A top UAW official and Fain supporter posted a death threat against me: an AI-generated image of me bound and gagged at gunpoint. He is paid $202,000 a year from members’ dues.

I will not be intimidated, and this campaign will not be stopped.

@EricLeeAtty Is there any clarity on whether this will apply to those who have already applied for their Green Cards?

[Harvey Simpkins @HarveySimpkins1]

@BenjaminNorton How can you call a society with hundreds of billionaires socialist?

“China boasts the second-highest number of billionaires once again, with 450 on this year’s list, who are worth $1.7 trillion combined.”

There is no sound more joyful or more terrible than the laughter of two five-year olds freed from a prison camp after almost a year.

On Shakespeare’s birthday, this is well worth viewing for its defense of immigrants.

Obama dropped 26,171 bombs in 2016 alone.

He ordered ten times more drone strikes than Bush and even joked "I'm really good at killing people."

[Seyed Mohammad Marandi @s_m_marandi]

Twitter/@X is a tool of empire and war. It is silencing Iranians.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Georgia Voter: It's giving war crime. You can't do that. We don't just annihilate people because we can and, you know, make a grab for the money and the oil. And that's what we've done in Venezuela. And that's what we're doing in Iran.

[David North @DavidNorthWSWS]

Trump said: "An entire civilization will die tonight." We declare our solidarity with the people of Iran. The working class of the world must oppose this monstrous crime. It must be stopped.

[David North @DavidNorthWSWS]

On Saturday, I was barred from addressing a No Kings rally in Nürnberg, Germany. The organizers had said there would be an open mike. I had identified myself as WSWS editor, and was told that I would be allowed to speak. But after waiting for nearly an hour, I was surrounded by Democratic Party goons. They would not allow me to speak and condemn the illegal war against Iran, which the Democrats support.

No matter how much you love Roger Waters, it’s still not enough.

[Daniella Modos - Cutter -SEN @DmodosCutter]

The family of a killed U.S. airman Tech. Sgt. Tyler Simmons blames the war, saying it was avoidable and unjustified.

“We didn’t need to be in this war… this could have been prevented” as they call for the U.S. to stop fighting Iran.

[Middle East Eye @MiddleEastEye]

A non-profit that assists conscientious objectors said its phone has been "ringing off the hook” with US service members who object to serving in the US-Israel war on Iran

Reuters confirmed that the elementary school in the Iranian city of Minab was bombed TWICE by the US military, 40 minutes apart.

This was intentional. You don't "accidentally" bomb a school TWO TIMES.

168 children and 14 teachers were killed. It was a massacre.

סרטון מהעיר המדאן, היום. המדאן היא אחת הערים העתיקות באיראן, אולי אפילו בעולם. מזוהה עם שושן המקראית ומצוי בה גם אתר קבר אסתר ומרדכי, שמי יודע אם עדיין עומד על תילו אחרי ההפצצות.
כל היום אני שומעת את נהמת המטוסים בשמיים. מדינה ברברית שכל מה שהיא נוגעת בו הופך לחורבן ומוות.

[Center on Conscience & War @CCW4COs]

Got a call yesterday from a service member facing deployment who is not only filing for Conscientious Objector now, but reports widespread opposition to Iran War within their unit and will be sharing our number with everyone.

Let’s keep reaching them: 1-800-379-2679

As @WSWS_Updates stated, “the Israeli genocide in Gaza is to be the model for Iran.” https://t.co/J3QslD8FNk

[kev joon @never_oppressed]

The Gaza playbook, almost page for page, is being reapplied to Iran.

Israel and the US are attacking schools, parks, hospitals, sports stadiums, and pharmaceutical manufacturers. Babies had to be evacuated from this hospital in Bushehr early today.

[Pistachio 🇮🇷 🇵🇸 @HarleyShah]

So, the Iranian ship that was sank was unarmed, defenceless and invited by India for an exercise. The US was aware of this, pulled out of the exercise at the last minute to attack the Iranian ship, and left the Sri Lankan navy to recover the drowned bodies. Demonic nation.
