Clear that ‘municipal public safety ordinances’ do not address the root of ‘public safety (PS)’ concerns. Safety for whom? More effective PS might follow paths that service the needs of the vulnerable suffering mental/drug illness & financially destitute. wbur.org/onpoint/2025/0…

"I invite you to look beyond the machinery of misinformation — an integral part of this aggression..."

An opposition party, if such a thing existed, could do a lot with this clip.

Hegseth too 👇 Basically validating everything Iran has been saying for decades about the US. Which Iranian in their right mind can now say that the US wants to "liberate" them? x.com/PeteHegseth/st…

"Is it not also the case that America has entered this aggression as a proxy for Israel, influenced and manipulated by that regime?... Is it not that Israel now aims to fight Iran to the last American soldier and the last American taxpayer dollar?... Is America First truly among the priorities of the US government today?"

🚨 Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian shares a message addressed to the American people. It reads in full: “In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful To the people of the United States of America, and to all those who, amid a flood of distortions and manufactured narratives, continue to seek the truth and aspire to a better life Iran—by this very name, character, and identity—is one of the oldest continuous civilizations in human history. Despite its historical and geographical advantages at various times, Iran has never, in its modern history, chosen the path of aggression, expansion, colonialism, or domination. Even after enduring occupation, invasion, and sustained pressure from global powers—and despite possessing military superiority over many of its neighbors—Iran has never initiated a war. Yet it has resolutely and bravely repelled those who have attacked it. The Iranian people harbor no enmity toward other nations, including the people of America, Europe, or neighboring countries. Even in the face of repeated foreign interventions and pressures throughout their proud history, Iranians have consistently drawn a clear distinction between governments and the peoples they govern. This is a deeply rooted principle in Iranian culture and collective consciousness—not a temporary political stance. For this reason, portraying Iran as a threat is neither consistent with historical reality nor with present-day observable facts. Such a perception is the product of political and economic whims of the powerful—the need to manufacture an enemy in order to justify pressure, maintain military dominance, sustain the arms industry, and control strategic markets. In such an environment, if a threat does not exist, it is invented. Within this same framework, the United States has concentrated the largest number of its forces, bases, and military capabilities around Iran—a country that, at least since the founding of the United States, has never initiated a war. Recent American aggressions launched from these very bases have demonstrated how threatening such a military presence truly is. Naturally, no country confronted with such conditions would forgo strengthening its defensive capabilities. What Iran has done—and continues to do—is a measured response grounded in legitimate self-defense, and by no means an initiation of war or aggression. Relations between Iran and the United States were not originally hostile, and early interactions between the Iranian and American people were not marred with hostility or coup d’état—an illegal American 1953 intervention. The turning point, however, was the intervention aimed at preventing the nationalization of Iran’s own resources. That coup disrupted Iran’s democratic process, reinstated dictatorship, and sowed deep distrust among Iranians toward U.S. policies. This distrust deepened further with America’s support for the Shah’s regime, its backing of Saddam Hussein during the imposed war of the 1980s, the imposition of the longest and most comprehensive sanctions in modern history, and ultimately, unprovoked military aggression—twice, in the midst of negotiations—against Iran. Yet all these pressures have failed to weaken Iran. On the contrary, the country has grown before the Islamic Revolution by 30% stronger in many areas: literacy rates have tripled—from roughly 30% to over 90% today; higher education has expanded dramatically; significant advances have been achieved in modern technology; healthcare services have improved; and infrastructure has developed at a pace and scale incomparable to the past. These are measurable, observable realities that stand independent of fabricated narratives. [continues below]

Trump right now in his live address: "We're going to hit [Iran] extremely hard over the next 2 to 3 weeks, we're going to bring them back to the stone ages where they belong." Pure savagery. And textbook genocidal: saying the Iranian people "belong" in the stone ages means he's targeting them as a people, which is the definition of genocidal intent. That's where letting Gaza happen without consequences gets you... Also pretty ironical to call others primitive while sounding like a barbarian king on bath salts.

The Israeli right's embrace of nooses as their symbol really make the moral lines of this conflict clear. "We're not doing Jim Crow" is a much harder argument to make when you're literally wearing a noose on your lapel.

Nobody can afford anything in America and this is what the national media chooses to focus on, and then media elites somehow wonder why nobody watches cable TV news anymore

📺 CNN ran an 8-minute panel attacking political streamer Hasan Piker, built around selectively edited remarks about Zionism, U.S. foreign policy, and blowback in reference to 9/11—without identifying a single statement that could be considered “controversial” in context. The network is not yet under the Ellison family, whose patriarch Larry Ellison is a close ally of ICC-indicted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and a major donor to the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF), which supports Israeli soldiers. His son, David Ellison, CEO of Skydance, is leading a $111 billion bid to acquire CNN’s parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery. The deal faces a shareholder vote on April 23 and is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026, pending approvals.

A beautiful sight. This is what multipolarity means.

bruh

Deeply irresponsible segment that asserts without pushback that Hasan “and his ilk” can not possibly have legitimate criticisms of Israel but are merely trying to smuggle their “Jew hatred” into the discourse in the guise of antisemitism. Not once is it mentioned that Israel just today implemented the death penalty but only for Palestinians. Good on Donie for getting Hasan’s response in there but the panel discussion and comments from Tapper are just obscene, especially today.

Okay yes he was indeed popping champagne in celebration of the death penalty law. Absolute death cult.

🇨🇺 🇷🇺 Russia has delivered 730,000 barrels of oil to Cuba. This is the first time any oil has reached Cuba in three months, since the US imposed an all-out oil blockade. The U.S. blockade can and must be broken.

the venn diagram of democrats who condemn hasan but smile in a picture with war criminal netanyahu is a circle

But indicted war criminals? Just FINE!

This is the strongest, most valuable digital media flank of the dem coalition rn and the only one reaching + regaining the trust of young and disillusioned voters. Centrists and zionists can fight it as hard as they want, just like they did Zohran, but that reality isn’t changing

in 2028 if tucker doesn’t run for president, he will lend this credibility in the anti israel space to the maga successor. dems cannot run a liberal zionist establishment figure against that. we must lead in this space. it’s moral, it’s the truth and the masses are on board!

liberals demanding Democratic politicians only talk to far-right conservatives and corporate media elites and never to left-of-center independent media has really worked out well for Democrats over the last 20 years, great work everyone

a normal thing to do when you “win” the war 29 times in 29 days after you started it
