Aug. 19, 1953: U.S. and Britain Topple Democratically Elected Government of Iran Democratically elected Iranian PremierΒ Mohammad MossadeghΒ was removed from power in a coup.

History teachers: How are you contextualizing the U.S. war on Iran with your students? Consider covering the 1953 CIA coup overthrowing the democratically-elected Mossadegh government? Here is a good summary (with sources) from @zinnedproject.bsky.social. www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/ir...

Authoritarianism 101 Daniel speaks with AHR editor Mark Bradley and consulting editor Laura McEnaney on how the A101 project came together and what teachers and students can expect.

Just as we stand with Palestinians as they continue to struggle to choose their own destiny on their own land, we join in the same fight for the self-determination of all people in the region. All of our futures depend on it.

Here is the pre-RFK vaccination schedule for your kids. Please download it before he is confirmed and changes/deletes it.

Give it to your pediatrician and say this is the schedule you want your kids on.

Noem is lying in this hearing. Klobuchar just asked why federal agents blocked local police from the scene where Alex Pretti was shot.

Noem: Federal officers "risked their lives on that scene ... keeping violent rioters away from evidence."

BS. I was there. There were no violent rioters.

165 graves.

Each for a little girl killed by the Israeli-American strike that targeted a school on the first day of the Iran War.

In Lebanon people are sleeping in cars or sitting in front of schools, which have opened their doors to displaced, because there is nowhere else to go.

I witnessed one woman begin screaming outside one school who said they had no more place. People sat along the walls or on motorised scooters.

Tehran tonight.

Twenty people were killed in a US–Israeli attack on Niloufar Square, a busy mixed residential and commercial neighborhood in Tehran.

Screenshot of an instagram post. There’s a photo of Alex Pretti standing outside in front of a sign. White cursive text reads Today should be your 38th birthday.
When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My lov for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken.

Today would have been Alex Pretti’s 38th birthday.

He was executed by ICE over a month ago. Shot ten times in the back after trying to assist a woman who had been pepper sprayed and shoved.

He was a helper and they killed him for it.

Justice for Alex Pretti.

Justice for all victims of ICE/CBP
