Oil Markets Brace for Disruption After U.S.-Israel Strikes on Iran The worries include strikes against regional oil production as well as crude flows from the Persian Gulf.

Energy markets are bracing for disruption after the start of major combat operations by Israel and the United States against Iran, reports FP’s @kfj-fp.bsky.social.

Experts raise questions and concerns about Pentagon’s threat to blacklist Anthropic amid AI spat Some warned that such a move would mark an extreme response that could have a chilling effect on the broader frontier AI industry.

Guardrails don’t undermine military AI. In fact, they're needed to improve the tech’s safety and reliability, says @amostoh.bsky.social defensescoop.com/2026/02/27/p...

So let’s think about this.

A private company refused - on principle - to yield to the government’s demands.

The government then cancelled its contracts with the company and has set about destroying it

300.

This is an action aimed at 300 people.

This just highlights how vulnerable the transgender community really is—and how monstrous these policies attacking them really are.

It’s exactly how the Nazis targeted Jews. Exactly.

And it has happened: Hegseth and Trump declare Anthropic a supply chain risk.

Every company that has government contracts will be barred from using Claude code.

It is an attempt to outright destroy the company because they did not consent to mass surveillance of Americans and AI kill bots.

Wow.

"it's a matter of national security"

right now NVIDIA is allowed to sell their most advanced AI chips directly to China but not to Anthropic lol

Neither Minneapolis nor Minnesota in general have stopped protesting against ICE. Don’t let the media blackout operate, we need a full coverage of what’s happening there.

Please keep writing about Nurul Amin Shah Alam.

They killed this man. It's a system wide problem that resulted in his death. Every step of the way it was a travesty of justice.

This is how immigration law intersects with criminal law. ICE and CBP.

Read this and ask why do we fund this? Why?

A tariff “refund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

You are almost certainly not aware of the full extent of what the government is doing in Minneapolis, and what it portends for all of us if they succeed. lnk.thebulwark.com/46kVMuT

TUCKER: “You’ve appealed to Genesis - are you saying Israel has a Biblical right to the entire Middle East?”

HUCKABEE: “It would be fine if they took it all.”🤔

Trump’s Christian Zionist ambassador to Israel @govmikehuckabee tells Tucker Israel can take Iraq, Saudi Arabia, etc.

Restored Peatlands Could Become Carbon Sinks Within Decades - Eos That’s much faster than what most scientists thought.

Restored Peatlands Could Become Carbon Sinks Within Decades
Peatlands contain massive amounts of plant matter and therefore massive amounts of carbon—about a third of the total carbon found on Earth.

Those ICE docs must be priceless. "Attempted to subdue violent suspect with Loofah Laws, then used the Warm Soft Blanket Technique. When they didn't work, we feared for our lives and fired 17 rounds into the side of his head. No further investigation needed."

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.

"It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

that’s right

Ol’ Scotty’s looking haggard and worn down. All that lying and venality takes a toll.

A lot of people, including me, were wondering how an IRB could ever approve this study.

The answer is that no IRB did. The person who “signed off” on approval from the only ethics board that reviewed it had resigned three years earlier. His signature was used without his knowledge.

News - 2,000-Year-Old Trackway Revealed in Scotland - Archaeology Magazine ABERDEEN, SCOTLAND—Erosion caused by storms at eastern Scotland’s Angus Beach revealed an ancient clay surface […]

The Scottish archaeologists had to work fast once they found that a storm had uncovered 2,000-year-old footprints in the clay on Angus Beach. They mapped the site, took casts of the prints—and then, the tides and winds destroyed the ancient ground.

I know we sort of live in a time in which personal morality is irrelevant in politics, but it’s worth noting that there are very credible allegations that at least two cabinet secretaries are presently engaged in affairs with coworkers; one with her right-hand man and the other with her bodyguard.

Large banner of Trump unfurled at Justice Department headquarters The DOJ has traditionally operated with a degree of separation from the White House to prevent the department's powers from being abused for political purposes.

Trump has turned the Department of Justice into his own personal vendetta machine. And Pam Bondi has been happy to go along for the ride.

We're witnessing the most egregious politicization of the DOJ in recent memory — and I lived through the Nixon years. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

The fundamental breaking of the social contract of neighbors helping neighbors feels evil in a way that's very hard to articulate.

The Colorado River Crisis is Here States fail to reach a deal; Lake Powell Deadpool appears imminent

Federal officials now project that Lake Powell will "most probably" drop below power pool level — meaning Glen Canyon Dam will no longer be able to generate hydropower — before the end of this year: www.landdesk.org/p/the-colora... via @landdesk.bsky.social
