I explained a while ago that it would be impossible to say anything about Trump’s Iranian ‘adventure’ with absolute certainty. I’m sorry, I was wrong. He will *never* do anything that genuinely upsets or angers Vladimir Putin. Whether in Iran, in Ukraine or even in the USA. It is his only constant.

One war crime after another
🔴 The death toll from Israeli attacks across Lebanon has risen sharply in the past week:
– March 9 (Monday): The toll reached 486.

– March 7 (Saturday): Casualties stood at 294 deaths and 1,023 injuries…
Temperature map showing record warmth in much of the Eastern U.S. including 80s around DC.
Record heat today! 🥵
DC hit at least 82° (old record: 79°). Dulles up to 83°, Baltimore too -- all record highs.
80s arrived more than two weeks early for DC, where the average first 80° isn’t until March 26.
Wild early-season warmth.
Schrödinger's War
you have to listen to everything he says but also ignore everything he says which is very difficult
Map snapshot depicting the predicted relative anomalousness of surface temperatures from the ECMWF ensemble over the Western U.S. in about a week from now. A a huge region of bright orange and red colors (depicting extremely high warm temperature anomalies) is centered right in the middle of the map, and covers essentially the entire region.
Lots of buzz online about an upcoming major March heatwave for the American SW & California. And in this case, it does indeed appear increasingly likely than an extremely anomalous and even record-breaking heatwave may envelop much of the SW about a week from now.
Just 13% of Britons describe themselves as pro-Trump.
25F above normal forecast for Calif next week!!
I don't think you have to Nostradamus to figure that bombing Iran might raise oil prices. And it seems pretty obvious that buying oil in advance of causing an oil price spike might just save Americans a lot of money. But...
...maybe there wasn't much planning?
“This is another instance of Trump lying and just talking out of his ass,” said a U.S. government official who reviewed satellite images of the Shajarah Tayyebeh school. “This clearly was not a failed rocket from the IRGC base.”

On the contrary, force ICE to use these cars
If Trump manages to decarbonize the world economy by accident then it will be the one good consequence of his worthless existence
For what it's worth:
Avg residential cost of electricity in Michigan: ~$0.20/kWh
My Kia Niro EV gets ~3.7 miles/kWH, or $5.40 to drive 100 miles
Avg cost of gasoline in Michigan (today): ~$3.55/gallon
A car getting 30 MPG would cost $11.84 to drive 100 miles.
1,000 miles: ~$54 vs. ~$118
They are murdering civilians on the high seas.
They are murdering civilians in 🇮🇷.
They are murdering civilians in concentration camps.
They are murdering civilians on the streets of 🇺🇸 cities.
These are not problems that can be fixed with new laws or more court orders.

Footage reviewed and geolocated by Bellingcat confirms US tomahawk missiles hit the girls’ primary school in southern Iran that killed 175 people, most of them children.
Researcher Trevor Ball notes Israel does not possess Tomahawk missiles. United States does.
Dressing up as medical aid when you aren't is a war crime. Unambiguous. Awful.
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.
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.
Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.
"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

From Bloody Sunday to RHI, Gerry Adams, Bobby Sands, and Michael Stone, Elon Musk’s Grokipedia is spreading dangerous lies about Northern Ireland
The world’s most unreliable encyclopaedia: Elon Musk’s AI Wikipedia alternative is dangerously distorting the truth about Northern Ireland, defaming & perversely altering history. It smears Troubles victims, lauds a paramilitary force & libels politicians.
I think Hegseth is the most embarrassing person in any leadership position anywhere in the world, a 13-year-old boy pretending to be a man. On 60 Minutes:
“The only ones that need to be worried right now are Iranians who think they're going to live.”
Israeli attacks on UNIFIL peace keepers tonight. Irish service men were not directly hit, but they aided their counterparts from Ghana. This will further deteriorate Irish Israel relations.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

"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 Middle East."
