Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.
Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.
We live in Orwellian times.
I’ll be on @msnownews.bsky.social with @chrislhayes.bsky.social talking about the US strike on the Iranian elementary school and the rising civilian casualties in this war. Live at 8.40pm Eastern.
Join us.
You can tell that the US blew up that school because everyone’s doing everything possible to find a way to disqualify the obvious. The country that was bragging about knowing everything it hits suddenly being quiet and wanting to move past the situation while its journalists blame the AI system? Ok.
"President Barack Obama is a uniquely gifted orator. In his eulogy for Jesse Jackson, he had the cadence of a preacher, then smoothly transitioned to a presidential tone, and finally humbled himself as a little brother who was thankful. This level of articulation deserves to be studied"
I would just like to point out to the Millennial children of Iranian exiles who are all up in my feed praising Trump - and who generally I have great sympathy for - that this is the horse you’re backing.
I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)
Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.
Yes, she did 💙
The protocol is open, many people are building beautiful things on it. Jack Dorsey is full of shit.

So the same Russia telling Iran how to better kill Americans is now being rewarded by America?
Our troops are dying this isn’t a video game. The White House is posting so-called “hype” videos that mix real footage from the war in Iran with clips from movies and video games like Call of Duty. It’s an absolute disgrace.
If we survive this, I really hope parents take a long look at how they are teaching empathy to their children. It's so obvious that that is the missing ingredient in huge chunks of the population, amplified by social media algorithms and cultural rewards for reactions rather than thoughtfulness.
She didn’t cut him in.
White House: the witness’s allegations are “completely baseless” and “backed by zero credible evidence.”
Fact: FBI found her credible enough to interview repeatedly, and she received a financial settlement from the Epstein estate.
This is the part we've been warning about for years: Trump will start World War 3 to keep the Epstein files hidden.
Yes. And we have to talk about this now, because talking about it is the first step to making it seem like a callous crime rather than a surprising emergency.
OK, so it's not a secular "war" we are engaging in with Iran; it's a religious "crusade."
This is one of the most jaw dropping moments of Trump’s presidency. Up there with brainstorming about injecting bleach and shining light up orifices to cure COVID.
this is explicitly genocidal
White folks are salty about Kamala Harris saying she predicted all this at Rev. Jesse Jackson’s funeral.
My response? Fuck y’all and stay mad.
You should’ve listened.
Anyone with a soul wouldn’t support this. Used to think the Biden slogan “fighting for the soul of the nation” was cheesy. Bc we’re all so fucking jaded, broken, & used as pawns. Now I agree, “our souls” tell us what’s right vs wrong. Bc at some point we have to stop being on the side of war.
So he's saying that he knew Israel was going to attack Iran and he believed Iran would retaliate by attacking US bases, so we had to strike first since Israel was going to get US forces attacked.

He forgot but it's understandable it's déjà vu of Netanyahu's manipulation of Bush tricking him into attacking Iraq on false manufactured intelligence on WMDs by Mossad 👿 now we have fake intelligence on WMDs ballistic missiles and more Mossad BS 😒
Rubio admits that Trump knew his strikes on Iran would raise gas prices for Americans. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
