Iran fired a salvo of missiles and drones on Monday at Israel while also warning the United States that its military has been given a “free hand” to attack American targets in the wake of the Trump administration’s massive strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.
Israel said its defense systems were operating to intercept the threat, apparently targeting north and central areas, and told people to head to shelters.

Beyond the harms inflicted on those detained and deported, the ICE raids are bringing fear into the lives of millions of adults and children all over the USA.
I hope that one day the people who held up these signs will feel ashamed of having helped put this evil afoot.

The image shows a ginger and white cat lying on its back on a light green fabric surface, likely a couch or ottoman. The cat's body is relaxed, with its legs stretched out and one paw raised in the air. Its fur is a mix of white and ginger, with distinct patches of each color. The cat's paws are visible, showcasing pink pads and a hint of fur. The cat's eyes are open, and it appears to be looking at the camera with a calm expression. The background is minimal, with a hint of a wooden floor visible in the upper right corner. The overall scene is peaceful and captures a moment of the cat's leisurely behavior.

Il Trans-Arabian Pipeline avrebbe dovuto ovviare a Hormuz, ma non credo che in zona ci siano attori politici disposti a accordarsi per riaprirlo.
Ich bin so froh, dass wir endlich einen Kanzler der klaren Worte haben! Kein anderer Staatschef spricht so offen und deutlich über jenen, dessen Namen wir nicht nennen und über das, was begonnen und getan wurde – dort, wo man lange zugeschaut hat, bis es nicht mehr ging, oder jedenfalls nicht mehr gehen sollte.
Anders als andere benennt Merz das Unbenennbare, ohne es auszusprechen, und stellt sich damit auf eine Weise hinter das, was nicht einfach war – aber notwendig erschien.

in reply to Jonathan Emmesedi • • •The image depicts a crowded indoor event with a large group of people holding signs. The signs are predominantly blue with white and red text, reading "MASS DEPORTATION NOW!" in bold letters. The signs are held up by individuals, some wearing lanyards and badges, indicating they are attendees of the event. The crowd appears engaged and focused on the signs, suggesting a rally or political gathering. The background is filled with more signs and people, creating a sense of a large assembly. The overall atmosphere is one of activism and political expression.
