First, Israel cut Gaza’s last internet cable—blacking out 2.3 million people.

Then it bombed Iran with no UN approval, no imminent threat.

As eyes shift to Iran, Israel will escalate its ethnic cleansing in Gaza—and create more regional instability.

47's beef with China is personal, based on his own business dealings, and I cannot believe we gotta bear the brunt of this shit because grown ass people don't understand why addressing conflicts of interest with corporate titans who want to run the country is important.

Calling China “peasants” as an insult and expecting it to end well is somehow maybe the most clownish thing this administration has done. Christ, what absolute fools.

ICE has abducted an Iranian mechanical engineering doctoral student at the University of Alabama.

thecrimsonwhite.com/120415/news/...

A UA student was reportedly detained by the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement early Tuesday morning.

Alireza Doroudi, a doctoral student from Iran studying mechanical engineering, was reportedly arrested by ICE officers at around 5 a.m. at his home on Tuesday.

According to a message sent in a group chat that included Iranian students Tuesday, Doroudi entered the U.S. on an F-1 student visa issued by the U.S. Embassy in Oman in January 2023, after clearing all immigration checks. The message said Dourodi had his visa revoked six months after his arrival in the U.S.

“After receiving the revocation notice, Alireza immediately contacted ISSS [International Student and Scholar Services] at the University of Alabama,” the message said. “ISSS replied with confidence, stating that his case was not unusual or problematic and that he could remain in the U.S. legally as long as he maintained his student status.”

There’s so many conversations about and around trans people with absolutely NO trans people in the room to contribute. It’s so stupid.
To openly posture yourself as the authority on anyone’s lived experience and fundamental existence is CRAZY work.
Why does this keep happening on BOTH sides!?
