Trump: “We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate.” Trump (and I guess the world) are benefiting from the complete dereliction of the media to have reported on this ten point plan. It is weeks old. But I am fine letting Trump pretend it’s brand new and he forced it out of them.

Yes it should be a humiliation, the US sneak attacked them, killed their leaders, mass murdered school girls and destroyed their critical infrastructure. What do people think Iran would agree to exactly?
Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦@AdamKinzinger

Good lord. If we cede control of the strait to Iran…. And agree to REPARATIONS…. This will be the biggest humiliation in American history

Trump's insanely stupid & evil war ends in perhaps the most humiliating defeat in US history. The ruling classes will be furious--at Trump and at Iran. Things could get very weird & dangerous. I wouldn't expect this ceasefire to last. Neither does the IRI, from what I'm reading.

'I will now admit I was wrong about everything, but in a very specific way that absolves me of how wrong I was for everything up to now and also in no way concedes anything to those who were right'
Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼@Noahpinion

For what it's worth, I think America should cancel its alliance with Israel, which is obviously a bad and unhelpful ally. But unlike leftists and rightists, I don't actually think canceling it will fix any of our fundamental problems, or help people in Gaza.

A grim milestone in Lebanon… Since March 2, Israeli attacks have now killed over 1500 people in the country. This includes 130 children & 57 medical workers.

About a week ago, union baristas & allies participated in No Kings rallies nationwide and shared what we're up against at Starbucks. Corporate greed makes everything worse - but we know that when we stand together, change is possible. DELETE THE STARBUCKS APP off your phone!

Never forget that Bill Clinton killed half a million Iraqi children under the age of five with sanctions on Iraq during his term. Clinton's Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said "we think the price is worth it." Clinton is also guilty of genocide.

Nothing but horror at Trump's threat to to kill a "whole civilization" in Iran. This murderous sadism is on Trump, but also on everyone who built this terrible military apparatus, who fanned flames of aggression toward Iran, who declined to clearly denounce the US push for war.

As Trump openly threatens Cuba, we must hear from the leader in the crosshairs. This is an urgent, untold story of Cuba - past and present - through a perspective the West has long distorted to wage war on the island. I’m so excited to share it!
BreakThrough News@BTnewsroom

🎥CUBA AFTER CASTRO | New BT Documentary BreakThrough Media and @AbbyMartin announce the premiere of a landmark documentary featuring the only interview Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel has ever conducted with a U.S. journalist. With new threats of invasion looming, the film reveals a portrait of an island, and its leader, who we are told to hate but know so little about. Premieres April 16 in New York City and available on YouTube April 30. Find or book at screening at CubaAfterCastro.com.

It's long past past time for congressional and DOJ investigations into the foreign ties of Drop Site News. Here's what we know: 🔸️It has at least two "reporters" on the ground in Iran who feed the site regime-approved disinformation and propaganda. 🔸️As I previously uncovered, It has employed at least three Gazan "journalists" with ties to Hamas and Islamic Jihad. 🔸️It recieved at least a $250,000 grant from Soros' Open Society to launch a middle east desk. 🔸️It's published by billionaire communist nepo baby Nika Soon-Shiong. 🔸️Drop Site frequently flies (or is flown?) to the middle east to interview the leaders of U.S.-designated terrorist organizations. And by "interview," i mean massage them for 2.5 hours at a time. In fact, co-founder Jeremy Scahill's first act at Drop Site was a multi-part series of sit-down interviews with senior leaders of both terror groups. 🔸️ Drop Site's MENA editor, Sharif Abdel Kouddous, filed a sympathetic dispatch from the funeral of Hezbollah leader Hasan Nasrallah after he was killed by Israel. 🔸️ Drop Site is fiscally sponsored by the Social Security Works Education Fund while it pursues its own 501(c)(3) status — an arrangement that reduces transparency and allows the outlet to obscure who its other funders are. Bonus: 🔸️Drop Site’s co-founder, Ryan Grim, has tweeted that "The U.S. is a rogue terror state and a cancer on the world" and called president Trump a terrorist.

Drop Site News reports on breaking events with clear sourcing and careful attribution, distinguishing between verified information and claims made by governments or state-linked outlets. In the post at issue (linked below), the information was explicitly identified as coming from Iranian state-linked media and framed as a claim, consistent with our standard editorial practice. Our coverage applies the same approach across all actors, including the United States, Israel, and Iran. In fast-moving conflicts, competing narratives are part of the story, and documenting what each side is saying is essential to understanding how events are being framed and interpreted in real time. As Drop Site reporter Ryan Grim wrote, “anybody who reads our Twitter feed knows that we regularly report official and semi-official statements… Our readers have enough sense not to believe everything every government says, but they do want to know what they’re saying in real time. Other readers, those not interested in knowing what governments adversarial to the U.S. are saying, have endless options to choose from, but we’re not one of them.” We do not limit our reporting to Western or allied sources. Providing visibility into claims made by all sides, with proper attribution, is a core part of our editorial approach. Regarding the reporting at issue, some have accused Drop Site of “promoting” Iranian propaganda for noting that U.S. forces were reportedly bombing areas where a missing airman was believed to be located. That element of the reporting, which we were among the first to surface, was later borne out by subsequent disclosures. Prior to that, we also reported information from journalist Jack Murphy—a U.S. military veteran—who said the recovery had been successful, with clear attribution. Our role is to provide audiences with the information needed to assess developments as they unfold. We do not withhold information from our audience merely because it comes from a source adversarial to the U.S. government, nor do we tell readers what to think. If this is the kind of journalism you think the world needs, link to subscribe is in our bio.

So incomprehensibly stupid and evil. President Biden called Palestinians liars, approved bomb and bullet after bomb and bullet to maim and kills babies and oversaw the Israeli extermination of the Palestinian nation. He and the Democrats oversaw and supported the bombing of every school, hospital, water plant and destroying their access to every life sustaining infrastructure. He, leading a democratic administration with Harris as his number two, oversaw the wiping off of thousands of families from the Gazan civil registry. None of this would be possible without the blank check given to Israel under the Biden-Harris administration that set off the complete psychotic spiral that is killing *our people* and destroying *our countries*.
danisha carter@danishacarterr

if you didn’t vote for the democrats in the last election because “both sides were the same”, why are you now on twitter wailing for the democrats to save you from the current administration lol

Since the US & Israel bombed Irans railway today, I thought I’d share a video of from my 18 hour train ride over 700 miles from Bandar Abbas in the South to Tehran in the north. The train ride cost $8. You get a bed, limitless coffee and tea, and lamb kobideh for lunch.

People surprised that former Presidents aren't speaking out right now, did you get kicked in the head by a horse? Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen, and Somalia were all destroyed by these men but apparently that was fine? There's never been a "lesser" evil.

The problem with seeing anarchist-abolitionists despair about the absence of an anti-war movement for Iran is that they still refuse to reckon with how they have vociferously participated in the delegitimization of the Islamic Republic, and cannot still bring themselves today to recognize that it has paid a price for refusing to abandon Palestine. If you have been arguing for the dismantlement of the IRGC, and therefore the Islamic Republic, for years, how could you expect anything but a defanged anti-war movement today, especially if you still cannot bring yourself to accord any legitimacy to the state formation whose collapse is the strategic aim of this genocidal violence.

Israel bombed and completely destroyed the Rafi-Nia Synagogue in Tehran early Tuesday morning. Iran is home to the second-largest Jewish population in the Middle East. "The Iranian Jewish community always and forever condemns the inhumane acts of the Zionist regime, and there is no difference between the Jewish community of Iran and the wider Muslim community," stated Homayoun Sameh Najafabadi, head of Tehran’s Jewish Association.
