🚨 IRGC Launches Missile Strikes on U.S. Bases in Kuwait; Explosions Also Reported in Bahrain and Iraq

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has claimed responsibility for missile strikes on U.S. military bases in Kuwait, saying the attacks were retaliation for an American strike on Qeshm Island, a strategically located island in the Strait of Hormuz.

▪️ Kuwait’s defense ministry confirmed it is under attack from drones and missiles; Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB said strikes hit both Camp Arifjan and Ali Al-Salem Airbase in at least two waves

▪️ Eight explosions reported in Bahrain, which is also under attack, according to various monitoring accounts

▪️ Explosions were reported near the village of Masan on the southern coast of Qeshm Island, Fars news reported

▪️ Iran also appears to be heavily striking Iranian-Kurdish opposition groups near Erbil in northern Iraq

▪️ Earlier, CENTCOM said U.S. forces fired a Hellfire missile into the engine room of a Botswana-flagged commercial tanker, the M/T Lexie, after its crew ignored warnings while attempting to reach Iran’s Kharg Island.

CENTCOM says it has now disabled six commercial vessels and redirected 122 since imposing a naval blockade of Iranian ports on April 13.

The IRGC warned: “The time of ‘strike and run’ has passed,” adding that any further aggression “will be met with a seismic, decisive, and crushing response.”

'Andor' creator Tony Gilroy's Peabody Awards Acceptance Speech:

“We spent six years contemplating a fascist takeover of a galaxy far, far away. Six years thinking about what happens to ordinary beings when an authoritarian, insane, unchecked regime comes into the deal, and the show is really kind of what we learned"

“If you’re not willing to fight for the things that you love, your family, community, your culture, your planet, your truth, freedom, there’s an asshole ready to come in and take it away. We learned that bravery and sacrifice and resistance comes in all shapes and sizes, and we learned that courage is contagious"

“There’s so much is happening, it’s a fire hose of crap that you just can’t get through. And here we are. There isn’t a new cycle that goes by right now that doesn’t contain a variety of outrages that in any other time in our history in America wouldn’t be grounds for treason"

“Please do not stop. Please do not turn out the lights until we can kill this nightmare�� and fuck the Empire!”

Iran suspended talks with the US, oil prices spiked 8%. Netanyahu orders attacks on Beirut. Trump gets more bad news in court. Then Trump tries to run damage control on it all. Your midday update is here: https://t.co/unyJD5yAcc

the american govt would rather try to criminalize delivering aid to a country we’ve starved, than punish the epstein class.

Federal officials have subpoenaed Hasan Piker and CodePink's Medea Benjamin over aid mission to Cuba

The Treasury Department has targeted the pair as part of an investigation into whether activists violated U.S. sanctions in delivering medicine and medical equipment to Cuba

In the USA at least, once someone has been convicted of a crime, our Constitution says it’s now legal to enslave that person as part of their punishment. “except as a punishment for crime” - exact words.

So increasingly criminalizing homelessness = poverty-to-slavery pipeline.

@themeasuredtake @Mike_from_PA People don’t understand that Black Christianity has kept many facets of socialism alive and well under American capitalism, (but disguised). Many Black churches practice a very revolutionary version of Christianity that outright rejects the taint of Christian nationalism.

I always questioned where people thought the administration who campaigned on “climate change is a hoax” would end up? Even with the “brain fog” from covid, I never thought people would be so easily manipulated!
