This week's bonus episode is a close read of an article from Current Affairs titled What Is Fascism—And Why the Definition Matters by Abel Sterling. We found some merit in this article and decided it would form the basis of a good discussion. Stay tuned for part two.

From universities to medical research centers, Israel and the US have been systematically attacking Iran’s technical infrastructure.
While claiming their only issue is with Iran’s rulers, they have targeted its entire people and their achievements.
It is not a conspiracy anymore.
Hilarious. Watch oligarchy work.
I realize this is confusing, but the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran isn’t a domestic political story.
On Tuesday, Israel struck a major pharmaceutical factory in Tehran that is one of the country’s top producers of cancer drugs and anaesthetics.
As the world’s attention shifts to the US–Israeli war on Iran and Lebanon, the Israeli occupation continues killing Palestinians in Gaza. The farcical ceasefire is violated every day amid deafening silence. From restricted aid to the expanding “Yellow Line,” the genocide in Gaza continues.
Trump and Putin: the climate heroes we deserve
This week, we read an article by inveterate shitlib, defender of liberal imperialism, and misunderstander of history, @jonrauch.bsky.social Rauch has changed his mind about Trump being a fascist, and we are here to tell him he shouldn't have.

Oh look its Tony Blair, the idiot sidekick of George W Bush, who was there for every war crime in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Makes sense he's also cool with war crimes in Iran.
Sure wish US and UK terrorists like Blair and Bush had gone to prison forever for their crimes.
All broadcast stations will be airing the speech. This is either going to be the biggest development of the century or a complete nothingburger that we will forget quickly. There’s literally no in between. #Trump #Iran #addresstothenation

It's been 66 days since agents killed Alex Pretti.
DHS has body-cam footage.
They haven't released it.
66 days and counting.

People in the US really don't know the only reason Iran has a religious theocracy is that the US overthrew the democratically elected gov't in Iran, and installed the brutal Shah, because they wanted to control their own oil ?
Really ????
We discussed Chapter III of Laudato Si' by the late Pope Francis. This calls for urgent action to address the global environmental crisis,critiques consumerism, inequality, profit seeking and calls for global solidarity to transition to a sustainable economy and protection of vulnerable populations.
Iran to Lebanon: Four million people displaced by US-Israeli war
Iran to Lebanon: Four million people displaced by US-Israeli war https://aje.news/7johr9
The Israeli occupation used the unprovoked US-Israeli war on Iran to resume its war on Lebanon. Earlier this week, it announced the start of a ground invasion along with plans to expand the “buffer zone.” A closer look reveals the real aim: “Greater Israel.”
So the president is sending in 2,500 Marines as the first ground troops deployed in this war, but that's not going to lead to any further escalation?
We've heard that exact same claim before, right down to the specific 2,500 number -- Vietnam, March 1965.
Remind me, how did that wind up working?

Iran Is Forcing The World To Care About US-Israeli Warmongering
Westerners are about to start paying a lot more attention to the war in Iran as massive US-Israeli escalations point to a coming energy crisis set to impact the whole world.

Israeli forces have killed or wounded the equivalent of a classroom’s worth of children every day in Lebanon in the past two weeks of Israel’s escalation against the country, the UN’s children’s agency has reported.
What could go wrong?

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) told Drop Site’s Julian Andreone that Israel has “always been” a liability to the United States, citing Israel’s role in dragging Americans into the Iraq War and now the Iran War. She added that, “It seems like Israeli officials are always pushing for a war,” saying that she’s “not surprised” Joe Kent resigning as Director of National Counterterrorism Center on those grounds. @JulianAndreone | @IlhanMN
