VIDEO | Israeli National Security Minister Ben Gvir, outside the Knesset chamber, celebrates the passing of the death penalty law for Palestinian detainees, describing it as historic and saying, “Soon we will count them one by one.”
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.
"Three FBI interviews that contain graphic sexual and physical assault allegations against Donald Trump were released...
"A DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credible – and that they would not have interviewed her 4X if they thought she was lying"
You know what? Fuck twitter. I joined in 2008 and saw the rise of TOpoli and had a successful parody account and had my own little gang of mutuals. It’s literally all gone. The musk takeover and algorithmic changes have murdered this app and mutilated the body beyond recognition
I'm a Canadian who has lived and worked in the U.S. for the last 12 years. The differences between our two cultures are often imperceptibly subtle, and then, suddenly, they're there.
I’ve unmasked a white nationalist fight club in my city of Montreal.
After weeks of research, with help from friends, I can reveal an Olympian as a member of the Frontenac Active Club — one who, unbeknownst to the owners, brought them to a local gym to train and take propaganda photos.
Here’s my investigation:
🇮🇷🇺🇸 The New York Times — not a Telegram channel, not a Russian state broadcaster, the New York Times — has published satellite imagery confirming what Iran said it was doing while Washington was busy telling you it wasn’t working. Every major US base across the Gulf. Systematically and methodically.
Bahrain, Fifth Fleet headquarters, the nerve centre of American naval power in the region. Al Udeid Qatar — already missing its $1.1 billion AN/TPY-2 radar. Camp Arifjan Kuwait. Ali Al Salem. Prince Sultan in Saudi Arabia. UAE facilities. SATCOM terminals destroyed. Radomes cracked open. Satellite dishes gone. Missile tracking infrastructure — the AN/TPY-2 radar systems that coordinate every Patriot and THAAD battery in theater — targeted with what the imagery confirms was not luck but architecture.
Iran didn’t just strike US bases. It mapped the communication and coordination layer that makes American missile defense function as a unified system and then it peeled it apart, base by base, across five countries simultaneously.
This is not retaliation but doctrine. Thirty years of studying exactly how the American military machine sees, communicates, and coordinates and then, when the moment came, going straight for the eyes. The interceptors are blind. The magazines are depleted. The Navy can’t guarantee escorts in the Strait. Raytheon is being summoned to emergency meetings. South Korea is sitting exposed. And the New York Times just put the satellite pictures on the front page.
Washington built the most expensive military architecture in human history. Iran just showed you the blueprint for how to dismantle it. This is not going according to plan.
NEW: The CIA has been working to arm Kurdish forces with the aim of fomenting a popular uprising in Iran, multiple people familiar with the plan told CNN.
Iranian Kurdish opposition forces are expected to take part in a ground operation in Western Iran in the coming days and they expect US and Israeli support, a senior Iranian Kurdish official told CNN.

In 2019, the State of New Mexico launched an investigation of Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch, then the Trump 1 Justice Department demanded the state stop and turn it over to the feds. The probe then fizzled. Awesome reporting from @ReisThebault https://t.co/CGQeZh3olo via @NYTimes
Netanyahu says Trump fulfilled his dreams: In bombing Iran, Israel now has the "assistance of the United States, my friend, US President Donald Trump, and the US military. This coalition of forces allows us to do what I have yearned to do for 40 years"
Border Patrol dump blind refugee 5 miles away from home—he was found dead on the street.
Officers dropped him off in front of a donut shop—didn't notify his lawyer or family he was even released.
When reported missing—local police said he was in ICE custody and stopped looking for him.
Nurul Amin Shah Alam is 56 years old, nearly blind, spoke no English, and dealt with serious medical conditions.
He was left to die alone—abandoned in the year's worst winter storm on the streets of Buffalo, New York.
