A lot of schadenfreude about this, but seeing a hard right legislator still loosely anchored in the constitutional profess toppled by an unrepentant Fascist is not a good sign when it comes to the trajectory of 25-30% of the American population unswervingly loyal to the GOP

This is a Medal of Honor ceremony. The military veterans and their families are here listening to this. bsky.app/profile/atru...

"The United States would not target, would not deliberately target, a school". But Iran IS deliberately targeting civilians.

Objectives are defined by Rubio as destroying Iran's ballistic missiles, the ability to manufacture them, and making sure the country can never have a nuclear weapon. If the Iranians rise up and topple the regime, that's up to them.

Rubio's verbatim on US knowledge of Israel's planned assault: "The imminent threat was we knew that if Iran was attacked, and we believed they would be attacked, that they would immediately come after us. And we were not going to sit there and absorb a blow before we responded...."

Rubio: "The hardest hits are yet to come on Iran. The next phase will be even more punishing.... We will do this as long as it takes to achieve [our] objectives".

In the administration's constantly-shifting narrative, Rubio now says that regime change is not an objective (although "we would love to see the regime replaced"). Also the US knew Israel was going to attack, and feared Iran would have attackedUS military personnel in response for Israel's strike.

B'TSELEM was correct in this post from yesterday. Under cover of the Israeli-American offensive on Iran, which could cost countless lives and plunge the entire Middle East into a spiral of violence and destruction, armed settler militias continue to launch organized violent attacks against

The lying, racist Mail on Sunday going Full Trump after its Far Right candidate got spanked in the by-election. We need proper controls on dishonest journalism that peddles racial hatred.

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now. Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

Israel doesn't have the capability to pursue a long war with Iran and the Trump isn't interested, so this will probably end in a few days. Strong analysis from Ori Goldberg for @newlinesmag.bsky.social newlinesmag.com/running-note...
