After a series of fatal strikes involving civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress directed the Pentagon to reduce civilian casualties as part of a 2019 law. During the Biden administration, the Defense Department created the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response initiative. The civilian mitigation teams – cut by 90% by Hegseth – work with military commanders on target planning, and making sure that targets are actually military sites. The teams help come up with "no strike" lists, including religious and cultural sites and schools

I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children.

This is learned today:

Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%.

California has had about the average amount of rain expected for this time of year, but snowpack is half of normal and melting fast.
This is absolutely evidence of #climatechange.

I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.

Sure. This is normal. He's fine. Why do you ask?

Duckworth: "If they're gonna retaliate, this is all on Donald Trump. He decided to do this."

Note: the phrase "700,000 people" refers to 700,000 actual human beings who have been forced to abandon their homes, flee, live in fear and worse.

babe, babe, wake up. new "stop the testing" just dropped.

US responsible for killing Iranian schoolchildren. Trump previously blamed Iran. New reporting confirms American Tomahawk missiles destroyed Shajarah Tayyebeh school on the last day of February. The president earlier said he “just doesn’t know enough about it.”

The United States is responsible for killing at least 175 people, many of them children, in a Tomahawk missile strike on an Iranian elementary school on the last day of February.

Donald Trump has previously suggested, without evidence, that Iran was responsible for the strike.

Donald Trump calls Thomas Massie a traitor for supporting the release of the Epstein Files.

Journalists need to start asking Trump what he is trying to hide.

Chevron’s hometown paper is quiet on climate. Guess who owns it? The Richmond Standard has little to say about the gas flares, haze, and smoke plumes that shape life in its California community.

FBI warns Iran aspired to attack California with drones in retaliation for war: Alert The warning came in a bulletin that was reviewed by ABC News.

The FBI thinks you are fucking stupid. Iran has zero capability to cross the Pacific and sea-launch a drone attack on California. This is too fucking dumb for me to comment on further.

Missouri Man Said DNA Test Could Prove Innocence. He Was Executed Before a Court Ruled. Lance Shockley died by lethal injection last year. State courts have rejected prisoners' requests for DNA testing in recent years.

"Shockley, a man on death row in Missouri, wanted items from the crime scene to undergo DNA testing."

"[I]n Missouri, courts have made it particularly difficult to access that testing, even for those facing imminent execution."

RFK Jr’s pick to review Covid vaccines authored misleading research, experts say HHS calls MIT professor ‘more than qualified’ for advisory panel and calls ‘attacks’ on him ‘politically motivated’

“Dr Levi has made a number of easily disproved statements about his baseless belief that mRNA Covid-19 vaccines are harmful, despite having little or no education, training or experience in public health”.

My quote. Hence I could not be happier that ACIP will not be discussing COVID19 vaccines.

YouTube Bans 'Jeopardy!' Host's Podcast Over 'Hate Speech' “YouTube should be embarrassed,” Ken Jennings’ co-host said.

It's now making the news...
www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/you...

Youtube has banned Jeopardy! Host Ken Jennings' history podcast, Omnibus, because in 2019 (seven years ago), he did an episode debunking the racist and deeply antisemitic "Protocols of the Elders of Zion."

That's right... debunking a rabid hate-fueled conspiracy theory is grounds for being banned.

Dozens of U.S. service members in Kuwait suffered serious injuries, including burns, brain trauma and shrapnel wounds, sources say About 30 U.S. service members remained hospitalized Tuesday after an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait.

None of us can trust that our government is speaking truth. – but imagine being a loved one of a service member hanging on every empty word.

The moms risking arrest to protect gender-affirming care for trans youth The government wants to ban the care nationwide. Hospitals are shutting down treatment. Parents just want it all to stop.

Getting arrested was terrifying, she said; but so is being a parent of a trans kid right now.

This Latina mom, who's also a nurse practitioner, worries what will happen to her daughter if she can’t access gender-affirming care anymore. That's why she took the risk.

Analysis Suggests School Was Hit Amid U.S. Strikes on Iranian Naval Base

But even that requires we accept the US military, with its insane surveillance powers, didn't know it was fenced off from the military base 10+ years ago. NYT reporters figured that out with open-source information, but the biggest military in the world couldn't?

www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/w...

Military investigators are reportedly saying the US hit the school and that "outdated data" might be to blame. Even if that's true, "error" feels like an overly generous term for people who ordered missile strikes without even knowing what they were hitting.

Maaybe... I know Anthropic is talking about how it has ethics and cares about human rights, but, bottom line, these people took $200 BILLION in contracts with Trump's government and specifically the War Crimes department... and that is just not something *ethical* people would do.

as someone who monitors right wing media, its under discussed right now but i can tell you conservatives are absolutely terrified of the way talarico is using religious messaging against them

The DHS Attorney who had a viral public meltdown in court at the height of the ICE occupation because it was too hard to follow court orders is now running for Congress as, get this, a Democrat. If we can learn what district she is running in, we can ask why she signed up to keep folks detained.

I Look Forward to Receiving My Government-Funded Ice Cream Machine & Bucket of Crab Legs On Monday, a federal watchdog revealed that the Defense Secretary burned through $93 billion to use up the Pentagon’s budget by the end of the fiscal year in 2025. Must be nice!

A foreign hacker likely has the Epstein Files.

The best way to prevent blackmail of government officials, such as trump and Howard Lutnick, would be for AG Pam Bondi to stop the cover up and release all the Epstein Files as required by law.
