#Iran In 1979 I spent a month in Iran - just before the Shah fell - traveling the breadth of the country. In those days, pre-Gaza Israel and Iran were friendly. You could fly from Tel Aviv to Tehran for $120. When the current regime falls, Iran, Israel and Saudi Arabia could be a powerful triad.

A federal judge has struck down key parts of Trump’s “election integrity” executive order, ruling the Constitution gives the president no authority over election administration. Elections belong to Congress and the states, not the White House.

Noting here that ICE is using the language of Intimate Partner Terrorism, specifically the coercive control language. It’s “don’t make me angry. You won’r like what you cause when I’m angry.“
It’s straight up the RVO (reverse victim & offender) part of DARVO. Textbook cycle of violence shit.

The MAGA regime is currently doubling down on its tactical stance of “we will kill women like dogs for merely displeasing us.”

Armed resistance is spreading across Iran as protests escalate. In Ahvaz, gunfire erupted in residential areas, with several civilians reportedly wounded. Security forces were blocked by flaming barricades set up by demonstrators. In Meheltat, protesters torched a police checkpoint and car.

Congratulations to the Venezuelan people on the removal of their Dictator.
Now look to US based Venezuelans being a Deportation Target Category and shipped back home.
Look forward to being shafted by Trump as he demands Tribute in the form of trade deals and annexation of their resources.

NPR thinks at least one of the coups the CIA backed was a success. i wonder which of the death squads was it: the one that murdered nuns or the one that wiped out farm workers or the one that killed all the union leaders, or was it the helicopter ride specialist Pinochet or maybe it was the one...
![Historian Nick Cullather wrote that by overthrowing Árbenz, the CIA ended up undermining its own initial goal of a stable Guatemalan government.[106] Historian Stephen Streeter stated that while the US achieved certain strategic goals by installing the "malleable" Castillo Armas as president, it did so at the cost of Guatemala's democratic institutions.[107] He further states that, although Castillo Armas probably would have committed the human rights violations that he did even without a US presence, the US State Department had certainly aided and abetted the process.[107] The rolling back of the progressive policies of the previous civilian governments resulted in a series of leftist insurgencies in the countryside beginning in 1960.[108] This triggered the Guatemalan Civil War between the US-backed military government of Guatemala and leftist insurgents, who often boasted a sizable following among the citizenry.[108] The conflict, which lasted between 1960 and 1996, resulted in the deaths of 200,000 civilians.[108][109] Though crimes against civilians were committed by both sides, 93 percent of such atrocities were committed by the US-backed military.[108][110][111][112] These violations included a genocidal scorched-earth campaign against the indigenous Maya population during the 1980s.[108] Historians have attributed the violence of the civil war to the 1954 coup, and the "anti-communist paranoia"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:scyozezymlbicok26tl3jxni/bafkreiaxs7tqhlbh4w5mc2xzmr6ecrxf5h6rpp2z3ounmqiphpgxj4vc4m@jpeg)

It very much is about people like yourself, happy to platform polite racists because they are polite about it.
A perfect example, would be someone like Reese-Mogg, a man who holds extreme opinions, akin to Tommy Robinson, and yet he’s repeatedly treated in the media as if his views are acceptable.

the thing is, “differing political views” used to be about what percentage to tax high earners and not whether brown people are humans
Everyone has a list of so-called "red flags" when they're dating. And for some, especially younger Americans, different political views is a relationship deal breaker.
Majority of Gen Z swipe left on dating people with opposite political views
