“A DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credible—and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

On March 4, a U.S. sub torpedoed the IRIS Dena. Of 180 aboard, 87 died and 61 are missing; Sri Lanka rescued 32.
Sinking a ship that was someone's guest, that was following peacetime protocols, that couldn't fight back. Then leaving sailors to drown thousands of miles from home. That’s a war crime.
A spoiled 14 year old
If we survive this, I really hope parents take a long look at how they are teaching empathy to their children. It's so obvious that that is the missing ingredient in huge chunks of the population, amplified by social media algorithms and cultural rewards for reactions rather than thoughtfulness.
That settles it.
The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.
15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.
Didn’t this happen two or three days ago? I saw someone post about it. Looks like it’s just now being made public.
DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."
But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."
All of our living presidents who still have a sense of decency gathered to honor Rev. Jesse Jackson.
Respect recognizes respect.
The school full of elementary school kids were Iranians who thought they were going to live.
Well they either really suck at their jobs or they really hate RFK Jr.
Trump is desperate to get the stench of his failed Iran campaign off him. He’ll make a play for Cuba going back to the Venezuela playbook. People in Cuba should keep their heads on a swivel and expect the exact same fuckery as Venezuela.
Spot on, Ben!
Send me
In honor of Jesse Jackson
She should have predicted it in 2023 and had a hard conversation with Biden.
Maybe he’s going to use them for Cuba invasion to distract from Iran. I’m making that prediction now. Trumps modus operandi is to keep moving & fucking things up flooding the zone with his calamities. Plus he said it yesterday & he always thinks aloud like that. We get to hear his ideas as has them.
He wants a Venezuela. It’s all he’s talks about. So if he can send in delta force to kidnap an Ayatollah then he thinks that would reverse all the bad decisions to date. Problem is that’s risky, there’s no Ayatollah to kidnap, even if they did Iran would keep fighting, & Israel wants to fighting.
The dude starts WWIII a week ago and then has some bullshit round table about something that doesn’t exist. Then gets mad when reporters ask about a war that costs a billion dollars a day and has already taken six American lives.
“ICE agent Brian Palacios, who killed Keith Porter, a 43-year-old Black man, in an off-duty New Year’s Eve shooting, has been accused of making racist remarks about Black people and Latinos, court records show.” capitalandmain.com/agents-in-ic...
38 years ago today, March 6, 1988: #TheSimpsons short “Family Portrait” first aired on The Tracey Ullman Show on Fox. This was the first time Homer said "Why, you little..!" and chokes Bart.
A DOJ source says FBI agents found the woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her as a child to be credible:
"They would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying."
It’s just Taarof
The exact number isn’t important. The issue is how we prioritize the use of our resources and who benefits. Normal people living their lives in US, Iran, Israel are no better off but pay for this. Oil companies, defense companies, and dictators reap all the benefits. It’s trickle up economics.
The US-Israeli bombing campaign has divided Iranians at home and abroad - and across much of mainstream Western media, one side is being significantly amplified.
@meenakshirv.bsky.social reports on how wars get justified and legitimised through media.
Over 160 schoolgirls are dead. Anthropic and Palantir executives must immediately testify and tell the public whether their AI is responsible.
The reason we have “stupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.
MN Gov. Tim Walz: Former Secretary Noem should probably get used to spending more time in Minnesota because I have a pretty good feeling in the future she may be doing that because we have got to get accountability.
CNN was reporting about 850 million a day or something. So they are rounding up. The things we could pay for to help people such as healthcare and education versus this money to make oligarchs and capitalist feudal lords richer. Iran also squanders all their wealth on war versus helping its people.
He’s from the Senate club like Rubio and as evidenced by his cable news spots all week he’s as loyal to Trump as Noem. He’ll he just as bad but will silence the criticism from Republican senators because he’s one of them. Maybe from Democrats senators too. Just look at how they treat Rubio.
This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.
