Autocracy can grow and flourish in the soil of apathy, stupidity and ignorance. We have all three ingredients right now in the authoritarian USA, which allows the politics of racketeering, corruption and avarice to thrive, infect and destroy.
@yarotrof In other words, the surrender of the USA. trump must be impeached now and removed from office. Oh, and when the US taxpayer shells out to rebuild Iran, guess whose chums will be in there with their multi billion dollar reconciliation plans!
Iran’s Mehr news agency publishes the purported text of the draft agreement with Trump. It will keep the Strait of Hormuz under Iranian control, will promise Iran $300 billion in reconstruction money in addition to an immediate cash transfer of $24 billion, a suspension of sanctions and the withdrawal of U.S. forces from the Middle East. Also, a commitment not to bother Iran again about its missiles and proxies, and restraining Israel in Lebanon.
The U.S. gets in exchange a pinky promise to respect the NPT.
Let’s see what happens in coming days.

Full text:
A permanent and immediate cessation of war on all fronts, including Lebanon.
A U.S. commitment not to interfere in Iran’s internal affairs and to respect the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Full lifting of the naval blockade within 30 days.
A U.S. commitment to withdraw its forces from areas surrounding Iran.
Reopening of the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days under arrangements determined by Iran.
Suspension of sanctions on the sale of oil, petrochemical products, and related derivatives, along with full Iranian access to the resulting financial revenues.
The United States and its allies would be required to present reconstruction plans for Iran worth at least $300 billion.
A 60-day negotiation period aimed at reaching a final agreement covering nuclear issues and the complete removal of U.S. primary and secondary sanctions, as well as the repeal of relevant resolutions of the UN Security Council and the IAEA Board of Governors.
Reaffirmation by Iran of its commitment under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) not to produce nuclear weapons.
During the negotiation period, the United States would commit not to deploy additional forces to the region and not to impose any new sanctions.
The release of $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets during the 60-day final negotiation period. Half of this amount must be made available to Iran before negotiations begin.
Establishment of a monitoring mechanism to oversee implementation of the agreement.
The final agreement would be approved through a UN Security Council resolution.
Final negotiations would not begin before the release of half of Iran’s frozen assets, the suspension of oil sanctions, and the lifting of the naval blockade. The final agreement would focus exclusively on the future of enriched nuclear material and uranium enrichment, sanctions relief, and a program for rebuilding Iran’s economy. Discussion of Iran’s missile program and its support for resistance groups would be definitively excluded from the agenda.
As stated by the Foreign Ministry spokesperson, this text still requires review and final approval by the relevant authorities in Iran.
Londoners are rightfully concerned that an event promoting land confiscation & destruction of homes is due to take place - so I put this question directly to the Mayor today.
I welcome his strong condemnation. But condemnation is not enough, this event must be cancelled.
BREAKING: CNN Just Highlighted A Pretty Devastating Number.
84% of Americans say the Epstein files reinforce their belief that powerful people are rarely held accountable.
Think about that.
Not 84% of Democrats.
Not 84% of Republicans.
84% of Americans.
The breakdown was even more striking:
- 82% of Republicans
- 80% of Independents
- 90% of Democrats
Prediction markets have reportedly lowered the odds that Todd Blanche becomes Trump's next Attorney General.
The Epstein controversy isn't creating distrust.
It's validating distrust that was already there.
And now it's starting to affect people connected to the administration.
🚨The recent images of Dr. Hussam Abu Safyia are shocking evidence of Israel's abuse against Palestinian detainees.
Dr. Abu Safyia has been arbitrarily detained for one and a half years without charges, while being physically abused and denied healthcare.
His recent solitary confinement adds a further layer of concerns over his deteriorating health. Dr. Abu Safyia must be immediately and unconditionally released. Israel must release all Palestinians arbitrarily detained. States must pressure Israel to stop abusing Palestinian prisoners.

RFK Jr has cut Alzheimers research.
Alzheimers.
One of the most devastating, urgent and increasing health problems we face today.
He's not interested.
He's a nasty piece of work.
I thought that if Israeli soldiers or settlers attacked Christian villages, the Christian world would unite in their millions in condemnation that their sacred sites were being burnt and erased.
This is what Elon Musk doesn't want you to see on this platform. This’s what your media won’t report.
Lebanon is being ethnically cleansed in real time.
Trump called the Epstein files a hoax.
Behind closed doors, his White House was in full panic mode, holding Situation Room meetings over what could come out and how to contain the damage.
JD Vance was in the room.
Bring in Blanche. Bring in Vance.
Under oath. On camera.
Bragging that you dropped $250 million dollars worth of bombs on Iran IN ONE NIGHT, while people are starving and struggling to pay bills and can't get health insurance, is NOT the flex you think it is.
IT IS OBSCENE.
She is lying. Brazenly. Israel has forced over a million people (a million!) from their homes, razed entire neighborhoods to the ground, told Christian villagers to not let Shia villagers stay in their villages, and killed multiple first-responders in double tap strikes.
CNN aired a montage of Trump’s past claims that the U.S. was on the cusp of a deal with Iran, with Anderson Cooper noting that today’s announcement marks the 39th time he’s made a similar claim.
I wouldn’t be where I am today without the love and support that @MichelleObama has poured into me over the years. Her story — from her South Side roots to the White House and beyond — is a central part of the Obama Presidential Center.
🚨Holy shit: After Trump’s idiotic statement that he “loved the inflation” — Harry Enten says his approval has never been worse.
Trump has now reached the LOWEST APPROVAL on inflation than ANY PRESIDENT IN HISTORY, plummeting to -50 points. Wow.
#TrumpLovesTheInflation
🚨 BOMBSHELL! Fmr. DOJ Prosecutor Brendan Ballou exposes Trump's massive UFC scam. He confirms the administration is selling $1.5M VIP packages for White House cage fights.
Washington is openly using public monuments to generate private profits. Pure corruption!
"Very poor white people” are being convinced that “very poor, hard-working brown or Black people” are responsible for the “problems caused by billionaire white men”, Allison Morris, Crime Correspondent at the Belfast Telegraph, says in the wake of the riots that spread through the capital of Northern Ireland overnight.
🚨 BREAKING: The Vice President Is Now Being Pulled Into The Epstein Controversy.
According to new reporting, JD Vance participated in Situation Room meetings with senior administration officials to discuss strategy surrounding the Epstein files.
Think about that.
The Situation Room is normally associated with wars, terrorist attacks, and national security crises.
Now reports say it was being used to discuss Epstein.
Then came another revelation:
The Vice President was reportedly in the room alongside Susie Wiles, Kash Patel, Pam Bondi, Todd Blanche, and others.
That’s what makes this significant.
Bad enough that officials were discussing Epstein rebuttals.
But some of the highest-ranking officials in the federal government were reportedly involved.
The question is why.
