    If true, this seems to be very much not good, for vary many reasons:

    A new lawsuit filed in Washington, D.C., alleges that the Trump administration is divulging details of Iranian asylum seekers to the government of Iran.

    Lawyers with the left-leaning Public Citizen Litigation Group argue that the administration began sharing information about the applications with Iran in March 2025. Since then, U.S. government officials have "periodically mailed or hand delivered immigration files of Iranians" in immigration custody to the Iranian government, according to the complaint.

    They will find every single way to be stupid, cruel, and wrong. I've never seen anything quite like it.
    Super villains in movies can be that cruel but never simultaneously so stupid.

    Decision was made for “expediency,” under pressure to provide targets at start of conflict, per 2 sources. But it also directly contributed to accidental strike on the school, sources added. “The Pentagon is pressing everyone to move faster,” one source said. “A lot of former hedge-fund people & made-for-TV personalities in the mix. But leadership at CENTCOM did not push back either.”

    The US deported 54 Iranian nationals — including Christian converts, ethnic minorities, and political dissidents — back to the Islamic Republic in late September, despite several of those on the plane insisting their lives were at risk upon their return.

    It'd be nice if we could do some official acknowledgement and even an apology. I appreciate the gesture from Sen. Kennedy, but he can't speak for the country. We can't ever make it right, but Trump makes it worse with his selfish behavior.

    what needs to happen is Pete Kegsbreath and the other criminals being charged with war crimes, but that will never happen

    an apology for blowing up 200 little girls is basically nothing IMO…makes it sound like an oopsie…you don’t even have to mean it when you offer an apology, and we know this regime won’t

    if Iran blew up some all-girls school here, it would be mayhem

    I don't disagree. Offering an apology is the barest little gesture. Does nothing to bring back the little girls, remediate anything for the families, bring justice for the crime, or anything. It would cost the US nothing at all, and our reputation would improve not lessen from it. As you say, you don't even have to mean it. And still Trump can't do this tiny act of humility.

    A leaked photograph showing a Palestinian detainee blindfolded, stripped to his underwear and severely restrained has caused anguish for two mothers in Gaza.

    While the Israeli military has acknowledged the photo is genuine, it has not identified the man or disclosed where he is being held.

    The photo was originally posted on Instagram by a user whose account appears to have since been deleted. It featured the words “good morning” written in Hebrew.

    The Israeli military said it had identified the incident and that an inquiry was under way. A spokesperson quoted by Reuters said that “those involved will be dealt with in accordance with the findings” and said that the treatment depicted in the photo “does not align” with the military’s values.

    Abu Nassar said that from the moment she saw the photo two days ago, she knew it was her son Osama.

    “I know the details of his body. He has swelling in his foot and scars on his leg – the same swelling on his left leg I saw in the picture,” she told Reuters.

    She said that was the first image of him she had seen since he was arrested in March in an area near ⁠the so-called “Yellow Line”, demarcating Israeli control within Gaza.

    His arrest on March 19 gained international attention because he was detained along with ⁠his one-year-old child, who was released the same day with what his family said were cigarette burn marks on his legs.

    His mother said Osama suffers from mental health issues and that a “normal person would not take his son to that area” near the “Yellow Line” where Israeli forces frequently open fire on Palestinians.

    this is who we give money and weapons to and go to war for
