Mandatory arbitration clauses forced by the banking industry onto its customers are banned as to active service members under the Military Lending Act. So, a 4-star general with a Harvard degree enjoys this protection, but a poor struggling veteran does not. If Congress recognized those mandatory arbitration clauses as predatory & one-sided, why not extend that ban to benefit all Americans?

@SenRandPaul @EYakoby How can they fight their oppressors without weapons? US should empower regular Iranians to fight their autocratic regime by giving them weapons.

If the fanatics ayatollahs hang three young men of their own nation, and shoot tens of thousands more for merely protesting, imagine what they would do to other nations if they were allowed to build nuclear weapons.

3 protesters, including 19yo Saleh Mohammadi, were hanged today in Iran. Convicted of false charges, tortured into confessing, no lawyers, witnesses, or fair trial. Just totalitarian propaganda, kangaroo courts, & medieval torture. Saleh Mohammadi. Saeid Davoudi. Mehdi Ghasemi.

@McFaul A meaningless and moronic statistic: none of those countries have actually had the experience of having China as an ally, so they’re comparing the reality of US as an ally with the fantasy of China as an ideal ally. Let them ally with China for a few years, and ask them again.

The murderous ayatollahs in Iran cannot be allowed to remain in power. Shame on all those countries and politicians who cowardly say this is not their war.
Masih Alinejad 🏳️@AlinejadMasih

Today, in Iran, in the middle of a war, the regime executed a 19-year-old national wrestling champion for the crime of joining January protests. 💔 After signaling to the world, including President @realDonaldTrump, that they would halt executions of protesters, the regime has done the exact opposite. Three young protesters, Saleh Mohammadi, Mehdi Ghasemi, and Saeed Davoudi, were hanged in Qom after a sham trial. Reports indicate torture. Forced confessions. No access to chosen lawyers. Closed-door proceedings. No right to appeal. I call on @GlobalAthleteHQ to stand with Iranian athletes who are being silenced, imprisoned, and executed simply for raising their voices. This is not just about sports. This is about human dignity.

At 19, most men are really boys. In Ukraine, war has turned boys into men like this hero, who led 21 men in battle👇 He should be in college, learning a trade, dating a young woman, starting a business or political movement (he clearly has extraordinary leadership skills), but the arrogant foolishness of the old Kremlin autocrat changed his life. I pray he lives.
Tymofiy Mylovanov@Mylovanov

19-year-old Vladyslav Stepanchuk led 21 soldiers out of encirclement during a four-hour firefight. Zelenskyy awarded him the title Hero of Ukraine — he is the youngest Hero of Ukraine, reports Suspilne. 1/

Her name was Leonie, she was a 13-year-old Austrian girl. While she was out with friends, 3 Afghan immigrants secretly put 11 ecstasy pills in her drink. Stunned and unable to defend herself, she was taken to the house of one of the three. The ecstasy dose was way too high, the girl started overdosing but the 3 immigrants, completely indifferent to her suffering, began to undress her and took turns raping her, putting their hands around her neck, strangling her. All of it recorded by themselves on a mobile phone video. That’s how Leonie died, naked, in atrocious suffering, while the beasts raped her. The autopsy would later confirm the cause of death was triple overdose and asphyxiation. When they were done, they wrapped the body in a carpet and dumped it roadside, under a tree. The girl’s body was found the next morning by some passers-by, wearing only her underwear and with clear strangulation marks on her neck. One of the perpetrators fled to the United Kingdom, but was quickly tracked down in a hotel and extradited, the 3 Afghans were sentenced: - Zubaidullah R. life imprisonment; - Ali H. 19 years in prison; - Ibraulhaq A. 20 years in prison. During the closing arguments, the Public Prosecutor told the court she was “stunned” by what the defendants said throughout the proceedings, stating that “there is not a trace of remorse”.

Couldn’t that be expected after the 🇮🇱🇺🇸 strike on the 🇮🇷 LNG facilities based on the same giant gas field? Mutual reinforcing stupidity at a very high cost for everyone.
OSINTdefender@sentdefender

QatarEnergy’s Ras Laffan Industrial City to the north of Doha, Qatar's main site for the production of liquefied natural gas and gas-to-liquid, as well as the largest export terminal for LNG in the world, has been heavily targeted tonight by ballistic missiles fired by Iran. Extensive damage to the site and several facilities are being reported by QatarEnergy.

@MaxAbrahms @JoeTruzman A time-honored human trait is that nobody wants to be associated with losers. Activating the Houthis might not be so easy. Presumably Mr. Houthi and his distinguished entourage are reluctant to meet the fate of Khamenei.

This is totally insane. A war correspondent just received death threats from online gamblers who wanted him to change his reporting on an Iranian missile strike so they could collect a payout. One bettor had $900,000 riding on the outcome. He told the journalist he knew where he lived and who his family members were.  This is what prediction markets on life and death actually look like in practice. This is exactly why I introduced the DEATH BETS Act with Senator @AdamSchiff. The DEATH BETS Act would ban contracts on assassinations, deaths of world leaders, and acts of war on platforms like Polymarket. This story shows exactly why that matters.  When you let people place million-dollar bets on whether a missile kills someone, you create a financial incentive to threaten journalists, manipulate information, and profit from human suffering. washingtonpost.com/technology/202…

Why stop there? Why not destroy the statues of Cesar, Michelangelo’s David (settler-colonizer?), and pretty much every other statue in every public park in Europe. They’re mostly white male rulers of countries that invaded other countries, religious figures of a now-offensive religion, and artists whose creations surely must contain something controversial.

@elonmusk The expansion of "retail" AI platforms like Grok into trading has the potential to democratize the markets, help level the playing field, and create more efficient markets, with fewer inefficiencies left to exploit.

@yarotrof "An attack on the entire world," yet the entire world expects US & Israel alone to repel that attack. UAE is already shaming the non-US West for freeloading -again- on the US & failing to pursue its own interests: eliminate the Iranian regime's threat against the entire world.

Iran’s decision to disrupt the Strait of Hormuz, through which 35% of global crude oil and 20% of global liquefied natural gas used to pass, represents an attack on the entire world rather than just the Gulf states, and will hit low-income nations especially hard, @ADNOCGroup CEO Sultan al-Jaber told me. “By taking Hormuz hostage, Iran is committing global economic warfare,” he said. “This is a global economic issue. It is not a regional problem. The disruption is going to increase inflation, it will slow economies, it will affect everyday lives. Families will end up paying more for food.” wsj.com/world/middle-e…
Yaroslav Trofimov@yarotrof

Over 80% of the 2,000 Iranian missiles and drones fired at U.A.E. since Feb. 28 aimed at civilian infrastructure. “This is not a military exchange. This is an attack on a peaceful nation, a nation that has been working diligently and very hard for diplomacy,” Sultan al-Jaber, the U.A.E. Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, told me in an interview. “Any long-term political settlement must address the full spectrum of threats, including Iran’s nuclear program, ballistic missile capabilities, and their network of regional proxies,” added Jaber, who also serves as CEO of the country’s ADNOC oil giant. wsj.com/world/middle-e…

We certainly dont consider you very forward-leaning on supporting allies. A few weeks ago you supported taking Greenland. An open attack on our territory. Textbook hostility and completely unacceptable from an ally. And now you are wondering why Europe does not support you in a war that you did not even bother to discuss with us before starting.

Just spoke to @POTUS about our European allies’ unwillingness to provide assets to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning, which benefits Europe far more than America. I have never heard him so angry in my life. I share that anger given what’s at stake. The arrogance of our allies to suggest that Iran with a nuclear weapon is of little concern and that military action to stop the ayatollah from acquiring a nuclear bomb is our problem not theirs is beyond offensive. The European approach to containing the ayatollah’s nuclear ambitions have proven to be a miserable failure. The repercussions of providing little assistance to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning are going to be wide and deep for Europe and America. I consider myself very forward-leaning on supporting alliances, however at a time of real testing like this, it makes me second guess the value of these alliances. I am certain I am not the only senator who feels this way.
