While US DOD still dallies on the #Minab killings, @Bellingcat has already analyzed further traces of the strike by #US #military using #tomahawk #missile that took far too many innocent #schoolgirls lives.👇
" #Bellingcat also asked the US Department of Defense whether it had any further information on the strike since its reported preliminary findings. It referred us to CENTCOM, which said: “We have nothing for you on this. The investigation is still ongoing.”"🤦♂️

A channel affiliated with Iranian state television claimed Friday that a #US fighter pilot ejected from their aircraft over southwestern #Iran.
It was not clear what may have happened to the plane, including whether Iran was claiming it was shot down or there was another issue. If the claim is confirmed, it could lead to yet another dramatic escalation in the #war, nearing the end of its 5th week. The #Trump admin did not comment.

The anchor on the Iranian channel urged residents to hand over any “enemy pilot” to police & promised a reward for anyone who did. The channel is in Kohkilouyeh & Boyer-Ahmad province, an intensely rural & mountainous region that spans over 15,500 square kilometers (5,900 square miles).
An on-screen crawl earlier urged the public to “shoot them if you see them,” referring to social media footage circulating of what appeared to be #US aircraft in the area.
The channel showed metal debris in the back of a pickup truck while making the announcement but provided no other immediate details.
Throughout the #war, #Iran has made a series of claims about shooting down piloted enemy aircraft that turned out not to be true. Friday was the first time that Iran went on television urging the public to look for a suspected downed pilot.

The claim came as #Iran fired on targets across the region, setting Kuwait’s Mina al-Ahmadi #oil refinery one fire. The state-run #Kuwait Petroleum Corp said firefighters were working to control several blazes there.
Kuwait also said that an Iranian attack caused “material damage” to a #desalination plant. Such plants are responsible for most of the #DrinkingWater for Gulf states, & they have become a major target in the #war.

The prospect of US pilots being alive & on the run inside Iran during an ongoing conflict greatly raises the stakes for the US in the conflict. Iranian officials called on civilians to be on the lookout for survivors.

Attacks on transport, power & water facilities vital for the populations of #Iran & the neighboring #Gulf countries risk deepening the #war, which has already killed thousands & threatens to cause lasting damage to the world #economy.
Thursday, #Trump posted footage on social media showing dust & smoke billowing up as #US strikes hit the newly constructed #B1bridge between Tehran & nearby Karaj, which was due to open to traffic this year.
"Our Military, the greatest and most powerful (by far!) anywhere in the World, hasn't even started destroying what’s left in Iran. Bridges next, then Electric Power Plants!," #Trump wrote in a subsequent post.
In response, the #IRGC said it would hit "all assets of the Israeli regime & the US in fuel, energy, economic centres, & power plants across the region". It said countries hosting #US bases should make them leave.

THE FACTS: This is a standard #Trump claim. But the #economy he inherited was far from weak. In 2024, the last year of the #Biden presidency, #US #GDP grew 2.8%, adjusted for #inflation, faster than any wealthy country in the world except Spain.

The #14thAmendment says people “born or naturalized in the United States & subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.”
The #Trump admin has long focused on the phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof,” saying that excludes parents living illegally in the #US.
But Wang went directly at that argument Wednesday.
#law #SCOTUS #BirthrightCitizenship #immigration #Constitution #Judiciary #AbuseOfPower #WhiteSupremacy #WhiteChristianNationalism #hypocrisy
#ACLU atty Wang said that the legal focus should be on the newborn: “The question that the #14thAmendment asks is whether the #US born #child is subject to US jurisdiction when they’re born.”

Her point was that the laws eased some of the burdens of what she called “forced motherhood,” even in absence of a right to #abortion.
‼️But under the #Trump EO, abandoned #infants would not be entitled to #citizenship under the #14thAmendment unless they were able to produce evidence that at least one of their biological parents was a #US #citizen or lawful permanent resident.‼️
#law #SCOTUS #BirthrightCitizenship #immigration #Constitution #WhiteSupremacy #WhiteChristianNationalism #hypocrisy
A 1952 #law addressed this problem, though it is not clear whether it would survive a ruling in favor of Trump’s plan. The law conferred #citizenship on #children of “unknown parentage” under the age of 5 who were found in the #UnitedStates unless it was proved, before they turned 21, that they had not been born in the #US.
Notably, the law did not exclude children later shown to have been born to people in the US temporarily or unlawfully.
Chief Justice #JohnRoberts is asking tough questions of both sides. He’s referring to the key 1898 precedent in Wong Kim Ark, which mentions 20X that Wong’s parents were “domiciled” or had permanent residence in the #US. Roberts asks the #ACLU atty if that language can just be dismissed as irrelevant.
Earlier, Justice #KetanjiBrownJackson asked of the #Trump admin atty, “Are we bringing women in for depositions? How are we figuring this out?”
#SCOTUS is taking up one of the term’s most consequential cases∶ Trump’s #ExecutiveOrder on #BirthrightCitizenship, declaring that #children born to parents who are in the #US illegally or temporarily are not US citizens.
#Trump is in attendance. He’s the first

Two police officers with sheepish expressions have handcuffed a woman with zip ties, and are walking her toward transport to jail. It is not clear what the charge might be. What's striking is that the woman is dressed as the Statue of Liberty, with the crown and everything. She is smiling at bystanders as she is led away, deprived of her liberty, knowing exactly how ironic that is.

The #Pentagon is preparing for weeks of ground operations in #Iran, #US ofcls said, as thousands of soldiers & Marines arrive in the #MiddleEast for what could become a dangerous new phase of the #war should #Trump choose to escalate.
Any ground operation would fall short of a full-scale invasion & could instead involve raids by a mixture of Special Ops forces & conventional infantry troops, said the ofcls.

Trump news at a glance: No Kings rallies draw millions to US streets in protest against president
People joined massive rallies across 50 states to protest Trump’s decision to enter war in Iran, immigration policies and rising living costs. Key US politics stories from Saturday 28 March at a glance

#ChrisHedges | 'Iran and Gaza are Only the Beginning' (Chris Hedges at Princeton)
"The hijacking of the Holocaust, the failure to defend Palestinian victims because they are Palestinian, has imploded the moral authority of Holocaust studies and Holocaust memorials. They have been exposed as vehicles not to prevent genocide but to perpetrate it, not to explore the past, but manipulate the present."

The deal is part of a broader #Trump admin campaign to coax countries to accept immigrants who cannot be legally deported from the #US to their home countries because they would likely face persecution. It is also the clearest example to date of the diplomatic horse-trading the US uses to engineer such agreements.

The documents obtained by NYT include confidential #State Department correspondence & a funding memo, which connects the money transfer [#bribe] to the #Cameroon #deportation arrangement.

#Cameroon has, for more than 4 decades, been led by a strongman president, Paul Biya. The #Trump admin opted not to criticize his disputed re-election in October, & said nothing afterward when security forces waged a deadly crackdown on #protesters.
That gave the #US leverage weeks later, diplomats wrote, when it came time to negotiate a #deportation deal.

The person in the costume is dressed as Chewbacca from Star Wars, but the sign they are holding features Donald Trump edited to look like a Galactic Imperial Officer (wearing the distinct grey uniform and cap of the Galactic Empire).
The use of Chewbacca is deliberate here; in the Star Wars lore, the Wookiees were enslaved and oppressed by the Empire, making him a symbol of the "Rebellion" or resistance against an "Imperial Tyrant."

@Guillotine_Jones Same here in deep red rural Missouri, town of around 20,000, 400 folks showed up to protest. Quite a few smaller rural MO towns have had their own protests. It's a process, we're building and growing a movement. We keep building and expanding the frequency and duration, we disrupt, we resist, over and over.
WE SAY NO TO #US #FOREVERWARS
By #Greens Senator #DavidShoebridge
As you will have already seen on your TV screens and social media feeds, the US and #Israel earlier this month launched an #illegalWar on #Iran. It is a devastating escalation, particularly for people across the #MiddleEast who for weeks now have been subjected to continuous bombing.
This should be a moment for #Australia to take a clear stand. To stand on the side of #humanity and #internationalLaw and make it clear we do not support #Trump and #Netanyahu’s illegal war.
Instead, the #Albanese #Labor Government, cheered along by the #Liberals and #OneNation, has committed Australia to another disastrous US-led forever war.
By deploying #Australian personnel to the Middle East and deepening our involvement, Labor is repeating the same catastrophic mistakes of the past. For decades, we have seen the consequences of being tied to the United States’ military machine. #Iraq. #Afghanistan. #Vietnam.
Wars that promised security and delivered destruction. Yet the Labor government remains unwilling to learn from that history.
Rather than charting an independent #defence and foreign policy grounded in #peace and de-escalation, they are choosing to double down on military alignment with the Trump-led US.
And that alignment runs deeper than many Australians realise.
Australia’s integration with the US military and the US industrial base has gone further than most people would expect. We host #USBases on our soil like #PineGap and #NWCape that are critical to US global warfighting. We buy billions of dollars worth of US weapons and have designed our entire military to be “interoperable” with the US.
We have hundreds of Australian personnel embedded throughout the US military. This includes three Australian personnel on the US nuclear submarine that sank an Iranian frigate and left the survivors to drown. Labor plans to have Australians make up 10% of all personnel on US nuclear submarines by 2030, allegedly as preparation for #AUKUS.
That is the reality of AUKUS. It locks Australia’s military into the US chain of command and draws us into US military actions before the public, or even Parliament, has had the chance to have a say.
Which raises a simple question. Who decides when Australia goes to war?
Right now, it is a decision made behind closed doors by a handful of politicians. In fact Australia can be sent to war with the decision being made by just the Prime Minister and Defence Minister.
That is why the Greens’ push for #WarPowers reform is more urgent than ever. We have introduced a new law that would require a #vote of #Parliament before Australians are sent into any overseas #conflict, and we forced it to be debated in parliament this week.
If lives are on the line, it should be the Parliament that millions of Australians elect, not a handful of government Ministers, who make that call.
At the same time as conflict abroad escalates, the Labor government is closing Australia’s door to people who are desperately in need of protection.
In a stark display of tripartisanship, the war parties of Labor, the Liberals and One Nation have come together to pass laws to refuse up to 7,200 #Iranians who already have valid Australian #visas from coming to Australia. The express reason they did this was so none of them could do what members of the Iranian women's football team did, come on shore and make an asylum claim.
It is the height of hypocrisy.
As all this chaos rolls out, instead of calling for peace, Labor has cheered the war on and sent 85 military personnel and hardware into the US warzone. Then they change the law to prevent people fleeing places like Iran from finding safety here. These measures go so far as to block people of certain nationalities from even applying for a visa, punishing individuals for the actions of regimes they are trying to escape.
We must not be a country that profits from and promotes conflict abroad, then turns its back on those displaced by it.
#TheGreens are the only party in Parliament willing to stand against this approach and speak and vote for peace not war. We are the only ones calling for a foreign policy grounded in human rights, international law, genuine independence and the core needs of the Australian people.
We say no to US forever wars and the war parties. We say yes to peace and cooperation. We say no to secret decisions to send Australians into conflict and yes to giving the Australian people a say over this war and every other war. We say yes to a defence policy that defends Australia and does not threaten our neighbours, as part of a broader commitment to genuine human security that is far broader than just guns, bombs and missiles. #auspol #uspol #TrumpRegime #RogueNation

Thank you to every person who had choices about where to protest today, and still chose to add their number to a smaller protest.
Sure, it's absolutely impressive to see Philly, Boston, Chicago, L.A. But what's really impressive to me are the smaller towns with enthusiastic participants. It's different when you don't have a big crowd where you can blend in. Granted, I would like to experience one of those huge crowds to see what it's like, but I will probably always prioritize the smaller communities deep in red territory. They might need me more.
At any rate, I am happy for every person who is a part of this in any way whatsoever.
And thank you, Minneapolis/St. Paul for bearing more than your share, and leading the way. We salute you!
Impressions from today's protest: although those of us who got there early initially panicked at the low early turnout, we needn't have worried. At one point, people were pouring in from every direction. It was clear that this was the biggest protest turnout we have had so far locally. I talked to a very earnest GenZ participant who told me that the ones South of us also saw huge increases in participation.
We had exactly one counterprotestor trying to stir up shit, who left when no one would engage with him. I am 100% sure he will go on FB and claim that "These people don't even know what they're protesting about."
There were no police, unlike every "Hands Off" or "No Kings" protest before. No local cops at all. Two state police cars drove by.
Fun signs and costumes will follow in this thread. I asked every person whether or not they wanted their faces blurred. Everyone said "No," but I thought better of it and covered their faces with stickers anyway.

But the words of the current #US administration mean nothing. One day you are in dialogue for negotiations, the next day your bombed.

RED FUCKING ALERT
The United States is dropping land mines around villages in Iran. Images posted to social media Thursday show what experts said are U.S. land mines dispersed across a residential area in southern Iran, in what appears to be the first instance in more than two decades of American forces using the weapons.
The photos show American BLU-91/B anti-tank land mines, which are released from an aircraft as part of the Gator mine scattering system, according to four munitions experts who reviewed the imagery at The Washington Post’s request. The United States is the only party in the Iran war known to possess the system.
LAND MINES ARE A WAR CRIME! What in the actual fuck are we doing here? This is a violation of law, of sense, and of humanity. Den Hague for everyone involved.

…#Trump admin ofcls have adamantly disputed concerns that the #Iran #war will deplete key US munitions. White House propagandist Karoline Leavitt said this month that the #US #military “has more than enough munitions, ammo & weapons stockpiles to achieve the goals of Operation Epic Fury laid out by…Trump — & beyond.” #Hegseth has asserted the same, telling reporters March 5 that, “we’ve got no shortage of munitions” & stockpiles would “allow us to sustain this campaign as long as we need to.”
#Tomahawk missiles, which can be launched from Navy surface warships & submarines, have been a staple of #US #military attacks since they were first used in combat in 1991 during the Persian Gulf War. But only a few hundred are manufactured each year, meaning the global supply is limited. The #Pentagon does not publicly disclose how many missiles are in its inventory at any one time.

The US-Iran conflict has reached another critical juncture. President Trump has extended the deadline for Iranian compliance to April 7, threatening to destroy energy infrastructure if Tehran does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
The war, which began on February 28 with coordinated US-Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear and military facilities, has already claimed thousands of lives. The humanitarian toll is mounting:
At least 15 killed in strikes south of Tehran
Residential buildings hit in Urmiya
Israeli strikes on dozens of military sites in Tehran
Hezbollah attacks triggering Israeli offensive in Lebanon, displacing one-fifth of the country's population
The economic impact is severe. Brent crude has surged over 50% to $110 per barrel. Fertilizer prices are rising, threatening global food supplies. Stock markets continue to fall.
Mass arrests are sweeping Iran. The Revolutionary Guards report over 100 detentions for alleged espionage for the US or Israel. Media workers, civilians, and suspected operatives are all being swept up.
Diplomacy is uncertain. Iran says it is not negotiating. The US claims talks are progressing. European foreign ministers report indirect contacts and potential direct meetings soon in Pakistan.
What is clear is that civilians on all sides are paying the price. Thousands dead. Millions displaced. Global inflation accelerating. And no end in sight.
