Lindsey Graham, a hero of neocons and Iranian monarchists, seems more unbalanced than usual as he promises the Fox viewers that the US is "going to blow the hell out of these people." Graham has supported every disastrous war the US has started. This one might be the worst.

Told @AJE that the US's strategic defeat against Iran also raises questions about the sustainability of American primacy, not just in the Middle East, but globally. Iran has done to the US what Ukraine did to Russia.

Tone always matters in diplomacy, particularly in sensitive phases such as the one the US & Iran find themselves in right now. Trump is usually his worst enemy when it comes to tone, but some of his latest tweets have shown unusual sensitivity to the need for a more respectful tone.

This is the West Bank. An Israeli soldier assaults a Palestinian child near Ramallah. The child looks no older than 6. If any other country's soldiers did this to a child, Washington would call for military intervention. But because it is Israel, US taxpayers finance this.

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 Steve Bannon that the manner in which Israel and Trump have conducted the war on Iran has left most of the population increasingly convinced that it's a war on Iran, not a war on the theocracy. This cannot be reversed - rather, Trump should just end the war.

Both Trump and Iran need a deal. Even short of war, the ceasefire is putting too much pressure on the US economy and the GOP's political prospects. And Iran needs to translate the outcome of the war into much-needed sanctions relief. Both will lose if a deal is missed.

Told @BBCWorld that progress appears to have been made in the talks, but it is still subject to Trump's self-sabotage. But one factor may help him muster much-needed discipline: It'll be embarrassing for him to show up in Beijing next week without having stabilized the situation

Tehran has been under sanctions for 47 years. None of those sanctions has proven to be the silver bullet that would bring Iran to its knees. The only thing that has worked is the same disciplined, patient, and constructive diplomacy that delivered the JCPOA.

Two weeks into the war, Iran is still shooting missiles that Israeli air defenses fail to bring down. This footage from NBC last night shows an Iranian missile apparently dodging two Israeli interceptors and then hitting Tel Aviv with a massive explosion.

Walking stick in the sweet potatoe vines, with a blue light.

On Thursday afternoon, the Israeli occupation forces carried out two airstrikes near the Tebnine Governmental Hospital in the Bint Jbeil district, damaging the facility. Despite the assaults, the hospital's medical staff continues to work.

In this special episode, we examine the US mainstream media in Trump’s second term - as ownership concentrates in the hands of a small group of billionaires, putting journalism itself at risk, and as the White House aggressively reshapes its relationship with the press.

With the news that Gov Jared Polis of Colorado just granted clemency to Tina Peters, justice has been once again perverted, and this time by a DEMOCRAT desperate for Donald Trumps adoration. Congrats Jared Polis. I bet you get invited to the WH now

Rep. Tom Kean Jr. voted to cut $1 trillion from Medicaid, along with every Republican in Congress. Why? To give trillions in tax handouts to the richest people in the history of the world. - @alaw202.bsky.social

Dr. Paul Bullen warns #Khalistani extremists thrive in 🇨🇦 because “Sikh violence doesn’t get mentioned”—due to hate-speech laws & fear of backlash. “Can you imagine publicly funded media openly critiquing Sikh extremism? It’s not even something they’re allowed to think about. #cdnpoli

Christopher Ambrose told a federal court he’s too broke to pay $405. He’s living in a $3,750/month beachfront property and pulls TV royalties. Judge Sarala Nagala just gave him 9 days to prove poverty—or lose everything. #PerjuryWatch #FederalCourt https://loom.ly/2KKqgDQ

Even after 5 days, the fire at the Perm pipeline pump station in Russia hasn’t been extinguished. Here a video allegedly today from someone at the Perm airport. The long duration of the fire almost certainly means that the whole facility will be inoperable for a long time.

I was only on a short break.

We asked Andrew Cuomo whether he would commit to supporting reparations and making equality real for Black New Yorkers. He refused to do so as Governor and refused to give us a clear answer now unlike @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social who has already signed our pledge to back repair.
