🗓️ Exactly six weeks ago on Saturday 28 February, #Iran fell victim to a regime-imposed internet blackout that remains in place after 1008 hours, now entering day 43. The censorship measure's harms grow daily, damaging livelihoods and violating Iranians' digital and human rights.

"Jeffrey Sachs delivers a blistering assessment of Donald Trump, arguing that the president’s leadership and use of power raise serious concerns about the state of American politics.
Sachs describes Trump in deeply critical terms and argues that the larger problem goes beyond one individual. He says Trump is also a symptom of what he calls a deeply corrupted political system, pointing to presidential war powers, Congress, checks and balances, and America’s long-running foreign policy.
Sachs also sharply criticizes media coverage of Trump, questioning what he sees as the normalization of increasingly extreme rhetoric and decisions. He challenges journalists and political leaders to ask harder questions about presidential power, accountability and the consequences of America’s foreign policy.
The wide-ranging discussion touches on Trump’s rhetoric, Iran, presidential authority, Congress, the security state, media coverage and the broader political system in Washington.
Watch the full remarks and hear Jeffrey Sachs’ forceful assessment of Donald Trump and the state of American democracy."—The Financial Express

Tja, habe den #Hashtag „Wasserkrise“ zur #Klimakrise ja bereits länger im #Fediverse etabliert. Wir Menschen werden ihn im 21. Jahrhundert zunehmend brauchen… (Seufz)
#Wasserkrise in #Iran
Staatsmedium warnt vor »nationaler #Katastrophe«
Die #Dürre in Iran erreicht dramatische Ausmaße. In mehreren Landesteilen wird das #Wasser für die Bevölkerung bereits rationiert. Präsident Pezeshkian erwägt angeblich eine #Evakuierung der 15-Millionen-Stadt #Teheran.

#Trump flew out of Turkey on Wednesday night on the old #AirForceOne instead of his new #Qatar - donated Boeing 747-8 as a security precaution related to the resumption of hostilities with #Iran, according to people briefed on the plans, who said the change came at the urging of the #SecretService. The swap deepens questions about Trump’s rushed retrofitting of the new plane.
I am waiting at #Tehran’s so called Rapid Bus Transfer station for half an hour and not a single bus came.
Public transport is being sacrificed so terrorist regime can shuttle its mercenaries to Karbala in Iraq for an ideological spectacle.
This is what the Islamic Republic looks like in practice: not anti-imperialist dignity, not popular resistance; but a militarized state that abandons ordinary people, strips public services bare and turns the city into a stage for its own propaganda!
So he wanted the straits open and now he’s blocking it? And boarding ships that already passed through? For what?
I underestimated the amount of stupid in that house. Please America, stop being cowardly dickheads and do something about this.

If you are a European Union citizen, there is a concrete way you can support a peaceful resolution in Iran and Gaza: you can demand the full suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement in view of Israel’s violations of human rights.

Wurde heute gefragt, was ich als Pro - #Bundeswehr von „fünf Prozent #Verteidigungsausgaben“ halte. Habe geantwortet, dass ich es für #Wahnsinn halte, dass wir weiterhin fossile #Gewaltenergien aus #Russland, #Iran & #Katar importieren & damit die Bedrohungen immer stärker machen… 🔥🤔

Kait walks through what she found out about Bill Barr’s family, and when combined with Cliff’s personal experiences in New York with those connected to the Barrs—and his background in #history of #US. intelligence—they put some serious puzzle pieces in place. You’ll never look at the #Trump ’s corrupt-as-Tammany-Hall-on-meth DOJ the same way again.
Because they go By the time the conversation reaches #Epstein ’s so-called “suicide,” Kait offers a third option nobody on in monopoly media will say out loud. Ever. This is the episode you send to the friend who still thinks “it’s all just a coincidence.”

The latest round of #protests in #Iran is large, significant and sharp. We shall hope and see if the people of Iran have success this time
Here's a little #socialMedia wrinkle and it is amazing
#Women have been lighting pictures of the #Ayatollah on fire, and lighting cigarettes with it
Burning photos of the supreme leader is a serious offense
Women smoking is restricted
Not a single (mandatory) #hijab to be seen

#TheCryptocalypseChronicles: Trump's Transition Team Is Tethered To Thievery (And Worse)
How is it that money managed by the chair of Trump's transition team keeps showing up in the hands of drug cartels, terrorists, and fraudsters?
This is a "follow the money" deep dive into how Howard Lutnick manages roughly $100 billion for #Tether. Together they've created an offshore legal fiction by which neither bears any responsibility if that money ends up in the hands of sanctioned countries like #Iran or #NorthKorea or international criminal organizations like #PigButchering frauds and weapons markets.
Which is exactly where it ends up pretty much constantly.
For bonus points $40 billion of those dollars came from Sam Bankman-Fried's FTX.

Der Sicherheitsrat des #Iran stoppt aus Angst vor Unruhen die vom Parlament beschlossene Verschärfung des #Kopftuchgesetz. 🇮🇷
Ich kann es nur wiederholen: Würden wir den Import der fossilen #Gewaltenergien Erdöl & Erdgas in die EU beenden, so wären #Ressourcenfluch - Regime wie #Iran, #Russland, #Katar samt Terrorgruppen schnell am Ende.

I'm not content warning this, it's just a #woman in her underwear. Also, that would be irony
This is #Tehran’s Islamic Azad University on Nov 2
She was assaulted by #Iran's #morality #police because her #hijab was "improper"
So she just stripped
She was arrested and I don't think it will go well for her. Iran's weak, insecure, moronic hangups over #women's clothing is vicious cruel and violent. They kill women for showing their hair. It's all so fucking stupid
I think it’s time we revive the #notInMyName hashtag
I most certainly do *not* stand with Israel, Mr Starmer
#israel #gaza #iran #palestine #genocide
*edit* it’s been pointed out to me that this picture is from October 2024, and as such potentially doesn’t reflect current diplomatic relations between the UK and Israel. Thanks to @elaine1helen for the tip. My bad for not checking first.

Exactly!!! Obama’s team had a deal which was working. #Iran was contained. Any journalist not reporting this -as Tony says -should fucking resign

#Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps #IRGC threatened to retaliate in the wake of the #US attack on Iranian #nuclear sites. In a statement carried by the Iranian state news agency IRNA, the military body said the vast number of US bases in the region were not a point of strength, but rather a vulnerability. The Guards Corps added that #Iran retained the right to respond in self-defense & said the US would “await regrettable consequences.”
Something you won't see discussed re: the #USA striking #Iran : spillovers.
What might happen next:
- the USA strikes North #Korea
- #China escalate the East China Sea & South China Sea issues
- China attack #Israel & #US allies to protect its interests in Iran
- The #AxisOfEvil activates
- China can also choose to escalate the war between #India and #Pakistan
- there is still the war between #Russia and #Ukraine
You won't see it discussed because #PacificAsia & the larger #AsiaPacific don't matter to most people saying their piece about the wars in the #MiddleEast .
Now that the USA joined the war against Iran, we are now dangerously close to #WorldWarIII #WorldWar3 #WWIII #WW3 , it all comes down to the next action of the freaking colonial mentality USA and superstitious China (a.k.a. Dragon Emperor myth).
Dear World,
A lot of us here in Insanity Land did not vote for Trump and strongly disapprove of his actions, including his dropping of bombs on Iran .
