in case anyone ever needed confirmation that it's not about building a democratic Iran, it's about collapsing Iran and turning it into a land of rubble that can be bombed every six months

Each one of those three missiles costs 33% more than the annual budget of the national park where I work.

"Did you know you were going to shoot off the top of a four year old girl's head and look across her carseat down into her skull and see into her throat? And did you know that her dad would say to you 'Please sir can I take her body home?'" www.youtube.com/watch?v=RThM...

rough day for anyone who believes in the sanctity of human life

genuinely kinda insane to go for a reigme change war *after* the mass protests that rocked the country were put down

The “Israel War Room” posts this clip of a worldwide children’s advocate and a mayor fighting for free childcare right after bombing a girls’ school and killing at least 85 students

My statement on President Trump’s combat operations in Iran⬇️

i think one of the most frustrating things about all of this is that there are people who can stop it, and they don’t even have to do anything grand or heroic, they just need to do their fucking jobs

The imperial presidency was a mistake. It has led to destruction of clean air and water, mass death abroad, destruction of cancer research, and now illegal war. We must re-empower Congress, the most democratic branch, and a strong civil service. We can. But that will require Supreme Court reform.

He simply has to go. This is idiotic, and it's also clearly deeply held and ideological.

“How many of these gentle people have I helped to kill just by paying my taxes?" June Jordan, 1984

You can just say things.

Various realms had traditions of a summer capital, or a traveling court, but leave it to the Trump admin to establish the weekend white house, a private club that remains open to members while hosting the government.

Take it over how? With what? Will they kill Pezeshkian? Ghalibaf? Larijani? This is no regime change promise, its abdication of responsibility to a people who were just mass butchered. "You go and do it. If you fail, well tough luck"

do people understand there is no ground invasion on the table like we aren't getting "bogged down" in anything because there's nothing to be stuck in but also all the regime has to do to not be changed is......continue existing while various things around the country are incoherently bombed

This war could end tomorrow and the US and the region will be living with the consequences for many years. You cannot put what Trump unleashed back in the box.

Just want to note that 3am in Washington is like 11:30am in Tehran. The American people are the ones he snuck up on in the dead of night to conduct this illegal attack, not the purported enemy.

People who a decade ago spent their spare time gleefully memeing away about pyramids of skulls made up of what they viewed as America's civilisational enemies now under Trump have influence over security institutions that can unleash devastation on anyone willing to hand them the sliver of a pretext

Me and the boys at the battle of Jerusalem blah blah blah, you know the fucking meme, what a fucking joke of a fucking country.

I think if I'd gotten away with attempting a coup, suffered no consequences for it, then won an election four years later, got away with executing citizens in the streets and foreigners in boats, and successfully abducted a head of state, I too might think I could just bomb my way to regime change

Throughout the entire Cold War, "peace talks in Geneva" used to mean something. Those days are now over. The United States used the Geneva talks as cover to finalise military operational planning for an all-out offensive attack. Nothing but a cynical charade. An illegal war. 21st century hell.

How long will we continue to tolerate the rule of these demons? Horrible, wrathful, venal men who hate peace and decency

In the past, sometimes presidents have said it’s just a military operation or limited airstrikes to skirt Congress. Trump has unilaterally launched major combat operations, declaring war with the goal of regime change. A major violation of the U.S. Constitution, also illegal under international law

This is quickly turning into the worst-case scenarios that were avoided in the Israel-Iran exchanges of 2024 and last year's Israel/US-Iran exchanges. All gloves are off, and all targets are fair game. No way to predict where this goes now. Buckle up.

At least 40 students killed so far at a school in Minab according to AlJazeera

other countries should sanction the fuck out of us. we should be treated no differently than russia

evil evil evil

hey we're doing an operation called Based Epic Chad. lol. everybody will think this is awesome. we will never end up like Mussolini

Nothing is surprising about the US starting another war. Nothing is more dangerous to Earth and mankind at large than the United States and its complete and utter failure to curtail the worst excesses of humanity. The US oligarchy and its influence on global politics must end.

Iran signed the JCPOA with the US, China, and the EU in 2015. Two years later, the US withdrew and imposed sanctions purely out of spite. 8 years later, America and Israel bomb Iran completely unprovoked. Now we're doing it again not even a year after that. There is no winning with the United States

is the strongly worded letter taking too long, like why am i awake and posting before the supposed leader of the fucking opposition party. what are we fucking doing here, man

we live in hell

he straight up says literally in the prior sentence that "bombs will be dropping everywhere" yeah please take over your government after i turn all of your civilian infrastructure into ash. fuck off you hitlerite.

Hey just following up on this

Should be an instant impeachment but we live in hell

"preemptive strikes" WAR OF AGGRESSION

Wise words

his torn body and gashed soul bled into one another; and so interfusing, made him mad

"distressed human assets" is one of the most cursed phrases I've ever read

If these guys had even the tiniest shred of capability for self-reflection they’d realize they were used as props by people who are literally putting words in their mouths but alas

(President Trump: I love the guy. He's a communist, but he's like my Indian son. JD Vance: [closing a 4chan draft calling Zohran Mamdani a "filthy pajeet terrorist"] I mean look: absolutely, sir. Tell me how to feel and I will try.

why are they saying "unlock" like it's an icon on trump's skill tree and not something completely made up

I think that if you are a United States Senator that wants to kill a bunch of people you should know at least as much about their country as Homer Simpson from an episode that aired thirty years ago.

I have two important questions about this: 1) How is that post still up an hour later? 2) How did a Stew Peters tweet even make its way onto the feed of either Platner or his digital director? I'll say this: I've never heard of this many staff resignations on a campaign up in the polls before.

Yet again, ICE is using blatantly illegal trickery to circumvent judicial warrant requirements and abduct a student. These are the tactics of brownshirts. That’s why I’ve long been calling to abolish ICE. And why Congress should not grant them one more penny. (1/2)
