"History Is Repeating Itself" The war that the United States and Israel are waging in the Middle East is not solely directed at Iran. An interview with a Lebanese activist

Lebanon: “History Is Repeating Itself”

The war that the US and Israel are waging in the Middle East is not solely directed at Iran.

Israeli airstrikes are pummeling Lebanon, driving nearly 700,000 people from their homes.

To understand the consequences, we reached out to @ayoub.bsky.social.

Don’t have to think twice about that if the thought hasn’t remotely ever crossed my mind.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

1/ Here's what I can share:

Post your favorite LOTR character, wrong answers only.

My favorite was when “Frodo” shows up briefly in one of the Spy Kids movies as the “chosen one”, and immediately gets killed. Chefs kiss.

Seeing some on instagram. Sure feels like we’re really in the big ww now.

Were they subpoenaed? I don’t think there’s and service in the world that won’t comply with a government order to hand over data. It’s certainly noteworthy though that the Swiss government then handed over to fbi.

When will we find the strength? When will we do more than march around with signs?

I guess the upshot of yesterday is that it's open season on heads of state. Can't imagine that being a FAFO thing at some point.

Another reminder that not all the activism you see is visible

Is it me or is that dude in the back just guzzling straight from the barrel? Quite a flex.

I'm an annoying anarchist- it's very effective! More people should try to be more annoying about their beliefs imho.

#OtD 26 Feb 2012 Trayvon Martin, an unarmed Black teenager, was murdered by a neighbourhood watch volunteer for being Black and wearing a hoodie. After his death there were protests across the US and #blacklivesmatter was born stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9820...

I would really love for Warren to stop being a recurring disappointment.

For the first time since @projectsaltbox.bsky.social launched their DHS warehouse acquisition tracker, the number of canceled sales is higher than any of the other warehouse-related figures. We've reached a tipping point, folks.

ALSO:

If you are ANY kind of public official, institution that serves the public, publication, or organization with a functioning moral compass then you absolutely should not be anywhere near Elon's Nazi/Pedo Bar & Grill, much less using it for public service announcements.

I second this and cannot emphasize it enough. The only reason to be in Elon's Nazi/Pedo Bar & Grill is to spy on the Nazis and abusers who frequent it.

And if you are, then you shouldn't be posting on there, you definitely shouldn't be doing it without a support network, and please do selfcare.
