Morning Bluesky. A gentle start to the day before…everything.

🤔🇮🇱🇮🇷 Israel launched strikes on Iran last week, saying Iran was close to a nuclear "point of no return," - CNN ☢️❌ But US intelligence disagrees - officials estimate Iran was not actively building a bomb and was up to 3 (❗️) years away from building a nuclear weapon.

Just one day after Trump said Russia should be in the G8

To understand this Australian joke, you will need to google ‘the death cap mushroom murders’.

"There is no wider legal right of 'anticipatory' self-defence against a speculative, more distant future threat, to prevent another country acquiring weapons, or to disarm a country. Israel’s lawless attack hands Iran the legal right of self-defence." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Kyiv today.

The irony that he’s hiding his face with a Palestinian scarf.

🚨 Iran: Hundreds of political prisoners of the brutal Islamist regime appear to have been set free in Tehran. Countdown to the overthrow of the dictatorship begins.

Peace, stability, Gaza … but let’s first make sure we keep petrol prices down.

What role did his wife Jenny Boelter play in this mass murder? Police stopped her with a car full of cash, firearms, and passports—then let her go. Contrast this leniency with the cruelty of ICE raiding, arresting, & deporting US citizens of Latino backgrounds. www.qasimrashid.com/p/mn-terrori...

In Australia, haters are already using cars as slaughterbots. Let’s see if Leanne De Baize is charged appropriately on 7 July 2025 in Melbourne. www.abc.net.au/news/2023-04...

Word on the street is that the US Army intentionally played Credence Clearwater Revival’s ‘Fortunate Son’ to mock Trump who avoided the draft thanks to daddy’s money.

“The world needs this war even if they don’t know it.” FMD

The war Trump thinks he needs in order to stay in power. I expect we’ll likely see regime change in Iran, Russia, Israel and hopefully the USA, but not in Canada or Australia or Ukraine 🇺🇦.

Someone should tell Australia’s ABC. Because they inaccurately said there were only thousands at the #nokings protests in 2,000 US cities plus many towns, while they said accurately that there were a thousands (more than two) at his fascist military parade. Australia is on a dangerous path …

John Hoffman and Yvette Hoffman were hit by a combined 17 bullets from the Minnesota assassin, and both survived and are now recovering. Yvette shielded their daughter. www.startribune.com/john-hoffman...

Canada will gladly welcome Minnesota as the 11th province. Or maybe as the 4th territory until you complete the initial trial period.

The Israel-Iran war reminds me of an old Middle Eastern saying, “The enemy of my enemy … is still a terror state run by a genocidal war criminal.”
