forces, which are not in the area. You cannot take this admin at its word, even if they are telling themselves things.

what a crazy night for sam altman to be like "yeah we got that dept of war deal, and there's no moral concerns here"

It was never a great sign that they chose to name their show after the people behind the Armenian genocide.
