literally taking away reasons for Iran to reopen
Sánchez: “You may have heard that Spain is alone. They’re the same people who said that when we recognized the State of Palestine, and then others followed.
“We are not alone — we are the first. Those who will end up alone are the ones defending the indefensible.”
It’s time to put that ‘k’ back in ‘Amerika’ folks
i really don't understand why European countries think it's fine to let the US turn off Russian oil sanctions even temporarily so that USA can prosecute a stupid reckless war of choice
Look, I’ll say it:
This is too little too late.
The litigation-first establishment-norm people failed us.
It’s great they won in court in March 2026, but Russell Vought and Project 2025 and the corrupt SCOTUS outfoxed them. The damage is done and will not be reversed.
That the archbishop needs to say this is itself a grim measure of our degradation.
He wore a baseball cap.
Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.
The ease of the horrific libel
Iran has 90 million people and is the size of Alaska. How is this going to work?
A federal judge in DC rules that Kari Lake was not lawfully appointed and that actions she took as the claimed head of USAGM "shall have no force or effect," including last August's RIFs at the Voice of America.
Begun to flirt?
It's done. Graduate courses canceled. Early retirements and letters of resignation are in. The brain drain evidenced by 80-90 percent promotion rates for mid level and 60-70 for upper level officers is real real bad.
I don’t think LLMs are going anywhere but OpenAI sure might
unlike Google they don’t have the backstop of the endless ad money spigot and I’d bet a lot more on Anthropic finding a path to profitability than these guys
probably a reason they were so eager to jump on the military opening
Multiple news outlets are reporting a US attack on an Iranian #desalination plant.
If verified, this violates international law protecting #water systems during wars, and it sets a dangerous precedent, given intense dependence of Gulf countries on desalination.

I can’t believe how stupid everything is
I’m starting to believe Israel doesn’t want peace in the Middle East
🇺🇸🇮🇱 The US State Department declared a national emergency and approved the sale of over 20,000 bombs ($660 million) to Israel, - NYT
The package includes 12,000 bombs weighing approximately 450 kg, 10,000 bombs weighing approximately 225 kg, and 5,000 small aerial bombs.
Ukraine’s General Staff says American and Franco-British missiles have hit a Russian base in occupied Donetsk that was storing Iranian Shahed drones — like the ones the US and Gulf countries are struggling to combat in the Middle East and so have requested Kyiv’s assistance in taking down.
The sitting occupant of the Oval Office is a traitor and a scoundrel and this is not his first treacherous act. He levied war against us, however pathetically, and now he sells our safety to help himself.
Infinitely. How can one (rotten) person be so fucking lucky?
Dunno if we’ll ever see the classified after action report but yea, trump got very lucky. And now we’re paying for it
Yes and also I’m not sure how publicly known it is how close it came to becoming black hawk down in Venezuela
Hegseth: "The only ones who need to be worried right now are Iranians who think they're going to live"
Just like George W, Trump lied about the rationale for war and just like George W, Trump is playing golf while Americans die.

I recommend listening to @crampell.bsky.social if you want to learn more.
Let’s see where we are in a week once people have absorbed the move in gasoline prices.
