The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students — and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"
This article seems to stop short of explaining how Itan can use water strategically as a lever for power.
There a loose description of water infrastructure being less dependent on desalination in Iran compared to other countries in the region, but no logical chain to connect the two concepts.

LINDSEY GRAHAM: Israel and the United States -- you just wait to see what comes the next two weeks
BARTIROMO: Meaning what?
GRAHAM: We're going to blow the hell out of these people
True. But on a side note I hope people don't replace names with things like "DOGE Boy" moving forward; we should know exactly who these people were.
This is absolutely hilarious and deserves a Veep-style TV adaptation.
Does MA have more extensive social support programs than NJ?
The money that goes into building the beaches does wash away.
But that doesn't mean it's a waste of money. Far from it, actually. 💯

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.
Tweet from Abbas Araghchi reads: The U.S. committed a blatant and desperate crime by attacking a freshwater desalination plant on Qeshm Island. Water supply in 30 villages has been impacted. Attacking Iran's infrastructure is a dangerous move with grave consequences. The U.S. set this precedent, not Iran.
US-Israeli targets include schools, health care infrastructure, Tehran’s airport, and now, if what Iran’s foreign minister says is accurate, a desalination plant providing water to 30 villages.
What a precedent to set, hitting desalination plants around the Gulf which so heavily relies on them.
BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers.
This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight.

By our count at @prospect.org they have killed at least 28 people since Trump's second term started.
Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.
OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying…
“Surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got”
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.
I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.
He states that the Army didn't give a shit in that post, but has recently said that the Army screened for and vetted his tattoos. He's been lying about the tattoo and can't keep his lies straight.
This thread is not about whether Platner is a Nazi. It’s about how he lies like a toddler when he’s cornered. And that’s enough. He’s not electable, and Susan Collins knows it. You can too, if you can read this thread, or this 18-page document. 2/
CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.
It limits time for challengers who may think they'd have a good chance in an open field but not against an incumbent to organize.
“A DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credible—and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

Tonight, two of the white nationalists I reported on in this piece showed up to attempt to intimidate me on a private night out at a small music venue.
I’ll have more to say tomorrow. I’m safe.
They also didn’t pay cover 🖕
In this new report, @ksavin.bsky.social, and @calliefreitag.bsky.social and I explain how Trump 2.0 and DOGE built up new barriers to the already-difficult process of getting disability benefits.
Let's talk about what we found, and what we recommend to address the issues. 🧵
Our first recommendation: Staff the agency at a level that can meet service needs.
Social Security lost over 10% of its staff in 2025. And it was arguably understaffed before that.
For the public sector to serve people, it needs an adequate labor force. That's a basic question of capacity. 20/x
You have no interest in what I would have to say. You've made that clear.

A line chart of YouGov polling data with the headline: "Do Americans, Democrats, and Republicans think the country is headed in the right or wrong direction?." The chart has the sub-headline: "Would you say things in this country today are... (% saying "generally headed in the right direction" minus the % saying "off on the wrong track")." The chart has the note: "Note: Responses of "not sure" are not shown. Data for Oct. 22 - Nov. 5, 2016 and Sept. 26 - Nov. 14, 2020 is among registered voters only."
