Florida public schools will require students to complete a Heritage Foundation-backed course on the "evils of communism" starting this fall.
Shahram Khosravi writes brilliantly on the current situation in Iran: “The word many people in Iran use to describe this condition is estisal, a state of helplessness, desperation, of being trapped in a problem with no imaginable solution.” www.versobooks.com/blogs/news/p...
That seems like a serious undercount given what we know about Lebanon.
It's been frustrating to watch Western media reach for the same pro-war, often pro-monarchy Iranians time and time again when there's such an easily accessible wealth of incredible scholarship done by people with deep ties to the country. An excellent list here.

Will Ogles be censured for his comments?
Because it's quite hard to read this as anything but a call for the expulsion (or worse) of 4.5 million people on the basis of their religion.
Looking forward to the administration being asked how Iran supposedly acquired these Tomahawks.
This is the first Ramadan when my grandmother's chair is empty because she was martyred during the famine, when medicine became a wish and bread became almost impossible to find.
Good an excuse as any to not implement a plan that was never going to be implemented. Meanwhile in the real world Gaza’s agony continues and Israel continues to do what it was already doing without the world noticing anymore.
Ah! Well,,
My entire Twitter timeline is just Farsi-language tweets of people talking about how intense the attacks are right now.
Tweet from Ramin Khanizadeh reads: Strikes on Tehran tonight can be said are more intense than what has happened over the past few days, and still ongoing.
While Trump telling CBS the war is "very complete" is dominating the headlines right now, Iranian Twitter is still reporting continued intense bombings. Here's an AFP journalist in Tehran.
Footage published by Iranian media today shows damage to Chehel Sotoon, a 17th century, Safavid-era landmark palace and garden located in the historic centre of Isfahan, after air strikes in its vicinity.
The Persian garden that surrounds the palace is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Can’t explain what it’s like to see, on live TV, the genocidal Israeli army’s tanks gathering at the border of my country
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.
Yep. Important to note and remind that many people would treat you like a psychopath for saying that Ali Khamenei was a restraint on the Iranian posture towards the West even though most actual analysts of Iran said so and here we are.
I think this deserves at least as much sustained attention from US media as Claudine Gay's dissertation
Something that has been making me feel despondent all day is how I’ve heard so many reports of homes in Tehran with their windows blown out due to the explosions. No respite from this toxicity, not even inside.
reminded of a George Jackson quote from Tip of the Spear:
> I am an extremist. I call for extreme measures to solve extreme problems.
the us and israel love to create "hardline" regimes and then pretend they're just reacting to shit that happened. iran is extremist, the us creates extreme problems
scoop -> Israel's strikes on 30 Iranian fuel depots went far beyond what the U.S. expected when Israel notified it in advance, the first significant disagreement between the allies since the war began, according to a U.S. official, Israeli official and a source with knowledge. Scoop: U.S. dismayed by Israel's Iran fuel
This should for all intents and purposes be treated as a straight up lie and misinformation on the part of the US until proven otherwise
If the main US and Israeli war aim is simply to destroy the Iranian state and economy then that's more achievable than many on this site think
And yet, not a word indicating agency in the title or subhead. It’s not “upon us”, it is a direct and obvious consequence of choices by US leadership
Lebanon’s Ministry of Health reports 394 people died since Monday from Israeli attacks.
22 percent of those are children. That’s 86 children in a week.
"The closure of the Rafah crossing has crushed Gazans' hopes."
"I am suffering from a seven-centimeter bone loss and urgently need a bone graft."
"The risk of amputation haunts me every day."

Tweet from Daniel Pipes: "The uprising in Iran in early January suggested an even greater insurgency would then follow on the U.S.-Israeli campaign to erode regime power. Yet, the populace now appears cowed into near-silence. This ranks as the most surprising and disappointing development of the past week. Without a new uprising, the regime will likely remain in power, less powerful but more awful than ever. (The picture below is from Jan. 10 in Tehran.)"
Amazing how quickly "We're fighting this war for freedom of the Iranian people" becomes "The Iranian people are at fault for not rising up."
New video footage shows a US Tomahawk missile hitting an IRGC facility in Minab, Iran, on Feb 28, showing for the first time that the US struck the area. The footage also shows smoke already rising from the vicinity of the girls’ school, where 175 people were reportedly killed, including children.
I could go on and on. I will stop with a photo of my beautiful grandmother.
This war is illegal. It is being conducted in a brutal and criminal way. The US/Israel will not stop with Iran. They will come for the rest of you…at some point…unless they are stopped
I was in Tehran this time last year. I want you to see how beautiful my city is. I want you to see the city the US/Israel is trying to wipe off the face of the earth
