@SteveTheBookGuy Is there any precedent in Iranian modern history for this? No, b/c they are not idiots. If they were going to target anyone, why not Netanyahu and his bunch of psychopaths? That would be a lot more bang for the buck and easier to accomplish.
@iamNeare Hey, thank you for answering. But. UAE is within reach of Iran’s missiles and data centers were going to be next on the list of targets, if the hot war continued in earnest. UAE as a center of global capital is no more, for now. USA is still that girl for global money.

This rule is aimed at guaranteeing New Yorkers can cancel subscriptions as easily as they sign up — and stopping corporations from trapping customers.
This will save New Yorkers up to $162.5 million per year.
Haley Stevens is polling behind Mike Rogers.
Abdul El-Syed is polling ahead of him.
You’re right, America can’t afford to lose this seat to MAGA Republicans.
Gee I sure hope there isn't a third party involved in this conflict that loves assassinating presidents and really really really really really really REEEEEAAALLY wants to nuke Iran
Hasan, Emma, Ryan Grim, Kyle Kulinski and the rest of the podcast circuit "left" heaped endless praise on Mamdani & promoted him vigorously but can't bring themselves to support a socialist who has a record of accomplishments & is running against one of Israel's top supporters?
a liberal paper such as @TheStranger offers this ringing endorsement of @cmkshama at a time when explicitly socialist outlets & influencers aren’t even covering her making the ballot

“Burnham’s public relations push is designed to distract from the fact that Britain has, and remains, a vital cog in Israel’s war machine; whether in the F-35 programme, used by Israel to bombard Gaza, Iran and Lebanon, turning a blind eye to the 2,000+ Brits fighting in Gaza, drone component exports, or hosting Israelis who incite genocide – such as President Herzog", says @CAATuk

"Nirav Shah’s 2026 gubernatorial bid was backed by more than $630,000 in TV spending from the AIPAC-affiliated 314 Action Fund, as he declined to sign a pledge rejecting outside Super PAC spending."

KEY: all three witnesses are being detained apart, and their story is consistent. They say that there were agents along the side of the vehicle but none in front.
When you add the lack of evidence of damage to the front despite ICE's ramming claim, ICE's story is falling apart.
During a 60 day period the LAPD got 161 license plate reader hits for stolen cars that were NOT actually stolen.
That means 161 INNOCENT car occupants had guns pulled on them w/helicopter overhead, ordered to lay on ground, handcuffed, searched and detained for 20-45 mins.
A nonprofit built a free VPN that works without an email, password, or credit card.
It’s called RiseupVPN.
You just need to install it and tap connect.
Your internet provider now sees one encrypted tunnel to Riseup instead of every website you open. Sites see the VPN’s address instead of yours.
Riseup says it records the day someone connects, but not their IP address or DNS requests. It also blocks known third-party advertisers and behavior trackers at the network level.
The business model is the weird part.
There isn’t one.
RiseupVPN is funded entirely by donations. No paid tier waiting to unlock the useful features. No account database holding your email. No ad company paying to watch what you do.
The apps are built on Bitmask, an open-source VPN codebase designed for censored environments. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android.
A VPN is not an invisibility cloak. It cannot clean malware from your laptop or hide information you type into a website.
But RiseupVPN solves the basic problem cleanly.
It gives anyone an encrypted route to the internet without turning privacy into another monthly bill.
US Envoy Steve Witkoff called Gaza's entire population "Nazis" during a meeting at the height of the israeli genocide & their starvation campaign https://t.co/GGD0Wvmgxp
The director of the Center for Defending Freedoms, Helmi al-Araj, warned that the life of prominent Gaza Doctor Hussam Abu Safiya is in imminent danger following his exposure to severe beatings, isolation, and brutal physical torture in Israeli prisons. Al-Araj emphasized that the occupation is deliberately targeting and systematically abusing Dr. Abu Safiya, whose case continues to garner widespread public attention and mobilization.
Al-Araj further underscored that this abuse is not an isolated incident, stating that the lives of all male and female Palestinian detainees in occupation prisons remain in grave danger amid documented testimonies of widespread, systematic torture. In light of these critical violations, the center issued an urgent appeal to the international community and global human rights advocates to take immediate legal action by filing formal complaints before international courts to hold the occupation accountable for its actions against Dr. Abu Safiya and all detainees.

There's a reason AIPAC is propping up Haley Steven's campaign. They want Israel to be able to keep committing genocide in Gaza, pogroms in the West Bank and ethnic cleansing in Lebanon - and so does she.
