An amazing stat:
Iran exported more oil *today* than it did daily before the war.
It's the one country whose tankers are getting through the Strait of Hormuz.

"Yes, building less dangerous cars and more forgiving roads would help address the US’s sky-high tally of roadway fatalities. But another way to save lives deserves far more attention than it gets: Stop forcing Americans to drive so much." @davidzipper.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Trump's refugee resettlement explicitly maximizes preferences for white South Africans while cutting off virtually all resettlement from places that Trump describes as "shithole countries." Ethnic reengineering is literally baked into policy!

I loaded up one of my own drafts into Grammarly, and once again clicked the “expert review” button. As before, Grammarly seemed to be looking for “inspiration” from the experts who would be certain to hate this feature the most. There were tips from a phony Timnit Gebru, the prominent AI ethicist who is among the world’s most vocal critics of how AI has been developed and deployed; and from Julia Angwin, the New York Times opinion writer who has overseen numerous investigations into how tech systems degrade privacy. I had hoped to find myself among the suggested reviewers, but in my tests today Grammarly spared me that indignity. You can’t choose a specific reviewer in the product; instead, you can refine your suggestions by clicking automatically generated topic tags. Once when I did this, Grammarly offered to show me hallucinated experts in “media ethics,” and the force of the irony was sufficient that I had to briefly lay down.
100% the inclusion of @timnitgebru.bsky.social in Grammarly's fake "expert review" feature was a bit of slimy, acidic trolling from some juvenile AI dudebro. Just unbelievably nasty

Plenty of money for bombs, but no money for helping people. This is the American way.

On the one hand, this is massively dystopian, foretelling an end to all of our livelihoods. But on the other (more important) hand, I could not have invented a better anecdote to illustrate my book’s thesis.
"A Lebanese Maronite Catholic priest has been killed in southern Lebanon when an Israeli artillery tank fired on a house March 9...
Fr. Pierre al-Rahi... had earlier refused... to obey an order by the Israeli military to evacuate the Christian village of Qlayaa..."

“Of the 102 antisemitism complaints … all but one focused on speech critical of Israel. Almost 80% of the complaints cite criticisms of Israel or Zionism without any mention of Jews or Judaism as evidence of antisemitism, and approximately 50% of the complaints consist only of such allegations”

SEVEN. That’s how many strikes hit near the Iranian girls’ school.
Video shows a tomahawk missile hitting a building next to the school. The kind of “precision” you get when an incompetent administration runs a war on outdated intelligence.
Don’t look away —we should all see the deadly destruction
"The goal of the visits is to intimidate."
"[T]argeting of Extinction Rebellion [..] is tied to the administration's broader assault on climate policies."

An Islamophobic think tank may have helped someone write a terror indictment, but nobody helped whoever wrote this headline and summary, which contain two glaring typos
A federal judge appointed to the bench by Donald Trump issued a 111-page ruling Monday, finding that the president's own immigration enforcement machine likely ran an unconstitutional racial profiling operation targeting Black and Latino Minnesotans.

Last year Trump slashed funds for healthcare & food programs. Now he's spending $1 BILLION PER DAY on his war of choice in Iran.
While millions here at home can't afford their basic needs, Trump is spending billions on a regime change war that's making us less safe.
“It is a war against people,” says Amnesty International Secretary General Agnès Callamard, who is calling for the school massacre to be investigated as a war crime.
lmfao. honestly, get our asses.
No notes
Reporter: “You said the war is almost complete, but your war secretary says this is the beginning. Which is it?”
Trump: “You could say both.”
He is talking out of both sides of his lying mouth. The war isn’t over. The markets were falling so he is trying to calm down investors.
