Pentagon Report: U.S. Military Fired Missile at Elementary School in Iran A U.S. military β€œtargeting error” triggered the killing of at least 175 at a school in Iran, the highest civilian death toll in Trump’s war.

Despite attempts by Trump to claim otherwise, the U.S. military was responsible for killing at least 175 in a strike on a school in Iran.

JUST IN: Democrats flip a seat in the New Hampshire state House.

Dem Bobbi Boudman has won today’s special election, NHJournal reports.

(Boudman was the Dem nominee in 2024 & lost by 14%; Trump won here by 9%.)

This is Dems’ third legislative flip so far this year, after Texas and Arkansas.

β€˜I wish I could push ChatGPT off a cliff’: professors scramble to save critical thinking in an age of AI As AI has upended the way students learn, academics worry about the future of the humanities - and society at large

I'm one of many professors quoted in this report from Alice Speri. I really appreciate The Guardian taking an angle which has basically eluded every other major outlet.

I do have to wonder if this is a sign alongside Noem's canning that Miller's influence is waning. At the very least it is the recognition that this is deeply unpopular on top of the least popular war America has ever been involved in and the GOP is about to have a reckoning.

I spoke with an attorney who has been representing Epstein's survivors for decades: β€œTheir focus instead appears to be on the important people β€” powerful people that are contained within these files and protecting them instead of protecting who needs the protection."

all these clinical decision support systems sold as ways to "make healthcare more accessible" by scaffolding it with an automated agent are always also vehicles for redirecting/deferring patients away from actual human doctors and medical resources. they're actuarial tools designed to titrate access

Any claim that the US is "almost done" in Iran is just a lie. Things are continuing to escalate.

By analyzing records obtained by @deportationdata.org, I found that the total number of people who have experienced ICE detention in the first 9 months of the Trump admin amounts to the population of a mid-sized city.

It's definitely this and not the co-opting of our government by the billionaire and millionaire class of Epstein aficionados.

Definitely this and not the fascism endemic in the GOP and the third way conservatism of establishment Democrats.

Like, when I say we need accountability, I mean that these people need to spend time in prison for the historic levels of fraud, graft, and erosion of our Republic.
