Analysis: "The Folly of A War With Iran"
Israel & neocons in the US have long tried to start a war with Iran, "a war that neither Israel nor the U.S. can win."
These neocons, bonded with Israel, “will not tolerate any rival power, any challenge to American leadership."
"They will create facts on the ground – a war between Israel & Iran – that will “pull Trump into a war with Iran.”

I'm no expert, but I've read enough of analysts such as Robert Fisk, Noam Chomsky, & Ilan Pappé to know that Netanyahu is living out the Zionists' (incl his daddy's) dream of expelling the Palestinians, wiping out all enemies, & fulfilling the "Greater Israel" project (map 👇)
Zionists were doing ethnic cleansing, slow genocide, & stealing Palestinian land since imperial Britain gave them the go-ahead in the 1920s.
As to US, does hubris ever learn?

Juvenile Heron in Golden Light
We were all sitting out on the porch in front of my wife's little quilting shop when she pointed out a heron perched to the west, just beyond a strip of low trees marking the edge of our property. At first, I didn’t see it—I was looking in the wrong place. But once I spotted it, I rushed inside to grab my camera, and voilà, here it is! A great blue heron (Ardea herodias), possibly a juvenile, judging by its muted plumage. I love how it demonstrates just how incredibly flexible that long neck is—nature’s elegance in motion.

Please be careful with what you consume, what you amplify, and what you conclude, today.
It is important to understand that, in addition to the domestic threats of right-wing terrorism, the right wing in government has empowered any number of operational adversaries that seek to take advantage of and magnify chaos here.
reshared this
The government bodies that would previously seek to protect us from information operations or kinetic operations by foreign adversaries are now either gone or very, very weakened. CISA, intelligence agencies, fusion centers, and similar.
This provides those adversaries opportunities to escalate chaos in many ways. Some of them have honed skills in this over centuries, and are very good at it.
The non-government organizations that have sought to protect us from disinformation operations and chaos-sowing adversaries have all been sued into the ground by the right wing as well, and threatened by our right wing government.
Alex Stamos, Renee DiResta, and many others precarized and terrorized to incentivize them to abandon their missions.
So please, please, be careful today about what you take in, and what you put out there.
@bucknam And remember that you don't need to unlock your phone to make an emergency call.
Don't unlock your phone.

Some of you protesting are far too into publicly posting identifiable pics and videos of folks in protest crowds without good reason.
If you brought a camera to the protest point it at the authorities, not your compatriots. Document and publicize incidents of abuse, but don't facilitate your fellow protestors being identified and punished for showing up. Assume every face you post will be recognized and catalogued. They're not there to be your photo op.

If you post a reply with #alt4u text, people can see it and then see who posted the image. And the person posting the image will have alt text to add.
Just a suggestion - I like doing this. It's soothing.

Owner Of D.C. Doggy Daycare Worried Her Military Parade Float Sticking Out
WASHINGTON—Growing increasingly concerned as she peered around at the marching troops, towed artillery, and self-propelled howitzers, local D.C.The Onion Staff (The Onion)
Two Minnesota state lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes early Saturday
by a man who apparently posed as a police officer — and is still on the loose.
Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL) Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman was shot in her Brooklyn Park home,
while fellow party member Sen. John Hoffman was targeted roughly 8 miles away in Champlin.
A manhunt is on for the suspect, who was wearing black body armor over a blue shirt and blue pants.
