How is this not just rank racism and anti-Muslim sentiment? I do not buy any other explanation!

It is not, in fact, an excellent article (oped). Blinken does lay out reasons the attack was extremely stupid and counterproductive, which raises the question of what "success" looks like. More critically, he lies about the background of all of this -- eg mentioning Gaza only as a "proxy" of Iran.

No matter how often I see this data, I always find it shocking. Of all the massive growth in output produced by the world's workers since 1980, more than half of it has been captured by the richest 1%. This is what happens when capital controls production.

It is worth reminding every American today that the people who hid Anne Frank were outlaws. The people who sent her to die in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp were law-abiding citizens.

The “Iran has nukes” lie in 2025 is the “Iraq has WMDs" lie of 2003. And corporate media is piling on for clicks. But there's one big difference in 2025! Now—we have independent platforms to reject this racist and dangerous propaganda. Here’s how we take action: www.qasimrashid.com/p/same-lies-...

I was bobbing gently in a kayak in quite low light, so this took a bit of post-processing, but I really wanted to capture this goldeneye feather floating on the water. An echo of the birds who had been there only a few moments before. 🌿🪶

Great example of what American exceptionalism does to your brain. Bombing a sovereignty country in violation of international law is indeed an act of war, not a form of peace.

I’ve begun my journey to reduce my reliance on US tech, so it’s time for an update on how it’s all going! No surprise, some services are far more easy to replace than others. Email and streaming are low-hanging fruit; maps and messaging can be more difficult. But we should still make the effort.

Israel's war on Iran is not just a geopolitical maneuver. It is a mirror held up to the West—and the reflection is damning. Every justification, every double standard, every shrug in the face of war crimes tells us who we are.

Remember. Any county of 70 million people is going to have a range of views. The views of Iranians you may know are as valid and complex as any other person. There's a lot of history and pain. That doesn't make them the Univocal Iranian Voice We Should Listen To.

Jake Tapper was ready to fabricate quotes by Tlaib in order to smear her for a week straight but seems to have no interest in Randy Fine's anti-Muslim, anti-Arab, anti-Iranian rhetoric which he puts out day after day after day after day after day. I wonder what that's all about.

The absolute full-court press from media + elites on behalf of Cuomo demonstrates yet again that when they want to make something a story -- not just "cover it," but pound on it until it sinks in as a public narrative -- they know exactly how.

Ten Air Force C-17 Globemaster IIIs have been transporting cargo to various CENTCOM bases in the Middle East. So no let up. Trump’s two-week window will allow naval support to reach the area and Israel to destroy air defences around the Fordow nuclear facility.
