Iranian channels and Israeli media reporting that Iranian missiles have hit the NATO base in Baghdad. (Iranian channels call it Camp Victory, which I think was handed over to the Iraqi military? Also reports that a missile has hit the UK base in Cyprus. Possibly other strikes as well.

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

Susie Wiles is wearing an Apple Watch during a highly classified meeting on Iran. Unreal.

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres: “Military action carries the risk of igniting a chain of events that no one can control in the most volatile region of the world"

Dear Mr Prime Minister, it is possible to simultaneously yearn for regime change in Iran and yet not to celebrate an unprovoked attack on a sovereign nation, an attack that has already killed multiple innocents.

“Antifa” is a sentiment and an organizing principle. There is no membership. He’d have better luck trying to find people who joined Paw Patrol.

I complain about CBC, because it’s not perfect, and fair criticism is allowed and appropriate. But seriously, thank God for CBC in Canada. It needs to be protected.

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org
