Likely shifting over to Bluesky - we cannot stomach being part of Elon Musk’s fascist fantasy.

Let’s be clear here: this is a scenario in which NOBODY wins. We just all lose.

US-Israel nuclear trap Under immense global economic pressure and facing a domestic inflation crisis, President Trump,in coordination with Israel,made the fateful decision on March 21 to bomb the Iranian nuclear facility at Natanz. Iran has interpreted this strike as a deliberate attempt by the coalition to trigger a catastrophic nuclear incident, a “shortcut” to victory through environmental and humanitarian disaster. This bombardment follows only days after a projectile struck the vicinity of the Bushehr reactor, sparking widespread protests. Yesterday, Iran retaliated with a heavy strike on Dimona, home to Israel’s most critical nuclear reactor. There is no doubt that the Iranian most modern arsenal, possesses some precision-guided missiles capable of striking Dimona reactor, and the reverse is equally true. We are witnessing a terrifying escalation, with both nations trading threats of triggering a nuclear incident. This is the definition of wartime insanity. The situation is further complicated by the fact that Iran has not been inspected for nearly nine months, more than enough time to have clandestinely developed a nuclear weapon. Technically, Iran is already an ambiguous nuclear power; it possesses the chemical material, the technology means, the timeframe, and at least 4 to 6 models of modern dual-capable missiles designed to carry nuclear warheads. What if this ends in a nuclear exchange? We must recognize the sheer madness this senseless war is driving us toward. At no point has the conflict de-escalated. On the contrary, the range and sophistication of Iranian missile launches continue to expand. The coalition’s munitions are running low, yet Iran keeps firing; The war is becoming prohibitively expensive; inflation is surging in U.S and in the world; Gulf nations face billion-dollar losses; Asian allies are undersupplied; the Strait remains blocked; and the bombings have failed to produce the desired effect, With falling war popularity and elections approaching for Trump, and Netanyahu seeking a judicial reprieve, the pressure is mounting. This pressure is fertile ground for nuclear escalation, the dangerous belief in a “magic bullet” that could end all problems in few hours. However, in Iran’s case, this may only invite a devastating retaliation from hardened silos using nuclear weapons that, at a basic level, could be assembled in a week. By targeting Natanz, the coalition has already violated Article 56 of the Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions, which forbids attacks on nuclear facilities, -Even militaries -, due to the risk of “releasing dangerous forces.” They are opening a nuclear door that is escalating faster than anticipated, and if not contained now, the fallout will be far greater than anyone predicted.

After reading this post, I hit the back button, and per usual for the rabid, syphilitic-AI-mind, war-promoting, Israeli-hasbara-debased 𝕏, it refreshed to prevent me from RTing this -- the clearest, most concise description of the mess the US has made.
Don't miss this post.

Because I am getting this question dozens of times in my DMs from trans people/parents... If you're trying to move for safety:
Countries: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Spain, France.
States: Any blue state on my risk assessment map, which I'll update post-election.

I'm thinking about how American *and* global this is. Capitalist economies are convulsing worldwide. The planet's burning. Green capitalism is delivering for a tiny minority. The far right is almost always winning. It's a polycrisis, it's global, we need left responses at scale.

Many gave our all to this election - but many of us also knew deep in our bones that it’s all about building real social movements. We should be proud and also take from the scale of this victory some much needed clarity: we are in a fascist moment. It is a fight for our lives.

anyway one thing we can keep doing is actively trying to build the world we want, with each other and for each other. that option is never gone, the roadblocks just shift. your community is the same one you woke up with yesterday

It barely featured in the campaign, but it looks like the world’s most powerful economy is about to elect a climate denying authoritarian who hates clean technology. The chances of global temperatures spiralling out of control just increased substantially.
