At least 217 killed in Israel’s Lebanon attacks as Beirut, south, east hit Lebanon's Hezbollah group urges Israelis to evacuate border areas as Israel continues to bomb the country.

The death toll in Lebanon is rising rapidly. I fear this will domino into a major global conflict.

A @nytimes.com visual investigation suggests that it was US missiles that hit the girls school in Iran. Note: it's hard for reporters to go on-site and assess the evidence rn. @reuters.com report also says US launched the strike.

Death toll in Iran surpasses 1,000 as Israel-US strikes continue A funeral for the country's Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been postponed amid explosions.

Anyone who thought the Iran War would be a quick conflict is sadly mistaken. Over 1000 dead so far. Hospitals and schools struck. I fear this could quickly spiral out of control.

Umm, isn't it Congress' job to declare war?

Over 700 people have been killed in Iran, per the Red Crescent Society. I'm not sure what Trump was thinking... but of course bombing a country of 92 million people would lead to deaths. I don't think Americans really understand the scale of this war.

Why Independent Product Testing Is Harder to Find YouTube video by RTINGS R&D

Review site @rtingsdotcom is putting up a paywall on its website to access product testing data. One thing I learned while at CNET was that reviewing products is expensive. AI regurgitating that data (sometimes incorrectly) means less clicks for sites.

Austin 6th Street shooting: Second victim identified as UT Austin student The Austin Police Department identified two of the victims killed in a deadly shooting at a downtown Austin bar on Sunday morning. One of the victims was identified as 21-year-old Savitha Shan

Savitha Shan, 21, and Ryder Harrington, 19, were the two victims killed in the shooting on 6th St. in Austin. Absolutely awful. They were just starting their lives.

Israel strikes two schools in Iran, killing more than 50 people State media says Israeli attack on girls' school in the city of Minab in the south of the country kills dozens.

According to Iran's State media, an Israeli strike hit schools, killing 50.

It's going to be hard to tell what the actual facts are through the fog of war. Plus, I'm not sure how much foreign press is in the country at the moment. Either way, tragic.

American citizen among those killed in Cuba boat shooting, US official says Cuba has accused those on board of planning "an infiltration with terrorist aims” and firing first.

Considering the Trump administration did pretty much nothing when American citizens were killed in the West Bank, I don't expect much movement here.

There's no government body that monitors journalism in America (yet 😬). It's our colleagues and the public that keep us accountable. It's an imperfect system but it's all we got. Luckily, you have an encouraging network that will support your growth as a journalist.
