@jeremyscahill What if this news spreads far and reaches Trump himself? How would he react to it?

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

What does it say about you if you look at this infant and see a threat that must be eliminated?

And what does it say about the values of the countries that defend and enable these murders?

This is the 7-month-old Palestinian baby shot & killed by an Israeli soldier yesterday.

@createstreets Opponents would presumably point out hazards to life, limb and property... maybe "costs"... Have you addressed this topic squarely?

Apparently not. If you ever do it, t would be appreciated.

@abierkhatib Can you tell me the speaker's name? I've seen him talk before, but it was years ago.

I just found out that I'm blocked by an MD that last Oct I just asked of her views.

This is the n-th time to be met with intolerance when calm & 100% polite. Exceptional civility may carry a high risk of causing rage. Being exceptional is exactly what makes it *NOT beliveable*.

@arsalfeed @Housebots I'm a boomer.I get frustrated with my peers won't LOOK at subjects that make them "uncomfortable," then whine that someone should "fix this mess." Just be curious and courageous enough to LOOK, learn, ask questions, STOP trusting "authorities." Reclaim response-ability & power.

** Fake News ** ALERT

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: In a direct message to the Trump administration and the US Navy, China's Defense Minister Admiral Dong Jun says Chinese ships will continue transiting the Strait of Hormuz through agreements with Iran, and warns the US not to "meddle in our affairs."

Also from Dong's statement:

1. Says Chinese ships are currently "moving in and out of the waters of the Strait of Hormuz"

2. Confirms China has existing "trade and energy agreements with Iran" that China will "respect and honor"

3. Explicitly states: "Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz and it is open for us," recognizing Iranian sovereignty over transit

Moments ago, while strolling across the magical Imam Square in Isfahan, Iran, we heard several explosions in the distance (one of which is audible just after the 1-minute mark of this video).

Yet no one flinched. No one screamed. No one ran for cover.

Compare the calm response of Isfahan’s residents to the frenzied fear of Israeli colonists when missile sirens ring in their cities - and bear in mind that Israelis claim to have missile defence systems that are vastly superior to those of Iran.

Finally, note how many adult women are walking in public in Imam Square with no head covering.

They’re telling you a pack of lies about Iran.

🚨 DELETED VIDEO ALERT: This didn’t disappear by accident.

Rep. Thomas Massie says Trump called him on the House floor after he pushed to release the Epstein files.

Not once. Not twice.
Three times:

“I’m coming at you like you’ve never seen in your life.”

Let that sink in.

A sitting president allegedly threatening a member of Congress…for trying to release documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein.

Then the video gets wiped off the platform?

The question isn’t what Massie said.

The question is: why was it so dangerous it had to be erased?

Happening now in Tehran:

After a 9-hour drive from Tabriz to Tehran, we arrived in Tehran at 5:30 am this morning.

We are now walking with a great mass of people to the largest mosque in Iran, the Grand Mosalla of Tehran, for Eid Al Fether.
