Congrats! Trump’s (illegal) air strikes on Iran energized and empowered the most hardline, nationalistic, anti-western, and belligerent folks in Iran.

Israel embedded its spies inside Iran, activated them to attack Iran—and Israel gets praised as a military genius. The White House lies that Iran has embedded "Islamic terrorists sleeper cells" in the United States—and Iranians & Muslims get demonized. Grotesque & racist double standards.

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment. Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off. 📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

I get annoyed at the narrative that all the awareness and work on climate change hasn't done anything. Yes, global CO₂ emissions indeed continue to climb, but we don't know the counterfactual. When I was in grad school, we were on track for 5°C of warming. Now it's below 3°C. That's progress.

United Nations Secretary-General: We strongly condemn the US bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities, which constitutes a dangerous escalation of the conflict in the Middle East. The aggression seriously violates the UN Charter and law and plunges humanity into a crisis with irreversible consequences.

We don’t know if we’re safer today—but we do know this president never made the case that Iran posed an imminent nuclear threat.

This really isn’t a hard message. Obama neutralized the Iran nuclear program through the hard work of diplomacy, but Trump tore up the deal in his first term out of spite and chose war instead.

Rubio on CBS: "This wasn't a regime change move." Vance on ABC: "Well, first of all, we don't want to achieve regime change." Vance on NBC: "our view has been very clear that we don't want a regime change." Trump, not waiting even 24 hours to undercut and humiliate them:

I sure would love to see all the democrats in Congress on the Capitol steps calling for impeachment in one voice. I know we can't do it without republican votes, but it sure would be nice to see a loud, unified message. I'll be calling my reps today and asking them to please do this. Join me.

Some U.S. media (such as the Washington Post here) trace U.S.-Iranian animosity back to the 1979 Islamic Revolution, conveniently forgetting that the CIA helped overthrow a democratically elected Iranian government in 1953, forcing Iranians to endure decades of the Shah’s brutal rule.

Thanks to @bookersquared.bsky.social this went viral on IG. It’s more from my #RMU @rolandsmartin.bsky.social hit on Friday night where I broke news about the real reason behind the fake 2-week pause. In this clip, I remind folks that Iran has friends & that Trump is Fredo not Michael.
