    After the execution of Jamal Khashoggi Europeans boycotted conferences promoting business with Saudi Arabia; After Iran's execution of Rouhollah Zam (an EU resident) it remains to be seen whether they apply those same standards to conferences promoting business with Iran.

    His father was so devoted to Iran’s revolution that he named his son after the regime's founder: Rouhollah. The son turned against the system & leaked the regime’s secrets on SM. He was lured to Iraq from Paris, kidnapped by the IRGC, & today, he was executed.

    One more thing about this unbelievable expose. It confirms what we're seeing in the US. A disproportionate percentage of the people cancelled by the equation of anti-Zionism/BDS with anti-Semitism are Jews.

    If you think you can oppose "cancel culture" without opposing the equation of anti-Zionism/BDS with anti-Semitism, please, please read this

    I've come to have very low expectations that elected Republicans will do the right thing. But even I'm stunned that 106 of them would sign their name to such an insane and embarrassing scheme.

    Hmm. Tehran has gone to great lengths to deprive Trump of a pretext to start war. This sounds more as spin from the Pompeo wing of the administration to start war while pretending it was done in self-defense...

    Just in: The U.S. mil is on heightened alert & boosting its forces in the Middle East to respond to a potential Iranian attack, I'm told. DOD is closely watching “troubling indicators of potential attack preparations” from Iranian militias in Iraq.

    This ultra-blobby oped lost me at paragraph 2. China is only America's "most pressing security challenge" if climate + pandemics aren't security challenges. In other words, if "security" isn't, above all, about keeping Americans alive

    The list of amici in today’s GOP House members’ filing in support of Texas may be the greatest roster of constitutional shame since at least the Southern Manifesto. (1/2)

    Exactly right. Entirely possible this becomes the new normal: If you win with Black and brown votes, Republicans will reject the results.

    106 Republican congressmembers and 18 Republican attorneys general are insisting that a presidential election ought to be invalidated because their party lost. It’s being treated as no big deal because they won’t win rather than the harbinger of constitutional collapse it is.
