A new report suggests that the U.S.’s war on Iran could last “at least 100 days” and likely “through September” — despite Trump administration officials suggesting that it will last only a few days or weeks.
The Israeli military says that it dropped roughly 4,000 bombs during its illegal 12-day war last June, and that it had already surpassed that by Tuesday, the fourth day of the new U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.
At least 4 of the companies awarded contracts so far to build a U.S. defense shield are owned by a private equity firm founded by billionaire Steve Feinberg, who is now the deputy secretary of defense — the second-highest-ranking official in the Pentagon.
WhatsApp logs show the GOP Party secretary wasn’t as absent as he claims, as he deleted 14 messages from others in the group and 42 of his own — moves he said were necessary for “decluttering the chat.” Republican events sponsored by the county party were also regularly promoted within the chat.
The group chat was started by the Miami-Dade Republican Party to promote Republican-aligned events at Florida International University. But within just a few weeks, the Whatsapp group was rife with racism, antisemitism, misogyny, and homophobic slurs.
Leaked chats from a Republican group at a Florida college contain hundreds of uses of the n-word and frequent references to Nazi Germany, new reporting has revealed.
The first call was a woman whose husband had been deported. She was home with her children, was 39 weeks pregnant, and was in labor. Maalimisaq called an obstetrician volunteer, and they rushed to the patient’s house.
After about one-third of her patients stopped showing up for appointments, Munira Maalimisaq, co-founder of Inspire Change Clinic in Minneapolis, said, “We have to do something.” So she called a physician friend. What if they just started seeing patients at home?
Republican Senator Tim Sheehy joined Capitol Police as they violently ejected an anti-war protester and U.S. Marine veteran from an Armed Services subcommittee hearing on Wednesday, appearing to break his arm as the group tried to wrestle him out of the chamber.
Mullin is a hard right Republican who previously defended ICE’s killing of Renee Nicole Good. Last year, he defended the deportation of U.S.-born babies, saying that babies should be deported if their parents are, even if they have U.S. citizenship.
BREAKING: Trump has announced that he is removing DHS Secretary Kristi Noem from her post and is seeking to replace her with Sen. Markwayne Mullin. The change comes as Noem has led a tumultuous campaign of federal raids on U.S. cities that has seen thousands of people deported and detained.
All too often, the law operates as a double-edged sword: it can secure rights and constrain power, but it can also legitimize repression, exclusion, and harm.
The Trump administration’s violence relies on a combination of lawlessness alongside the strategic use of the law to manufacture a sense of legality and a facade of legal legitimation.
On Wednesday, a War Powers Resolution vote in the U.S. Senate failed to garner enough votes to end the Trump administration’s war on Iran, with the Republican majority blocking its advancement. “The American people will remember who voted to continue an illegal, unnecessary war,” Kharrazian said.
Paramedics said last weekend’s bombing of an elementary in southern Iran was a so-called “double-tap” airstrike — a common tactic used by US, Israeli, and Russian forces by which attackers bomb a target and then follow up with a second strike meant to kill survivors and first responders.
Canada has waived biometrics before in exceptional circumstances, such as when it helped Ukrainians come to Canada.
Khaled and Raneen have both have been accepted into a Canadian university to continue their studies in medicine, but a major stumbling block has been Canada’s requirement that the students submit biometric data — fingerprints and photographs — to finalize their visa applications.
Without sirens or bomb shelters, Palestinians in the West Bank are witnessing the blowback to Israel’s war on Iran.
Kelly Hayes and Lewis Raven Wallace explore what organizers can learn from the science of neuroplasticity, and why movements need to focus less on “changing minds” and more on creating conditions where people can unlearn harmful beliefs and step into collective action.
Many of President Trump’s stated justifications for the US and Israeli war on Iran are demonstrably false, so what are the administration's true objectives?
The U.S. and Israel’s carpet bombing of Iran has damaged numerous facilities that receive special protection under international law, such as hospitals. According to Iranian human rights group HRANA, at least 1,097 civilians in Iran have been killed since the start of the war.
At least 175 people were killed in the strike, including 160 schoolchildren, who were the first reported casualties of the U.S. and Israel’s war on Iran. Many of those killed were aged between 8 and 10 years old. A two-month-old baby was also reportedly killed in the strike.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed the idea that the U.S. was responsible for a strike on Saturday that killed 160 children a school in Minab, Iran, describing reports that the U.S. would target civilians in combat as “propaganda.”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth have also repeated hateful anti-Muslim rhetoric in recent days to justify their carpet bombing of Iran and killing of civilians en masse. “Iran is run by lunatics. Religious fanatic lunatics,” Rubio said.
“Such rhetoric echoes some of the darkest chapters of our history, when religious and ethnic minorities were demonized to justify discrimination and war,” CAIR said. “Accusing others of religious fanaticism while turning religious fanaticism into U.S. government policy is the height of hypocrisy.”
“[Iranians] want to wipe Israel off the face of the earth and they’d like to take us out as well. We’re the Great Satan in their analogy and their misguided religion, and there is no way to appease them,” he said.
In the latest of a slew of blatantly Islamophobic comments from Republicans to justify the U.S.'s war on Iran, House Speaker of the House Mike Johnson said Wednesday that Iranians have a “misguided religion” that seeks the destruction of the U.S.
War is great news for Trump's friends and donors in the fracking/ fossil gas export industry, who are poised to profit.
The rest of us and our utility bills? Nope!
Consumers already paid $12 billion more for nat gas under Trump -- and now prices are spiking as war and chaos cuts off supplies.
