the angloamerican news not reporting at all about casualties of their warmongering in iran outside of the school bombing has this effect where, to the angloamerican viewer, the casualties are "200 schoolgirls killed by the US and now a rising tally of US soldiers just dying by incompetence"
To the point that @prisonculture.bsky.social was making yesterday: high school students continue to walk out EVERYWHERE, but there is no mainstream media coverage of it.

A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.

An opinion that makes you a fringe radical in this country is that the life of a person who is not an American citizen is not an abstraction, and is worth just as much as that of an American citizen
This was such a good job by the NYT's Shawn McCreesh.
He asked a very pointed and direct question to Trump about the school bombing, leading the president to corner himself (was he claiming the US sold Iran Tomahawks???) before admitting he doesn't "know enough" and will abide by the final report.
