I am once again reposting this absurdly useful essay from Tim and Kate, because not enough of you have read it.
Images verified by Human Rights Watch show Israel fired white phosphorus in populated areas of southern Lebanon.
Israel has killed tens of thousands of Palestinian women and girls in its genocidal war on Gaza.
On International Women's Day, we look at the number of women and girls Israel killed in Gaza in 2025.

New video footage shows a US Tomahawk missile hitting an IRGC facility in Minab, Iran, on Feb 28, showing for the first time that the US struck the area. The footage also shows smoke already rising from the vicinity of the girls’ school, where 175 people were reportedly killed, including children.
A lot of the comments to this post claim that Rubio is contradicting himself here, but "leadership change without regime change" is just what the US did in Venezuela.
Change the dictator, keep the dictatorship.
This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

Capitol Hill Republicans are about to confront a staggering price tag for Trump’s Middle East war.
Some GOP lawmakers are hearing estimates that the Pentagon is spending as much as $2 billion a day.
CCTV video showing the moment a missile struck next to a boys’ school in Iran’s Qazvin, causing panic amongst students and staff, has been released by IRGC-affiliated media.
Iran blamed the attack, which reportedly took place during the first day of the war, on the US and Israel.
This is a real video from the official White House account on a war that is currently killing people. I don’t know how the US is going to come back from this.
The post was “JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY. 🇺🇸 🔥”
"The US-Israel war that began over Tehran on Saturday has since spread, city by city, into a sustained assault on civilian infrastructure, military sites, and daily life"
"hundreds of casualties...including women, children...Emergency wards filled beyond capacity."

"I had to punch that guy because I could tell he was going to hit me back once we jumped him" is just a description of jumping a guy
"What has changed compared to previous oil crises and oil price scares - even the 2021-22 one - is how affordable the clean energy solutions needed to replace oil and gas imports are."

Rubio: “Let me tell you, Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.”
Como es habitual en las guerras en Oriente Medio.
Viñeta de Carlos Amato.
President Zelenskyy:
In three days, Middle Eastern countries have fired 800+ missiles for Patriot systems. Ukraine has never had so many missiles to defend against [Russian] strikes.
An industry petition criticizing the EU’s core climate policy implied its demands were supported by some 1,350 companies and associations.
Now some firms deny they signed up.
EU foreign policy is a mess because the Lisbon Treaty is a mess. Hence EU “high rep” title not EU “foreign minister.” Member states want the EU to be strong and speak with one voice but hesitate to make the trade: control (sovereignty) for strength. And the end result is they get neither.
Anyone who says Trump is playing 5D chess with geopolitics is as much of an idiot as he is.
Map showing Dahieh in red and orange
The IDF just ordered the forced evacuation of *all of Dahieh* a day after ordering the forced evacuation of all of South Lebanon.
Israel is taking advantage of the focus on Iran to destroy Lebanon
A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.
Seems to me that perpetual gas and oil crises might be avoidable if we replaced them with more locally sourced non-depletable resources. There might be other benefits too. Just a thought. 🤷

Limor Son Har Melech and her husband Yehuda in their Purim costumes.
Purim costumes:
MK Limor Son Har Melech, deputy speaker of the Knesset and member of Jewish Power (Ben Gvir's party), dressed up as an executioner, to celebrate the death penalty law her party are pushing (with government support, to apply only to Palestinians).
One of the worst massacres I can remember
'once projects are given a chance to embed, it’s only a small percentage of people who keep ranting on about such projects. Few to no political voices advocate ripping out projects (with some exceptions to populists). The general public acceptance grows over time'
