Trump is obsessed with nuclear weapons & has long wanted to use them. Iran presents a perfect opportunity: Radiation from a nuclear weapon used on Iran's fortified underground nuclear facility will provide plausible deniability. I'd bet they're considering this. www.axios.com/2025/06/17/t...

If you're attending protests, please use digital hygiene! Phones: Turn off geolocation & facial/fingerprint recognition. Use Airplane Mode. Don't upload pix/video of protesters' faces. Better: Turn off your phone and put it in a Faraday bag. /1 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
