#Iran, #Israel, and the #Crisis of #Legitimacy https://www.thenation.com/article/world/iran-israel-war-nuclear-power-2/
#Falk discusses how #strike weakens #negotiations, reflects Israel’s extensive strategy of deflection, and indicates a larger crisis of legitimacy for both Israel and #allies. Falk argues that strike may deepen entrenchment of #US-Israel ties while eroding international norms and escalating #civilian suffering.

I'm just aghast at the rewrite of history!
The #Allies dropped nuclear bombs on #Japan to stop the #Axis from destroying many more than the 55M+ lives they already had.
YES, we all - as the Allied fighting force - slogged through EVERYTHING that it would mean to drop nuclear weapons on Japan - but it was it was done to save the many.
Now, it's "wrong" to stop Iran from creating their own nuclear arsenal to destroy non-Islamic peoples. 🤔
#Iran chose this path.
I just don't understand.
As it's #PrideMonth, it's important to note that we should also be grateful to #allies, such as myself. Without people like me, there would be no Pride at all. Think about all the straight people whose job it is to provide permits for parades.
Of course, celebrating the queer community is important, but if Pride is for everyone, then we should also celebrate hardworking #allies like me.
I once had a colleague who was #homosexual and I wasn't even frightened of him at all. That takes #courage.
#Canada dropped plans for the #G7 to issue a strong statement on the #war in #Ukraine after resistance from #Trump….
Canadian PM #MarkCarney said Ottawa would provide C$2 billion ($1.47 US billion) in new #military assistance for Kyiv as well as impose new financial #sanctions on #Russia.
A Russian attack overnight on Kyiv & other cities that killed at least 18 people "underscores the importance of standing in total solidarity with Ukraine," Carney said.
#Trump refused to sign a #G7 statement on #Ukraine
Ukrainian President Volodymyr #Zelensky will
leave the Group of 7 summit on Tues w/new #aid from host #Canada for its #war against invader #Russia but without a joint statement of support from members or a meeting with Trump [lucky Zelensky].
The G7 nations struggled to find unity over the conflict after Trump expressed support for Russian President Vladimir #Putin & left a day early.

#Trump has posted on social media:
We now have complete & total control of the skies over Iran. Iran had good sky trackers & other defensive equipment, & plenty of it, but it doesn’t compare to American made, conceived, & manufactured “stuff.” Nobody does it better than the good ol’ USA.
This statement is indicative of the #UnitedStates directly engaging in the #Israel #Iran #war. He has also NOT consulted US #allies—despite just being w/them—& is acting unilaterally.

@GuidoKuehn Irgendwann wird sich die regierende CSDU mit den queer-hassenden braunen und blauen Ultras vertragen, weil letztere beim Regieren gebraucht werden.
Leute, unterstützt die Queer-Community, schützt Menschen, bleibt laut.
Trump’s argument on Monday was even more remarkable given that he returned to the summit 3 years after #Russia escalated the aggression that got it ejected in the first place—launching an unprovoked #invasion of #Ukraine in 2022, w/similar goals of seizing its territory.
The scene on Monday illustrated how even more aligned #Trump has grown w/the Russian #autocrat since his first time in office, & how alienated Trump has become from #US #allies who have rallied around Ukraine.
“I would say that was a mistake, because I think you wouldn’t have a war right now,”#Trump said
And with that, Trump’s troubled history w/the #alliance repeated itself. When he attended the summit the last time it was in #Canada, in 2018, he called for #Russia to be readmitted….The suggestion angered & appalled #allies, setting of a rift before Trump left early, telling reporters on his way out: “They should let Russia come back in. Because we should have Russia at the negotiating table.”
#Trump Renews Embrace of #Putin Amid Ongoing Break With #Allies
[Despicably,] Trump opened his remarks at the #G7 gathering of industrialized nations by criticizing the decision to expel #Russia from the bloc after Moscow’s 2014 “annexation” of Crimea.

Headline: Texas-based American Airlines stands behind LGBTQ-friendly policies
WFAA - June 13, 2025
"American Airlines Group Inc. remains committed to the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index, a measure of LGBTQ+ friendliness, even as other major companies have dropped out.
Fort Worth-based American (Nasdaq: AAL) is one of the few companies that has participated in the index every year since its inception in 2002. The airline has consistently earned a perfect 100% score for all 22 years.
But a recent shareholder proposal, from the conservative National Center for Public Policy Research, argued American should withdraw from the index, claiming it has resulted in financial repercussions and that its involvement aligns the company with "radical transgender activists."
American’s board unanimously urged shareholders to vote against the proposal. In a proxy statement, the board wrote that it has received substantial positive feedback from shareholders for its transparency about participating in the index and other human capital issues, and that pulling out of the campaign would not add any value to the company.
