Iran accuses EU of acting as Israel’s ‘apologist’
The spokesperson of the Iranian Foreign Ministry has accused the European Union of acting as an “apologist” for Israel after the bloc’s foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas raised concerns over Tehran’s nuclear programme.
In a post on X, Esmaeil Baghaei directly addressed Kallas, urging her to “please stop acting as the aggressor’s apologist”.
He also said: “How can you express concern over Iran’s peaceful program that is under the most robust IAEA inspections and ignore the fact that the Israeli regime has a huge arsenal of nuclear weapons?!”

I am pro Ukraine... Iran is a Russian ally. Iran is the enemy of Ukraine. How they backed their sorry ass into this shiti corner is a them problem. They are far from a vicitm in any sense of the world. They blew their geo political load on supporting proxy groups which got rolled easily and quickly. Iran under invested into conventional army and israel is about wipe the remaining capabilities. This is a leadership issue, they fucked up. Now they will be punished for it. I just hope they do some serious damage ot Israel first.
A lot of pro Gaza people around here can't seem to understand that most western support for Gaza is just that support for Gaza. Nobody likes a clown theological regime in Tehran anymore than the Zionist savages in tel Aviv.

Trump Mobile's made-in-US iPhone 17 competitor is really made in China
The Trump Organization has launched Trump Mobile and plans to release the T1, a smartphone that it says is "made in USA" at the same time that the iPhone 17 will launch. The problem is, the phone was made in China.
Marking ten years after the launch of Donald Trump's original presidential campaign, the Trump Organization has decided to launch its own mobile phone network. Dubbed Trump Mobile, it is a network that is being promoted as an All-American service," and heavily leaning on the Trump brand.
While the launch of a new mobile phone network will certainly draw an audience of Trump followers, it feels more like a cash-in on the Trump brand rather than a real attempt to take on the U.S. mobile market.

"How does New York effectively address the crises in affordable housing, education, crime, drugs, transportation, childcare, and many more?" said Sanders (I-Vt.) in a statement. "The answers will not be easy, but one thing I do know: They will not be solved by a Democratic establishment dependent on super PACs funded by billionaires who could care less about the needs of working families. We need a new politics and new leadership which is prepared to stand up to powerful corporate interests and fight for the working class."

Ex-Sen. Bob Menendez set to report to federal prison for 11-year bribery sentence
Former U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez is set to report to federal prison on Tuesday to begin serving an 11-year sentence for accepting bribes of gold and cash and acting as an agent of Egypt. The New Jersey Democrat has been mocked for the crimes as “Gold Bar Bob,” according to his own lawyer.
Menendez’s lawyers revealed in court papers last month that he is expected to be housed at a facility in eastern Pennsylvania that has both a medium-security prison and a minimum-security prison camp. Given the white-collar nature of his crimes, it’s likely he’ll end up in the camp.
Pleading for leniency, Menendez told a judge at his sentencing in January: “I am far from a perfect man. I have made more than my share of mistakes and bad decisions. I’ve done far more good than bad.”
Menendez has also appeared to be angling for a pardon from President Donald Trump, aligning himself with the Republican’s criticisms of the judicial system, particularly in New York City.

Federal Prison is basically the country clubs of prison. It’s where all the white collars go.
But atleast its prison, he deserves it.

For some chronic illnesses. Yeah. But imagine that for life. And that’s the best you feel. It can get worse. Sometimes for long periods, you don’t know if you will get back even to the that “shitty best you feel”. And even at your best, you barely feel a fraction as good as a healthy person.
You don’t get to feel okay your birthday, or on christmas, or when you need to do something special. You just feel ill, like a bad hangover or bad flu, in perpetuity.
That’s the reality for a lot of severe chronic illnesses.

LAPD faces federal lawsuit for alleged attacks on journalists during protests
The groups noted that after the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests, California approved Senate Bill 98, which stipulated press rights amid protests.
Additionally, press groups noted that LAPD officers were given training following the 2020 protests on how to work safely with journalists.
"The investment in the training was in the millions, and some of the training has indeed been put to use by officers. But recent events have made it clear that the need for re-training is high," the National Press Club said.
The lawsuit seeks to stop the LAPD from engaging in unconstitutional acts against journalists.

Israel issues Tehran evacuation order as Iran threatens to leave nuclear weapons treaty
Israel issues Tehran evacuation order as Iran threatens to leave nuclear weapons treaty
Order similar to those issued in Gaza a further sign Israeli campaign is evolving towards war of attritionJulian Borger (The Guardian)
It's ironic that Israel's stated pretext of wanting to prevent Iran developing nuclear weapons with its declaration of war basically guaranteed that they will have them now.
Iran was always vary of economic sactions and potencial military attacks from western countries and while they actively worked on stockpiling non-weapon grade uranium they never crossed that line. Now that fear is moot. Now every single Iranian was shown that no matter what the world says or does they will always be seen as second-class humans by western world and the only deterrent is nuclear weapons (see North Korea, Pakistan). Just look at the reaction of skirmishes between India and Pakistan. World openly begged them to stop the attacks instead of encouraging it.
So while these attacks might delay the development of weapons, it can't be stopped. As military experts and US own plans shown that even most powerful US bombs are not powerful enought to destroy these nuclear facilities that are carved into the mountains.
War criminal Netanyahu in hopes of clinging to power through endless war fucked over every single Jew for many decades to come. Enjoy the consequences of enabling genocide and proping up a war criminal.
America had open borders until 1924. Racism and corporate greed changed that.
While much of the news coverage has turned toward the US president’s mobilization of the military and what that means for his growing authoritarian tendencies, this is only half the story. To fully understand what is at stake in the protests, we can’t lose sight of the thing that drove people to protest in the first place: a violently unfair immigration system that is an affront to us all.It is worth noting that this immigration system is not an original component of US governance. Whereas the first government under the US constitution formed in 1789, there were no federal immigration laws until the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, and even this law was limited in the sense that it banned a specific class of immigrants. The US did not have closed borders until the Immigration Act of 1924, which established national origins quotas across the board.
The primary justifications for these early immigration laws were xenophobia, eugenics, and overt racism. By the 1990s, however, multinational corporations understood that closed borders – especially combined with free trade agreements freeing multinational companies to shop around for “cheap” workers, while at the same time constraining the options of workers to move around and look for better jobs – were a powerful weapon in their arsenal to squeeze ever more profit out of global supply chains. While cleverly hidden behind discourses of “security” and “sovereignty,” our immigration system is actually a scam rigged to guarantee an upward flow of wealth at the cost of human rights.
The North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta) illustrates this dynamic. Signed in 1992, Nafta created a free trade zone among Mexico, Canada and the US, specifically making it easier for goods, capital and corporations to move freely while conspicuously ignoring the movement of workers. Far from an oversight, as the scholar Bill Ong Hing has written, this was the whole point of the agreement.

Georgia brain-dead mom kept alive under abortion law, gives birth via C-section
Smith’s mother, April Newkirk, tells 11Alive that Chance, a baby boy, was born prematurely last week by emergency cesarean section. The infant weighs about 1 pound 13 ounces and is in the NICU.
Smith has been kept medically alive since February 19, when she was declared brain dead at eight weeks pregnant due to blood clots in her brain. Her family says doctors kept her on life support due to Georgia’s abortion law, the LIFE Act, which doesn’t clearly address cases of brain death, but causes confusion in medical environments. News of her condition made national headlines as she was kept on life-support while pregnant, and her family railed against the decision.
