Climate change doesn’t mean everything is warmer all the time.  Climate weirding is a better term for it.

Cuba 🇨🇺 has just recorded its lowest temperature on record this morning, with 0.0°C (32°F) at Indio Hatuey. This marks the first time in recorded history that the country has officially reached the freezing point. pic.twitter.com/7jgDiGP7XD

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

A global call to take action in angry marches and pressure activities against the continuation of the aggression and genocide against our people in the Gaza Strip.

In the face of the fascist occupation government’s continuation of its brutal aggression against our people in the Gaza Strip, through the escalation of raids and continuous barbaric bombardment, the practice of the most heinous crimes of systematic murder by blowing up and destroying the tents and homes of innocent, unarmed civilians, and persisting in deepening their worsening humanitarian suffering;

In light of war criminal Netanyahu’s government continuing to violate the ceasefire agreement consistently and deliberately on a daily basis, evading its obligations before the mediators, showing contempt for international laws and norms, and flagrantly violating all humanitarian values and principles;

We direct our call in the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) to all people of living conscience and free people in our Arab and Islamic nation and the world, to take urgent action through all forms of solidarity marches with our people and our just cause, and angry marches in cities, capitals, and squares around the world, against the fascist occupation government’s continuation of its unjust aggression against our people in the Gaza Strip.

Let the coming days, especially Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays of every week, be a continuous and escalating global movement; expressing the voice of the global conscience and its free cry against the occupation, aggression, and genocide against our people in the Gaza Strip, in which all forms of popular pressure are exercised against the occupation government to stop its brutal aggression, adhere to the ceasefire, and immediately begin opening the crossings, providing relief, and reconstruction.

‼️🤔 Iran Standoff Escalation

This is my off-the-cuff theory for what has happened in the past two days:

First of all, CENTCOM threatened Iran about the drone observation of Carrier Strike Group 3. Never mind that the US ships are in international waters and the drone is flying in international air space.

Then, the Israelis reiterated their hardline terms for Iran, which include: no enriched uranium, no nuclear program, and dismantling of the ballistic missile program and stockpile.

The Iranians then apparently responded with hardened terms of their own, and informed the US that it was no longer interested in a multi-party meeting in Istanbul on Friday, but it would meet US envoy Witkoff in Oman for a bilateral discussion.

I suspect all of this was interpreted by Washington as it ought to have been: the Iranians are calling the US bluff, and have no interest whatsoever in negotiating away their nuclear program and their ballistic missile program.

Therefore, Greasy Pete Hegseth probably texted Rear Admiral Todd Whalen (commander of CSG-3) and told him to shoot down the Iranian drone as an expression of displeasure with the Iranian impudence.

Anyway, this is just a working theory, but it seems consistent with the events of the past 48 hours.

The idea behind the attacks is to weaken the government's authority, making the people convinced that the country is overrun by cells of terrorist and hostile movements.

This creates and amplifies a paranoia that corrodes everything from civilian organizations to military… https://t.co/Dde7yrwY5o

The last nuclear arms control treaty expires in 3 days and almost nobody in Washington is talking about it.
