The Lawlessness of Trump’s War in Iran The ferocity of U.S. and Israeli attacks has raised questions about whether the two countries are even attempting to minimize civilian casualties.

"What is so troubling here, among many things, is the almost celebration of the violation of the rules"

The Unbearable Lightness of Signalgate Nearly a year after a national-security scandal erupted on my iPhone, no one in the Trump administration has faced consequences.

The men and women of the armed services deserve so much better than this middle school chat thread of an administration.

The thrill of walking into a room where no one sounds like you and loving it.

The first bite of a spice you can’t name (yet) and wondering how you lived without it.

Art that stops you cold because it tells a story you’ve never had to live.

Trump’s Reckless Decision to Pursue Regime Change in Iran And the risks Democrats face if they fail to strongly oppose his war.

On Trump's original sin in Iran: "It showed Iran, and frankly showed the world, that you cannot trust the United States. And I have to say, Joe Biden squandered an opportunity to rejoin that agreement and to re-start that channel."

On this week’s Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, Conan joked to Denis Leary that growing up, the only thing to see in Worcester was a bunch of armor in an abandoned office building.

Well… the armor’s moved (you’ll now find it at the Worcester Art Museum), and the city? It’s completely transformed.

We cut the endless scrolling and built a clean, beautiful interface that serves up simple ideas for what to do right now. No research rabbit holes. No decision fatigue.

We made Dayyo because we love our cities. And lately, they’ve needed a little more love.

We also built a dynamic events engine to surface the can’t-miss moments: games, shows, concerts, pottery classes, reading series, experiences that only happen once.

When we built Dayyo, the goal was simple: get more people out into their cities supporting local businesses, championing the arts and fueling the neighborhoods that make urban life electric.

It has been 127 years since the creation of the first juvenile court, based on the straightforward concept that youth are not miniature adults and have a capable growth mindset.

After Davos Trump chickened out. Now Europe needs to press its advantage.

"I would liken Donald Trump to a ten-year-old boy who has discovered a flame thrower in his parents’ backyard, and has come to realize that he can burn up anything he wants with it. He’s now actively looking for other things he can set on fire." www.persuasion.community/p/after-davos

The Military Is Being Forced to Plan for an Unthinkable Betrayal Attacking an ally would be a perversion of everything the armed forces have been trained to do.

Congress must act. The Danes and the rest of our NATO partners have served more admirably in service of America than Trump ever has.
