Great Khamenei obituary by @ksadjadpour
Karim Sadjadpour@ksadjadpour
Khamenei is dead. The end of an era: "He was felled by Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, an American president and Israeli Prime Minister whom he loathed. He lived by “Death to America” and “Death to Israel.” He died by death from America and Israel." theatlantic.com/international/…

@SwipeWright @janeclarejones Colin, your intial response was not only callous given a man lost his life, it was wrong. I have followed your work on the science of gender medicine but I have been disturbed by the contortions you’ve made to defend the insanity ICE has unleashed in Minneapolis.

Jane, this is untrue. I think this case is different than the Good case in many respects. I also did not "initially defend this" one. I specifically told people to wait for evidence, and then came out saying that if my assessment was accurate then it would NOT have been a justified shooting. The evidence has since again shifted to where it appears there was a unintended discharge of Pretti's gun by a BP agent, leaving us in the unfortunate situation of the shooting being unjustified given that Pretti was disarmed and did not shoot, yet also potentially justified from the officer's POV given that other officers yelled "gun!" which was followed by a gunshot.
It's a terrible situation, but very nuanced. I don't believe you have fully assessed what actually happened.
And no, I don't and have never supported a "fascist regime." I take things issue by issue and call out errors when I see them regardless of what side of the political spectrum they're coming from.

It's the same false narrative they told about Good, which you defended.
And you were initially defending this and have only stopped because there is clear as day evidence they shot him multiple times in the back.
You are supporting a fascist regime Colin.
Fucking own it.

I think we can confidently say that this narrative is not only false but extremely irresponsible and counterproductive.

@HormoneHangover You’re hilarious. I’ve read this several times. Microdosing trade.

The country on strike. Massive numbers on the streets. Internet cut. Mullahs seen at Moscow airport. Yet the regime still shoot at protestors. Many dead. But the people keep on coming. The courage of our fellow human beings is staggering. #IranRevolution2026

This @nytimes analysis of the ICE shooting is excellent. Videos Contradict Trump Administration Account of ICE Shooting in Minneapolis nytimes.com/video/us/10000… via @NYTimes

What I find most shocking about this NYT investigation is that while @PeteHegseth was going out of his way to undermine Ukraine his frm colleagues at Fox were calling Trump to plead for more weapons.
