US responsible for deadly missile strike on Iran school, preliminary inquiry says Strike that killed at least 175 people, most of them children, reportedly the result of a targeting mistake by US military planners

As I posted when it first happened, I knew that US missiles struck the Minab school. Publicly available imagery and even Pentagon press announcements provided more than sufficient proof (despite Pentagon denials).

Now, everyone is seeing the truth.

ICE’s investigative arm is now probing Arizona’s elections Arizona's AG said the probe was "based on nothing but conspiracy theories and lies."

So subset of boycott supporters took it upon themselves to declare the Target boycott over but the people who actually started the movement have spoken out today no one talked to them and the boycott lives. 🧡

Re supposed end of the Target boycott: it’s 100% bullshit. See statement below from an *actual* leader of the initial DEI boycott.

Even if true (to repeat, it’s not!), it’s not up to any small group. Target has fixed nothing + compounded its DEI sins with ICE complicity. People are done with it!

As YouTube prepares to be the Oscars' broadcast home starting in a couple of years, I can't think of a better way to prepare than compiling and promoting a curated collection of high quality copies of all public domain Oscar winners.

Miscarriage Is Increasingly Dangerous for Women in Texas, Our Analysis Shows. Here’s How We Did It. Using seven years of hospital discharge data, we found that the number of blood transfusions during emergency room visits for first-trimester miscarriage shot up by 54% since Texas banned abortion.

Our analysis, which shows that more women nearly bled to death during miscarriage after Texas banned abortion, adds to a growing body of reporting revealing that maternal outcomes have gotten worse under bans.

Fuzzy memories and hard facts: An SC accuser's claims against Epstein, Trump examined An alleged victim of Jeffrey Epstein gave FBI agents true accounts of her time growing up in SC. Claims she made about Donald Trump remain unsubstantiated.

"A woman who claims she was abused as a minor by both Epstein and Trump has given the FBI vivid accounts that include aspects of her life corroborated by the The Post and Courier through public records ... she claimed Trump forced her to commit a sex act on him sometime around 1984."

At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

This is some dark, sick shit. Our kids deserve a better country than this. We all deserve a better world than this. We have no choice but to defund and dismantle DHS and ICE, and prosecute every ghoul who brought us to this terrible place.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

The United States had a deal that could have prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.

Donald Trump ripped that deal up and got nothing in return.

Withheld Jeffrey Epstein files with accusations against Trump released by justice department The Department of Justice said the released files had been

'FBI documents summarising interviews with a woman who made unsubstantiated claims of sexual assault against Donald Trump have been released as part of the...Epstein files.'

Might we, in 2026, just have a wee bit of a think about how and why claims of sexual assault might be "unsubstantiated"?

An insane warlord facing death contemplates invading Persia as his last hurrah and has enormous issues with supply lines, treacherous foreign allies, and rising debts. Is it Phillip II or Donald Trump? Take the quiz!

I understand. I don't understand why they do it. I never buy anything from Amazon or Walmart or Target or a lot of other places, and I don't have trouble getting what I need.

If it’s true that the United States bombed an elementary school and killed scores of children it is an unfathomable crime. I have never been more disgusted to be an American.

Republicans just OBJECTED to funding FEMA, TSA and the Coast Guard. They’re holding them hostage to extract more $$$ with no accountability for Trump’s rogue ICE/CBP operations.

No doubt now who’s responsible.
