The Guardian: A world on edge as Trump bombs Iran and triggers war in the Middle East. There was no need for this, by Simon Tisdal.
If you want an extract from that article:
"Despite all the hate-mongering, mutual ignorance and disinformation, the vast majority of Americans and Iranians are on the same side. Their common foe is tyranny. Their leaders are the problem. There is no need for this fight."

A world on edge as Trump bombs Iran and triggers war in the Middle East. There was no need for this
We cannot know where this foolish, reckless attack will end – but new hatreds will be seeded, terrorist vendettas sown and, ultimately, little will be achieved, says Guardian foreign affairs commentator Simon Tisdall

Flesh and blood alone cannot halt the advance of iron and steel.
To stop the tanks, we need people to place blocks on the road
and throw sand into the gears.

To Outlive Tyranny - Dissent Magazine
Flesh and blood alone cannot halt the advance of iron and steel. To stop the tanks, we need people to place blocks on the road and throw sand into the gears.

Trump has a plan for the midterms, and ICE is a big part of it. He wants violence on our streets this year, because he thinks it will give him a pretext to attempt to “cancel” the election. So he’s pulled all guardrails off his masked thugs and given them the green light to be as abusive and cruel as possible, in the hopes that they’ll incite the American people to violence. That’s Trump’s plan.

The biological necessity of boredom in the age of screens
Neurologist Richard Cytowic argues that attention is a finite energy budget, and modern life is engineered to exhaust it.

The biological necessity of boredom in the age of screens
"I call it a tyranny of attention because there's so many demands on our attention coming from so many different directions that we are simply overwhelmed and we don't have the mental bandwidth to cope with it."

No justice, no peace! No ICE on our streets!

No Kings Day! No Tyrants! ↔️ tyranny skating on sod #KarmaManager #anagram

note: links to post of #ice shooting video.
As horrid, tragic, and fascist as this day's news has been... the one bright spot around here is that people are learning about why federated, peer distributed, and non-corporate platforms are essential for our democracy.
We used to all* believe that this was what made the corporate platforms special, but that was just a fake, a feint, and ultimately, a fascism.
sharing this video is democracy, freedom,
resistance.
Spread the word! The #SocialWeb will fight this tyranny!
*tbf: some folks saw the writing on the wall better and a lot earlier than the rest of us. Respect to them.
