Writer, psychologist & educator here to learn & share info on politics, psych, education, history &, especially, structural power. Antifascist, anti-oligarchy, atheist. I boost what I find interesting, regardless of whether I agree with it. Resisting fascism includes countering disinformation with facts. I prefer evidence, not evidence-free opinion.

Interview: what are the US's long-term goals for Iran?
Trump may not even know what the US's long-term agenda is about.
He's not the one shaping it.
~Col. Lawrence Wilkerson
Plus a great deal more on what's what with the war.
Interview: "Does Donald Trump have a sense of his own limitations?"
"Deep down, absolutely. That's why he's constantly on guard. He's paranoid".
When he demands power, "he's doing so from a place of pathology. He's doing so in a way that actually fuels his sense of insecurity, of his unfitness, of his unbelonging."
"So he will increasingly become more defensive, dangerous & tyrannical."

The genocide in Gaza is a message to the global south: "We will build our climate fortresses & we will stop at nothing."
Gaza "has been a complete repudiation of international law, the genocide convention, the UN charter, everything."
And it's tied to the climate breakdown. As people flee devastated areas, the tools used on the Palestinians "are being used on migrants, whether in Lesbos or on the Mexican border."
"Iran’s embassy responded to Pete Hegseth’s threat to return Iran 'to the Stone Age' by posting a rock relief of Shapur I, the Persian emperor who captured a Roman Emperor in battle."
"Our stones answer you".
Report: "A new order for the Gulf", says Iran.
"The Strait of Hormuz will never return to its former state, especially for the US & Israel."
Iran’s parliament has approved draft legislation for:
* a ban on US & Israeli ships;
* restrictions on countries with unilateral sanctions against Iran;
* transit fees to be paid in Iran’s national currency;
* legal cooperation with Oman;
& more.
