Child sitting in front of razor wire reading a book with IDF soldiers in the background.
Palestinian children in the West Bank were prevented from going to school by Israeli security forces who closed a road in the middle of the night and set up razor wire.
The children tried to cross through the razor wire and were reportedly tear-gassed.

This is your reminder that Sam Altman SA’d his 3 year old sister when he was 12, and continued to do so until he was 21.
Those of us who warned about treating right-wing extremism as just a counterterrorism issue were telling people that the right might just flip the script when they’re in power.
And now Trump is doing just that.
Here’s something I wrote about it… five years ago. newrepublic.com/article/1622...
If anyone requires an identifiable reason to not attend the White House Correspondents Dinner, think of this man, Mohammed Wishah, and then go do something else with your evening.
And she has since been deported.

Instead of spending an absurd $100 billion on bombs that’ll be dropped on schoolchildren and hospitals, Congress should use taxpayer dollars to actually benefit the American taxpayer by funding childcare, healthcare, and education.
Americans don’t want to pay for Israel’s war.

In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful To the people of the United States of America, and to all those who, amid a flood of distortions and manufactured narratives, continue to seek the :truth and aspire to a better life Iran-by this very name, character, and identity—s one of the oldest continuous civilizations in human history. Despite its historical and geographical advantages at various times, Iran has never, in its modern history, chosen the path of aggression, expansion, colonialism, or domination. Even after enduring occupation, invasion, and sustained pressure from global powers-and despite possessing military superiority over many of its neighbors-Iran has never initiated a war. . Yet it has resolutely and bravely repelled those who have attacked it The Iranian people harbor no enmity toward other nations, including the people of America, Europe, or neighboring countries. Even in the face of repeated foreign interventions and pressures throughout their proud history, Iranians have consistently drawn a clear distinction between governments and the peoples they govern. This is a deeply rooted principle in Iranian culture and collective consciousness—not a temporary political stance For this reason, portraying Iran as a threat is neither consistent with historical reality nor with present-day observable facts. Such a perception is the product of political and economic whims of the powerful— the need to manufacture an enemy in order to justify pressure, maintain military dominance, sustain the arms industry, and control strategic markets. In such an environment, if a threat does not •exist, it is invented
Within this same framework, the United States has concentrated the largest number of its forces, bases, and military capabilities around Iran—a country that, at least since the founding of the United States, has never initiated a war. Recent American aggressions launched from these very bases have demonstrated how threatening such a military presence truly is. Naturally, no country confronted with such conditions would forgo strengthening its defensive capabilities. What Iran has done-and continues to do is a measured response grounded in legitimate self-defense, and by no means an initiation of . war or aggression Relations between Iran and the United States were not originally hostile, and early interactions between the Iranian and American people were not marred with hostlity or coup d'état-an illegal American 1953 tension. The turning point, however, was the intervention aimed at preventing the nationalization of Iran's own resources. That coup disrupted Iran's democratic process, reinstated dictatorship, and sowed deep distrust among Iranians toward U.S. policies. This distrust deepened further with America's support for the Shah's regime, its backing of Saddam Hussein during the imposed war of 1980s, the imposition of the longest and most comprehensive sanctions in modern the history, and ultimately, unprovoked military aggression-twice, in the midst of .negotiations-against Iran Yet all these pressures have failed to weaken Iran. On the contrary, the country has grown before the Islamic %30 stronger in many areas: literacy rates have tripled-from roughly today; higher education has expanded dramatically; significant %90 Revolution to over advances have been achieved in modern technology; healthcare services have improved; and infrastructure has developed at a pace and scale incomparable to the past. These are measurable, observable realities that stand independent of fabricated narratives At the same time, the destructive and inhumane impact of sanctions, war…
on the lives of the resilient Iranian people must not be underestimated. The continuation of military aggression and recent bombings profoundly affect people's lives, attitudes, and perspectives. This reflects a fundamental human truth: when war inflicts irreparable harm on lives, homes, cities, and futures, •people will not remain indifferent toward those responsible This raises a fundamental question: Exactly which of the American people's interests are truly being served by this war? Was there any objective threat from Iran to justify such behavior? Does the massacre of innocent children, the destruction of cancer-treatment pharmaceutical facilities, or boasting about bombing a country "back to the stone ages" serve any purpose other than ?further damaging the United States' global standing Iran pursued negotiations, reached an agreement, and fulfilled all its commitments. The decision to withdraw from that agreement, escalate toward confrontation, and launch two acts of aggression in the midst of negotiations were destructive choices made by the U.S. government-choices that served the delusions of a foreign aggressor Attacking Iran's vital infrastructure-including energy and industrial facilities-directly targets the Iranian people. Beyond constituting a war crime, such actions carry consequences that extend far beyond Iran's borders. They generate instability, increase human and economic costs, and perpetuate cycles of tension, planting seeds of resentment that will endure for years. This is not a demonstration of strength; it is a sign of strategic bewilderment and an .inability to achieve a sustainable solution Is it not also the case that America has entered this aggression as a proxy for Israel, influenced and manipulated by that regime? Is it not true that Israel, by manufacturing an Iranian threat, seeks to divert global attention away from its crimes toward the Palestinians? Is it not evident that Israel now aims to fight Iran to the last American soldie…
the burden of its delusions onto Iran, the region, and the United States itself in ?pursuit of illegitimate interests ?ls "America First" truly among the priorities of the U.S. government today invite you to look beyond the machinery of misinformation-an integral part of this aggression-and instead speak with those who have visited Iran. Observe the many accomplished Iranian immigrants-educated in Iran-who now teach and conduct research at the world's most prestigious universities, or contribute to the most advanced technology firms in the West. Do these realities align with the distortions you are being ?told about Iran and its people Today, the world stands at crossroads. Continuing along the path of confrontation is more costly and futile than ever before. The choice between confrontation and engagement is both real and consequential; its outcome will shape the future for generations to come. Throughout its millennia of proud history, Iran has outlasted many aggressors. All that remains of them are tarnished names in history, while Iran endures-resilient, dignified, .and proud

Can you imagine if this was an Arab state planning to execute tens of thousands of Jews. The world would be in uproar. Why does Israel get to do this virtually uncensored?
This 50 yr old woman spent 5 months in jail accused of a crime in a state she's never even been to, because Clearview AI misidentified her as the suspect.
A judge signed off on it, cops went along with it, no process in place to even question the AI.

Imagine if Iran bombed Washington, killed the U.S. President, politicians, diplomats and top generals, what would you call it? Terrorists.
The U.S. bombed Tehran, killed its head of state, politicians, diplomats and top generals. Why do you call it a "pre emptive strike"!
Let’s stop softening the language. The pregnant detainees in the Texas ICE camp are children.
They are not “young women.” They are minors.
If pregnancies occurred while they were detained, every ICE officer must be investigated for child sexual assault.
These children must be freed.

The 33-year-old Columbia University protester had been held in immigration detention centre for a year.
They are doing this purely to intimidate journalists and activists. They want these stories to get out because they want us to be scared.
And they are also doing it because they take pleasure in it, and do it and much worse to many more people in these concentration camps.

This is what we should focus impeachment proceedings on, at least initially.
Impeach the Dogebros. Force them into public hearings to tar and feather their smug asses.

“Almost all the 165 people killed in the attack were girls aged between seven and 12, according to local officials. There were around 170 girls at the school in southern Iran’s Minab at the time.“

So ChatGPT tells people to kill themselves, and OpenAI's response is to shift responsibility to unpaid, untrained, non-professional friends and family members.
So if you get designated as the "trusted contact," you're doing terrifying unpaid work for this evil company.
