Serge Zaka: Over the past ten years, the pace of warming has reached about 0.35°C per decade, compared to about 0.2°C per decade between 1970 and 2015. The corrected data show that an acceleration in climate warming is now detectable since 2015, with a statistical certainty greater than 98%.

So…we’re NOT invading to protect the Iranians who protested the regime, like Trump claimed?
Now we’re going to kill them all instead?
Oh eat shit bessent
An industry that allowed this in the first place and only pulled it down due to public outcry is an industry I would allow to work with minors, of course!

Trump’s Iran War is not going to be ending anytime soon. And calling for a country to surrender unconditionally means it is unarguably a war that requires a declaration of war.
All the polls on the U.S. war in Iran so far

If you ignore people who say they “don’t know” how they feel about the war, disapproval of Trump’s actions is already at 56%. That is higher than the resistance to Vietnam in 1971.
DoD won't say how much Operation Epic Fury might cost, but one bipartisan think tank is putting the price tag at some $891M a day for the first four days of the attack—or $3.7B total.

Killing people is entertainment to the sociopaths in the White House. Decency demands that we resist this.
there's a thing I like to call "load-bearing assumptions", that you don't notice until they're suddenly gone (e.g the air you breath has oxygen in it).

It implies that we are visitors in someone else’s country.
Even if it takes years, we have to bring EVERYONE who made this happen to justice. No moving on, no letting this go.
Revenge is good enough motivation for me personally, but the nobler and important reason is to ensure that anyone who thinks of doing this again knows they’ll rot in prison for it.
I got to be part of the podcast that goes with this investigation and honestly — everyone needs to hear it.
$1.3 billion in taxpayer money going to FAKE clinics with ZERO oversight. This series is just getting started.
In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.
Governing by extortion
Were corporate executives briefed in advance on U.S. operations in Iran like they were in Venezuela?

Americans pay more at the pump, all while Big Oil companies profit from war.

$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
Oooh Defend America just came out with a brand new tracker to show us, in real time, how much we're spending on the war in Iran, and what else that money could be spent on.
They come with receipts! Share this everywhere!
