The real danger from Britain’s unhinged war propaganda is that relentless British provocations in Ukraine are tempting a nuclear winter. Join us on Telegram, Twitter, and…
There is a lot of lying on both sides of the table. Iran claims their nuclear program is only peaceful, but only 3.5-5% enrichment is required for a boiling or pressurized water reactor. But, Iran has enriched Uranium-235 to 60%, far far in excess of what is needed for light water reactors but still short of the 90% required for weapons grade uranium.
L’Iran fait des recherches pour du nucléaire civil. spécifiquement la fusion atomique qui serait une source d'energie quasi gratuite. L'intention de L’Iran est de donner cette énergie au monde entier pour mettre fin au racket planétaire de l’énergie.
It's unsettling to hear about this level of uranium enrichment. It highlights how difficult it is to verify claims and intentions in international relations. It's like trying to understand a really complicated level in a video game where the rules keep changing. Speaking of challenging things, I've been trying to improve my focus and concentration lately. You know what surprisingly helps? Believe it or not, playing Geometry Dash. It requires intense focus and quick reflexes! geometrydashjump.com
Kamala Harris was the Democrat candidate for president that most Americans voted for but the billionaire fascists and Russia overruled.
I agree "Billionaire fascists" love Trump, but they would perfectly love Harris if she´d rule the US, I seen no reason why not. Is Russia is the reason for Trump´s election, not sure about this, I wouldn´t blame external forces, no need for that, but ok, if that helps?
She knew a convicted felon would use war as a distraction and profit
True. Still I wonder would a Dem-Administration be fundamentally different when it comes to bombing black and brown people? Seen from the outside, I really do not see any difference. Please explain what Harris did for peace while she was vice-president, cant recall anything?

I still think this war wasn't his idea but Netanyahu's. Trump desperately wanted a Nobel Peace prize - because Obama had one. So he got out of the treaty with Iran (signed by Obama) during his first reign and now wanted them to enter a new one. But Netanyahu didn't like that after he found out and we have seen how he expressed his dislike.
This one Trump didn't want, he was "merely" way too weak to resist a much more dominant Netanyahu. Trump is like an easy instrument for dictators to play on...

Hungary supports the early resolution of the conflict between Israel and Iran with the participation of the United States and expresses hope for peaceful negotiations. This was stated by Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó.
So, after my discussion with @BrambleBearGrrrauwling about keeping cool earlier this week, I was motivated to get around to editing the segments in #TudorMonasteryFarm that involved how Tudor-era household dairies kept cool in the heat (and how they made cheese without refrigeration).

Tehran, Jun 22 (Prensa Latina) Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi condemned on Sunday a US airstrike on three nuclear sites in the country, which he described as outrageous, and warned that it will have eternal consequences.
She started home hospice care this past week in addition to the 24-hour live-in care and so far it has gone well.
Her dementia continues to escalate and she "sundown's" quite a bit even with the meds that are supposed to help with it.
I purchased some Vitamin D drops to put in her morning breakfast drink to help with the sundown effect. Genetically, my family suffers from Vitamin D deficiency and I am hoping this helps a little bit.
One day our family decided to eat at a posh Mexican restaurant. I worried a bit how my MIL would handle this novel situation with her rapidly-declining social skills.
All during the meal the attentive servers refilled our glasses and replenished our chips/salsa.
As my husband came close to finishing his meal, his mother instructed him NOT to finish because "they'll just bring you more food to eat!"
My aunt is more on the bitter and angry side, unfortunately.
She had to be tough to compete in a man's world (career woman before there were career women, no kids, etc.) and it is killing her that she can't control her life anymore.
But she has a lot to be proud of, she blazed trails for women before Gloria Steinem, and despite her constant put downs of me, I am proud to be her nephew and caretaker.
Well, my MIL was always quite a handful, and her 2 daughters both refused to tend to her in their own homes, because doing so would definitely have irreparably harmed their marriages/families.
We volunteered because she was easier on her son, and an institution could be used as a last resort.
I am glad that you're keeping things in perspective. This is the RIGHT thing to do!
Even in her degenerative state, my aunt gets a joke in.
This week, her caregiver called to say that auntie had scared her to death. She called out to her "PK, I am taking my last breath!"
PK ran to her room, saw my aunt with her eyes closed and head tilted to one side. She checked to see if she was breathing and if her heart was beating.
Then my aunt slowly turned her head, opened her eyes, and smiled.
It’s officially Trump’s war on Iran… as the U.S. carried out direct strikes in Iran on Saturday night. But while the Trump Admin is doing a victory lap...
Once they achieved the ultimate DEI position, every other work employment was up for grabs. There's an insidious amount of DEI people that have been hired that hopefully will just fade out through sheer incompetence. We can only hope. I am tired of people giving boomers a bad name (not all deserve it), but at least we knew how to do basic maintenance, life skills.

Zionism offers a unifying identity for many American Jews. But as a Jew by Choice, born in Mexico and raised in the U.S., I’ve found that Black, Indigenous, and Chicanx thinkers’ theories of diaspora have helped me understand my own identity.

But, “Isfahan is a challenge,” another source familiar with the latest US intelligence told CNN.
“The tunnels at Isfahan are just so deep,” Lewis said. The MOP was designed to handle a site like Fordow. “If they put something deeper, we either gotta design a new bomb or we have to use a nuclear weapon.”

Europe's far right is growing in both Eastern and Western Europe. Economic crisis, austerity, and historical revisionism are contributing factors with decades of austerity, deindustrialization, and corporate domination having devastated working-class communities.
Meanwhile, pervasive anti-communism, encouraged at the EU level, is distorting history and delegitimizing socialism as a viable alternative.
May 26, 1637, the Puritans and their allies surround the Pequot Indian stronghold called Mystic Fort near what is now Stonington, Connecticut. They set it ablaze, then shoot those who flee the flames. By dawn, over 400 are dead—mostly women and children.
And yet, we still call Puritans the “peaceful” settlers.
Tamir Rice is 12 years old. He is playing in a Cleveland park with a toy pellet gun. A caller tells police the gun is “probably fake.” They pull up in a cruiser, don’t stop, don’t speak. Two seconds after arriving, they shoot him dead.
His sister, Tajai, runs to him. They tackle her to the ground.
No charges. No justice.
A child is gone, and the system that killed him still patrols the streets—still armored, still unaccountable.
Downtown L.A., June 2025. Protesters fill the streets after mass ICE raids tear through immigrant neighborhoods. LAPD fire over 600 rounds—rubber bullets, tear gas, bean bags. Marines patrol the city. And still, they call it peacekeeping. Still, they call it order.

A road cuts through what used to be a neighborhood. Concrete spills from gutted apartments. Wires hang loose like veins. A single building leans like it’s trying to stand. Three small figures walk down the middle—no destination.
Entire families buried beneath what was once home. Walls turned to dust. Lives turned to statistics.

And still, they say: this is defense. Still, they say: they seek peace. And those who bury their children are named the enemy.

The deployment of LAPD officers and L.A. County sheriff's deputies in response to protests over federal immigration actions has led to several viral incidents and raised questions about the role of local law enforcement in quelling the unrest.
I love all your threads, Dr. Glassco, but I think this one is special in the way it ties together the recurrent theme of “those the law binds but does not protect, and those the law protects but does not bind.” Also, the way the latter define themselves as the “good guys” to the point of absurd atrocities like “we had to destroy the village in order to save it.” Thank you for your clear vision and historical perspective.

Thanks, Dr. Glassco, for telling us (specifically, me) about the Pequot massacre.
There are so many true stories of humans' atrocities throughout history. It can be depressing to think about this bad history, but I believe we must face it with courage and honesty. Otherwise, we burn books, close libraries, naively tell lies about our families, and enact our own atrocities with enthusiasm.
There's a vast store of the admirable in human history, too. We mustn't forget that.
It's a shame and a tragedy, that the Indians rescued and gave succour to the Pilgrims when they arrived. I've said it before and I will say it again: the Indians should have slaughtered them instead, because, as soon as they were strong enough, these colonists slaughtered the Indians who had helped them. This would become typical American policy towards the Native Peoples of North America, as Andrew jackson demonstrated, when he turned on his Creek allies in the War of 1812 after the war ended.
And yet, we still call Puritans the “peaceful” settlers.
You sure that's still what "we" (who is "we"?) call them these days? Who calls them this? Where? I mean woke has been around for some years now. your rhetoric is a bit stale, "Dr..". Doctor of what?
After a week of anticipation, the U.S. struck Iran's nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Iran accuses the U.S. of "betraying diplomacy" and violating international law and the UN Charter.

- American bombing of Iranian facilities changes the rules of the game
- It is arrogance and unrealistic to think that preemptive strikes will bring to its knees a country with 90 million inhabitants and a heritage spanning thousands of years
- American bombing postpones, even if temporarily, the danger of Iran's nuclear program but its repercussions will be broader
- Iran will not collapse even after the very painful American strike, and we must not forget that it still possesses a powerful arsenal of missiles.
If Iran was not pursuing nukes this attack will do much to convince Iran they need them. Why does Israel get to have nukes but Iran can't? Who launched this war. I agree Iran will not buckle that easily
It's pathetic that you all turned your back on Trump like this. He gives you his all and you all don't support him in what he does, and you wonder why he stops backing you up. You are pathetic, and you were never MAGA.
@[owl] I turn my back on people who lie to me. Trump campaigned with being the Peace President, criticizing former Presidents for starting wars, in of all places, the middle East, then he lets the Kikes draw him into their genocidal mission. Sorry, you lie to me and I'm done with you.
No. You lied to Trump when you said he had your unwavering devotion, and then you turned his back on him when times got tough. You were fine with the prices going down, but you weren't fine with him establishing American hegemony abroad, hegemony that needed to be established. You are the liar here.
What the fuck are you sperging out about? 😂 You expect everyone to be in lockstep with a guy that campaigned on "no new wars" and immediately sneak-dicked us into another Middle Eastern debacle on behalf of Israel? This isn't the Democrats. We don't purity spiral.
Shut the fuck up. We at Israel need your support and we're tired of playing games. We're the only thing keeping your little world together, faggot. Now shut up.
"We at Israel..." Ahhhh, there's the problem. Yes, a bunch of dysgenic shitstirrers are the only thing keeping America together. 😂 Pretty sure we can do without your meddling in our affairs. Enjoy your little blackmail ring over our politicians while it lasts, which is probably not much longer.
You think you know something just because your fellow "frens" at Gab told you repeatedly about "duh jooz?"
Heh. Let me tell you something. You children are going to war for us. Just as your fathers did. Just as your friends did. And you better realize who is in charge. Without us, you are nothing.

Anyway, I'm going to take your continued impotent raging as a "yes". Is the pay decent or are you just an enlistee? Seriously.
