Word to the wise: If you spend a decade in a quaint tropical mountain village beside a stunning caldera lake, you'll grow in amazing ways, but no one you know is going to be on Twitter. #lifechoices

@JustiFaizLili You don't need to know much background. The Mechanicus are their own thing.

Thinking about playing Warhammer Mechanicus (I know nothing about the lore beyond how the Space Marines existe)

@VinSkvlly @ryangrim @EmmanuelMacron With French help, America can quickly come to the same overwhelming dominant military position we had in Vietnam in the Winter of 1974! 🇺🇸🇫🇷

@ryangrim @EmmanuelMacron The French LOVE to kill brown people when the USA is in the lead role.

I have just spoken with Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian. I called on him to put an immediate end to the unacceptable attacks Iran is carrying out against countries in the region, whether directly or through proxies, including in Lebanon and Iraq. I reminded him that France is acting within a strictly defensive framework aimed at protecting its interests, its regional partners, and freedom of navigation, and that it is unacceptable for our country to be targeted. The unchecked escalation we are witnessing is plunging the entire region into chaos, with major consequences today and for the years to come. The people of Iran, like those across the region, are paying the price. Only a new political and security framework can ensure peace and security for all. Such a framework must guarantee that Iran never acquires nuclear weapons, while also addressing the threats posed by its ballistic missile programme and its destabilising activities regionally and internationally. Freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz must be restored as soon as possible. I also urged the Iranian President to allow Cécile Kohler and Jacques Paris to return safely to France as soon as possible. Their ordeal has gone on for far too long, and they belong with their loved ones.

@JackLe0n @richimedhurst Would you say US complete military dominance in the Iran theater is more like Vietnam in April 1975, or Afghanistan in August of 2021?

@richimedhurst Do you understand how wrong you are? Militarily this is not even a fight. This is absurd coping.

Fake news. Iran, and the Resistance in Iraq and Lebanon have the upper hand on the battlefield. They are not interested in talks and will not cede any ground, literally or politically, to the Zio-American occupation. This man is lying to try and fix oil prices, nothing more.

Full statement: “The massacre of 167 girls, aged 7 to 12, in their classrooms at an elementary school in Iran is the greatest atrocity committed by the United States since the Vietnam War. Near the Strait of Hormuz, in a remote and almost unknown area of Iran, and for no reason that anyone can comprehend. Sixty others are hospitalized with injuries. Later, on that very first day of the war, 40 volleyball players three full women’s teams were killed in a single airstrike. You may not even have heard about the slaughter of the schoolgirls. It is the largest mass killing of schoolgirls ever recorded in world history. Yet no one is talking about it. I do not wish to overstate the point, but pause for a moment and consider: if Russia had killed 167 Ukrainian schoolgirls, if Palestinians had killed 167 Israeli schoolgirls, if Iran had killed 167 schoolgirls, it would have been the biggest news story in the world for years.”

@t_a_brosz @keithdorejel Many cities and states regularly exempt wealthy corporations from taxes. The idea is that they'll create jobs in the community but historically this works out as well as sports stadiums; everyone gets a taste except the taxpayer. streamdatacenters.com/resource-libra…

@keithdorejel Where do people get the idea that a business doesn't pay taxes to the city?

This is not true. I’ve watched this process up close in the small town where I teach. These projects offer minimal upside with huge costs. Pay no property taxes, huge energy and water demands, and bring in few jobs. Idk maybe some people just don’t understand economics.

The NBA oddly chose a map of France that corresponds to the old Capetian realm. Why does the NBA reject French annexation of Burgundy? Are they disputing the outcome of the Battle of Nancy? Will the NBA pledge loyalty to the Valois dukes?

This from BS is spot on. The salient feature that defines why @NYCMayor is awesome is because he is high agency, when nearly the entire coterie of elected Democrats are low agency losers capable only of saying “I’m worried” and texting fundraising appeals that begin with “My decision”.

The police are an occupying army. Their function is to prevent people from taking control of their own lives and communities. It has nothing to do with keeping people safe.

BREAKING: ICE officials are reportedly mad that tow companies in Minneapolis keep towing ICE vehicles, but the tow truck drivers keep shrugging and saying, "If you all refuse to identify yourselves, it's impossible for us to tell which vehicles are yours, isn't it?"

Accountability

@CBSNews Mark Smith is a traitor to the Constitution. He is a lawyer and fully aware that he is diminishing the rights of all Americans for a temporary political point. His connection to the Trump administration is worth more to him than your rights.

Constitutional attorney Mark Smith joins CBS News’ Major Garrett on “The Takeout” to discuss Second Amendment rights after the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis.

Life in prison for all of them

This is where I'm at, with the government statements. It's just straight up lies disproved by footage from multiple angles, and honestly it does my head in. Insert Sarte on Antisemites here, I guess.

@arlenparsa Yes, this was true from the beginning. ICE was the last ditch agency anyone could get hired to after the military and and the sheriff and the prison all turned them down.

Renee Good’s killer: 10 year ICE officer Alex Pretti’s killer: 8 year Border Patrol officer We can’t pretend this is all the result of Trump’s sloppy training. The entire agencies are rotten to the core.

A cartoon about my father from the 1960s. At the time he was assassinated, a poll reflected that he was one of the most hated men in the United States. Today, his message has been distorted by many who would have hated him then, but evoke him now to deter justice and truth. #MLK #TheKingCenter #HistoryMatters #ReThinkKing

btw this is just the stuff that gets publicly reported (and of course laundered as just a "rag-tag" band of moderate rebels). It's the tip of the iceberg obviously of the vast CIA-Mossad project to destroy Iran as a nation and people. That's why the whole obsessive focusing on this or that statement from some official is meaningless. Only fucking idiots demand official confirmation of CIA-Mossad ops in real time.

The new Senate report confirms WSJ reporting that UnitedHealth, based in Minnesota, systemically defrauds Medicare for billions by billing medical procedures doctors never performed. But UnitedHealth has armies of lobbyists and is a huge donor so the gov response is more muted.
