God bless Rep Ted Lieu. He's saying it because it's the truth and it's the right thing to say.
But he's also playing on their fears effectively: they know they're going down at this point. They are frantically trying to deny it and shift blame and distract, but they know. Even the brain dead ICE agents know for the most part-- we can see it in their behavior.
Enough pressure from us and our electeds will work.

"Why are there almost no Republican scientists? It’s not a mystery. GOP political orthodoxy includes positions that are at odds with the scientific consensus on multiple issues, ranging from the validity of the theory of evolution, to the reality of climate change, to the efficacy and safety of vaccines. In each case the scientific consensus is solidly grounded in evidence."

„Contrary to what #Trump has said to justify his decision, the intelligence showed that the Iranian regime was not preparing to use a nuclear weapon; it did not have ballistic missiles capable of reaching the USA; and in response to a U.S. military attack, #Iran was likely to strike at neighboring countries in the Persian Gulf and try to close the #straitofhormuz, precipitating a global economic crisis. All of this was known before the war and presented to Trump.“

The White House posted - then deleted - a video from Trump's Easter luncheon, where the US President made inflammatory and false statements against several figures. Except it was downloaded by a journalist who posted it online. In the hour-long clip, Trump mocked French President Emmanuel Macron's marriage and imitated him, called himself a 'king' and was compared to Jesus Christ. Vedika Bahl explains in Truth or Fake.

#Trump escalated threats against #Iran power plants, bridges & other infrastructure in an expletive-laden post on Truth Social on #Easter morning.
“Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran,” Trump posted. “There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell — JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.”
The profane threat, landed a few hours after #PopeLeo XIV issued a call for nations to choose #peace.

"Less than 48 hours after Donald Trump told Americans that Iran had 'no anti-aircraft equipment' and that its radar was '100 percent annihilated,' Iran shot down a United States Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle over its own territory."

"The international military press has been tracking the contradiction between Trump’s public characterization of Iran’s degraded defenses and the operational reality on the ground since the war began. The F-15E shootdown will now anchor that coverage. …
WHAT AMERICAN READERS NEED TO KNOW: On Wednesday, the President of the United States told you that Iran had no anti-aircraft equipment and that its radar was completely destroyed."
"On Friday, Iran shot down an F-15E Strike Eagle — a front-line US combat aircraft — over Iranian territory, and downed or damaged three more aircraft during the rescue mission. One American crew member is still missing inside Iran. This is not a minor discrepancy between what the president said and what happened."
"Iran’s ability to shoot down two US planes and damage two helicopters in a single day demonstrates that Trump and Hegseth lied to the American people about US total control of airspace over Iran."

I hate sharing anything from Qalibaf that I remember personally from 1980s horrors.
But sadly he is telling the truth, much more often than the orange shitler.
US has asked Iran for help rescuing their pilot and "threat him in accordance to international laws".
The sad part is US and EU designated IRGC as a terrorist organization, German chanslor proudly announced that international laws don't apply to Iran. But the terrorists are expected to follow the laws that don't apply to them if they capture the American pilot.
It's perfectly logical, isn't it?

Au sujet de #Trump (dans un article de Midi-Libre) :
« Ce nouveau langage de Trump qui joue avec les codes, qui peut être très viriliste, très masculiniste, ça marche dans la guerre métaphorique. Mais quand elle devient réelle, ça ne marche plus, parce que pour mener une guerre vraiment bien, il faut justement quitter le vocabulaire de l’hyperbole, de l’exagération, il faut être comme Athéna, il faut entrer dans la stratégie et l’intelligence. Les vrais militaires de métiers connaissent bien le sujet, mais Trump n’appartient pas à ce monde-là. Aujourd’hui, ça se voit. »

They’re destroying more than fifty research facilities across thirty-one states…And they’re replacing all of it — the offices, the scientists, the institutional knowledge, the professional independence — with fifteen political appointees called 'state directors,' embedded in state capitals alongside the very governors, legislators, and industry lobbyists who have spent their careers demanding that the Forest Service log more, protect less, and get out of the way."

@VeroniqueB99 I read this as “We need boats on the ground…” and frankly, it made about as much sense as anything.
I can’t decide how funny I think this would be.
A T-shirt with Arabic writing on it that simply said, in Arabic, “release the Epstein file.”
The idea being that non-Arabic speakers would have to ask me what it says (which I would cheerfully answer), and Arabic speakers (presumably?) would chuckle.
It’s that second half that I don’t know about.
I also don’t know whether it’s even possible. A lot of non-English languages just toss in English for things like “Epstein files.”

Imagine having your career de-railed by the drunkard Pete #Hegseth, who is himself a known national security threat, just because he and the entire #Trump administration want to roll back what they see as ‘woke DEI appointments’…and the rest of us just see as blatant racism and misogyny.

@PoliticalCartoon Trump doesn't sign his messages "Thank you for your attention in this matter" he signs every one as "Thank you for your attention *to* this matter"
Although... it would be interesting to see if his private encrypted messages could have the encryption broken by him repeating the same line at the end of every message, like how Alan Turing broke Nazi encryption because the end line of every message was always "Heil Hitler!"... 🤔
#Pentagon considers diverting #Ukraine #military aid to the #MiddleEast

The #Pentagon is considering whether to divert weapons intended for #Ukraine to the #MiddleEast as the #war in #Iran depletes some of the #US military’s most critical munitions, acc/to 3 people familiar with the matter.
Although a final decision to redirect the equipment has not yet been made, the shift would highlight the growing trade-offs required to sustain the US war against Iran, where CENTCOM has hit >9,000 targets in just under 4 weeks of fighting.
#TrumpsWar #Trump #ForeverWars #law
The weapons that could be diverted away from #Ukraine include air defense interceptor missiles, ordered through a #NATO program launched last year in which partner countries buy #US arms for Kyiv, the 3 people said….
The Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List (#PURL) initiative has ensured a flow of select #military equipment to Kyiv even as the #Trump admin has cut off most of the #Pentagon’s direct #security assistance.
#TrumpsWar #Iran #war #ForeverWars #law #Congress #WarPowers #geopolitics
…Kyiv’s chief #Europe backers have taken the lead on funding & arming #Ukraine forces since #Trump took office. The #PURL initiative, brokered last year by #NATO, offered a work-around for Ukraine to keep getting #US weaponry, so long as the Europeans pay the bill. The deal provided Trump a political “win” & a way for NATO to quell fears that Kyiv could be left exposed by the admin’s ambition for a peace deal with #Russia.
#TrumpsWar #Iran #war #law #Congress #geopolitics #StandWithUkraine
#Europe now provides the bulk of #military support to Kyiv, including direct provisions separate from #NATO. But #PURL supplies #Ukraine with key #US equipment, including high-end munitions & scarce air defense interceptors. Countries have committed ~$4B for Ukraine through the program….
Since the…attack on #Iran on Feb 28, Europe has become concerned that the #Trump admin is rapidly using up its existing munitions, delaying their own orders & disrupting deliveries of US systems to Ukraine….
This is not the first line of thought that would occur to me.
Probably not even in a hundred years.
But sure, ok.

"For every decision President Donald Trump makes, some nearby patsy invariably gets blamed when that decision goes south. Trump throws people under the bus so often that there’s not a single bloodless bus undercarriage left in Washington, DC.

Tomorrow, the European Parliament will vote on reducing tariffs on US goods as part of the EU–US trade deal agreed in August 2025. While this vote is limited in scope, it will in practice determine whether the broader trade deal moves forward.

#Primaries and November
#Democrats suck but we can freeze Trump's agenda
Game theory predicts that this is likely to be a long conflict.
#Trump is an actor who feels like having the upper hand in any negotiation and who always tries to maximize concessions given from the adversary over the shortest arc of time, leveraging the confusion and shock that his sudden actions have over his adversaries.
#Iran is an actor that, after many rounds of negotiations and unilateral withdrawals, is ready to play the long game - well aware that any rushed deal will end up with more concessions from their side.
Trump wants to withdraw as he realized that he has just been sleepwalked by Israel into a long conflict that is going to impact prices of oil and inflation on the long term on top of the midterms, for something that was really mostly just in Israel’s interests - and in the meantime he’s trying to frame this suicidal mission as a success for him. Another “war he ended” (after starting it himself) to add to his collection.
Iran no longer trusts its interlocutor and is afraid that any retreat may hide another trick - look no further than the Hamas negotiators bombed in Qatar while they were waiting for the Israeli delegation. And, now that they have realized the power that they hold over the straight of Homuz, they may just be driven to play the long game in order to maximize the concessions from the other side.
And any further hostile act by Iran is very unlikely to be ignored both by a vindicative man like Trump and by Israeli hawks who have interest in maximizing the duration of this war.
When will the US and Israel understand that they can’t just solve all the problems in the Middle East by dropping a couple of bombs, slaughtering a political leader and then calling it a victory?

Well, you will not be surprised to find out that the Tangerine Tyrant has threatened the EU with constraints on supplies of Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) from the USA (now that global supply is constricted by the US/Israeli attack(s) on Iran), if they fail to pass the delayed EU/US trade deal without amendments.
So having delayed the ratification with his threats to Greenland, Trump is now using his disruption of LNG markets to drive his trade agenda.

@knowprose The opposite is true. Think of it as an internal war inside America, amongst different factions of American elites:
Group 1 = Bankers, $USDollar
Group 2 = Tech bros, AI
The #iranwar serves and helps the tech bros and AI, against the bankers and US dollar.
So, #trump who is funded mostly by Group 2, through the war in #iran is aiming at decapitating Group 1 at home inside America. This war likely will destroy the global economy and AI will prosper.
boostedTrump traite les pays de l’Otan de "lâches" et déplore leur manque d’implication en Iran, et menace: "Nous nous en souviendrons (...) "Sans les États-Unis, l’Otan n’est qu’un tigre de papier", écrit le dirigeant. Sauf que les pays concernés, dont la France, n'avaient pas à répondre à l'appel des Etats-Unis qui a lancé une guerre unilatérale avec Israël, rien à voir avec la charte de l'OTAN, qui a été créée pour protéger l'Europe de la menace russe.
To dramatically increase the amount of energy available to power artificial intelligence, the Trump administration is rewriting thousands of pages of nuclear power regulations while downplaying safety issues and focusing on industry incentives.

Surprising no one, the man who said he graduated top of his class at Wharton -- or later backpedaled to "the highest grades possible" when his name wasn't found on any published class honors list -- the current US President, actually graduated two spots from the bottom of his class: 364 out of 366 according to Penn's archives.
Donald Trump didn't graduate top of his class, he barely made it out of college at all. According to Prof. William Kelley (by way of attorney Frank DiPrima) Trump was "the dumbest goddamn student I ever had!"
Rutte was the prime minister when Shell and ExxonMobile were filled their pockets with money from extracting gas in the provence of Groningen.

Rutte, a member of the VVD party, which is in the mean time a fascist-leaning party. A party for the rich and the super rich, companies, and making life more miserable for the have-nots and have-very-little in society.

#TulsiGabbard’s #Senate testimony alongside the #Trump admin’s other top #intelligence officials follows the stunning resignation of Joe Kent, a senior political appointee overseeing the National Counterterrorism Center, who sharply cast doubt on the admin’s case for starting the #war.
Gabbard said in her opening remarks that #Iran & its proxies “continue to attack #US & allied interests in the #MiddleEast” even after setbacks leading up to, & following, the start of the war.
Strikingly, in her opening statement she departed from prepared remarks — published ahead of Wednesday’s hearing — outlining the #intelligence community’s assessment of #Iran’s #nuclear capability. As she spoke to lawmakers, #TulsiGabbard said that after the #US military bombed Iran’s nuclear sites over the summer, Tehran was “trying to recover” from the “severe damage” caused by the operation.

I keep looking at Iranian media and am just in shock with how organized their government is despite an assassination and thousands of US bombings in only a few days.
Meanwhile the Americans government is a total clusterfuck.
There is NO support right now for US citizens stranded in West Asia.
Many commercial airports are closed and the US really should be operating its own flights to get stranded citizens out.
In the past 72 hours Iran has continued to pound targets throughout the middle east including within Israel.
Numerous reports over the weekend prove that Iran has been using ballastic missiles with cluster warheads which have been basically impossible for close in anti-aircraft weapons to shootdown once they split apart.
Important to note, Israel never signed the weapons ban on cluster munitions nor did Iran.

Judd Legum offers a rundown of what we've learned from recently released documents about the allegation that Trump raped a minor provided to him by Epstein — and what documentation about this is still being withheld by the Trump administration.

"Emails from the Jeffrey Epstein files show the late pedophile trying to connect far-right tech mogul Peter Thiel and former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak on at least six separate occasions. ...
The germ of Palantir’s involvement in the region may well have had its origins with Epstein, according to documents released earlier this year by the Department of Justice."
~ Branko Marcetic
"Emails show Epstein connected Thiel with another friend, former Israeli defense minister and prime minister Ehud Barak, on account of their mutual interest in leveraging the tech sector for national security."
"Under increasing pressure over the Epstein files, the Department of Justice (DOJ) today released some of the missing documents concerning an allegation from an Epstein survivor that Trump raped her when she was thirteen or fourteen. The so-called 302 report released today concerns four separate FBI interviews with the woman."
~ Heather Cox Richardson
#Epstein #Trump #PamBondi #SexualAssault #pedophiles #coverup

"(FD-302 is the form used by the Federal Bureau of Investigation to provide an official record of summarized interviews.) The DOJ’s initial document drop included only the interview in which she talked about her abuse at Epstein’s hands; the other interviews discuss Trump. Some of the files related to that accusation and those interviews are still missing."

Okay, if Iran manages to strike US territory - or, far more likely, if Trump has a domestic false flag attack made to shore up his political support - where in the US is likely to be blown up?
Maybe the rest of the White House so he can finish his golden palace. Maybe New York or California to reduce the number of Democratic voters. Maybe the Statue of Liberty for the symbolism.

The Republicans in the US and the Likud party in Israel have launched a war against Iran.
But has wither the US or Israel actually declared war?
What they ar edoing is clearly WAR.
But have they followed their own laws about starting wars?
For the US, it seems to me that Congress has not declared war, and thus everything being done by anyone from Trump down to privates in the army is all of it basically treason.

@thenewsdesk This is such a republican approach and a very republican-friendly framing. Conservatives don’t know what to DO. They only know what to DON’T. What do I mean?
When you know who WILL pay and why, you don’t have to make big proclamations about who WON’T. They are trying to get some kind of credit or political cover. They have no vision for solving the problem. They want to treat ruling out one bad solution as the same as solving the problem.
And what happens if the companies break this pledge? (Hint: jack all)

#TRUMP THREATENS TRADE CUT AFTER #SPAIN REFUSES TO ENTER WAR: After #Trump threatened to cut off trade with Spain in response to Spain’s decision to not get involved in the Middle East, #Spanish PM reiterated his unwillingness to let the #U.S. use jointly operated military bases in southern Spain for strikes on Iran.
core points are the unreliability and unpredictability of #trump admin. war goals keep changing (announced three goals of destroying Iran #navy , #nuclear program and #missile program) while announcing "achieving goal of killing #khamenei that was not on the list. hidden goals with no transparency with allies. a supposedly "joint" military operation with #Israel, while US is having "exclusive" statements and announcements on progress, while contradicting Israel announced goals, timelines ...etc
Ok, now I’m scared. Pete Hegseth and the #ChristoFascists have declared #Iran is a #HolyWar.
Multiple reports indicate that military commanders across branches and installations have told troops that the war with Iran is part of a divine plan to bring about #Armageddon and the return of Jesus Christ.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (#MRFF) received over 110 complaints from service members in more than 40 units, stating that commanders cited the Book of #Revelation, referred to President #Trump as “anointed by Jesus,” and described the war as a biblically sanctioned event. One non-commissioned officer reported that their commander said Trump was chosen to “light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon.”
#Hegseth sponsors a weekly White House Bible study led by Pastor Ralph #Drollinger, who teaches that supporting #Israel brings divine favor.
We need to get these people away from power and guns now.

Independent journalist Jonathan Larsen reported that a US combat unit commander told non-commissioned officers that the war on Iran is part of "God’s divine plan," claiming that President Donald Trump was "anointed by Jesus" to ignite the fire of Armageddon.
The complaint was filed with the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, one of more than 110 complaints from multiple units within 48 hours, with complainants requesting anonymity to avoid retaliation.
According to MRFF President Mikey Weinstein, service members reported "unrestricted euphoria" among leaders portraying the attack on Iran as biblically sanctioned and linked to end-times prophecy. One officer wrote that such rhetoric undermines morale and violates the constitutional oath, particularly for troops in ready-to-deploy status.
This controversy arises as Secretary of War Pete Hegseth expands evangelical programming within the Pentagon, including prayer sessions and Bible studies aligned with pro-Israel theology.

You are being manipulated.
#Trump told CNN in a 9-minute phone interview Monday morning that the #US #military is “knocking the crap” out of #Iran — but that tthe “big wave” is yet to come.
“We’re knocking the crap out of them,” Trump told CNN’s Jake Tapper. “I think it’s going very well. It’s very powerful. We’ve got the greatest military in the world & we’re using it.”

#Trump addressed a range of topics in the interview, including the expected length of the conflict, his surprise at Iran’s widespread retaliation [idiot] & the country’s expected succession plan.
Asked whether the #US is doing more beyond the #military assault to help the #IranianPeople regain control of their country from the regime, Trump said, “Yes.”
“We are indeed. But right now we want everyone staying inside. It’s not safe out there.”
L'Espagne refuse d'apporter son soutien militaire à l'opération américano-israélienne contre l'Iran. En conséquence, le Pentagone a fait décoller une douzaine d'avions ravitailleurs KC-135 des bases de Morón et de Rota, déclare la ministre de la Défense, Margarita Robles. Au moins sept des avions ont atterri à la base aérienne de Ramstein, tandis que les autres se sont dirigés vers le sud de la France ou vers des destinations non repérées.
EDIT: Les avions américains F35 ont été abattus "par erreur" par le Koweït, indique le Pentagone. Les six soldats sont sains et saufs. Une pensée pour les Américains qui ont voté pour Trump en raison de sa politique isolationniste https://edition.cnn.com/world/live-news/iran-israel-us-attack-03-02-26-intl-hnk

#TRUMP PREDICTS “FOUR OR FIVE WEEKS”: The U.S. #president told the NYT that it “won’t be difficult” for the United States and Israel to maintain the tempo of military operations for more than a month. Three Americans service members have already been killed. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/01/us/politics/trump-iran-war-interview.html

Aie, aie, aie Macron suggère une possible augmentation des moyens militaires français déployés dans la région tandis que la France a signé une déclaration commune avec l'Allemagne et le Royaume-Uni pour détruire les capacités militaires de l'Iran. Ça ressemble de moins en moins à un conflit régional... Il faut ajouter que la France a signé des accords militaires avec les pétromonarchies...

Surprise, Trump annonce que la guerre contre l'Iran pourrait durer "quatre semaines"... "ou moins". L'offensive américaine et israélienne ne devait pas s'inscrire dans la durée, selon un diplomate que j'ai consulté. "Sans troupes au sol, ça paraît compliqué de tenir un conflit de haute intensité. A moins que le président US a appris la patience mais à le voir déjà parader comme s'il avait gagné...", soupire ma source.

Please see the top post in this thread if I suddenly have un-followed you and/or muted you.
TL;DR: if you are talking about #uspol, #Trump, our nation's expanding war machine, federal police murdering citizens, etc, & you don't use a content-warning (some ActivityPub clients weirdly call it “title”😕), I just won't read your posts.
It seems for some time “uspol” has been the preferred content warning for these topics. I recommend its strict use on #Fediverse & #Mastodon.
The mental health toll of #Trump & his nihilist cronies — while small when compared to the murders they commit — is nonetheless palpable damage to all.
Since our Constitutional right “to petition the Government for a redress of grievances” has effectively been suspended, I'll focus exclusively on my #FOSS work. My whole adult life, I never outright ignored world news,but for my own mental health I must — at least until I've an idea on how to start a non-violent revolution.
C'est curieux ce besoin trumpiste de "libérer" les peuples de pays qui ont du pétrole 🙄
X Is Drowning in Disinformation Following US and Israeli Attack on Iran

The Pentagon says it’s ‘lethalitymaxxing’. Why has ‘incel’ slang crossed into the mainstream?

Bardella demande une réunion des dirigeants politiques à l’Élysée après le déclenchement de la gu... pardon, de "l'opération" militaire de Trump et Netanyahou contre l'Iran: "L'unité nationale est un devoir", déclare le patron du RN... et candidat putatif pour 2027. L'extrême-droite félicite les Etats-Unis, les écolos et LFI déplorent la violation du droit international. Ah, si le RN était au pouvoir, il n'y aurait plus de débats...

well we can show up in the #primaries coming up soon and get 50 mamdanis in the ballot
then show up in the general #election and push them over the finish line
freezing #trump's agenda until 2028
and then, showing up in the primaries again and deep sixing fucking #newsom, and get a real left candidate on the ballot
and again again, show up in the general to get a president who will finally stop mindless support for #likud's #genocide
to get it done
we need to #vote
#NEWSFLASH: #Trump declares Ali #Khamenei dead after joint #Israeli-U.S. strikes. #Tehran disputes the claim as satellite images show major damage to his compound. https://www.counteroffensive.news/p/newsflash-irans-supreme-leader-dead
Trump affirme que le "guide suprême" iranien Ali Khamenei est mort à la suite des frappes des Etats-Unis et d'Israël sur l'Iran, même si aucune confirmation iranienne n'a été apportée pour le moment. Au même moment, l'ambassadeur d'Israël cite le livre d'Esther devant le Conseil de Sécurité de l'ONU, affirmant qu'il s'agit d'une frappe préemptive. Les ambassadeurs des pays arabes évoquent, eux, une "agression" illégale et la "loi du plus fort".
The question now is:
Will your average #MAGA supporter, who considers opposition to American military interventionism a core belief, now fall in line behind #Trump, or notice how they are idiot victims of a confidence game?
When MAGA fused with #Qanon in disgust with elite #pedophile rings, was that genuine? Or was it an "accuse the other side of that which you are guilty" Goebbels trick?
Do zombies grow brains?
Was it all a lying game of deflection from their own malice?
Le ministre de la Défense italien bloqué à Dubai avec sa petite famille où il passait le weekend. Au ridicule de la situation, s’ajoute l’humiliation infligée à la neofasciste Meloni qui se vante de sa proximité avec Trump et n’a même pas été prévenue de la guerre à venir. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/italys-defence-minister-stuck-dubai-with-family-2026-02-28/

Oui pauvre #Macron sa politique étrangère a été et est calamiteuse partout dans le monde ... Tout comme la politique intérieur d'ailleurs si il fallait le rappeler ... Il a été bon qu'à une chose ses intérêts et ceux de son entourage ... un peu comme #trump quoi ...
Ca promet si il vise un poste à l'Europe en attendant une prochaine mandature ?... Après probablement la parenthèse de l'extrême droite qu'il aura mis au pouvoir ... ?
