🚨‼️ @jbpritzker.bsky.social on Trump's ICE raids: We don't know if they're coming back, but we're prepared if they do. And when this administration is done, we will hold every CBP and ICE officer accountable for what they've done.

Anything to get attention…
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine demands that all persons guilty of kidnapping Ukrainian citizens, their ill-treatment,pressure, intimidation,&abuse, the denial of access to consular assistance and medications, depriving them of communication, and other violations of their rights,as well
The people of Iran deserve freedom, dignity, and the right to decide their own future.
Even if we know this will be fraught with danger and instability during and after the war.
Two teenagers in Iran were sentenced to death following protests. Another 22 people are at risk. Call on Iran to stop these death sentences and release protesters. Sign the petition!

When Israel targeted Gaza’s water supply, people rightly called it out as a war crime, denying civilians the most basic supplies.
Israel threatened to target anyone who succeeds or seeks to appoint a successor to Iran’s deceased Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

These are Olena Udovichenko and her son Hordii.
A Russian missile killed them today.
Olena was a teacher in a Kharkiv school, Hordii was a second-grader there.
Last night, Russia killed 11 people in Kharkiv, including Olena and Hordii.
RIP.
decorrespondent.nl/16794/weten-... Indrukwekkend, belangrijk interview met @carolinedegruyter.bsky.social. Onder meer over ons, Europese zondagskinderen, die wakker schrikken op een gure maandagochtend. Ze schreef er een boek over. Aanrader.
De pro-Russische Hongaarse regering weigert nog altijd om een in beslag genomen Oekraïens geldtransport terug te geven.
Eigenaar Oschadbank gaat nu juridische stappen ondernemen om de twee geldtransportwagens met in totaal 40 miljoen dollar, 35 miljoen euro en 9 kilogram bankgoud terug te krijgen.
What a wonderful side benefit to Trump. He gets to hand billions to Putin's war machine, pretending to help US consumers deal with the price shock his attack on Iran has caused.
All the while averting his gaze from Russian actions that help Iran target the US military.
Got it.
"War is mankind's most tragic and stupid folly; to seek or advise its deliberate provocation is a black crime against all men. Though you follow the trade of the warrior, you do so in the spirit of Washington -- not of Genghis Khan. For Americans, only threat to our way of life justifies resort to conflict." Graduation Exercises at the United States Military Academy, 6/3/47 "Possibly my hatred of war blinds me so that I cannot comprehend the arguments they adduce. But, in my opinion, there is no such thing as a preventive war. Although this suggestion is repeatedly made, none has yet explained how war prevents war. Worse than this, no one has been able to explain away the fact that war creates the conditions that beget war." Remarks at Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 10/19/50 [DDE's Pre-Presidential Papers, Principal File, Box
Was browsing the Eisenhower Library site this morning trying to find a quote I remembered.
President Eisenhower, WW2 military hero:
“In my opinion, there is no such thing as a preventive war… none has yet explained how war prevents war.”
NEW: A classified report by the National Intelligence Council, representing the collective wisdom of America's 18 intelligence agencies, found that even a large-scale assault on Iran would be unlikely to oust its entrenched military and clerical establishment 🧵

Iran, of hoe Europa wegkeek www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2026/... "Onder het mom van ‘rationeel beleid’ werd [in de jaren 1980 en daarna] de vrijheid die de Iraanse bevolking echt begeerde, als ‘irrationeel’ weggewuifd. En werden de eigen waarden opgeofferd aan de handelslobby." #neoliberalisme
Hegseth and Stephen Miller ridiculed "rules of engagement" and vowed this war won't be "politically correct." Now it looks like we may have bombed an elementary school. Hegseth/Miller's certainty that their version of "strength" would have support is imploding. 3/

For anyone who would like the clip (including George).
This is what Badenoch, Farage, the Murdoch press, and Paul Marshall's stable of GB News weirdos want us to get behind, and you know what I'm good, thanks...
- Officiële verklaringen en analyses van social media, video’s en satellietbeelden suggereren dat Amerika, dat doelwitten in de buurt van Minab bestookte, verantwoordelijk is voor het bombarderen van de school in Minab, meldt de NYT op basis van eigen onderzoek.
Sorry @politico.eu, but since when it is reporting language to call a meeting of representatives of EU member states and Commission officials "EU apparatchiks" - clearly implying Soviet Style, unthinking/ideologicial and faceless bureaucrats?

I have wondered when Turkey would start protesting now that several other European navies are coming to the aid of Cyprus, in particular Greece with two frigates. I guess that point has already been reached:

Senator John Fetterman was the only Democrat to vote against the resolution. Senator Rand Paul was the only Republican to vote for the resolution. This was Congress’s first vote on the war. trib.al/afMpgnu
