Israel Attacks Iran


“Tonight, Israel took unilateral action against Iran. We are not involved in strikes against Iran and our top priority is protecting American forces in the region. Israel advised us that they believe this action was necessary for its self-defense. President Trump and the Administration have taken all necessary steps to protect our forces and remain in close contact with our regional partners. Let me be clear: Iran should not target U.S. interests or personnel.”

– Marco Rubio, US Secretary of State


Since #HalTurner was spot-on about this one, I’ll quote him on the breaking news.


  • Multiple reports from several countries are saying “hundreds” of fighter jets and drones are in the air over differing parts of Iraq, heading into Iran to attack – right now: 8:13 PM EDT 12-June-2025
  • Massive explosions reported all over #Tehran. Israel may be going for a #leadership #decapitation strike.
  • #Netanyahu’s motorcade has entered the #Mossad command bunker.
  • Israeli army radio (GLZ) confirms #IAF strikes targeting Iran
  • Initial reports of explosions at #Natanz and #Fordow in Iran. These are the main nuclear facilities.
  • Doron Kaddish (IDF Radio): Senior officials tell me that Israel is preparing for multiple days of combat with Iran.
  • Operation Name: Nation of Lions


However, #LarryJohnson reported prior to the attack that the #US would be directly #involved in it.


#DonaldTrump apparently has decided to attack Iran. Mark this date. It is the beginning of the end of the Trump Presidency. Trump has been persuaded that the Iranian air defense is weak and that a US bombing run will eliminate any chance that Iran can build a nuclear device. He has been a victim of lies. He will shortly discover, if these attacks take place, that Iran retains a significant capability to shoot down US aircraft. In fact, I fully expect Iran will capture and put on display several US air force officers in the next week.


#Simplicius is dubious that Israel or the USA can even reach the #nuclear #sites that #Israel is seeking to destroy: In short, Iran’s underground nuclear infrastructure is now too deep, too complex, and too protected to be taken out militarily.

My take is that Israel is going it alone with the expectation that if #Iran hammers them hard enough and looks like it is winning, #AIPAC will be able to exert enough #pressure on #PresidentTrump to force the #US #military to #intervene and rescue them from the consequences of their own actions.

We should not/cannot scroll past today's news of Israel's latest unprovoked aggressions towards other nations (i.e bombings of residential areas in Iran and Lebanon), along with images of Israel's increasingly horrific attacks on civilians in Gaza and the West Bank.

Witnessing unending waves of crimes against humanity that apartheid Israel is committing deserves a "fuck Israel' at the very least. I know that won't stop this murderous state, but each voice adds to the growing wave of opposition/resistance.

Fuck Israel. Fuck apartheid. Fuck genocide. Fuck unprovoked attacks on sovereign nations. Fuck baby killers. Fuck forced starvation. Fuck state torture. Fuck ethnic cleansing. Fuck settler-colonialism. Fuck racism. Fuck the IOF - past and present. Fuck Israel and their allies.

The various meetings, forums, conferences on the fediverse are wilfully and REPEATEDLY ignoring any requests to discuss the issue of biased admins who shut down anti-genocide voices.

We see you.

More importantly - History sees you.

Wie viele Lügen über die Wirtschaft und Wirtschaftspolitik kann man in einen 5min sagen?

#Söder: Ja.

Wie viele dieser Lügen bleiben unwidersprochen stehen, sodass die #CDU / #CSU sich ungestört als kompetent und seriös inszenieren kann?

Feldenkirchen bzw. Spiegel: Ja.

Das ist nun wirklich nicht schwer, solche wirtschaftspolitischen Totalversager wie die Union zu entlarven. Journalistische Bankrotterklärung.

Mitschnitt der re:publica 25: Rainer Rehak - Der Mythos „gezielter Tötungen“ am Beispiel #Israel/Gaza

Wie genau wird #KI in Kriegsgebieten eingesetzt? Das #Lavender-Zielsystem der #IDF in #Gaza steht beispielhaft für moderne Kriegsautomatisierung. Durch die Analyse des technischen Designs und der verwendeten Konfiguration können wir die zugrundeliegenden technischen und politischen Probleme diskutieren und zum Schluss kommen, dass deren Einsatz #Kriegsverbrechen darstellt und dem sonstigen #Vernichtungskrieg Israels gegen Gaza entspricht.

"Agentic" AI has Sabine Hossenfelder worried. AI worms? AI prompt injection? AI enabling hackers to find security vulnerabilities? AI emailing law enforcement and the FDA if it doesn't like your line of questioning? AI blackmailing users to prevent itself from being taken offline? AI models exchanging messages of spiritual bliss? Maybe that one wouldn't be so bad.

I just worry that a codebase I work on will get bugs in it I don't know about. Or security holes.

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Will pray for you. I took a long break from the news to focus on what I can control. What am I being called to do. If I improve my little world, the world is a better place. So I’m working on myself, my family, and public service when God directs, but right now the greatest service I can give to make the world a better place is to Love God, pray for others. To be like Jesus is the only thing worthy of our attention. God is bigger than this world and He owns it.

If you're not plugged into the movement, I'm here to tell you that it's BIG, much bigger than what you see on the news: there are Signal groups in every community in southern California to report sightings of ICE, coordinate protests, provide legal support, request aid, draft guides, & more. That's tens of thousands of people who are actively mobilized, and who are working to mobilize more people in their communities.

It's BIG and it's growing.

Can we not have #Meta in #NewMexico? Nothing good will come from Meta doing anything in New Mexico. They are a parasite that will completely consume the State's resources, put a drain on the economy, and not contribute one fucking thing back to the State or the communities.

Seriously. #FuckMeta. #FuckZuckerberg.

BREAKING: Judge Breyer orders Trump to "return control of the California National Guard" to CA Gov. Newsom, finding that Trump's order taking control was illegal because it did not follow the required procedure.

The order is stayed until noon Friday.

This is the 100 year anniversary of humans having an idea of what the heck the sun and all the stars actually are. If you had asked a leading astronomer in 1925 what the sun was, they would say that it's basically the same as Earth, but very hot.

In Cecilia Payne's doctoral thesis she was the first to say, from spectral data, that the sun was overwhelmingly made of hydrogen and helium.

It was later described as "the most brilliant PhD thesis ever written in astronomy".

Finished @pluralistic 's "The Masque of the Red Death" in his "_Radicalized_ anthology. All in one sitting which is unusual for me; I was surprisingly invested in the story.

Again, good writing style and good story. I found the development of Graciela at the end to be too fairytale-ish or altruistic to be realistic, but I am a cynic.

Turned the last page with high anticipation to read the ending and the page was blank! Very nicely done! That was some master craftmanship.

Highly recommended.

Les Sénateurs ont ce soir refusé de voter pour la "taxe Zucman", soit taxer de 2% les patrimoines supérieurs à 100 millions d'euros.
Ils défendent donc les intérêts de 1800 ultra riches plutôt que de financer les services publics, l'école, la transition écologique... la fameuse "droite humaniste".

Got it working again with a replacement power adapter... but only with the secondary USB-C port in the dock connector, not the primary charging port.

The Thunderbolt firmware issue probably took out the main charging port. It doesn't work as a charger, but does work as a USB port and recognized the USB ethernet adapter I plugged in.

I also updated BIOS and firmware with the Lenovo System Update utility.

Today I will be cleaning and testing a ThinkPad T490s laptop. The owner thinks the DC jack may be broken, but I am not sure yet that is the problem.

I will try with another power adapter to check to see if the charger is the problem.

This T490s is not the normal flat black color, but a steel grey color.

The main difference between The Empire and the US is that The Empire was actually competent. Imperial officers at least pretended to be sober at strategy meetings. TIE fighters actually flew while F-35s need therapy sessions. The Empire fell because of rebels; the US will fall because the SecDef leaked nuclear codes in a Signal chat.
