Suicides increased fivefold when adolescents on the waitlist were told they would be permanently waitlisted.

45 kids and untold relatives of these kids are now grieving.

And still they are like, but wait, we don't have enough evidence.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

That is because they were NOT with the counter, despite Tisch initially describing them as counterprotestors. They ran up and threw an IED, failed to throw another.

Media is saying ISIS with reason: As one was picked up following arrest, he said β€œBy God’s will, the Islamic State remains.”

Failed to add context here: This phrase is an ISIS slogan.

This situation does not smell like a hoax or an op. It does smell like teens radicalized online and groomed into wanting to commit a legitimate act of terrorism on behalf of ISIS.

March 8, 2026 - Tehran at sunrise today. But the sun is hidden behind a sky filled with smoke. After a night of intensive strikes on oil facilities, thick black clouds now hang over the city, turning morning into something that feels like night.

the U.S. military has been undermanned for years, we are absolutely unready for any kind of meaningful conflict. i imagine the regime will back out before they try to force a draft. it would not go well for them.

The quote skeets and replies are blaming Republicans for the lack of literacy and I must once again tap my sign that the Democrats and Democrat-leaning institutions were primarily the ones responsible for nonsense whole language reading instruction curriculum like three-cueing.

When I watched a smiling Lionel Messi applauding Trump’s cartoon villain bloodlust, I thought about Muhammad Ali going on international television to deliver his poem condemning the Attica prison massacre, telling the world that fascists would never conquer the human spirit.

i don't care about any arguments against this. right now the sum total of my political advocacy is: crush the Republicans and make them pay. i don't care what comes after because until we do that nothing better is possible.

Evidence Grows That Google's AI Overviews Have Eviscerated the Media Industry Google's AI overviews have eviscerated the media landscape, with some top publications losing up to 97 percent of their web traffic.

Welp. The internet had a nice run.

Some outlets have lost over 90% of their traffic since the "AI" summaries rolled out.

"...the four worst-hit publications [now] get less monthly web traffic combined than the r/ChatGPT subreddit gets on its own."

By our count at @prospect.org they have killed at least 28 people since Trump's second term started.

They clearly committed a war crime, but we've been watching an active genocide for years at this point, as well as watching the US commit *other* war crimes in the Caribbean in addition to murdering both citizens & immigrants on our own soil & no one with any kind of power is doing jack shit so

Before you share that story about how troops were told the Iran War is for "Armageddon," read this The narrative is dramatic. The sourcing is thin. And skepticism matters, especially on something this serious.

I agree with a lot of this, worth reading:

They are running through our defensive stockpiles and our advanced offensive munitions at such a rate that very soon nothing will be left. Then it's just boots on the ground and dumb bombs left to us.

One thing seems clear from all the hasty mobilizations of U.S. military units and the realities of our ongoing ammunition crisis: the Trump Admin has completely hollowed out our capacity to defend ourselves or our allies in order to help Israel in murdering Iranians.
