Iran says a girls' school was hit by a deadly air strike. Here's what we know. www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-gi...
A riff on the "shelter cats to coyotes" meme: My neighbor told me AMERICA keep eating his KURDS so I asked how many KURDS he has and he said he just goes to the shelter and gets a new KURD afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding THE KURDS to AMERICA and then his daughter started crying.
I’m old enough to remember when we got mad at Isis for this

You weren’t the only one. Pope Francis said we were in a “piecemeal” WW3 in late 2014.
My suspicion is that the people who planned and pushed for these strikes had a much more maximalist agenda than they told Trump.
Insisting for years that we’ve been in WWIII since 2015 feels less crazy now

A veteran Northern Ireland journalist who says he has been the target of "systematic" state monitoring begins a legal case against the PSNI and the security services in London today
I think you’ll find republicans killing people at sea to have a very different meaning in Ireland and Britain which, again, is where the story is about
And the US seized a Russia-flagged tank *because* of Venezuela so I doubt they’re colluding
I was born in the States and I know it's tough for them but 'republicans' was just too tempting to pass up

While I was in Raqqah Omar Alloush’s name came up several times as the key figure behind the optimism of the first year or two of SDF/DAA rule. No one replaced him following his murder in 2018, and local disillusionment with the project grew year after year
