Politico has confirmed two things from CENTCOM.

1. Trump has no plan for how to end this war (that actually might be the plan).

2. Even if we started scaling back today, the military won't be able to withdraw from Iran until September 2026.

Note: No clear objective has been declared.

Today should be your 38th birthday..
When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

Imagine going along with this. Imagine going into work, sending names of your neighbors to the government with a notification that marks them as an unperson, and handing them back paperwork which denigrates them and marks them as less-than human. Imagine just... not caring.

Amid Trump crackdown on Chinese students, one US university appears to block them altogether Purdue says no ban on Chinese students exists, but reportedly rescinded dozens of offers after warnings from legislators

Perdue banning all Chinese students just for national origin. No other reason. The Harper's Letter crowd must be crafting a humdinger of a new letter over this one.

So you're saying ICE is incompatible with the rule of law as practiced in this nation from the founding?

Think I see a pretty easy solution here, champ.

Man, I didn’t think there was a way for this story to get dumber but…
β€œDoD loaned the high-energy laser weapon to DHS, who promptly shot down some mylar balloons with it without telling anyone, resulting in the FAA closing airspace and disrupting air travel nationwide”

…sure did the trick

THEY ARE BUYING UP WAREHOUSES TO HOLD HUMAN BEINGS IN DETENTION INDEFINITELY.

I feel crazy at how everyone is acting like this is normal. These are concentration camps being built right before our eyes. These buildings are not meant to house human beings. People will be caged like cattle and die.

the end result of AI image, video, and audio generation is that society will no longer be able to rely on images or video or audio to represent reality. Children born today will never be able to assume that just because they have seen something on a screen that it is likely to be true.
