Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf: “Iran is fighting for humanity. “The world is either with Gaza and against this colonial terror regime, or it stands with the Epstein class and child torturers. There is no middle ground.”

It was the US which requested a meeting with the Iranian parliament speaker, a senior Iranian official told Reuters. The National Security Council has not yet reviewed Washington's request, the source said.

Lots of premature celebration today that Trump seems to have taken an off ramp. I'd say it is far more likely he is just managing the markets before the troops go in. You don't move an airborne division and two marine expeditionary units half way around the world for nothing.

Important words to remember amidst Donald Trump’s costly, chaotic unilateral decision to bring our country into war. Here’s a #CupOfJoe with a latte strength from Jimmy Carter’s Nobel Prize acceptance speech.

Prima facie evidence of market manipulation by Trump administration insiders, again.

And Trump's just making shit up, again www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Trump says something to tank the markets. Buys the dip. Two day later he says he’s reversIng course, spiking the market. He sells the spike. Trump and his insiders are making billions on this war.

and the DHS which is supposed to protect us from exactly this type of threat isn’t open 😬

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps are trolling Trump on TV, in English: "Hey Trump, you are fired! You are familiar with this sentence. Thank you for your attention to this matter."

If you’ve got the time, this is an interesting read - a deep-dive into why the Trump administration is a “paedophile protection unit”.

Freudian slip of the century 😂

Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central HQ Spokesperson: “If Iran’s fuel and energy infrastructure is attacked by the enemy, all energy infrastructure, information technology systems, and desalination facilities belonging to the United States and the regime in the region will be targeted.”

The enthousiasm with which Zionists embrace literal antisemites in Europe's far right (and vice versa) is something to behold

It's SCIENCE!!!!!

Here we go.

Trump hugely annoyed to find that NATO is not his personal bitch.

Iran's military is warning 'parks, recreational areas and tourist destinations' worldwide won't be safe for enemies. (AP)

NEW: This new report, from BBC, is the best takedown of the insanity of Trump you will see anywhere. Calm, coherent and repeating only Trump’s own words. Devastating. Brilliant work once again from Roz Atkins. (🎥 BBC News)

The US military is speeding up the deployment of thousands of Marines and sailors to the Middle East, Newsmax says. The USS Boxer group and 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit are leaving early, with about 4,000 personnel.

The Trump Administration attempted to make an example of Minnesota during Operation Metro Surge. Instead, Minnesotans set an example for the rest of the country that decency and compassion will always triumph over fear and division. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

I interviewed Dr. Tisa Wenger about her great new book, “Spirits of Empire: How Settler Colonialism Made American Religion.” Check it out

No one is going to forget about the Epstein files #Pinks

Ossoff: "The American people need to know that the president is fundraising for his political campaign and his PAC using images of American service members killed in action, and it's a disgrace"

Trump is still considering whether to send American forces into Iran to seize nuclear material “which would be a very dangerous operation”, CBS News reports. This would be his way to get out of the war to attempt to save his reputation. And he’d be gambling with American lives to do it.

IRGC Navy Commander Alireza Tangsiri: “Oil facilities associated with America are now on par with American bases and will come under fire with full force. “We warn citizens and workers to stay away from these facilities.”

He’s not saying do not start a bloodbath. He’s saying sell the bloodbath better

This is so damn cool. ☄️ The sonic “boom” heard from Ohio to Kentucky was from a meteorite traveling 40,000 mph that exploded upon entering Earth’s atmosphere, strong enough to shake homes in several states.

I am so sick of this son of a bitch and his shredding of our founding documents.

everyone please enjoy thirty seconds of a corgi having negative brain cells

I too worry this is coming, and I may be too cynical but I think this fellow who wrote the letter is probably going to run on it

A very American deep dive into media control, war and performance politics. The louder the narrative management becomes, the weaker the position underneath it, which leads me to ask - what are they so worried about?

Reality check from Iran’s Foreign Minister:

Pakistan’s jets have bombed central Kabul.

How not to take the wrong suitcase…. Elon with Epstein suitcases arrive in Austin for SXSW

Ah just say: "We will help as soon as we can under international law...;)"

In a better world support would be conditional on: 1) Removal of all tariffs introduced since Nov 24. 2)UN mandated peace agreement and peacemaking force. 3) Netanyahu and Trump’s resignation 4) Fresh elections in Israel and the US.

5) Mutual, UN monitored, disarmament of Israel, Iran and other gulf states. 6) UN peacemaking force deployed to Gaza and the Westbank. 7) unrestricted aid for Gaza and the Westbank. 8) illegal Westbank settlements removed. 9) Regional UN led conference to promote transition to democracy.

10) Creation of independent Palestinian state.

the pace of awful news has outstripped our ability to give it the attention and duration it all deserves

BREAKING: UK REJECTS TRUMP’S PLEA TO SEND WARSHIPS TO RE-OPEN THE HORMUZ STRAIT. 🇬🇧 The UK has joined France who earlier refused Trump’s demand for a global flotilla to escort tankers in the Persian Gulf. Having abused allies and shredded international alliances, Trump now looks alone & isolated.
