Reason #1,000,000,000,000 why we should tax the rich.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

This is an official government account in a democracy.

This is what Orbanism looks like. The president bragging, via AI video, that he forced a comedian who mocked him off the air and ‘into the trash’.

[evan loves worf @esjesjesj]

Honestly pure dictator shit. A real democracy would immediately imprison him for even trying this

[Daniel McAdams @DanielLMcAdams]

This is what a holocaust looks like.

[Dr. Najat Abdul-Aziz @theafroaussie]

Believing they’d stop at Gaza is what got us here.
Remember that.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

I'm not sure how the same people who saw scenes of terror and killing on October 7th and immediately said 'terrorism' 'barbarism' are okay with this? It's terrorism pure and simple. There's zero justification for it.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

This statement changes nothing.

The President has threatened a genocide against the Iranian people, and is continuing to leverage that threat.

He has launched a massive war of enormous risk and of catastrophic consequence without reason, rationale, nor Congressional authorization - which is as clear a violation of the Constitution as any. Each day this goes on, the risk and criminality of these actions escalate for our nation and the world.

Moreover, this administration’s self enrichment, insider trading, and pure corruption off this chaos - from crypto currencies to predictive trading markets to bribe “settlements” - has placed the Trump administration’s pursuit of personal wealth squarely against the wellbeing of our nation and its people.

All of these incidents, and plenty more, have clearly driven our country past the threshold for impeachment or invocation of the 25th amendment.

We cannot risk the world nor the wellbeing of our nation any longer. None of these considerations should be partisan, but shared in good faith by Americans of all backgrounds who care for the safety and stability of the United States.

Whether by his Cabinet or Congress, the President must be removed from office. We are playing with the brink.

[Daractenus @Daractenus]

My problem with the “he wouldn’t actually do it” and “institutional checks would step in to stop him” arguments regarding any of Trump’s unhinged threats is that we are in this position precisely because, at every prior stage, he did do it and nobody stepped in to stop him.

[Roose @RuNoseP]

i do not care if Trump's comments result in nothing tonight. no one who even thinks of saying the phrase "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" should be allowed to operate an ice cream stand, nevermind the most powerful office on the planet

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

These are the ravings of a homicidal maniac and sociopath and you voted for him even once, let along three times, hang your heads in shame.

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

we are the bad guys btw. this is how we speak and behave. i dont believe the public wants this. but we have to seize back power from these monsters and hold them accountable so this never happens again.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

An extremist group in Washington, DC has claimed credit for the terrorist attack on the Iranian bridge, promising further attacks on civilian infrastructure if its demands aren't met

[UN News @UN_News_Centre]

Gaza: 96% of children say they feel death is imminent.

After more than two years of war & relentless violence, young Palestinians face a deepening mental health emergency. Girls are at particular risk, including a rise in child marriage, @UNFPA reports.

Things that have killed more Americans than Iran in the last fifty years:

- Powered Lawnmower Accidents (3200)
- Bee Stings (3900)
- Falling out of Bed (10,300)
- Mexico (around 4000 American murdered in Mexico)
- Sackler Family (500k)

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

After lying about it, the Trump Administration confirmed that they bombed a school in Iran—killing 175 people, mostly girls.

Trump should be impeached. Hegseth should be fired. And the Administration must be held accountable in international courts for their heinous war crimes.

[Justin Bonomo 🇵🇸 @JustinBonomo]

Insane framing.

He was anally gang-raped.

He was severely beaten and then anally gang-raped on camera. Both a knife and a taser were reportedly used.

There was a hole in his rectal wall. He got surgery for it.

Because he was anally gang-raped by the IDF (on camera).

He also had 7 broken ribs and other injuries as well.

After it happened, Israelis staged multiple large protests in the streets. Not because they believe these soldiers did anything wrong, but because they were infuriated that the soldiers were arrested for anally gang-raping a Palestinian on camera.

These protests weren’t just random people. They included multiple high ranking Knesset members (their Congress) who defended the anal gang/rapists.

They didn’t stop there. They went after the lawyer who leaked the video. She was publicly smeared, was forced to resign, and was arrested.

And now the anal gang-rapists who were caught on camera have had their charges dropped. They didn’t win in court. They weren’t somehow exonerated. The charges were completely and indefensibly dropped. The Jerusalem Post reports that there was sufficient evidence to take this to trial.

This is part of a larger pattern of torture and impunity. NYT and many other major outlets have extensively detailed the abuses at the Sde Teiman torture factory. NYT reported that Prisoners lose 30+ pounds, a nurse was anally raped by a metal rod, another man was raped by a dog, and another was anally raped by a fiery hit rod until he died. Yes, the NYT reported all of that. I’ll share sources in the replies. Torture and sexual assault are commonplace at Sde Teiman, and many prisoners die in the process.

The UN concluded that rape from IDF soldiers is so commonplace that it constitutes official “strategy of war”.

And of course these monsters virtually never face jail time. Because Israelis by and large don’t have any problem with any of it.

This is just what their society does.

They torture Palestinians.

[UN News @UN_News_Centre]

Nearly 700,000 people – including about 200,000 children – have been displaced in Lebanon in just 10 days of war in the Middle East, according to UNICEF.

Food and fuel prices are surging as the conflict spreads across the region.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

[Eric Lee @EricLeeAtty]

After speaking to the family, an update:

A 13-yr-old did try to kill herself in Dilley earlier this month. DHS said it wasn't a suicide attempt, but it was. Per mom, daughter slit her wrists due to conditions there. Yesterday ICE deported fam. to Columbia w/o sufficient meds.

[popular loner🚶🏼‍♀️🤷‍♀️ @milkyy_tweets]

Also I love how all that has come of this is a debate over what does and what doesn’t count as pedophilia, as if raping and murdering adult women wouldn’t also be absolutely horrific….? I knew everyone hated women but damn. (Also they were pedophiles)
