Great watching Joy Reid eviscerate this bigoted ahistorical delusion that every negative feeling towards the US government is because “they” are irrational freedom-hating extremists. Reid details how the US overthrew electoral democracy in Iran and installed a brutal dictator.

Remember when they used to lie & pretend they just wanted “legal” migrants or “highly skilled” migrants? Mamdani’s parents are both professors at Columbia university. His mother, Mira Nair, is a renowned film director Miller is just a bigot who hates specific shades of migrants

Reading this article in full gave me a panic attack; my heart is pounding, my lungs feel crushed... I've been documenting atrocities my entire adult life; this cruelty is in a league of its own Starving children, luring them with crumbs, then gunning them down with machine

The Haaretz report this thread cites is horrifying. It's a series of Israeli soldiers reporting endless war crimes in which troops were regularly ordered to fire live ammunition & mortars at civilians who posed no threat simply to indicate when aid centers were open or closed.

It's wildly unlikely that NATO members will hit their 5% of GDP spending targets, but by the time they're meant to Trump will have left office. Same with Saudi promising $1 trillion in US investments. These are often empty pledges for vacuous headlines that defuse Trump's threats

Update: 71 killed, detainees, people living in the area, staff, soldiers, people waiting to visit love ones. Families were in agony for days unable to contact parents, children, sisters ... to learn if they survived, including members of the Baha'i community, people I know. #Iran

Thom Tillis is a case study in why we must call our Senators every single day. This is me, calling Thom from my wedding reception in 2022 to bitch about a Republican proposed gun bill he ended up voting no on. Call. Your. Senators. Every. Day.
