You have to be kind of an idiot to think they won't eventually point this gun at anyone who criticizes Israel or the Palantir Reich, regardless of whether they were a natural born citizen or not.

I think you should reasonably to be able to expect to seek peace and support in the country that created the unstable situation for you in the first place, yes.

At any rate the effect of these asylum seekers on the hospital system in the U.S. pales in comparison to the private equity vampires stripping it for parts while getting abject dummies like you to blame "the migrants."

The problem is that they've been convinced the reason everything in our lives is increasingly shitty is down to hordes of 6-year-olds with leukemia who've crossed the border for free medical care. It couldn't be more obvious that this is a scapegoating operation being pushed by the ultra-wealthy who are gaining from widening precarity and exploitation. But a "solution" that involves just inflicting a bunch of harm to the powerless is inherently more appealing than wresting control from the powerful, which will involve real work & sacrifice.

FEMA is actually involved, so we have achieved the prophesied outcome of Trump building domestic FEMA camps while Alex Jones cheers it on.

It's not just this administration, it's been essentially open season for fraud in the U.S. financial system ever since 2008. If you're a hoi polloi dentist who makes $100,000 trading options off of some insider info then yes, there are SEC cops on the beat who will come after you. Otherwise, you can pretty much do whatever you want until & unless a whole lot of people lose money, at which point it's too late.

Iran has been amply demonstrating their missile capabilities on the city of Tel Aviv for the past week.

And then actively facilitated an Israeli sneak attack that murdered Iran's chief nuclear negotiator.

Israel did that, are you okay with it?

Either they believe it is no longer necessary, or they are facing some other set of constraints that is making it less feasible.

MAHA

Disinformation is a standard weapon for both sides in any major conflict but I’ve been following closely and haven’t seen this. Do you have links to either of these things from official Iranian sources?

There’s no need for AI to show the devastation in Tel Aviv, it’s real enough.

lol this is nonsense, let’s see them

I don't understand how the NYT, which is well known for having done the U.S. security state's bidding in fomenting regime change in the region in the past, would have access to actual Iranian officials and internal workings like this.

Butlerian Jihad tonite queen?

Either these problems are fixable, and the institutions involved have simply decided not to fix them for some other reason, or they are not. The latter case would imply some kind of grossly ruinous effects from climate change, which those same institutions seem to be expressing no particular urgency to address.

I'm just repeating the woman's own words, but see nothing off base in that part of her perception of the situation.

How strictly is the veil still enforced? After the U.S./Israeli sneak attack I saw video of a woman on the streets of Tehran, with no veil, loudly demanding that the Ayatollah lift the fatwa on developing nuclear weapons so that Iran could defend itself from further aggression. She didn't seem to be in any fear of reprisal or consequences.
