Disappeared bodies, mass burials and ‘30,000 dead’: what is the truth of Iran’s death toll?
Testimony from medics, morgue and graveyard staff reveals huge state effort to conceal systematic killing of protesters
In some cases, the killings bore the hallmarks of executions. Medical workers at forensic facilities in two different Iranian towns described receiving bodies with close-range gunshot wounds to the head that had been transferred from hospital morgues while still attached to catheters, nasogastric tubes or endotracheal tubes.
“This is highly suspicious,” Ahmadi says. “As a rule, foreign medical instruments are removed after death. Their presence suggests that these individuals died while still under active medical care.”

Smells like a TACO's cooking in regards to that 100% tariff on Canada. Canada's response has been, is, and will continue to be the same: "FUCK OFF!"

Exploring the conversations around the 1936 Olympics should be interesting...as should be attendance figures. I suspect that this World Cup will draw many comparisons across the world.

The National Transportation Safety Board holds a meeting on the probable cause of a collision that happened one year ago between an airliner and Army helicopter over the Potomac River in Washington, DC. All 67 people aboard both aircraft were killed.

"Republicans deliberately made the new tax cuts retroactive for the 2025 tax year, and the Trump administration didn’t immediately change paycheck withholding formulas. Those decisions concentrated tax cuts into this year’s tax-filing season, providing lump sum windfalls before the election."
In other words, they had taxpayers overpay throughout year and now the government is simply returning the overpayment. But without interest for time value. Make no mistake, a refund is not government generosity, it's the return of principal on the interest-free loan you made to the government.
