I think he and a core group of his admin have been "planning" this for years, and I suspect they have plans for the aftermath that they will never discuss. Expect more vague, misleading answers from them.
That being said, I'm sure they're not nearly as competent as they think they are.

If you follow the Christian Nationalist religious war topic and the Iranian diaspora community's posts, it makes a lot more "sense." IMO he's deliberately not explaining any of that to keep people guessing about what he'll do next or why he did what he did.

And I see she's wearing her Ramallah lynching pin. Gross

They assume that because they immediately think of sexuality when it comes to anything beyond straight that children will think that too.

"state-run IRNA news agency reports"

Might this agency be a part of the gov that killed over 30k of it's own people a few weeks ago?

The same gov intent on controlling the narrative for their own benefit?

What would killing a few school girls be to such a government?

Question everything.

"an official says on Iranian state TV"

Maybe.

Or maybe not.

(I'm not a fan of this war, but I'm aware there are powerful narratives being manipulated to win our sympathies/hate.)

Maybe let's see if that's correct or if the IRGC planted this to gain the upper hand in the narrative.

Anyone thinking they aren't capable - it's believed that they killed 30k or more of their own people a few weeks ago. What's a few school girls to gain the upper hand in the narrative?

This is the IRGC'S modus operandi.

Sounds like the IRGC's modus operandi.

But we've been conditioned to believe it's what Israel does, so we probably shouldn't look into it any further.

Thanks for sharing.
I wish Elica would start posting here.

What happened in 2020 that could have caused this change?

I definitely should use my "intuition" to determine the truth.

I look forward to the day when Ukraine rebuilds Mariupol into a beautiful, thriving city.

Agreed.

I agree that they should have mentioned @sollenbergerrc.bsky.social on the earlier broadcast, but at some point MSNOW corrected the problem. At the beginning of Deadline yesterday they specifically mentioned his reporting when talking about the story. That's how I became aware of his scoop.

I actually heard about this on Deadline, so at least someone there did the right thing.

@sollenbergerrc.bsky.social figured it out and wrote about it first. Let's give him credit!

Not yet, but there has been quite a bit of work to include it. Psychologists are increasingly accepting of it.
It's real, and most people have no experience with it so their objections aren't based in reality.

For what it's worth, I agree with pretty much everything you've said, with the one caveat about what disabled people are able to do/not do.

You shouldn't have to fight or explain anything to anyone, and I think it's shitty that people minimize racism and the harm it does.

I am not excusing his language or other's terrible racist reactions. I'm saying it's entirely possible that he is 100% against that language, said it despite that fact, and is so upset that he offended people in one of the worst ways that he's having trouble handling it properly.
