The oppression of the entire Latino community of Los Angeles right now is difficult to convey.
Normally vibrant local retail areas of East LA and SELA look like ghost towns this week. People are afraid to leave their homes. Parents afraid to go to work.
It's US citizens too. Anyone with brown skin

While this is Israel's ultimate goal, it's notable that Netanyahu stated that the goal of the attack was "“to damage Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, its ballistic missile factories and military capabilities.”
It suggests the theory of victory may be regime destabilization.

Israel's goal is to destroy Iran's nuclear program. The argument for the JCPOA was always that this is not possible through military means, which at best can set it back.
Over the past 2.5 years Israel has demonstrated that many arguments about the limits of what force can accomplish were mistaken.

Sussan Ley has always looked for a political narrative - the only one which has remained consistent is she doesn’t truly believe in anything.

Sussan Ley the politician has shown she’ll offer up whatever helps her own survival. That’s one way to ensure she’s not holding it for long.

MP rips up bill, leads haka as NZ parliament erupts over Waitangi treaty bill – video
New Zealand’s parliament was halted after a controversial bill that proposes to radically alter the way the country’s treaty between Māori and the Crown is interpreted was tabled. A vote on the bill was suspended, when opposition parties and people in the public gallery joined in a haka led by Te Pāti Māori MP Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, who proceeded to rip up a copy of the bill. The Treaty Principles Bill was tabled by the libertarian Act party.
