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.

Paramedics said last weekend’s bombing of an elementary in southern Iran was a so-called β€œdouble-tap” airstrike β€” a common tactic used by US, Israeli, and Russian forces by which attackers bomb a target and then follow up with a second strike meant to kill survivors and first responders.

Iran posed no imminent threat to US: Pentagon tells Congress Pentagon briefers have revealed that there was no imminent threat from Tehran to US bases in the region.

Pentagon staff acknowledged during a congressional briefing on Sunday that Iran was not planning to strike US forces or bases in West Asia unless Israel attacked Iran first, according to multiple people who attended the session.

The people who spent two years levelling Gaza would like you to know Iran is violating international law In a masterclass of humanitarian restraint that has now stretched into its third glorious year, Israel has continued to show the world how deeply it respects international law.

Hezbollah Warns β€˜No Options Left But Resistance’ After Israeli Strikes - PopularResistance.Org Hezbollah said on 21 February that the Lebanese people β€œno longer have any option” other than resistance, after a series of violent and deadly Israeli attacks against the country’s east and south. Deputy chief of Hezbollah’s Political Council Mahmoud Qamati said β€œWhat happened yesterday in the Bekaa is a new massacre and a new aggression.” β€œWhat option do we have left to defend ourselves and our country? What other option do we have besides resistance? We no longer have any option,” he added. Another official, Hezbollah MP Rami Abu Hamdan, said mere government condemnation were no longer acceptable.

Mass Detention Facility Expansion In The US And The Fight Back - PopularResistance.Org While there has been an ongoing expansion of immigrant detention centers in the United States for nearly two decades, the government recently allocated $38.3 billion to put that on hyperdrive in order to add the capacity to detain 92,000 more people. The government is purchasing warehouses in communities across the US and even considering using military bases. Clearing the FOG speaks with journalist Sam Carliner about the expansion, who is being detained, the appalling conditions in these prisons, who is profiting and how communities are organizing to stop what are essentially concentration camps.

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.)  If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.
