I've seen lots of coverage including in the international press. What I haven't seen is Democratic electeds bringing it up daily therefore driving coverage.

Qatar warns war will force Gulf to stop energy exports β€˜within days’ Gas producer says it will take β€˜weeks to months’ to restore deliveries after Iranian drone strike

⚠️ Qatar’s energy minister has warned that war in the Middle East could β€œbring down the economies of the world,” predicting that all Gulf energy exporters would shut down production within weeks and drive oil to $150 a barrel.

Glad we’re not practicing woke rules of engagement anymore like not murdering children.

There is a saying that when plans for war are made, the enemy has a say. Well, in this case, so do allies who are disproportionately affected.

Energy market analysts say the impact of the Iran War on supply could be bigger than the 1973 oil embargo.

~ 25% world seaborne oil trade, transits the Strait – 80% destined for Asia.
~ 93% of Qatar’s and 96% of the UAE’s LNG exports transit through the Strait, representing 19% of global LNG trade.

A big reason why we're in the situation we're in is because the impact of Woke War II has slowly faded from public memory.

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.

These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.
Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35
Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39
Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20

I dunno Pat. There was a big old scandal when I was in middle school about a general selling arms to Iran to support regime change in Nicaragua and they held hearings about all summer and then it was the topic for debate team competitions so how did I miss this??

The fact that the U.S. has been so successfully brainwashed into thinking that sunburned white guys with cheeky Nazi tattoos Define the Working Class when the ACTUAL working class is non-white women (many of them immigrants) - yeah, that’s one of the great madness runes of our time.

I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing β€˜reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.

won't you celebrate with me
by Lucille Clifton
 
won't you celebrate with me
what i have shaped into
a kind of life? i had no model.
born in babylon
both nonwhite and woman
what did i see to be except myself?
i made it up
here on this bridge between
starshine and clay,
my one hand holding tight
my other hand; come celebrate
with me that everyday
something has tried to kill me
and has failed.

Missed a week with my 8th graders due to the storm, so one last Black History Month poem as a bridge into Women's History Month.

This one is by Lucille Clifton, which has a line I think about often:

"come celebrate
with me that everyday
something has tried to kill me
and has failed."

The War on Terror Paved the Way for Trump's Riseβ€”Now He's Making It His Own Only the total abolition of the DHS can restore freedom.

NEW @thenation.com: The tools of the War on Terror must be destroyed before Trump uses them to finish building his world order, at home and abroad. What we did at home yesterday is what we do in Iran today is what we will do at home tomorrow. The way we break the cycle is straightforward: abolition.

I would like Third Way to go door knocking in working class communities of color to listen to those voters but it’s clear they won’t understand them at all and say that those communities want a middle of the road moderate.

Is β€˜America First’ Over? Trump promised to stop wars. His grip on his base is being questioned now that he’s started one.

America First was always about bigoted and belligerent unilateralism. Pacifism never had anything to do with it, so could journalists please stop repeating Trump’s framing as if it was real? www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...
