Insane: according to Rubio the "imminent threat" that Iran posed - that justified "preemptive war" - was that the U.S. knew Israel would attack them, and they expected Iran would respond. https://t.co/F6tM6X668B

It's literally the equivalent of saying "I knew that guy was a threat because I knew he'd shoot back after getting shot by my friend."

Rubio calls striking Iran in that context "going proactively in a defensive way", which has got to be one of the most Orwellian sentences ever uttered by a Secretary of State.

Any normal can see that what this actually means was that those under "imminent threat" were actually Iran. Rubio just admitted very clearly that Iran was the victim here.

It has been said that “liberalism is capitalism’s lying smile, fascism is capitalism’s honest fists”.

Americans have once again voted for the fists, and this time, it appears they have a majority of US capital behind them.

It's cute so many American citizen's think they live in a democracy.

Enjoy the 4 year show finale, where on of the figure-heads is eliminated in a lighting round.

The real winners are the rich, who aren't passing power to anyone.

Many of us focus on Palestinian children—and to a lesser extent Palestinian women—but Palestinian men have been dehumanised like no other group in Palestine. They have been killed, detained, tortured, raped, and treated like terrorists. It's beyond horrifying.

[Chay Bowes @BowesChay]

It is a remarkable reality. Conveniently forgotten.

BBC is refusing to mention the Zionists are attacking UN peacekeepers in Lebanon.

Anyone who thinks this passive language is accidental is dumb.

Anyone who thinks Western media is unbiased is super dumb.

China is not a threat to peace; China is the peace.

A thought today for the 4,502,996 people who died as a result of 9/11:
- The 2,996 people who died on the day
- The 4,500,000 people - overwhelmingly innocent civilians - who died in the US's senseless post-9/11 wars (src: https://t.co/XpSUaSWccR)

And also a thought for the 38 million refugees these wars created (same source).

FLASHBACK: On this day, September 10, 2001 -- Donald Rumsfeld reveals that the Pentagon couldn't account for a missing $2.3 trillion. The following day, the news mysteriously faded from everyone’s memory.

U.S. Olympians are using their trip to the Olympics to get the basic preventative healthcare they can’t afford to get in the U.S.

We should be embarrassed that we’re the only industrialized country without universal healthcare — all because lobbyists pay off our politicians.
