'The Military-Industrial Complex Is Winning': While Bombing Iran, Trump Says Weapons Contractors to Boost Production | Common Dreams
After meeting with CEOs at the White House, US President Donald Trump
said that top military contractors "have agreed t
After slashing SNAP & Medicaid, Trump is using his Iran War to line the pockets of military contractors.
I'm reminded of the words of MLK:
"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom."

The use of white phosphorus over residential areas is extremely alarming and will have dire consequences for civilians.

Fait amusant ⬇️
PSPP parle de « milliards de personnes qui auraient intérêt à migrer au Québec ».
Il y a 190 000 demandeurs d’asile au Québec présentement.
Là-dessus, 7000 enfants sont dans des services de garde.
Le monde entier compte environ 120 millions de personnes déplacées.

Researchers identify sharp rise to about 0.35C every decade, after excluding natural fluctuations such as El Niño
It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.

Military Secretly Admit U.S. Role in Iran School Bomb Horror
As questions mounted over the deadly strike, Pete Hegseth boasted about the campaign’s lethality.
American forces were responsible for a strike on an Iranian girls’ school that killed at least 150 students and staff, according to a preliminary assessment by U.S. military investigators.

If you took $1 billion and gave it to the endowment of a different small college each day, they could each provide a free college education to several hundred students per year in perpetuity. Instead we are using that money to bomb schools and kill students in Iran, for no clearly stated purpose.

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.
Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.
We live in Orwellian times.

Mehdi on the Republican religious nutjobs pining for Armageddon in the Middle East. Plus: the latest on the Iran school bombing and, for once, a disgraced Republican is shamed into quitting politics.

“When people were asked how many refugees were accepted in Canada in 2018 (during the Roxham Rd. surge), the median answer given by study participants was 256,000. The actual number of refugees accepted by Canada that year was … 49,504. The gap between perception and reality can be staggering.”

France falling into line behind the United States using the same playbook as the UK - refusing to allow the US to use French bases to bomb Iran offensively while allowing the US to use French bases to bomb Iran defensively.

France seems 2 think it can outsource its right to engage in collective self-defense on behalf of regional allies to the United States. It cannot. The US is the aggressor. To provide any aid to the US is to aid and abet and be complicit in that aggression. /n x.com/SaulStanifor...

What is there more to say beyond rage.
They want to "evacuate" one of the densest suburbs of Beirut and have a quarter of a million+ people just move elsewhere and accept the fate of the destruction of their homes or worse the loss of their life.
Fucking nightmare.

AOC: We already have multiple American service members who are dead for an illegal action that the president has pursued with no plan out. They don’t know why they got into this war. They’re talking about a hundred different reasons, and they don’t know how they’re getting out.
