@Historian_Steve Loved Pat, learned a ton from her, not just about history (per se), but just teaching and coming up with assignments more generally. Haven’t used her text since grad school, use Am Yawp just because it’s free and the students won’t read the fucking thing anyway 🤷‍♂️

I don't think people understand the gravity of the situation as the UN is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in Iran.

This is a picture of Tehran. For you uneducated, untraveled, never-served, warhawks licking your chops at the thought of bombing it. It's not some low population desert. There are families, children, family pets. Regular working class people with dreams. You're sick to want war.

Tehran is a city of nearly 10,000,000 people. Imagine nuking Washington, Berlin, Paris, London, or beyond, bombed with nuclear weapons.

I gave up my diplomatic career to leak this information. I suspended my duties so as not to be part of or a witness to this crime against humanity, in an attempt to prevent a nuclear winter before it is too late.

Yesterday, nearly ten million people protested “No Kings” in the United States. The possibility of the use of nuclear weapons must be taken very seriously. It's dangerous. Act now. Spread this message worldwide. Take the streets. Protest for our humanity and future. Only the people can stop it. History will remember us.

[Henry Maar @HMaar]

@AntiwarNews Saw a lot of posts from well-meaning liberal friends about No Kings today. I made some memes about it—they didn’t go over too well with that crowd unfortunately, but you all might appreciate some of them!

Analysis: The Post found that documents recounting President Ronald Reagan’s relations with the Soviet Union in the early 1980s, one of the most dangerous periods of the Cold War, have been removed.

The State Department had deleted history. https://t.co/He7uuXasVB

Just over an hour after 3 Supreme Court justices warned that Alabamian Anthony Boyd would suffer psychological torture, he was subjected to the longest nitrogen gas execution in US history, gasping for air more than 225 times. Read my eyewitness account: https://t.co/56eTbGtrCY

This story is WILD. Trump sent Seal Team 6 into North Korea to plant a listening device. The operation went sideways within minutes, when a fishing boat was unexpectedly at the landing site. Seal Team 6 killed everyone on board, sunk the bodies, and fled. Congress was never told.

A journalist for 24 years, this is probably the most important article I've ever published. We saw the famine in Gaza with our own eyes. Together with Yarden Michaeli.

Nuclear Times—the voice of the 1980’s peace and antinuclear movement—is back. I wrote a short piece for it, talking about its history and relevancy both for peace activists and policymakers, as well as its usefulness for Cold War historians.

@patrick_mooney Literally the Dems, every time

[Dr. Jeffrey Lewis @ArmsControlWonk]

Think of treaties as like vaccines -- more effective than quack cures and also deeply unpopular among the stupidest people on earth.

[Senator Tim Kaine @SenTimKaine]

Trump’s war on Iran is about regime change. There was no nuclear emergency. The U.S. led regime change in Iran in 1953, Afghanistan in 2001, Iraq in 2002. All created regional havoc and cost U.S. lives. No more U.S. wars in Middle East!

[Henry Maar @HMaar]

@patrick_mooney The Dems only object to the bombing because they didn’t get the chance to also make a few statements about how war is the “last resort” and how Iran also can’t have a nuclear weapon, before they go on to rubber stamp whatever Trump’s imperialist goals are.
