#Mondoweiss | Israel started a war with Iran, but it doesn’t know how it ends

"And yet, behind this Israeli choreography of operational tenacity lies a quieter, more subterranean logic. It is not only Iran that Israel seeks to provoke, but the United States. If Israel cannot destroy Natanz or Fordow on its own, it may still succeed in creating the conditions under which Washington feels compelled to act in its stead. This, perhaps, is the real gambit: not a direct confrontation with Iran, but the orchestration of an environment of urgency and provocation that makes American intervention — at a minimum — on the table. In other words, Israel’s military theatrics are a trap for the U.S."

Israel started a war with Iran, but it doesn’t know how it ends

Israel’s attack on Iran began as a campaign against its nuclear program but has already begun to morph into something far riskier: regime change. It is staking its strategy on deep US involvement, but fault lines between the two are already visible.

The Israel:

"There is a cruel irony at play. A state that has institutionalized the destruction of homes, memories, and lives in Gaza now cries foul. It flagrantly violates every norm — legal, moral, humanitarian — only to invoke those same norms when violence reaches its own doorstep. Overnight, the architecture of impunity that it has constructed becomes the basis for grievance."

Iran Unleashes Massive Bombing Campaign on Zionist Regime, Palestine and Yemen Attack


For the second day, air raid sirens sounded across the occupied Palestinian territories on Saturday evening following missile launches from Iran, as the Zionist Home Front Command instructed settlers to remain in shelters.

The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps announced that their Aerospace forces launched a new complex operation, involving both drones and missiles.

The IRGC’s Aerospace forces used Imad, Badr, and Khaybar missiles and drones in its latest attacks on Tel Aviv and Haifa, launching a wave of attacks as part of Operation True Promise 3.

Zionist media confirmed that the Iranian missiles targeted facilities in Haifa, in the north of occupied Palestine, where loud explosions were heard across the city after several rockets struck. Fires reportedly broke out across different facilities in Haifa, including oil refineries.

The sound of air raid sirens was concentrated in Haifa and its surrounding areas, with alarms activated in the Karyot region north of the city as well as in its southern districts, while sirens also blared in al-Nasira and nearby areas, including Afula, Upper al-Jalil, and Western al-Jalil.T

The new wave of ballistic missiles was launched toward the occupation entity from multiple provinces across Iran.

Iranian state television reported that Iran had launched 100 missiles toward the occupation entity, adding that Iran’s air force was carrying out a combined attack using both ballistic missiles and drones.”

Reports claim that this is the largest Iranian missile attack targeting the occupied territories, emphasizing that information suggests that Tehran is using a new type of missile in its operation.

A massive Iranian drone and missile offensive also struck deep into occupied Palestine, with air raid sirens sounding repeatedly across various cities and settlements amid fears of continued infiltration by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as Iran continued its retaliation as part of Operation True Promise 3.

Multiple Iranian projectiles scored direct hits on central Tel Aviv, resulting in significant destruction, injuries, and widespread panic.

Zionist media reported that at least six sites in “Tel Aviv” were struck directly by Iranian missiles, including a high-rise tower in the greater Tel Aviv area, causing extensive damage and fires. In Bat Yam, an occupied city just south of Tel Aviv, heavy destruction was reported following direct impacts from Iranian missiles, with dozens of buildings damaged and flames engulfing several structures.

Meanwhile, emergency services have updated the casualty toll from the strikes on Bat Yam and Rehovot. In Bat Yam, 130+ people were injured and 7 killed at the time of this writing. Over 35 people were reported as being stuck under the rubble. In Rehovot, 28 were injured, including two seriously and seven moderately.

The Magen David Adom reported a severe shortage of blood units, calling for urgent blood donations among settlers in the wake of the Iranian strikes.

The Zionist emergency services reported that firefighting teams were operating in Gush Dan in central occupied Palestine as well as occupied al-Quds in a bid to extinguish the fires started by the Iranian missiles.

According to Zionist media, sirens were sounded in Bisan four times in just a few hours, following alerts of potential drone incursions. Simultaneously, residents in the Afula area south of Lake Tabarayya reported hearing explosions after Zionist warplanes scrambled to intercept drones approaching from the east.

Iranian drones swarm the occupation


One Iranian drone reportedly crashed near Afula, while additional UAVs were detected flying across occupied northern and central areas. Zionist media confirmed that sirens were also triggered in settlements south of Lake Tabarayya, as well as in Asdod, Beit Yam, and Rehovot, amid fears of further drone and missile attacks.

Explosions were heard between Netanya and Tel Aviv, with massive blasts reportedly shaking the heart of Tel Aviv itself. Reports indicate direct hits on residential buildings, with Iranian missiles striking Bat Yam and igniting fires, as well as Rehovot in central occupied Palestine.

In what Zionist commentators described as a “composite attack,” Iran deployed both ballistic missiles and kamikaze drones in synchronized waves, severely testing the occupation’s air defenses and crisis response systems and essentially spreading them thin.

At the same time, air raid sirens have been sounding almost continuously in various settlements and cities, as Iranian drones remain active in the airspace of several areas in the occupied territories. According to one Zionist media platform, “Yemen appears to be participating in the assault.”

It seems clear Yemen was firing drones and ballistic missiles in tandem.

Iran missile barrage sets fire to Weizmann Institute lab


The Weizmann Institute of Science, one of the occupation’s leading research centers, sustained damage during Iran’s missile barrage targeting central Palestine, according to The New York Times. Images shared with the paper show at least one laboratory building engulfed in flames.

Zionist media also reported that a building housing laboratories for the institute had caught on fire, leaving people stuck in the building.

Iran’s Fars News Agency has disclosed the type of missiles used in the latest round of retaliatory strikes launched by the Islamic Republic against the occupation, confirming that the projectiles were equipped with high-explosive warheads designed for precision targeting.

According to the report published Sunday, the IRGC employed tactical guided ballistic missiles in the recent attack on Tel Aviv. The missiles were identified as belonging to the Hajj Qassem class, named after the martyred commander Hajj Qassem Soleimani. These missiles are solid-fueled and highly maneuverable, making them difficult to intercept and ideal for striking specific military and strategic targets.

Fars emphasized that the warheads carried by the Hajj Qassem missiles were specially designed high-explosive payloads, used to maximize the destructive effect on carefully selected targets deep within occupied territories.

Palestinian Resistance continues attacks


The military wing of Hamas, al-Qassam Brigades, released new combat footage documenting targeted operations as part of its ongoing campaign titled David’s Stones, including a direct strike on a Merkava tank in southern Khan Younis.

According to the footage, fighters used a Yassin-105 anti-tank shell to target the tank near Abu Sharakh junction, amid continued confrontations with occupation forces along various axes of incursion. The video also showed mortar attacks on Zionist troop concentrations in multiple areas of Gaza.

In a separate operation documented by al-Qassam, fighters reportedly destroyed a bulldozer, a Bagger, using a powerful improvised explosive device (IED) in the Tel al-Zaatar area, east of Jabalia refugee camp, on May 29. The group said the blast killed the vehicle’s operator, confirming the outcome after the fighters returned safely from the combat zone.

Occupation comes under deadly ambush


Al-Qassam also revealed footage of a complex ambush carried out in al-Atatra, Beit Lahia, in northern Gaza. The operation targeted a unit barricaded inside a house, striking the site with a TBG shell, reportedly causing casualties among the Israeli force.

In the same engagement, Resistance fighters also hit another Merkava tank with a Yassin-105 and detonated an IED under a D9 bulldozer, destroying its turret and injuring its crew.

Separately, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, al-Quds Brigades, published footage of their own operation north of Khan Younis, where a military vehicle was blown up using an IED assembled from repurposed remnants of Israeli weaponry.

Al-Quds Brigades also confirmed they had detonated a minefield targeting a Zionist sapper unit east of Khan Younis on Thursday, adding to the growing number of tactical strikes against advancing occupation forces.

One Zionist soldier was killed and another was wounded in clashes with the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza on Saturday, according to Israeli media.

Occupation media reported on Saturday that an occupation soldier was killed and another critically wounded during clashes in Gaza, describing it as a “serious security incident,” as battles continue across the Strip.

This comes as Palestinian Resistance fighters continue their operations across Gaza, launching ambushes and inflicting casualties upon occupation troops.

Days earlier, the occupation army admitted that four soldiers were wounded in two separate incidents during clashes in Khan Younis, southern Gaza.

Researchers from the University of Cambridge and University College London developed a new type of responsive synthetic skin for robots.

The skin is made from a single hydrogel that can detect touch, pressure, heat, and cold.

The hydrogel-based hand was tested on a robot, allowing it to more accurately "feel" the world around it.

Lyrics:
Cover my ears and close my eyes
Just long enough to stop the noise
Go and take everything and throw it away
But I will use my voice

Drown every truth in an ocean of lies
Label me bitch because I dare to draw my own line
Burn every bridge and build a wall in my way
But I will use my voice

Whether you like it or not, you're gonna take what I got
If we can't talk about it, we'll just keep drowning in it
Give me credit or not
I give a lot, give a lot
But don't you speak for me
No, don't you speak for me

Nevermind me, I'm a waste of your time
I'm never gonna fit in the box that you need
And I can read between the lines, yeah
Gather your friends and wave your gun in my face
But I will use my voice

Whether you like it or not, you're gonna take what I got
If we can't talk about it, we'll just keep drowning in it
Give me credit or not
I give a lot, give a lot
But don't you speak for me
No, don't you speak for me

Whether you like it or not
Whether you like it or not
Whether you like it or not
Whether you like it or not
One day soon it's gonna fall back on you
No more lies, we're gonna break right through
Like it or not

If we can't talk about it, we'll just keep drowning in it
Give me credit or not
I give a lot, give a lot
But don't you speak for me

No, don't you speak for me
Whether you like it or not
Don't you speak for me!

Lyrics:
WASTED ON YOU
I don’t need drugs
I’m already six feet low
Wasted on you
Waiting for a miracle
I can’t move on
Feels like we’re frozen in time
I’m wasted on you
Just pass me the bitter truth

Love, don’t you remember
we were the ones
nothing could ever change and love
It’s easier not to believe we have broken everything
but here we are
Numb my head till I can’t think anymore
But I still feel the pain

I don’t need drugs
I’m already six feet low
Wasted on you
Waiting for a miracle
I can’t move on
Feels like we’re frozen in time
I’m wasted on you
Just pass me the bitter truth

Once this was a garden
This was our world
All of the nightmares stayed in the dark
A little too much time by yourself and you become the enemy
Just look at us now
Drowning slowly just to stay true

I don’t need drugs
I’m already six feet low
Wasted on you
Waiting for a miracle
I can’t move on
I feel like we’re frozen in time
I’m wasted on you
Just pass me the bitter truth

Will I ever be the same
Am I strong enough to change
is it in my blood
Shield my eyes to face the day
Come too far to slip away
But it’s killing me to go on without you

I don’t need drugs
Im wasted on you
Waiting for a miracle
I can’t move on
like we’re frozen in time
I’m wasted on you
Just pass me the bitter truth

I don't know your heart
I don't know where to begin
But I could feel you erasing the rivers I'd drawn in
The more I stood still
The faster you were running
You don't know how it feels crawling under your skin
So far, so far away
Don't you know we could be

High or low
You never fell beneath me
And I gave up on you, but I never forgot you

I can't be your friend
Hold your hand while you bleed

There's nothing left to give you
Nothing more I need
Time to let it sleep
Oh, the damage was real
But nothing cut me so deep I could not heal

Don't you know we could be
High or low
You never fell beneath me
And I gave up on you, but I never forgot you

High or low
You never fell beneath me
And I gave up on you
But I never forgot

Evanescence - The Game Is Over (Official Music Video)

"The Game Is Over"
Had enough I’ve really
had enough
Had enough of denial
I’m not alright but I’m not gonna lie I don’t know that I ever was

all alone I’ve waited
all alone
Held it in as I played by your rules I’ve been biting my lip but I’m losing my grip
I’m coming down down down

When all the hate burns off I’m left here with the pain
Behind our vain devices are we all the same

Change me into something I believe in
Change me so I don’t have to pretend

Take a breath and try to play along but
I’m a terrible liar
I feel the world like a brick on my chest
and the party’s just begun

Throw the rope I’m wading
Through the mud
From your mouth flow a thousand truths
But you know there’s only one

When all the hate burns off I’m left here with the pain

Change me into something I believe in
Change me so I don’t have to pretend
Sweet words they mean nothing they’re not true
cause the game is over

I want it all or I want nothing at all
maybe I can change me into something I believe in
Change me so I don’t have to pretend
Your sweet words they mean nothing save your breath
The game is over

Evanescence - My Immortal (Official HD Music Video)

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

You used to captivate me by your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

Me, me

Going to make a blanket set of clarifications here for people who are new followers or who are unaware that I've been on a long term crusade about this issue. When I say "missile defense is fake" I don't mean that in the literal sense. What I mean is that there's been a 40 year campaign by governments, defense contractors, and military officials to deceive the public about how effective ballistic missile defense systems are, specifically.

This campaign goes back to the introduction of the Patriot, with George H.W. Bush giving a speech at a Raytheon (not kidding) factory where he claimed the Patriot had intercepted ~98% of Iraqi Scuds in the Gulf War. This was an extension of Cold War missile defense propaganda campaigns, like Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative (Star Wars). We now have solid evidence that the Patriot probably failed to intercept any Iraqi Scuds.

What the Patriot had actually done was intercept booster sections and bits of debris from Saddam's Scuds when they broke apart in the air (these were the famously old and unreliable "wobbly scuds"). These failures cost the coalition forces dearly when a Scud hit a US barracks in Saudi Arabia, killing 28 American soldiers and injuring over 100.

What we see now, over the skies of Israel, is similar, but on a much larger scale. One of the great advantages missile defense propagandists have is that they've been able to pass off every explosion in the sky as a supposed interception. Most people aren't aware that a modern ballistic missile attack will include decoys, countermeasures, and dummy missiles, and many interceptors are programmed to self destruct if they miss their target. As a result, what can look like a sky full of successful interceptions is really dozens of misses, or decoys doing their job.

The Saudis and Ukrainians have done their absolute best to play along. Long before the Ukrainians claimed 100% interception rates for hypersonic missiles, the Saudis were telling the world that the Patriots we forced them to buy had successfully shot down 100% of Yemeni drones and missiles in attacks during the Yemeni Civil War. Booster sections of missiles which automatically detach before impact were trotted out as proof. Again, the Patriot's stats were padded as intercepted boosters were claimed as intercepted warheads.

Interestingly, the only US "ally" not to play along was Israel. Having nothing to fear from criticizing their vassal state, they openly derided the Patriot after its poor showing in the Gulf War, directly contradicted Raytheon and HW's narrative, and only acquired them as a stopgap while they worked to replace them with domestically produced systems. They've now completed this process, but it's clear that they haven't been as successful at fielding a superior system as they expected to be. Their situation is desperate enough that they're now trying to recall the Patriots they threw in the trash by donating to Ukraine.

So when I talk about "air defense bros," I'm talking about people who bought into the narrative that ballistic missile defense systems can achieve high kill rates. The strategic picture changes massively if you drop from a 99% kill rate to a 90%, or even, God forbid, 50%, or even lower (likely where we are now). It means that you cannot guarantee that your military personnel, cargo ships, infrastructure, etc are anywhere close to safe.

Air defense systems are useful. They are extremely effective at shooting down aircraft and decent at shooting down cruise missiles. But even older ballistic missiles are a major challenge, and the newer classes of maneuvering, countermeasure dropping, even low-hypersonic missiles fielded by Russia, Iran, or China are likely all but impossible to shoot down.

Evanescence - My Heart Is Broken

"My Heart Is Broken" by Evanescence is a deeply emotional ballad that explores themes of heartache and longing. Featured on their self-titled album "Evanescence," this track showcases Amy Lee's powerful vocals and the band's signature blend of rock and orchestral elements. Released in 2011, it resonates with listeners who have experienced the pain of lost love.

Lyrics:
I will wander 'til the end of time, torn away from you

I pulled away to face the pain
I close my eyes and drift away
Over the fear
That I will never find a way to heal my soul
And I will wander 'til the end of time
Torn away from you

My heart is broken
Sweet sleep, my dark angel
Deliver us from sorrow's hold
Over my heart

I can't go on living this way
I can't go back the way I came
Chained to this fear
That I will never find a way to heal my soul
And I will wander 'til the end of the time
Half alive without you

My heart is broken
Sweet sleep, my dark angel
Deliver us

Change
Open your eyes to the light
I denied it all so long, oh so long
Say goodbye, goodbye

My heart is broken
Release me, I can't hold on
Deliver us

My heart is broken
Sweet sleep, my dark angel
Deliver us

My heart is broken
Sweet sleep, my dark angel
Deliver us from sorrow's hold

Because it's not about what actually factually is true...it's about what you BELIEVE to be true...very important distinction, because it's two very different perceived realities, one built from Beliefs, the other built from facts and tangible evidence.

Deja Vue, right..."They" have a history.

It's always a show, either for your programming...or, your entertainment. You're better off to question everything.

Enjoy the show...🍿

"The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) was “community noted” on X after apparently presenting eight-month-old footage of bombs raining down on Tel Aviv as new footage of Friday night’s attack.

This comes after Iran reportedly attacked Israel in response to the Jewish state launching a preemptive aerial campaign against Iran’s nuclear program.

Iran issued a response to Israel’s attack on Friday night.

Israel released a video on Friday, supposedly showing the missile barrage they faced, but part of the video appears to be from an October 2024 attack.

“Israel is under attack,” the text read on the footage from almost one year ago. There’s no denying that Israel is facing attacks in response to theirs, but why the need to share a fake video?

Video released by Israel on Friday, June 13, 2025:"

Who exactly shows up to demonstrations like the No Kings?
Those who do not contribute.
The lost.
The angry.
The immature child grown old.
The petulant.
Those starved for attention they feel they deserve.
The pitiful and arrogant.
Balancing the two finely.
The sad.
The lost.
Their contribution?
Division.
Turmoil.
Upheaval.
That is what they live for.
That is what makes them feel alive.
The lost are not the future.
Even though.
They arrogantly disagree.
Reality is a bitter pill.
So be it.

Better Without You Lyrics:
Stand in the front but shut up till I tell you to go
Don’t get caught up in pretend cause you’re not in control
Cause this is my world, little girl you’d be lost on your own
Just hating and waiting and saving up

I’ll do you a favor and save you if you sign on the line
Don’t worry your pretty little head about the future its all fine
Whether you’re wrong or you’re right
doesn’t matter you’re not up to the fight
Keeping my head down cause they don’t know what I know now

As empires fall to pieces
Our ashes twisting in the air
It makes me smile to know that
I’m better without you

Now look around and remember your friends if you can
Feeding the flames till there’s no one to blame its on your hands
Lost in your lies pay the price with our lives you’ve gone mad
and there’s no way out cause we all know you’re hollow

As empires fall to pieces
Our ashes twisting in the air
It makes me smile to know that
I’m better without you

Not enough, not enough, not enough to throw it all away we’d still be falling, we’re fallen
Turn it up, turn it up, never gonna shut me up again your time is over
It’s over now

As empires fall to pieces
Our ashes twisting in the air
It makes me smile to know that
I’m better without you

Evanescence - Better Without You (Official Lyric Video)

Stand in the front but shut up 'til I tell you to go
Don't get caught up in pretend 'cause you're not in control
'Cause this is my world, little girl, you'd be lost on your own
Just hating and waiting and saving up

I'll do you a favor and save you if you sign on the line
Don't worry your pretty little head about the future, it's all fine
Whether you're wrong or you're right
Doesn't matter, you're not up to the fight
Keeping my head down
'Cause they don't know what I know now

As empires fall to pieces
Our ashes twisting in the air
It makes me smile to know that
I'm better without you

Now look around and remember your friends if you can
Feeding the flames 'til there's no one to blame, it's on your hands
Lost in your lies, pay the price with our lives, you've gone mad
And there's no way out
'Cause we all know you're hollow

As empires fall to pieces
Our ashes twisting in the air
It makes me smile to know that
I'm better without you

Not enough, not enough
Not enough to throw it all away
We'd still be falling
We're fallen
Turn it up, turn it up
Never gonna shut me up again
Your time is over
It's over now

As empires fall to pieces
Our ashes twisting in the air
It makes me smile to know that
I'm, I'm better without you

Featured on their album "The Bitter Truth," this song captures themes of defiance and empowerment. The official music video adds a dynamic visual experience, enhancing the song's fierce attitude. Released in 2021, it highlights Evanescence's continued relevance in the rock scene.

Lyrics:
I'm the widow
On the tip tippy-toppy of the highest high of low
And I'm the shadow
Of the first little flower on the brightest patch of snow

Happiness can be hard to find
I'm so slapped silly happy
Everybody wants to take mine

Yeah, right
That sounds nice
Everything we ever wanted and more
Someday we'll get paid
More than it was worth to sell our souls
Yeah, right

Yeah, I'm a rock star
I'm the queen resurrected, just as messed up as before
Twist the knife hard
Just to make it easier to tell you I don't need you anymore

Life's a game 'til you lose, then what?
I'm reaching a new level
Of not giving a fuck

Yeah, right
That sounds nice
Everything we ever wanted and more
Someday we'll get paid
More than it was worth to sell our souls
Tell me, how is the real world treating you?
Is that my fault too?
My one mistake was giving more and more and more

More and more and more

Yeah, right
Baby, that sounds nice (that sounds nice)
Everything we ever wanted and more
Someday we'll get paid
More than it was worth to sell our souls, sell our souls

Yeah, right
That sounds nice
More than it was worth to sell our souls

Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Get Over You

"Get Over You" by Sophie Ellis-Bextor is an infectious dance-pop track that showcases her distinctive voice and catchy melodies. This song, from her debut album "Read My Lips," combines upbeat rhythms with relatable lyrics about moving on from heartbreak. Released in 2001, it remains a staple in the early 2000s pop scene.

Lyrics:
Eye-eye-eye-ah
Eye-eye-eye-ah
Eye-eye-eye-ah
Eye-eye-eye-ah

Eye-eye-eye-ah
Eye-eye-eye-ah
Eye-eye-eye-ah
Eye-eye-eye-ah

You think you've got your way
But baby there's a catch
Don't need your foul play
Now you have met your match

You think you're in control
But that won't last that long
You thought you wore the crown
Honey, you were wrong

You had me taken in
But now I've found you out
And I won't go through that again

You've always had to win
You'll have to go without
You don't know where to stop

Go, go, go, go, go
I'll get over you
You drive me crazy, up the wall
Think you're Mr Know-it-all

Go, go, go, go, go
I'll get over you
You drive me crazy, up the wall
Goodbye Mr Know-it-all

Eye-eye-eye-ah
Eye-eye-eye-ah
Eye-eye-eye-ah
Eye-eye-eye-ah

I let you have your say
You never compromised
Complaining everyday
About everything in sight

I've let you stay a while
Now I am getting bored
No substance in your style
And you're not the man you thought
That you were

You had me taken in
But now I've found you out
And I won't go through that again

You've always had to win
You'll have to go without
You don't know where to stop
Oh get over you

Go, go, go, go, go
I'll get over you
You drive me crazy, up the wall
Think you're Mr Know-it-all

Go, go, go, go, go
I'll get over you
You drive me crazy, up the wall
Goodbye Mr Know-it-all

Eye-eye-eye-ah
Eye-eye-eye-ah
Eye-eye-eye-ah
Eye-eye-eye-ah

You think you've got your way
But baby there's a catch
Don't need your foul play
Now you have met your match

Go, go, go, go, go
I'll get over you
You drive me crazy, up the wall
Think you're Mr Know-it-all

Go, go, go, go, go
I'll get over you
You drive me crazy, up the wall
Goodbye Mr Know-it-all (I'll get over you)

Eye-eye-eye-ah
Eye-eye-eye-ah (I'll get over you)
Eye-eye-eye-ah
Eye-eye-eye-ah (I'll get over you)

Eye-eye-eye-ah
Eye-eye-eye-ah (I'll get over you)
Eye-eye-eye-ah
Eye-eye-eye-ah

I am SO impressed by how today's #NoKings demonstration in #MadisonWI was organized. There was puppetry, fun things for kids of all ages, and brief big-tent speeches about the importance of standing up to authoritarianism.
I heard someone on west bound #BRT A bus saying this is like a west side reunion on this bus. It feels like half of my neighbors are on this bus. 🥰
