"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the βMiddle East."
My university received a few years ago the promise of the largest single gift to a public university in U.S. history. It was equivalent to 12 hours of bombing Iran.
Not a lawyer, but it seems like Hegseth's explicit order to relax rules of engagement, thereby deliberately endangering civilians, would make this a war crime for which he is responsible. He should he prosecuted as a monstrous war criminal at the earliest opportunity. His order killed 165 children.
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. Sheβs married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
Theyβve already sent her to Louisiana.
The reason we have βstupid rules of engagementβ is to make sure we donβt bomb elementary schools.
But that young colonel was ITERATING. Nobody else in the world has guys who can iterate
People say BlueSky is an echo chamber but we have road cyclists, gravel cyclists, mountain bikers, single speeders, fixie riders, cargo bike riders, e-bike riders, hybrid riders, recumbent riders, bikepackers, randonneurs, and I'm sure we even have a few unicyclists among us
I saw on r/nursing this week that a nurse reported a colleague for wearing meta glasses to work. That has a billion HIPAA and other legal violations written ALL over it and that person should be fired
very aspect of life in this country is designed so that people do not form bonds or relationships with other people, it's wild to watch in action. Never seen divide and conquer applied this rigorously to a domestic population that is not under foreign occupation
Inject this entire piece into my veins ππ―π―
NIH leadership wants to strip worker's rights from the majority of scientists on its campuses.
But, the NIH does not get to say whether we are a union or not. We do, and we are no strangers to having to fight for our union. Time for a short history lesson. 1/n

I am banned from the library of the Supreme Court of the United States.
The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. Theyβre tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.
The point of packing the Supreme Court, for example, is not to destroy it, itβs to make it capable of doing its job and retaining βlegitimacyβ in the long term. The right-wing alternative is to just override the court!
I hadnβt realized the fuller context here (ship was unarmed and returning from a multilateral training exercise, sub made no attempt to rescue survivors) but even the underlying act was bad.
Strong Accountability Option is becoming increasingly unavoidable if we want to remain a country.

Despite everything, we are planning for and building a better world.

boy that's a war crime
I know that the people who need to read this arenβt here, but here goes:
Rules of engagement arenβt for the enemy. Theyβre for you. Theyβre for your soldiers when theyβre captured or wounded. Theyβre for your civilians when theyβre in range of the enemy. Theyβre for your allies, to reassure.
One reason, perhaps, is that the 11th Cir said if fed $ were committed, it would trigger NEPA review.
I'm sorry but if you can give everyone a $3,000 check by soaking 900 people, then those 900 people have too much fucking money.
As the tech industry increasingly turns to onsite fossil fuel power for data centers, what does this mean for nearby communities? A new study evaluates the impacts of fine particulate matter from a VA facility's onsite power system & finds $53Mβ$99M/yr in health damages.
there's a lot going on right now but did you know a massive amount of the world's fertilizer flows through the middle east, and did you know that that fertilizer needs to be shipped to the us *right now* for planting season, and uh did you know we are at war with iran
Neguse: βWhere's Safe America Media headquartered?β
Noem: βI donβt know.β
Neguse: βI donβt know either. We can't find itβ¦You want the American people to believe that this is all above board, that a $143 million of taxpayer money just happened to go to this one company that doesn't have a headquart
confused about current location of boots tbh
Some friends of ours have a very femme son. They told him if he didn't feel like he was a boy, that would be ok. He said, no, I'm a boy and that was the end of it.
Other friends have a trans daughter. Same story.
If you make it clear you accept every bit if them, it's not fucking complicated.
