Pleased to speak to @mattduss.bsky.social about a potential US war on Iran. "There’s no plausible legal basis for the Trump administration to attack Iran." foreignpolicy.com/2026/02/27/d...

Today marks 14 years since 17-year-old, unarmed Trayvon Martin was shot and killed while walking home. 14 years later, we’re still demanding a country where our children can walk home in peace — without being treated like a threat.

I kind of miss when the goal of the super rich was just to not pay taxes, not engineer society to their dorm room racist visions.

One can & must condemn Iran's large-scale killing of protestors without siding with Trump & Netanyahu and their plan for war against Iran. United States & Israeli aggression only strengthened the position of hardliners & "Mossad agents are among protesters" from Israel gave an excuse for slaughter.

If United States attacks Iran will European Parliament president (@europarl.europa.eu) Roberta Metsola (@president.europarl.europa.eu) come up with enthusiastic social media posts supporting the attack, like when USA attacked Venezuela? And Ursula von der Leyen (@vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu)?

If United States attacks Iran - as now seems near certain - it will likely come before negotiations break off officially. USA & Israel have used ongoing negotiations to carry out surprise attacks on Iran, Lebanon & Palestinians for several times, so it shouldn't be a surprise nor work this time.

NEW: The UK Government has just confirmed it is in the process of removing all its staff from Iran.

Watching people try to backfill a rationale for attacking Iran is like watching people try to backfill a logic for the Greenland fixation or the windmill antipathy.

True. In 2002, I was a staffer on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Many Dems (& some) GOP Members pushed back against Bush's looming war on #Iraq-- although many of them (like my boss Joe Biden) ended up supporting the disastrous invasion. War with #Iran could be even worse. We must say so.

Come on, do you really think the Democrats have been leading a vigorous public campaign against war with Iran? Do you really think it doesn’t matter if the opposition party signals that something is worth opposing? And no, a vote on a war powers resolution some time next week is not serious.

Inflation was “obliterated” the same way Iran’s nuclear program was.

And the plan of the depraved members of the so -called Board of Peace is to just build resorts over them and party .

"Quoting a Pakistani military source, our colleagues on the ground reported that an Afghan Taliban leadership site was also targeted in Laghman province in central Afghanistan."

"An Afghan government source has told Al Jazeera that a Pakistani air strike targeted the Khost province in southeastern Afghanistan. An Afghan official also reported that 3 civilians were killed and 7 injured when a Pakistani shell hit a house in Paktika province."

"Kabul claimed 55 Pakistani soldiers were killed & 19 outposts captured. Pakistan acknowledged 2 soldiers had been killed but dismissed the other claims... It said... had eliminated at least 133 Afghan fighters... while destroying at least 27 Afghan outposts." www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

#Arctic climate rankings are now updated for January 2026: zacklabe.com/archive-2026/. Last month was warm (relatively speaking), and sea ice was low. #SciComm #DataViz #OpenScience #OpenData

People don't realize the magnitude of heat buffering that is provided by Arctic Sea Ice, nor the danger possible if warming shallow seas off Siberia cause venting of methane to increase. The ice volume lost since 1979 represents 4.44 Million-Quadrillion Btu of heat energy buffer no longer available.

Sea Ice volume is half its 1979 January level. The drop in 2017 was after an El Niño but then a 3-pete La Niña gave a break to SST increases. Melting may continue as we are forecast to see an El Niño this year. Earth's temp is still buffered by latent heat of ice to water. Someday we will have a BOE

It might be the case they don’t care, but the politics of this are crystal clear. Maybe you drop enough money into ads and you can overcome it, but color me skeptical.

If AIPAC is invested in strengthening the pro-Israel faction in the Democratic coalition, they would recognize that a Trump-led war on Iran in coordination with Israel would be *catastrophic* for their candidates in Dem primaries.

Real change—real liberation—can only come about through solidarity between grassroots movements. Like other autocrats around the world, Trump aims to sideline ordinary people, reducing all politics to a matter of tyrants contending for power at the expense of the human beings they rule.

Protesters in Iran are confronting an oppressive government—but a puppet regime serving the US and Israel will not help them. By attacking Iran, Trump is not necessarily seeking to overthrow the government, but simply to subordinate it to his will, the way he did the government of Venezuela.

"Any military or imperial intervention can only weaken the struggle from below and strengthen the Islamic Republic’s hand to carry out repression." There are genuine grassroots movements resisting the Iranian government. They do not want Donald Trump to attack Iran. Listen to their voices.
