Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
Ukraine has the cards everyone needs, including Trump.
US and Gulf need Ukraine's interceptor drones, but Kyiv banned weapons exports after Russia invasion
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.
Julie K Brown: DOJ docs, FBI interview, allege prison guards talked about cover-up in Epstein's death
Inmate tells FBI he heard guards saying Epstein was killed
“A US-Israeli airstrike has destroyed the desalination plant in Qeshm Island, southern #Iran, severing the residents' access to freshwater.”
x.com/kziabari/sta...
Iran's parliament speaker said Saturday that the attack on a freshwater desalination plant on Qeshm Island was carried out with support from one of the airbases in a southern neighboring country. He did not name the country. "The crime will receive a proportionate response," he said.
The US doesn’t seem to understand how many targets there are for Iran in the Gulf.
Attacking the desalination plant in Iran is monstrous in itself as so many people depend on them, but it also opens up the way for Iran to target the Gulf’s desalination plants, which would also be monstrous
Lift up women’s voices.
This version of Bella Ciao was recorded last year in Farsi, Arabic, and Hebrew by the Jewish-Arab women’s choir Rana, based in Jaffa. It was first dedicated to the women of Iran, and later to all women living in war.

Bibi, MBS, and their allies in DC have almost convinced Trump to send American teenagers to fight and die in Iran. I can't believe in typing this sentence.
Two veteran journalists produced a documentary that showed evidence of war crimes in Gaza. But the BBC refused to air the film. Why?
The latest from our friends at @revealnews.org and @kcrw.com:
Billions spent fighting neglected tropical diseases could unravel after the U.S. eliminated the U.S. Agency for International Development, researchers warn.
Programs targeting river blindness and elephantiasis are stalled around the world, risking new infections for millions.
NEW (!) — Sources say Trump has been positively receptive to officials & allies privately encouraging him to send troops on the ground into Iran.
Comes amid revelations that Lindsey Graham has gone to Israel and coached Netanyahu on how to persuade Trump to take action in Iran.

First the Trump regime murders scores of Iranian schoolgirls. Then it lies about it.
Like seriously what’s the plan
Why was the European public largely unaware of such a huge regulatory rollback?
WH official: “We want to seize all the oil from Iran. The long-term benefit is getting massive oil reserves out of the hands of terrorists.”
My article in Kyiv Post today, dissecting the folly of Trump's foreign policy. Trump has no coherent foreign policy – just sowing chaos, wasting expensive missiles, and concluding a dangerous alignment with the world's autocrats.

This happened. The print interview was edited in ways that feel very jumpy, but I got to say some things. Like: Maybe changing the world is more like caregiving than it is like war. Too many people still expect it to look like war. [and then there's a crazy jump-cut w/out transition.]
The asymmetry of the value placed on human life is so striking. Israel has a goal to recover 40-year-old remains; to do so, it invades a sovereign country, and the lives of 26 Lebanese are an afterthought. Their names not even worth printing in the New York Times.
Power used to train frontier AI models... Grok-3 most intensive JPMAM
"Unlikely" as in: regime change toward a more democratic and peaceful regime as a result of air power alone has literally NEVER happened.
Do you want somebody to blame? Start with Russell Vought at OMB, Jay Bhattacharya, Matthew Memoli, Jon Lorsch at NIH. These are evil, small minded men. I hope one day they’re held accountable for the destruction of biomedical research in the United States.
"Presidential power is strongest with congressional authorization, weakest against congressional prohibition, and somewhere in between—the 'zone of twilight'—when Congress has been silent.
That 'zone of twilight' has become the executive branch’s favorite terrain."
Trump's "solution" to his Iran War created inflation is to provide even more cash for Putin's War On Ukraine. That's the ticket.
To cool prices, Trump eyes un-sanctioning Russia oil
If our arsenal is “virtually unlimited,” why is Trump dragging defense CEOs in to quadruple weapons production? The talking points and the reality don’t match. #holdfast
Actually existing democratic socialism:
He’s talking about targeting certain “groups of people” for total destruction — that’s genocide talk.
He’s also talking about it taking “many decades” til Iran’s surrender, which he has said is the only thing that’ll make him stop.
‘Operation Epstein Distraction’: Trump’s bloody Iran ‘hype videos’ seem to target niche audience
The second sentence of DOJ's brief--the brief it filed yesterday in the law firm case--is very wrong. The First Amendment protects private speech by (among other things) restricting what public officials can say. See, e.g., Bantam Books, NRA v. Vullo. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

One item I’ll highlight - under 2015 Obama deal Iran would only had had enough U for one bomb at 3.67 enrichment. Not 6-7 worth at 60%. This is all on Trump
There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.
