Regime change is clearly our aspiration, though not one we’re likely to execute. Trump hopes this ⬇️ paves the path for regime opponents to take back Iran. He may be creating conditions for civil war, fragmentation or a less capable version of this regime instead. 1/

What do you do if you suspect a reviewer used AI to do the review? (hallucinated citation, inverted conclusions)

A plea to reviewers: If you are going to recommend rejecting a manuscript after 3+ rounds of revisions, can you at least do so in a timely manner?

This insight is exactly what's missing in the major media reports about Israel already limiting aid to Gaza, just one day after 'end of war' celebration. Cruel and scandalous:
During Gaza negotiations, Israel understood it would take time to recover all bodies of deceased captives. A specific mechanism for recovering the bodies was agreed. Now Israel is pretending that didn’t happen so it can violate the deal and cut the agreed aid shipments in half.

Israel. In fact, the number one killer of LGBTQ+ people in Gaza is Israel. Thousands and thousands dead.
Replying to @LevineJonathan
Who executes more LGBT people — Israel or Uganda? @ZohranKMamdani ?

Do you support an immediate end to all aid to Israel? Will you fight anti-boycott laws in your states? Will you ask that your employer boycott Israel? Will you demand your cities and states divest from Israeli bonds? Will you stand up for student protesters? What will you DO?
For the liberals who have come around to recognizing Israel's genocidal campaign, what are the implications besides Stop? Do you all support the war crimes prosecution of US citizens serving in the IDF? How does it shape your understanding of the Houthi leadership in Yemen?

When we set up the Columbia encampment, mass graves were being uncovered in Gaza's hospitals. Now, as Columbia capitulates to Trump and vows not to divest, Palestinians are starved to death & shot by the IOF at aid sites daily. There are no words for this level of depravity.

ما معنى #الديمقراطية بالنسبة إلى الناس في الشرق الأوسط وشمال أفريقيا؟ تظهر نتائج استطلاع الباروميتر العربي أن الناس يتطلعون إلى الديمقراطية ليس بصفتها نظام انتخابي فحسب، إنما أيضًا – وبالأساس – كوسيلة لتحقيق #الكرامة الشخصية. المزيد من النتائج التفصيلية: bit.ly/4lCmwws

#Israel *never* did this throughout the 13yrs when #Assad’s regime killed 500,000 people using bullets, bombs, chemical weapons & more. That speaks volumes.
NEW - footage shows #Israel’s strike just now at the entrance door to #Syria’s Defense Ministry, caught on live TV.

‘Humanitarian city’ would be concentration camp for Palestinians, says former Israeli PM Ehud Olmert says forcing people into camp would be ethnic cleansing, and anger at Israel over Gaza war is not all down to antisemitism theguardian.com/world/2025/j…
