βThe Feb. 28 strike on the Shajarah Tayyebeh elementary school building was the result of a targeting mistake by the U.S. military.β
At least 175 were killed, many of whom were just little children.

NEW: A recently developed Defense Department program was meant to reduce civilian harm during military operations.
But months before the Iran war, the mission was dissolved as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made βlethalityβ a top priority.

Today Iowa Gov Kim Reynolds signed a bill banning local govts from protecting transgender residents against discrimination in civil rights ordinances.
Last week, @repaime.bsky.social spoke forcefully against what she called the "enhanced civil rights removal act." www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFuY...

Satisfying to see @davidjbier.bsky.social absolutely dogwalk Sen. Kennedy here.
Kennedy is so far gone he doesnβt even seem to realize the βBlue-skiβ posts heβs reading are the consensus view of most Americans and not some Marxist smoking gun or something.
Something to hide?
πΆHuffines... Has it! πΆ
I know a few of y'all hear it.
Gabe Rench is a member of Christ Church Moscow and his brother co-owns Canon Press with Doug Wilson's son.
Donald Trump Jr. is in communication with people at Christ Church Moscow and attended a PAC in Boise with them.
This is bigger than you think.
Christian Nationalism *is* our government.
Every time a woman runs for president I hear that sheβs too emotional and unstable to make wartime decisions, unlike the men in charge who make really reasonable decisions like bombing kids to death, starting water wars, and poisoning the entire planet
What a shameful exercise in performative religiosity and piety π³
Iranβs people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
I canβt believe how stupid everything is
Slyngstad always gets it rightβ¦
RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.
You have the right fellow in this case. He's also very New Apostolic Reformation (NAR))/ Seven Mountains Mandate too, if you follow those things
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

The kid who died was in the car with his best friend... Who himself died in a car crash last month before being able to give testimony? Fuuuck that's awful. These two young men had so much ahead of them.
Also yeah, the fuck did Mom think she was voting for? But it's easy to attack her. Abolish ICE
Oof $100? What's the chance it's AI slop as opposed to human made slop?
If war is hell, we ought not make more hell on earth.
The fuck kind of answer is this
Noem busy designing the logo for this nonsense to go with custom vehicles and outfits. It will be a whole new thing we have to pay for.
Your statement is true, but we've got a few generations now of home/private school kids that were explicitly taught that's a lie. Laws are only as effective as the people who enforce them.
It's a lot faster to say god did it than it is to acknowledge all the human efforts and freak accidents that got us here. It's the stupidest tldr/tlwr.
More of this, hold her accountable!
Neguse demolishes Noem (2/2)
The Federal Book Ban bill uses funding threats to pressure schools to remove books.
Federal control over local policy - and federal control of reading, writing, and publishing - is unacceptable.

I fully believe that. It's been a long time since I cast a ballot in Texas, but mostly I remember a machine a small booth with no descriptors or information about any of the issues. I felt so blind, like I should just guess. Texas doesn't seem to want voters.
