I have nothing nice to say about theocratic rule (which quite frankly, is a disease all three countries involved in this story are suffering under) but the idea that Iran is the bad guy here when we started this war with a gutless sneak attack and have been targeting civillian infrastructure on the regular? Is nonsense. Western exceptionalist bullshit.

When you bomb people? They fight back. And pretending they're the bad guys for fighting back is basically a rapist's logic.

Happy Tyrannicide Day! March 15th commemorates the assassination of would-be tyrants and serves as a reminder that the most powerful men cannot claim absolute immunity for their crimes.

A suggested reading for #TyrannicideDay... "Gaetano Bresci: Tyrannicide and Defender of the People" is a 2018 essay from @CrimethInc on the man who assassinated King Umberto of Italy, declaring: "I did not kill Umberto. I have killed the King. I killed a principle."

Israel’s renewed war on Lebanon is about more than just Hezbollah

After violating the ‘ceasefire’ 10,000 times, Israel is once again pounding Lebanon as its enduring thirst for war drives ever expanding ambitions.

Fundraiser for released anarchist prisoner, Casey Brezik

After 15 years in prison, anarchist political prisoner Casey Brezik has come home!

He is adjusting well, and psyched about life, but needs help to get started.

Living expenses and basic needs can be difficult to meet without a job, connections and experience moving through this technology-driven, end-stage-capitalist reality.

Anything you give will help ease the labor and anxiety that anyone would be dealing with after nearly two decades in a highly-controlled, hyperviolent carceral system.

Happy Birthday to Élisée Reclus (1830-1905), the French geographer and anarchist who transformed geography with his 19-volume work. His mutual aid theories helped form the basis of anarcho-communism, inspiring generations of reformers.

Jurors have reached a verdict for 9 defendants regarding the Prairieland Detention Center noise demonstration in Texas.

This case marks the first time the government has filed terrorism charges against “Antifa." Legal experts have been raising alarms over prosecutors’ theory — arguing defendants, including some who were not even at the demonstration, are part of an organized criminal “Antifa cell” and broader conspiracy.

The first charges in the Prairieland case were filed weeks after the Trump administration designated antifa as a domestic terror group last September.

The nine defendants faced a total of 65 outrageous charges that include attempted murder, aiding terrorists and weapons charges.

Canada’s ally Israel is the one bombing civilians, civilian infrastructure and UNIFIL personnel, and Canada has done absolutely nothing even change its relationship with Israel, let alone cut ties or do anything remotely helpful

RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:r3ngajgzafbo3qubommvjeqd/post/3mgpxblo77c24
Israel intends to bomb all bridges on the Litani river, cutting off south Lebanon. At this rate neither UNIFIL nor the Lebanese army would be able to operate. Israel says they want Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah while being the ones weakening the state. Again: the goal is to destroy Lebanon itself.
