Dear Donald Trump, The world is already teetering at the brink of economic catastrophe. Please don't compound it with a nuclear disaster. If you bomb Iran's Bushehr nuclear plant, fallout in the Gulf could make the water too radioactive to desalinate. That's the last thing Gulf nations need. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Terrifying warning. If the US bombs Iran's Bushehr nuclear plant, the radioactive fallout will pollute the entire Persian Gulf. Millions in neighboring Arab states will lose their drinking water and face deadly radiation. A global catastrophe.

America…? A moral compass…? *clears throat* The United States was built on genocide and ethnic cleansing In 1898 it declared itself a ‘global power’ by crushing independence movements in the Philippines, killing at least 200k Filipino civilians From 1912 to 1933 it occupied Nicaragua, violently suppressing nationalist movements From 1915 to 1934 it invaded and occupied Haiti, essentially legalising slave labour From 1916 to 1924 it done the same to the Dominican Republic In 1945 it needlessly dropped two atomic bombs on civilians days before they knew Japan was to surrender, in a ‘display of strength’ to the Soviets In 1953 it overthrew Iran’s democracy in an act of pure self-interest In 1954 it overthrew Guatemala’s democracy leading to decades of violence In 1965 it backed mass killings in Indonesia, enabling the murder of up to a million people In the 1960’s and 1970’s it carpet-bombed Vietnam, killed millions, and poisoned the land From 1969 to 1973 it also carpet-bombed Cambodia with similar effects In 1973 it installed a dictatorship in Chile through a military coup From 1979 to 1989 it armed and funded Afghan militias, destabilising the country for decades In the 1990s it strangled Iraq with sanctions, devastating millions In 2003 it invaded Iraq on a lie, leading to a million dead In 2011 it destroyed Libya, turning a functioning state into a failed one where slave markets now exist In the 2020s it continues unabated, funding and arming the Gaza genocide and more atrocities across the Middle East This is not even close to an exhaustive list of US crimes So, what’s very, very important to understand is not that the United States has lost its ‘moral compass’ — it’s that it’s lost its ability to rewrite history in real time because the internet exists It has lost total control of the narrative Or, in short, now we’re able to see what it really is, and always has been

J Street is AIPAC. If you take - or have taken - ANY money from the pro-Israel lobby - that includes AIPAC, J Street or the dark money PACs being used to launder AIPAC/J Street cash - we're NOT going to vote for you. Democrats - you have 2 years. Figure it out.

Correspondent @K_Willinger, who works for German state broadcaster ARD, has been reporting on the Iran war from Istanbul, Turkey. She says she won’t report from Iran because the censorship there is too extreme. Having spent one week in Iran during the war, I respond to her claims about censorship in Iran in my latest report for Reason2Resist. I also have a question for Ms. Willinger: Is censorship in Iran worse than in Israel (or, for that matter, Germany)? Israel has massacred journalists with gleeful impunity, and all the while, Germany has supported Israel to the hilt. Moreover, the EU (of which Germany is a core member) is imposing crushing economic sanctions on journalists and commentators whose opinions the EU doesn't like. So who are the true enemies of free speech, Ms. Willinger? youtube.com/watch?v=Bcuqe0…

It isn't & yet we need social media to help hold onto what little honest news & press still exists. Long-term we need to make the internet truly free, independent & publicly run.
YourFavoriteGuy@guychristensen_

I can feel the death of social media. It’s no longer fun and harmless and the people know that. The surveillance and manipulation are rocking everyone’s lives. People are posting and engaging in a fundamentally different way than when I was a child.

Narges Bajoghli in Foreign Affairs: Since 1979, Washington has built and maintained a security network across the Gulf designed, fundamentally, to contain Iran. The military bases that Washington initially established on a temporary basis in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates during and after the 1990–91 Gulf War gradually turned into permanent fixtures. The bargain the United States made with these countries was explicit: the Gulf states would align with Washington on matters of regional security, including, later on, by normalizing or at a minimum tolerating the U.S.-Israeli security relationship. In exchange they would receive American security guarantees and the opportunity to prosper within the U.S.-led order. Tehran interpreted these relationships not merely as collective defense but as an offensive alliance that would eventually come for the Iranian regime. The U.S.-led system, it feared, could be turned against Iran in the event of a conflict, cutting off Iran’s trade, strangling its economy, and providing the logistical base for a military campaign that aimed to bring down the Islamic Republic. Tehran also understood that the system’s vulnerability lay in its dependence on Gulf buy-in, which was contingent on the United States’ delivering on its security promises. For years, however, any friction was too slight for Iran to exploit. Gulf states may have had misgivings about certain U.S. policies, but they had confidence in the fundamental bargain they had struck. That confidence began to crack in 2019, when the United States did not defend Saudi Arabia against Iranian strikes on its oil facilities. The cracks deepened further when the United States did not stop Israel from launching a strike on Hamas negotiators in Doha, Qatar, in 2025. The current war has put the U.S.-Gulf bargain under even greater strain. It has exposed an asymmetry in American commitments: U.S. and Israeli air defense systems have been deployed primarily to protect Israel, while the Gulf states have watched their infrastructure burn without equivalent protection. The message received in Abu Dhabi, Doha, Kuwait City, Manama, and Riyadh is that the United States will prioritize Israeli security over Gulf security when forced to choose. Iran has been trying, with limited success, to make this point for decades by ordering targeted strikes that tested Washington’s response and warning Gulf publics about U.S. unreliability, including by highlighting the gap between Washington’s stated commitments and its actual behavior during wars in Iraq and Gaza. But now, the U.S. war with Iran is driving Tehran’s message home. The Gulf states are not pro-Iranian. They are frightened of Iran and angry about its targeting of their economic assets and infrastructure. But they are also, for the first time in a generation, seriously questioning the value of their alignment with Washington. That doubt is precisely what Iran has been working toward. A Gulf that no longer fully trusts Washington’s security guarantees is a Gulf less willing to host American bases, share intelligence, or finance U.S. military operations in the region. Iran’s long-term security depends not on defeating the United States militarily but on making the cost of the U.S. presence in the Gulf too politically expensive for its Arab hosts to sustain. foreignaffairs.com/iran/irans-lon…

🗞️ Judge declines to dismiss charges against Maduro over legal funding dispute Federal Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein said he will not dismiss drug conspiracy charges against kidnapped Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro over a dispute about access to funds for his defense, at least for now. Maduro, who pleaded not guilty, is accused of helping traffic large quantities of cocaine into the U.S. and could face decades in prison. His lawyers argue sanctions are blocking access to Venezuelan state funds needed to hire counsel, The judge noted that with both Maduro and his wife now in U.S. custody, they no longer pose a national security threat—casting doubt on the government’s rationale for restricting access to funds and emphasizing that the right to legal counsel should take priority as the dispute continues.

"the gravest crime against humanity by reason of the definitive break in world history, scale, duration, systemic nature, brutality and enduring consequences that continue to structure the lives of all people through racialized regimes of labour, property and capital." there has never been a reckoning for 250 years of kidnapping, killing, buying, selling, "breeding," whipping people; stripping them of their identity, language, and religion; raping, riping families apart, enslaving, brutalizing, demeaning, degrading, and far worse. nor has there been a reckoning for the centuries that followed of slavery by other names. there ought to be a reckoning. we have a national Jewish holocaust museum (which happened in Europe), with at least 43 other major Jewish holocaust museums, and hundreds of minor jewish holocaust installations, libraries, etc. but there is NOT ONE federal museum dedicated to the Maafa (African Holocaust) and NOT ONE federal museum dedicated to the genocide of Indigenous Americans.

The US, Israel, and (Milei's far-right) Argentina have stood alone in voting against a UN resolution condemning the enslavement of Africans.  The UN voted overwhelmingly to declare the enslavement of Africans by Europe and the US as "the gravest crime against humanity by reason of the definitive break in world history, scale, duration, systemic nature, brutality and enduring consequences that continue to structure the lives of all people through racialized regimes of labour, property and capital," and to call for reparations, remedies, and redress.  The US representative, speaking on the record, denied the right to reparations and derisively referred to the subject of the resolution (slavery) as a "narrow, specific interest and agenda" that the UN should not address.
