Now Anthropic is fighting Trump officials not over if, but how The standoff between Anthropic and the Pentagon has forced the tech industry to once again grapple with the question of how its products are used for war – and what lines it will not cross. Amid Silicon Valley’s rightward shift under Donald Trump and the signing of lucrative defense contracts, big tech’s answer is looking very different than it did even less than a decade ago. Anthropic’s feud with the Trump administration escalated three days ago as the AI firm sued the Department of Defense, claiming that the government’s decision to blacklist it from government work violated its first amendment rights.

Video appears to show U.S. cruise missile striking Iranian school compound The seven-second video was released by Iranian state media and directly contradicts statements made by President Trump, who said Iran was responsible for the strike.

The Iranian girls’ school was hit by a US tomahawk cruise missile. NPR has confirmed the footage.

A girls school in Iran had a website filled with photos of students at work and play. The building was destroyed in a strike on the first day of the war reut.rs/4dgaRC6

Post from Drop Site News claiming Bellingcat geolocation confirms U.S. Tomahawk missiles struck a girls’ primary school in southern Iran, killing around 180 people, most of them children, with an embedded tweet describing footage of the strike.

Further confirmation of what Trump keeps denying and what Hegseth won't admit to. It was the U.S. that struck that girls’ school.

UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE.

In their remarks, neither Pete Hegseth nor Dan Caine this morning addressed the girls school that was bombed.

They did not get A SINGLE QUESTION about it from people they called on in the room loaded with right-wing hacks.

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 The kind of “precision” you get when an incompetent administration runs a war on outdated intelligence.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

Trump continues to lie 🤥 about 🇺🇸 bombing that girls school, even with video evidence

No Dementia Donny and MAGA freaks, Iran didn't kill 175 young school girls. YOU DID!
