@woodhouseb If it was your family being murdered, you would track down your colleagues. If it was your neighborhood being carpet bombed, you would find them and make them return to work and address this. The only issue here is you live in a bubble and use your privilege like a soother.

I think it’s worth reminding people on this God forsaken forum that Republicans control Congress, the floor, access to the chamber, when to recess, when to return, not funding TSA and FEMA and not requiring Trump to get approval for the war. Blaming Democrats because Republicans closed Congress and won’t confront Trump is the most misguided, performative bullshit imaginable.

Yesterday proved that if a president wanted to, on a whim, he could kill millions of people and Congress wouldn’t even bother to reconvene to stop him.

Is he suggesting we… Immigrate to a different country in search for a better life?????

Yet another unhinged murder spree on the eve of a hollow ceasefire. My god.

Amid the scramble to rescue casualties across multiple Lebanese regions following the latest wave of extensive strikes, Israeli army spokesperson Avichay Adraee issued a new threat, claiming that Hezbollah had moved into “northern Beirut and mixed areas of the city.” He accompanied the statement with a map showing all of Lebanon in red, implying that Israeli strikes would expand geographically. Avichay Adraee deliberately framed his statement to incite the Lebanese population against Hezbollah, claiming the group had “finished destroying the Dahiyeh and is now repositioning itself outside the southern suburb.” For his part, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said that Israel “insisted on separating the war with Iran from the fighting in Lebanon” in order to change the reality on the ground and eliminate threats to northern Israel. This came roughly two hours after the Israeli military launched what it called Operation “Eternal Darkness,” carrying out more than 100 airstrikes within 10 minutes across various Lebanese regions. Preliminary figures from the Lebanese Ministry of Health estimated dozens of fatalities and hundreds of injuries.

@LibyaLiberty I mean, Abraham first felt called by God in Iraq. So...

We are all indigenous to Africa. See how that’s built on the truth, but it isn’t actually the way that word is used.

Israel is now starving ONE MILLION PEOPLE in Gaza while spraying ONE MILLION PEOPLE in Lebanon with banned phosphorus and relentlessly bombing MILLIONS of PEOPLE in Iran violating international law with absolutely no consequences This's what real threat to world peace looks like

@elbeekidzy @SilentlySirs Kurdistan, northern Iraq.

@SilentlySirs Which country?

An airstrike targets the American University in Sulaymaniyah.

@PeregrafNews Whose job was it to tell Iran that the UN site isn't being used these days? They're not doing a very good job. Might be time for an HR review.

#BREAKING: Loud explosion heard in #Sulaymaniyah a short while ago. A security source told Peregraf that a drone attack targeted the former United Nations headquarters on Ri’aya Hill. No casualties reported. The same location was also targeted in a similar attack last night. #USIsraelIranWar #IranWar #Kurdistan

@theepicmap Iran is around $4000. Iraq around $6000. If you ever wondered about the effects of war and US sanctions.

The Israeli military has been deploying in Lebanon the techniques of healthcare destruction it developed in Gaza. In less than three weeks, 128 medical facilities and ambulances bombarded, 40 healthcare workers killed and 107 wounded. Medicide.

I have been reporting on and documenting settler terrorism in the West Bank for three years, and I have never seen anything like this. Tonight’s major pogrom across the West Bank was highly organized and fully backed by the Israeli government and the Israeli army. It did not happen in a vacuum -- it was fueled by incitement from Israel’s Finance Minister, Bezalel Smotrich, and other Israeli Knesset members. If this tells us anything, it is that this is not the peak; it is a warning of something far worse that may soon unfold in the West Bank: Genocide and ethnic cleansing.

English |عربي| کوردی "My mother told me it was just fireworks." 💔 In our latest interviews, children in Erbil and Slemani shared their experiences during recent drone attacks. Heartbreakingly, many parents must find ways to explain the unexplainable. While some children thought the explosions were celebrations, others knew exactly what was happening. Every child deserves to grow up in peace, protected from the shadows of war. They deserve to look up at the sky and see only beauty, without the weight of fear. 🕊️ "دایکم پێی وتم کە ئەوانە یاری ئاگرینن" 💔 لە شاری هەولێر و سلێمانی منداڵان باسی خۆیان بۆکردین لەکاتی هێرشە موشەکییەکان بۆ شارەکانیان. بەداخەوە، زۆرێک لە دایک و باوکان ناچار دەبن بە ڕوونکردنەوەی ئەو ڕووداوانەی باسکردنیان ئاسان نییە. زۆرێک لە منداڵان وادەزانن کە تەقینەوەکان یاری ئاگرینن و بۆ مەبەستی خۆشی بەکاردێن، هەندێکی تریان زۆر بەباشی دەزانن چی ڕوودەدات. هەموو منداڵێک شایەنی ئەوەیە لە ئاشتیدا بژی و دوربێت لە جەنگ. ئەوان دەبێت لە کاتێکدا سەیری ئاسمان دەکەن تەنها جوانی ببینن و ترس لە دڵیاندا نەبێت. "أمي قالت إنها مجرد ألعاب نارية" 💔 في أحدث مقابلاتنا في أربيل والسليمانية، شارك الأطفال معنا تجاربهم خلال هجمات الطائرات المسيرة الأخيرة. للأسف، يجد العديد من الآباء والأمهات أنفسهم مضطرين لإيجاد تفسير لوضعٍ لا يمكن تفسيره. فبينما ظن بعض الأطفال أن الانفجارات كانت بسبب الاحتفالات، أدرك آخرون تمامًا ما يحدث. يستحق كل طفل أن يكبر في سلام، بعيدًا عن الحرب. يستحقون أن ينظروا إلى السماء ويروا الجمال دون أن يشعروا بالخوف. 🕊️ #KSC #ChildrensRights #Erbil #Slemani #Kurdistan #HumanitarianAid #ChildSafety #PeaceForChildren #EndConflict #SaveTheChildren #Advocacy #CommunitySupport #Iraq #HumanRights

1 in 7 people are now displaced in lebanon. i really despise having to always contextualize our suffering for the west but please imagine 1.1 million people in nyc trying to find a place to hide from airstrikes, and when they finally find a tent on the street, thats bombed too.

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

@crampell Forget about a Nobel. He needs a Booker Prize for fiction.

This is how you do foreign policy. On the president’s privately owned social network that loses $700m a year to run a website

BREAKING: The Washington Post reports Trump told Kurdish leaders they must choose between the US and Iran

@atrupar Is it not the Epstein class that tortures, rapes, and murders? There's plenty of evidence of that.

Stephen Miller: "The human rights that we are gonna protect are not of the savages that torture and rape and murder. The human rights we are going to protect are of the peaceable citizens who have an absolute human right to live in physical safety and security every day of their lives."

@jasmineelgamal And they are.

And they feel absolutely empowered to do so because when they levelled Gaza, they did so with nearly absolute impunity and paid almost no price for it. Why wouldn’t they think they can get away with it again?

@vvanwilgenburg I just don't see what stops Turkey from absolutely laying waste to this area. They know the land, they have tons of operatives in place, and a white hot hatred of the Kurdish people. The US/Israel would do nothing to protect the Kurds against Turkey.

""...these armed groups are lying in wait, ready to throw their political and military weight behind a potential U.S. effort to overthrow Iran’s ruling mullahs"
