False flags.
Letβs think, who gains from having Saudi Arabia think that Iran hit their oil fields?

We & great partners win again!
H/t to my @democracydefendersfund.org colleagues plus AFSCME, AFGE, Emery Celli, Democracy Forward & more. Wow, just wow.
Like itβs a game with monopoly money.
We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.
For one, itβs illegal. At least monopolies used to be.
The reasons for USA attacking Iran seems to change daily.
Itβs no matter to Trump, Israel, or oligarchs in the Epstein files of who dies on either side. There is no humanity, nor ethics, they donβt even follow the Geneva convention, theyβre soulless/heartless greedy mβfrs.
Cruella de Ville.
If the people donβt want a dictator, tyrant, pedophile, felon, stealing their money.
Then they will find a way to vote.
I check my voting status monthly, as we closer to midterms, Iβll check more frequently.
Most relevant now.

And with that, she got to work on the last piece of music she would ever write. By the time she was conceiving the sound world and structure of the piece, she was in the middle of her pregnancy. A significant portion of the work, though, came after our son was born and after her diagnosis. As the chemo cycles began, a friend and mentor sent her a supportive email, and in it was a line musing that the dual challenges of cancer treatment and newborn care must be "beyond the beyond." "That's my title," Sarah said to me. "Don't you think?"
My friend wrote a piece for Esquire about the passing of his wife (an extremely talented composer) and the music she left behind. Itβs a beautiful meditation on grief and art and the way the two things inform each other; please read if youβre so inclined.

Wars are awful.
Itβs the people who pay the ultimate price, while those invested in war get richer.
Corporate broadcast coverage of climate change fell 35% in the last year, even as Trump systemically dismantled climate policy and billion-dollar disasters rose
The gradual deprioritization led NBC climate reporter Chase Cain to hit a breaking point, and he quit last week
Here's our interview:
NEW: Today marks 61 years since Bloody Sunday.
On this day, protestors in Alabama were brutally attacked by police. They marched anyway to secure something sacred: their voting rights.
But as we mark their sacrifice, SCOTUS threatens to squander it, Chika Okafor writes. https://bit.ly/4lfbwWA
President Trump says he's ruled out having Kurds join the Iran war. Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that Kurdish fighters in the region are willing to assist in efforts to topple the Iranian government, but their involvement would make the conflict more complicated.
When has he NOT insulted America?
From Iran to the Kennedy Center, the pattern is the same: contempt for rule of law
An illegal war abroad
A plan to demolish a national cultural institution Congress ordered protected
Where courts can actβweβre taking action
My Publisher's note covers this & more on @contrariannews.org - TN
The rule of law isnβt optional
Trump ignored Congress to launch an illegal war on Iran & now heβs ignoring Congress again to tear down the Kennedy Center
Weβve asked the court for emergency relief to stop the latter
I discuss on my Publisher's note on @contrariannews.org -TN
Distressing content warning:
A bodycam video seems to contradict the claims made by ICE regarding the fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez.
Homeland Security and ICE kept the murder of 23-year-old American citizen Ruben Ray Martinez on March 2025 a complete secret.
You know, we Never saw the emails, from the RNC that the Russians hacked into.
We did see the emails from the DNCβ¦.
I like this Ben Stiller fellow. When he made a movie in Wilmington, Ohio, he was nice to people. And look β he stands up for himself rather than allowing himself to be ritually humiliated.
Now comes the ritual humiliation of NFL players. Just a few people speaking out in defense of their own dignity would make a big difference here.
The Israeli military has said it has attacked Iran's national oil reserves in Tehran for the first time. A military spokesman said about 30 oil tanks were targeted. Videos and images showing massive flames were shared on social media. Another attack hit a fuel depot in northwest Tehran #Tehran
