L'esquerra envelleix quan deixa de seduir a la joventut. L'extrema dreta ja ho va entendre: va conquerir les xarxes, el llenguatge digital i la rebel·lia. Recuperar aquesta energia és una tasca urgent ✍️ Henrique Canary catarsimagazin.cat/per-que-lesque…

El problema no es solo el evidente antiintelectualismo y clasismo para ver como algo lejano que la gente corriente lea o no tenga el cerebro podrido de tanto scroll, lo peor es que entiende al electorado como clientes de un mercado, y precisamente de ahí su relevancia actual.

💢📰 REPORT | New reporting from NYT reveals how Trump decided to go to war with Iran — after a closed-door Israeli pitch and despite deep internal divisions inside his own team. At a secret Feb. 11 Situation Room meeting, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented a four-part pitch for regime change, including a video montage of potential replacement leaders such as Reza Pahlavi. JD Vance was absent, stuck in Azerbaijan. Appearing alongside Mossad chief David Barnea and military officials, Netanyahu argued: Iran’s ballistic missile program could be destroyed in weeks. The regime would be too weak to close the Strait of Hormuz. Street protests — fomented with Mossad help — could trigger an uprising. Kurdish fighters from Iraq could open a ground front in the northwest. Trump’s response: “Sounds good to me.” Trump’s response: “Sounds good to me.” The next day, U.S. intelligence pushed back sharply. CIA Director John Ratcliffe called the regime-change scenario “farcical,” with Secretary of State Marco Rubio adding: “In other words, it’s bullshit.” Gen. Dan Caine told the president: “This is, in my experience, standard operating procedure for the Israelis. They oversell, and their plans are not always well-developed.” Trump dismissed regime change as “their problem” — but remained focused on targeting Iran’s leadership and military. By Feb. 26, in a final Situation Room meeting, opposition inside the room was clear but fractured. Vice President JD Vance warned the war could spiral and drain U.S. resources, but ultimately said: “You know I think this is a bad idea… but I’ll support you.” Rubio said regime change was unrealistic, but destroying Iran’s missile program was achievable. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was the biggest proponent of war and backed immediate action. Military leadership outlined risks, including depleted munitions and the threat to Hormuz, but all stopped short of opposing the plan. Key officials responsible for managing the fallout, like the Treasury Secretary, and DNI Gabbard were notably absent. Trump went around the table asking advisors their view, then made the call: “I think we need to do it.” The strikes began two days later.

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around today to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom that our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's really an indictment not just of the electorate but of our whole system of government. We're ruled by a mad king.

The objective of the war has become undoing the consequence of the war. The stupidest war in history.

The insider trading scandal just got worse. It wasn't just oil. Someone also made a massive unexplained trade on the S&P 500 exactly 15 minutes before Trump's Iran war tweet. Hundreds of millions of dollars made in minutes. They knew exactly what he was going to say.

Hoy se cumplen 50 años del golpe de Estado en Argentina. Le siguió una de las dictaduras más inhumanas y sanguinarias de Latinoamérica. Años de represión, torturas y desapariciones. Nunca más.

Bé que teníeu pressupost per apujar el sou +4.000€ als Mossos perquè us facin la feina bruta als desnonaments, apallissant a les qui fan vaga, gas pebre contra manifestants... I de quin marge de dialogar parleu, si després pacteu a la contra del 95% del professorat?
