It would be bizarre if the US went to Islamabad insisting on zero enrichment, knowing Tehran would never accept it. Indeed, if the nuclear issue were truly the focus, it could never be agreed upon in a single round of talks, given its technical complexities.

An Iranian woman films her neighborhood being bombed by Israel. As she seeks cover, Israel strikes again, in what appears to be a double-tap strike. The woman films her own death. Some Iranians in the diaspora dance and celebrate this, believing these are democracy bombs...
BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV deems the Iran War unjust. Says it isn't “solving anything,” only spreading more hate. He then goes on to urge Americans to call Congress and press lawmakers to end the war and work for peace.
The list of losers of this illegal war of choice is plenty, the winners are few. Even if Iran considers itself a winner - and to some extent that is true - it means very little unless it is translated into a new order with sanctions relief. The Iranians have failed to achieve that yet.
Told @NewsNation that Trump always uses social media to mock his counterparts, as an effort to create the optics of dominance. But it's one thing to do trash talk in a negotiation, completely different when the US is in an actual war and diplomacy is needed to end that war...

The infantility of the German gov appears to have no limits. The German FM now says that "regimes like Iran cannot invoke international law.” The most fundamental principle of international law is that it applies equally to all states. To challenge that is to declare yourself a rogue state.
WOW! CNN announces that there is no longer a divide within the Democratic party on Israel - the party base (not its leadership) is overwhelmingly opposed to Israel! No age divide or divide between Liberals and non-Liberals. A majority of all demographics oppose Israel.
SNL cracks the code on Trump's strategy! "We don't know [what's happening]! And that's the whole point! If we don't know what we are doing, then Iran definitely doesn't know what we are doing!"
There is still an off-ramp available to Trump, but it will require a compromise, including sanctions relief for Iran. There are ways Trump can do this that will serve US interest. But if he goes in with ground troops, the opportunity will likely be lost.
After two of their employees lost their home to the wildfires, the Rustic Inn Cafe in Two Harbors stepped up to collect donations and serve free meals to first responders and those impacted by the fires. One of the many examples of Minnesotans showing up for one another in a time of need.
Political violence has absolutely no place in our nation. Our democracy can only function when we resolve our differences peacefully. I am grateful to law enforcement for their swift response and that no one was seriously injured last night.
RFK Jr. is a conspiracy theorist with zero medical qualifications. His hostility towards vaccines and cuts to HHS research funding are pushing scientific breakthroughs further into the future, making our public health worse off. I've said it before and I'll say it again: He should resign.

“Bolsonarista raiz” virou ex-bolsonarista. Acordou?. Não duvido que ainda seja eleitor dos filhos. Não existe bolsonarista enganado. Aquilo de que ele se queixa no vídeo, o ex-presidiário da Papudinha já demonstrava em seu histórico como deputado federal inútil e incompetente. 1/2⤵️

Just sharing a video clip of our little reminder to the whole Church yesterday of the need to act and speak out much more powerfully on climate change. We went to Westminster Abbey, but it is the whole Church that needs to act. The lives of all God’s people and all Creation should matter to us.
Memorial Day began as Decoration Day, founded to honor those who died to end slavery. It is an inherently abolitionist, antifascist holiday. Not just to mourn what is lost, but to remind us that human beings deserve freedom, and our neighbors are worth fighting for. www.noiceinthecup.us
RT @dwarkesh_sp: Lots of people have a very strong feeling that the concept of consciousness is absolutely central to ethics. But we barely understand how consciousness works at all - especially in the case of AI.
