Tehran's Metropolitan Statistical Area is roughly 16 million according to 2016 statistics. NYC's Metropolitan Statistical Area is roughly 18 million according to 2020 Census. Meanwhile NYC MSA is 11280 square miles- triple the space. We're talking evacuating much of the tristate area's population

ICE is attempting to deport an Atlanta-based Spanish-language reporter from El Salvador who has been covering their immigration abductions. He has legal work authorization and a path to a green card. This is pretty obviously an assault on the free press. www.ajc.com/news/2025/06...

Last I heard deliberately bombing civilian areas was a war crime. Maybe ask your local Republican County HQ and see if they have any comments since the Rs in DC don’t want to talk to their constituents.

I’m thinking Netanyahu is trying to extort Trump into destroying the underground facilities at Natanz and Fordo in exchange for sparing Khamanei’s life.

“I was born here,” Jason Brian Gavidia shouted as a federal agent twisted his arm & pressed him against a fence outside his auto body shop in a working-class L.A. suburb. “I’m an American, bro!” Vivid @nytimes.com reporting on the targeting of U.S. citizens of Hispanic descent.

Trump’s attempts to dehumanize large segments of the American people in order to use military force against them fits the classic definition of “tyranny,” and right wing rhetoric using the phrase “third world” to justify it is no accident (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

😢 Back in the 1980’s during the Iran/Iraq War, if you were “in the right place at the right time”, you had the privilege of watching Saddam Hussein launch flights of fighter jets into Iranian airspace, only to see them do a 180 and hightail it back home when 1 Iranian F-14 appeared on the screen.

I’m old enough to remember Trump going around telling voters “I have nothing to do with Russia!”[even though his own sons bragged that he did] Now that he’s President again there’s no aspect of his Administration, that if you dig deep enough, does not have some tie to Russia.

Russian fascists are returning bodies of Ukrainian prisoners of war they tortured and executed without limbs. On other occasions, Russians return lone limbs and body parts, which are then identified through DNA testing to match the bodies previously returned.

Boelter's "POLICE" license looked janky, as you can see in this slide. And yet even after a cop encountered him in his car, he was able to drive away, head to Melissa Hortman's house, and murder her and her husband

BTW don’t hold your breath on anyone in the WH press corps asking about this incident in the WH’s daily press briefing.
