Called it re: maximalist demands.

Iran is NPT signatory &, sincere or not, has/does abjure seeking nukes.

USA, it seems, continues to be maximalist, inflexible, & imperious ("these are our terms")...

...looks like uranium enrichment at w/e degree was once again a red line 4 both

Four women have come forward to accuse Eric Swalwell of sexual harassment. Sources say that it will take at least 5 more for the congressman to obtain Donald Trump‘s endorsement in the California gubernatorial primary.

Before I became an American, I was Lebanese. Parts of my family live in Lebanon.

Anyway, you don't need those bona fides to feel this way, but what is happening in Lebanon right now is a complete outrage. The people there, who mostly are just trying to carve out a living, don't deserve this.

This is such a good idea. We should do this in NYC.

"All Chicago Public Schools students now have access to nearly everything the city’s libraries have to offer — including physical items like books as well as extensive digital resources."

Difficult to describe how unusual it is for @icrc.org to speak publicly like this.

"Heavy explosive weapons with wide-area effects struck densely populated urban areas, including the capital Beirut, without effective advance warnings."

While Trump's assertion that "a whole civilization will die tonight" represents a discrete threat of genocide against Iran, the fact that it comes from a U.S. president, while Congress does nothing, actually represents a broader civilizational collapse — whether he follows through or not.

Today’s Lego video tells you what your government is hiding.

And also points out your government continues to lie to you.

So it’s a good one to watch.

Disgraceful!

The US/Israel just bombed Sharif University in Tehran. This is not only Iran's best university, but also a top 100 global university in the field of Civil Engineering.

It has also been a center of student opposition to the Iranian gov

And Trump just bombed it...
