the last few times iran has accepted a ceasefire, the US and israel have taken the opportunity to restock their weapons and then surprise attack iran again. "there's zero point in engaging in diplomacy with us any more" is what that strategy teaches
Historian of French Revolution here to say that in periods like this, squeamish compromisers do as much to drive radicalization as do ideologues. If you keep making excuses for the unfit king, eventually folks come for you and him.
but.... they are stopping the flow of oil within the Strait of Hormuz
that is what is happening
and you are constantly bombarding Iran already
that is also what is happening
Iran made and released this video.
Kind of thinking they’re not just going to roll over.
Israel saying "we will kill the new leadership of Iran no matter who it is" should tell you everything you need to know about what kind of war we are fighting
Attacks leave dead vs killed
Tomorrow Wes Streeting will remove trans minors ability to access, and doctors to prescribe, cross-sex hormones.
Try as it might Labour will never eradicate trans people. They cannot, and should not, change who they are. All Labour will do is make trans lives harder - with more harm and more death.
One of the most depressing things about the war in Iran is how a bunch of grown ass men are acting like this is a fucking video game.
Cardboard cutout stooge of the tech fascists he will follow his leaders to their doom
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region
The FTSE 100 dropped 1.4% in the first 2 minutes of trade - investors reacting to the surge in oil prices.
Japan’s Nikkei 225 closed down by more than 5%. In South Korea, the Kospi index triggered the circuit breaker, a 20-minute halt to trading to curb panic selling.
Meanwhile, in France, the far right is growing in strength & confidence, the left is in disarray, & the media is calling this a "pre-fascist moment." Upcoming nationwide local elections could be disastrous. Luckily presidential elections are still a year away.

Sounders rewatch takes. We were more firmly in control of that game than if felt live. STL created nothing real after the goal. It would be nice to have any healthy wingers.
It's extremely clear that the US doesn't really have an objective here except to inflict maximum pain, and attacking water supply is going to end catastrophically for the entire region. It's not just a war crime, it's approaching a crime against humanity.
There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.
Sounders officially down to 1 healthy CB. Yikes.
I think this is true and also the level of talent you need to be elite if you aren’t crazy athletic is really high in this era of MLS. Outside Latte Lath they don’t have a huge amount of athleticism. So they narrowed their margins on two fronts.
US and Israeli missiles have just hit a 4th school in Tehran.
This is an intentional massacre of children

Savage but true.
As predicted, France, the UK, Italy, and mie Germany are now acknowledging, carefully and belatedly, what Spain said out loud from day one about Trump and Netanyahu’s Iran war:
reckless, unlawful, and strategically empty.
Courage, it turns out, has a lag time.
It is a moral reflection on our society though. It’s not a leading cause of *gestures at world* but Americans being the most media illiterate mother fuckers on the planet isn’t not a factor!
The martial arts scenes in It’s A Wonderful Life were a key influence on The Matrix
kamala predicted all of this, that’s why her plan for ICE was to ah look at the time, gotta go
the cheapest and most abundant and utile political resource for the american ruling class is muslim life. this has been true my entire life. you can never go wrong slaughtering muslims
Oh man I need to try both of these.
