The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

Yes, Trump has started a full-scale war with Iran. But it won't be a forever war.

Bodycam video contradicts ICE claims in fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas Video of last year's fatal shooting of Ruben Ray Martinez obtained by CBS News appears to contradict claims that Martinez was shot by an ICE agent because he "accelerated" and "intentionally ran over"...

DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."

But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."

ICE arrested an Oregon shop owner who had her green card in her pocket: ‘They didn’t care’ Juanita Avila later helped expose ICE’s ‘arrest first, justify later’ tactics in a lawsuit that won a major victory for immigrants’ rights

NEW: ICE tackled + arrested Juanita Avila, an Oregon shop owner who is a legal permanent resident and had her green card in her pocket.

When she asked through sobs why they didn't believe her, one masked agent replied: “Because they lie all the time.”

Video + interview with her and her daughter:

Wars Often Lose Public Support Over Time. Trump Started This One Without Much.

Americans skipped the rally-around-the-president stage this time. JFK gained 13 points after Cuban Missile Crisis, LBJ 8 after bombing Hanoi, GHW Bush 18 during Gulf War, GW Bush 8 after Saddam captured, Obama 11 after OBL killed. Trump gained 0 since Iran. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/06/u...

Trump is adding anti-trans provisions to SAVE America Act Trump appears to be using culture-war issues, which are popular among Republican voters, to increase the pressure on Republican lawmakers to back the bill.

He’s hoping that by adding cruelty to his voter-suppression bill, it will get more support from Republicans. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Why Trump Is Partnering With Christian Nationalists | Robert Reich
Why Trump Is Partnering With Christian Nationalists | Robert Reich Donald Trump keeps comparing himself to Jesus.Whether he actually has a messiah complex or is just conning his supporter

Top U.S. military commanders have reportedly told their troops that Trump's War on Iran will "cause Armageddon and mark Jesus' return to earth."

It's yet another example of the dangerous relationship Trump has cultivated with Christian nationalists.

Peter Mandelson released from bail conditions Police have decided former minister is not a flight risk, but he remains under investigation

A reminder that there are young people in the UK who have been held in prison for up to two years without conviction for allegedly dismantling weapons of genocide.

The government has been proven wrong on all accusations against them so far.

If this is true, that the Iranian vessel was returning from an international exercise with other countries INCLUDING the United States - and was thus unarmed - & that the US did not make efforts to rescue the crew, that makes Hegseth the "Secretary of War Crimes"
