At least 16 oil tankers and cargo ships have been attacked in the Persian Gulf since the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran began nearly two weeks ago, a New York Times analysis shows. Iran has claimed responsibility for several of the attacks.
The diminishment of AIPAC’s power has been a long time in the making, with the Gaza genocide accelerating a longer trend against AIPAC’s ultra-hawkish pro-Israel politics.

A screen grab of Google News, showing the headline of the news*com*au story, which read, 'Six words that got protesters into trouble '. Apologies, I don't wish to send BlueSky readers to the Murdoch press.
Screengrab of the 'Page Not Found' page at news*com*au. Please don't click on this link. It just leads to 'Page Not Found'. But I provide the original link for reference. https://www.news.com.au/national/queensland/news/two-protesters-arrested-under-controversial-antiprotest-laws/news-story/19135e0f6255a02cbc6a8287d7987633&ved=2ahUKEwi9pciisJmTAxVVjK8BHWjyKj4QFnoECCQQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2KKMXbm0oF5zYf_imaVsty
At 09:00 this morning, news*com*au (Murdoch press) reported on the Brisbane woman who was arrested for wearing the 'River' singlet.
She faces a two-year jail term. Australia's democracy is in peril.
By 14:00 the editor at news*com*au deleted the entire story.

Trump: "The market is holding up well. Prices are coming down very substantially. Oil will be coming down. It's just a matter or war. That happens."
Trump claimed Iran hit their own elementary school. 170 children dead. Now Military Investigations show it was a US missile and failed intelligence.
Trump didn’t just lie he blamed the victims’ own country for his own mistake.
This is a war crime cover-up in real time.

As the Albanese government refuses to be drawn on the legality of US-Israeli strikes on Iran, key advisers are seeking to frame the conflict in domestic terms, Jason Koutsoukis reports. satpa.pe/cmkZUhX
In letter to Pam Bondi, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) formally asks Justice Dept to “preserve” its records from its review of Epstein files

Rather than focus on following international law, saving American lives, or planning for the future, Pete Hegseth is worried about “unflattering photos.”
That’s not a joke.
Hegseth needs to go. Immediately.

All of our living presidents who still have a sense of decency gathered to honor Rev. Jesse Jackson.
Respect recognizes respect.
The Crook-In-Chief robs the US of $1.6 BILLION with his (paid for) pardons alone. That's only so far and he's only getting started.
Kennedy: "I was stunned when Noem answered categorically that the president approved every single bit of it. Later that day, I got a call from President Trump. He was mad as a mamma wasp ... she was dead as fried chicken."
Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"
Tragedy and farce, at the same time.
The daily horrors, the sadism, the depravity, only strengthens my resolve to oppose this sick regime with all my energy.
Americans skipped the rally-around-the-president stage this time. JFK gained 13 points after Cuban Missile Crisis, LBJ 8 after bombing Hanoi, GHW Bush 18 during Gulf War, GW Bush 8 after Saddam captured, Obama 11 after OBL killed. Trump gained 0 since Iran. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/06/u...

Trump practically admitted Tuesday he had no plan for evacuations—he didn’t even have a plan for the war itself.
Meanwhile, the State Department has pushed back on claims that it left Americans high and dry. trib.al/cCb3Ypm
