Despicable fucking government.

With the Trump DOJ moving to vacate the Jan. 6 seditious conspiracy convictions against key members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, it’s worth remembering some of the video and audio evidence presented in their cases.

US-Israeli strike on orphanage west of Tehran kills two, Iranian media reports Sana Noor Haq By Adam Pourahmadi and Sana Noor Haq At least two people have been killed by a US-Israeli strike on an orphanage west of Tehran, Iran’s semi-official Fars News Agency reported Monday. Five others were injured in the attack on a newly built orphan charity complex in the city of Fardis, about 25 miles west of Tehran, the agency quoted a regional official as saying. Rights groups have condemned the number of civilians and children killed in US and Israeli strikes and the targeting of educational establishments and residential areas. In Iran alone, strikes have killed at least 230 children and injured a further 1,800, the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency reported on Sunday.

CNN reports that the US/Israel bombed an Iranian ORPHANAGE, killing at least two people.
