This Is Not a Regime Change War. Iran Is Being Pushed Toward State Collapse. The US and Israel have killed Ayatollah Khamenei, but they seem to have no plan for what comes next.

"War doesn't operate with surgical precision. It doesn't remove one figure & install another. It shifts power to those most capable of wielding force. It weakens civil society faster than it builds alternatives. It deepens grievances that last generations"

On March 3, Ecuadorian and U.S. military forces launched operations against Designated Terrorist Organizations in Ecuador. The operations are a powerful example of the commitment of partners in Latin America and the Caribbean to combat the scourge of narco-terrorism.
Together, we are taking decisive action to confront narco-terrorists who have long inflicted terror, violence, and corruption on citizens throughout the hemisphere.
"We commend the men and women of the Ecuadorian armed forces for their unwavering commitment to this fight, demonstrating courage and resolve through continued actions against narco-terrorists in their country." - #SOUTHCOM Commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan.

Since July, more than a dozen pregnant children have been moved to a single facility in the small town of San Benito, along the south Texas border. The children kept in Texas are as young as 13, and about half are pregnant because of rape, according to a joint investigation by the Texas Newsroom and the California Newsroom. In Texas, abortion is banned in nearly all circumstances, including rape and incest.

It’s defensive when we do it, but offensive when they do it.

No world leader is safe and no country’s sovereignty is secure under the Trump doctrine of might makes right.

The United States has overwhelming force and will use it to get its way, no matter the repercussions or the laws that meant to restrain it. We’ve entered an incredibly dangerous reality.

Trump has done most of Romney’s oft-overlooked far right 2012 platform (no Medicaid for PP, CO2 is not a pollutant, drastically cutting corp tax rate, support Israel β€œmore strongly”)

but Mitt also ran on not only repealing w/o replacing ACA, also ABOLISHING MEDICARE for people younger than 1957

I don't think that is what that slogan means.

It means that you cannot provide a non-arbitrary justification for why the settler state is allowed to create and enforce the borders in the first place. It's just special pleading based on the contingent results of military victories and lawfare

The photos from a UN fact finding mission to northern Gaza which were part of a diplomatic cable suppressed by the US Ambassador to Israel, Jack Lew, have been released by Drop Site News. These are the genocidal conditions in Gaza that Lew specifically tried to hide from the White House and public.

Hi @repmoskowitz.bsky.social will you now apologize for this bill of yours and admit you got it wrong?

Anyone who paid attention knew that there was no doubt about the official number from the GHM being an undercount due to its historically conservative approach and due to inability to keep pace with the actual death rate. IDF now admits, like it did in 2021 and 2014, that it has an accurate record.

just so it's clear: this is the exact core function of genAI

Fascist government and climate deniers love it because it can produce the aesthetics of knowledge without any actual tendency towards truth. It is automated denialism.

Shame on every climate scientist promoting its use (there are lots)

if any tech journos who follow me want a freebie:

almost no one is talking about it but tiktok is super low resolution ever since the corporate handoff. kind of a big deal imo as the video quality was one of the high points of the platform

Obviously Trump does want people to be killed, but it's notable that Leavitt is naming Good and Pretti and no longer calling them domestic terrorists or otherwise sullying their names. As sure a sign as any that the regime knows the mood has shifted against it quite drastically.

Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA

Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Second angle makes it clear the man killed was physically shielding someone else, then had been pulled down by the mob of goons. He never once posed a threat and the itchy trigger fingers on these mother-killing baby snatchers had one panic shoot then unload. Abolish ICE & disarm everry former agent

Kyle Rittenhouse was on Infowars the day after the Renee Good shooting saying he had heard on X that Renee was putting cigarettes out on her kids. This wasn't true. This is a government by and for school shooters and their apologists.
