US will urgently deploy THAAD air defense batteries in Israel, @ynetalerts reports; deployment will reinforce defenses against Iranian ballistic missiles. This is another signal that Israeli action in Iran is expected to be very forceful & likely trigger Iranian response.

This tells us two things. Israel is likely to attack Iran soon, and the iron dome can do jack shit against Iran missiles (also they might be out of interceptors)

Interesting piece on Phenomenal World: Adaptation in the Sanctioned Economy: Domestic manufacturing, overcapacity, and the limits of Iran’s economic resilience , it shows how despite the belief that sanctions resilience is entirely a matter of state capacity and state policy Iran's private sector actually invested a TON to fill the space left by foreign manufactured products, like washing machines, to the point where they're even building too much of this stuff so the government can be faulted for not influencing these sectors to allocate capital appropriately.

Also interesting is how these big private firms believe that they can actually do well in the sanctions environment, so they lobby the government AGAINST lifting import bans even if economic sanctions are also lifted, so there's another point against the american sanctions regime as a useful behavior changing tool even by its own terms.

Dem-Rep relations really looks like a toxic relationship

Democrats to everyone else: I hate his fascist ass. I never want to see him again. Every since cell of me hates him with burning passion. I will kill him on sight

Democrats to Republicans: please baby let us be together. You want to kill black people, queer people and immigrants and enslave woman? We could do that together. I could even get a swastika tattoo on my forehead for you. I love you baby please don't leave me every second we spend apart feels like pure agony and torture

israeli occupation forces are implementing General’s Plan for ethnically cleansing Palestinians from northern parts of #Gaza.

𝑮𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒍’𝒔 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒏 𝒊𝒏 𝒃𝒖𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒕 𝒑𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒔:

▪️The israeli occupation military is enacting a plan that will effectively ethnically cleanse the Palestinian population in northern Gaza after a siege that could last months.

▪️Conceived by retired israeli Major-General Giora Eiland, the plan aims to empty northern Gaza of its 400,000 residents to make way for a “closed military zone.”

▪️The plan calls for the ethnic cleansing of northern Gaza, warning that those that remain will face starvation.

▪️"The right thing to do is to inform the approximately 300,000 residents who remained in the northern Gaza Strip… we are ordering you to leave," Eiland said last month.

▪️"In a week, the entire territory of the northern Gaza Strip will become military territory."

Saw the Bill Maher video. With each day that passes they get more confident in showing themselves being proud genocide supporters, without an ounce of shame.

However, with each day that passes violence against them also becomes more and more likely and morally acceptable, it is completely justified. They think they're safe saying and doing all that, they think this is the 1990s where you could say whatever the fuck you want and fear no retribution. But little do they know, the world they built (that runs on blood), the system they desperately hold onto, is slowly fading away and a new one will be born. A pathetic zionist like Maher might escape the swift act of Justice, but the genocidal system he helped build and maintain will not.

Never forget who they are and what they did in our times. Memory is important if we want to build a future for ourselves. They've exposed themselves, they've shown their true self, now we must do our part and remember them for when our time comes...
