It also runs the risk of increasing public support for the war in the US.
I’m not saying it’s impossible, but without physical infrastructure to threaten repeated attacks, it seems like Iran would have a lot to lose here without any real sustained deterrence.
This also raises the question of why do this when they could instead expend munitions on US military bases or Israel to slow down the bombing of Iran?
Sure, it would be a show of force and a moment of reckoning for Americans, but they know this would result in a massive response.
Seeing a lot of headlines, but finding no credible indication that Iran has drones with the range to conduct an attack on California.
Unless they have a new drone, it appears they’d need to launch from a ship in the middle of the Pacific, likely East of Hawaii. Obviously a suicide mission.
Truly nothing quite like Western media. It takes talent to craft these combinations of passive and active voice.
Protesters and tenants near the Portland ICE building have each pulled off legal wins restricting federal agents’ use of chemical munitions. While ICE activity in Oregon has remained low compared to the fall, Migra Watch trainings continue as a way for community members to get involved.
Buried bodies near a NM ranch? New evidence that Epstein may have been murdered? The bolstering of Trump's teen-sex accuser? The Epstein Files have gone wild, and there's one thing we can say for sure
Federal authorities are tied to a massive coverup

My knowledge of Rojava is relatively limited, but learning about a radical/militant/anarchist/feminist movement is pretty cool and very inspiring.
Truly worth the listen for the modern history, politics, and political philosophy.
In honor of international women’s day (yesterday), I encourage everyone to listen to The Women’s War. It’s a truly fantastic podcast about the autonomous region of Rojava in North and East Syria where women took up arms and fought ISIS—and are continuing to fight for true liberation.
Remember when Bibi spent 30 years saying Iran was weeks away from a nuclear bomb?
NYT can’t resist paying columnists to encourage wars.
I can’t resist shitting on them for their moronic orientalist opinions.
Thomas “Israel had me at hello” Friedman has some thoughts on the war, including that this is to “bring democracy” to Iran.
At least he’s not Bret Stephens I guess.
"[E]nvironmental disaster in Tehran."
"[C]hoking-levels of smoke, and black raindrops full of toxic oil falling."
"[P]oisoning civilians, devastating the environment, and endangering lives on a massive scale."

Listening to Chicago Blackhawks fans try to start a “USA” chant as they’re losing to the Vancouver Canucks, the worst team in the entire league, smh.
For sure. I ended on a note that the US and Israel clearly don’t give a shit about international law, but I do think the media can do a proper service by accurately reflecting what the law says.
The UN Charter is a publicly available, easily accessible document. A simple search makes it abundantly clear that the US-Israeli strikes on Iran are an illegal act of aggression.
Yet the word “illegal” does not show up in the headlines or even in the body text of most articles.
Israel, immediately after vaporizing a bunch of little girls:
I just want to sleep, but our deranged leaders are dead set on launching us into a global conflict that will likely kill thousands, if not orders of magnitude more.
This attack is a violation of international law. There is no justification. The US and Israel are lawless, genocidal terror states.
Yup
It’s at least very tuxedo-like
In a leaked video, Portland City Administrator Raymond Lee says city officials are committed to the ICE facility staying open.
Activists have pushed to close the facility for months, but multiple extensions have been given to the building’s owner to challenge the land use violation.

The US men’s hockey fiasco revealed a schism between the players and the reality of their fans. Nowhere is it more stark than Minnesota.
The three Wild players on the team all went to the SOTU not even two months after two of their communities members were executed.

I try to keep these tings short while giving updates on detentions, ICE tactics, and the major stories.
News outlets "likely hesitated to publish important leaks after seeing what happened" to Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson, whose home the government raided, FPF's Seth Stern said.

I question what the point of the State of the Union even is, especially if this guy is just gonna lie for 90mins straight.
The railing against the Dems has begun, trying to present the tax cuts as somehow helping working people.
There’s gotta be. I’m sure at least standing ovations in general.
You are now safe on that line.
Trump’s hair is strangely messy I feel like sticking up on the sides.
So far has not said Biden, so your Kalshi line may still be in trouble.
Let’s do some masochistic State of the Union coverage right here. I’m just gonna start posting in this thread, but feel free to add your comments as we go. Suffering together! #SOTU2026
Breaking MS NOW:
Agents with the FBI's elite evidence response team were delayed in reaching the scene of a mass shooting at Brown U. in December because there was no FBI plane available.
Kash Patel was in south Florida at the time with one of the FBI's two available jets.
There were three Minnesota Wild players on this team and four players whose hometowns are in the Minneapolis area. What a disgrace to be chumming it up with guys kidnapping and deporting your neighbors, not to mention a pedophile.
