Finally, an article about the real victims of this war: piles of money
the german word for this is lebensraum
I love this so much

Thousands of Iranians gathered for a mass funeral of students and staff of an elementary girls’ school in #Minab, who were killed in a strike by the US and Israel.
The death toll has crossed over 160, in what was the deadliest incident in the conflict so far.

RIP to hundreds of Iranians and one American vacation
The regime won’t let you have clean hands if you work for them, even if they’re punishing you. This was leaked on purpose, is uncomfortably close to confessing to a war crime, and highlights once again how tech’s unthinking growth directly leads to dead kids.
Part of our work is to create a political environment where folks who do find ways to act heroically receive public recognition and support.
The more we do that, the more likely it is we see at least a few military personnel taking risks to oppose the horrors and refuse illegal orders.
The entire millennial identity is being prepared and groomed for a version of the world that stopped existing by the time we reached it
we slammed into a horizon painted on a brick wall like fucking looney tunes
Who needs sabotage when you have AIPAC and a high risk of stroke?
In describing how he felt after her, he was told in the hospital that he couldn’t eat he said this: “"I was so sad," he said. "I love to eat." When he was discharged, he went straight to Redhot Ranch for the cheeseburger he'd been craving. "I just experienced some trauma. I wanted this cheeseburger," he said.”
"Me being trans has nothing to do with me jumping in a lake and saving someone who can't save themselves," he said. "If anything, take away the fact that I'm a human being who did a human act, and my gender has nothing to do with it."
I love this little kreplach.
Also, it might seem like 70k is a lot of money, because it is. But that money will very quickly be eaten up by an ER Bill. Keep it little kreplach and maybe don’t close down the gofundme till you get a sense of the bill.
I am loathe to support any war, and I think nation states are mostly awful. But even if I were the most rah-rah, go-USA, pro-military strategist I would know this is a glaringly awful move, and it will surely blow back to the US as the years after the Revolution did.
That the current administration thinks they can just run a playbook for regime change from the 1940s and 50s and get a different result is both mind blowingly stupid and unsurprising.
That the strikes today also were reportedly on leftist, dissident, pro-democracy targets strikes me as telling - the US government's plan is to do the same goddamn thing over again. Not to deliver true freedom to the Iranian people.
It's okay to not know the history in immense detail, but a brief primer on Iran: the US led efforts to install the Shah in Iran after they democratically elected a prime minister (Mossadegh) who moved to nationalize their oil reserves. The Shah's reign directly led to the Iranian revolution.

I know that I spent a good portion of my graduate school years hanging out with expat Iranian musicians in LA, so I probably know a little more about Iranian and Persian history than most, but.... The lack of historical awareness of regime change by the US in Iran is staggering right now.
In 1979 when Iranian students seized the US embassy they eventually let go all of the Black people working there because they understood that the US would only care about white Americans. Iran understands our society far better than we understand theirs or our own.
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
Calling your reps and senators can feel really nerve racking at first. We actually did an episode about this on How to Save a planet which I cannot fucking find but an easy solution is to do it with a friend.
The more you do it the less stressful it gets.
US media has defunded and fired almost all foreign correspondents and that’s a big part of why they are just stenographers for the administration

During the U.S. and Israel attack in Iran on Saturday, dozens of people, most of them likely children, were killed when a strike hit a girls’ elementary school in Minab and a high school in Tehran, according to Iranian health officials, state media and a human rights group.
I wish this didn't seem so relevant so often: "In mainstream discourse, it's become standard to blame the excesses of the right on liberals, the left, feminists.... It's a way that the right is granted masculine prerogatives and the left feminine responsibilities for the right's behavior."
Facebook Post: "Have heard from an Iranian friend that her partner in Teheran has sent her a message. He is a leftist and is telling her that the US/Israelis are targeting a number of known leftists homes in Teheran and elsewhere in an attempt to make sure there's no opposition to their favoured candidate once they destroy the regime. What this reveals is the degree of penetration by Mossad in Iran. What it also means is that this is not going to be an easy occupation for the US and its Israeli buddies."
James Franco being executed by hanging. "First time?" he asks, as though he's been hanged before.
hey gen z welcome to republican governance
The opportunity: Iranians rose against their own government by the millions. They died by the tens of thousands. They lacked the strength to liberate themselves. Those Iranians able to communicate to the outside world have begged for help against their oppressors and murderers. Trump promised that help. Now he is delivering it. A tyrannical regime that has been at war for almost half a century against its own people, against its neighbors, and against the United States is suffering the retribution it provoked by its own unceasing aggression and repression. The rulers of Iran have committed outrage after outrage against the rest of the world and their own people. They sought nuclear weapons to commit a second Holocaust against Israel, as they repeatedly and expressly threatened. The outcome of the U.S.-Israel war against the Iranian regime is obviously extremely uncertain. But we can glimpse the possibility of an Iran that is no longer misgoverned by theocratic and genocidal terrorists—and all that that could mean for peace in the region, for U.S. security, and for the freedom, prosperity, and progress of the Iranian people.
Frum's argument is that there are upsides and downsides to bombing Iran but the upsides only make sense if you think Trump is acting in good faith and that bombing a country is a legitimate way to force political change.
