Would you mind holding my interest for me for just a second? Thanks.

Israel publicly declared - again - that Gaza will be emptied of Palestinians.

Where are the front page headlines?

Where are the denunciations from Western politicians?

There's none - because it's not the "inflammatory" words of some activist opposed to genocide.

🏛🇮🇷 The Abbasi Hotel in Isfahan—one of the world's oldest hotels, originally built as a caravanserai.

Note: This mesmerizing "honeycomb" ceiling is called Muqarnas. An engineering marvel where math meets art, using light and shadow to symbolize infinity.

I understand it can be hard for readers halfway around the world to absorb headlines like this over & over. Fatigue for stories of faraway grief is natural.

But every one of these families is shattered, possibly beyond repair. Please do read what my colleagues are documenting.

Israel's behavior is not "out of US control," we just decline to control Israel's behavior

For people who say it couldn't be predicted that the Iran war would be this consequential for the global economy, watch this 2012 video of former National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski 👇

He predicts what did in fact happen: "[Iran] can hurt us a lot... Can you imagine what the consequences would be for us if [...] Iraq was massively destabilized, if Bahrain was set on fire, if the North-Eastern oil fields in Saudi Arabia were attacked... The consequences, the costs would be cumulative... The global economy would be affected so we're playing with fire here."

All of this happened.

Which goes to show that the US government has been acutely aware for decades of how globally destructive a war on Iran would be for all of us (including on America itself and on its Gulf allies): when Trump says that “nobody” expected Iran to retaliate by targeting US allies in the region (https://t.co/HJ25IRJLZm), it's a bold-faced lie.

So the real question is rather: if you know something will set the world on fire, and you do it anyway, and the consequences unfold exactly as predicted - at what point does the rest of the world stop looking at Washington as a fireman and start reckoning with the fact that they're dealing with an arsonist?

@rtjr Either the opening of PNC Park or 2005, the opener following Oliver Perez's 239 strikeouts.

Every workplace has a Strait of Hormuz. You and your coworkers just have to find it and shut it down.

@westerntc55 @appodlachia No, bc it's social insurance and not private insurance. It protects the society we share, not individuals.

You don't seem to care about mass suffering or death or what would happen to a functioning society when masses of people suffer and die from poverty.

One of the countries mentioned in this article has, in the past year, bombed 7 countries, kidnapped one country's leader, assassinated another, & is blockading a third as we speak.
Surprising it is not included among the list of so-called "rogue states."

@appodlachia I you make $185,000 or $40,000 you're paying SS tax all year.

If you make a million in one year devided in even weekly payments, you hit that cap 3 weeks ago and effectively don't pay SS taxes the rest of this year.

[Stephen Wertheim @stephenwertheim]

This war is unconstitutional, and it’s ridiculous that this one individual can sit there and threaten to bomb Iran’s power plants, a move that will cause Iran to retaliate in kind (or more) across the region. What happened to the rule of law? Congress? Courts? Democracy?
