They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

There's something really despicable about Trump calling for ordinary Iranians to take the risk of rising up against the regime. He's been so disdainful of the same sentiment in Ukraine. He's never taken a risk for anyone else's benefit. Man wouldn't stand up to serve himself at a buffet.

Massive explosions in Bahrain, where I am. Media reporting that the oil refinery has been hit

NBC's top climate reporter quits In an exclusive interview, veteran NBC meteorologist Chase Cain opens up about burnout, suppression, and why he's going independent.

Corporate broadcast coverage of climate change fell 35% in the last year, even as Trump systemically dismantled climate policy and billion-dollar disasters rose

The gradual deprioritization led NBC climate reporter Chase Cain to hit a breaking point, and he quit last week

Here's our interview:

Such a vital issue. Very proud of this great local news outlet in my town.

‘Nazi heaven’: Inside Miami campus Republicans’ racist group chat The chat is the subject of a Florida International University police investigation.

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"

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.

No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.

Worth a watch.

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

Remarkable to hear Colby say to Congress that regime change isn't a war aim because killing Khamenei was an Israeli decision. In his Feb 28 statement Trump himself made clear that it was essentially a joint action. Meanwhile the administration appears to be actively arming a Kurdish ground force.

Imagine this, but in London, on smaller and more winding and congested roads.

Climate change and sustainability is part of the context for every school subject, and the brilliant UCL Centre for Climate Change and Sustainability Education is continually creating new resources for teachers. Do share their fabulous new website with any teachers you know:

Israel expects weeks-long war against Iran Officials and analysts say joint operation with US seeks to destroy key capabilities of Islamic regime

"If we can have a civil war, great."

US strikes on Iran ‘outside international law,’ says Macron Macron joins Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez in calling the legality of the strikes into question.

After four days of hesitating, the president of France has joined the prime minister of Spain in saying that the 🇺🇸🇮🇱 attack on Iran is a violation of international law.

But they are still the only 2 EU leaders to have done so. Will others join?

Absolutely supreme camera work

My god: The patient came in with a belly full of blood, Dr. Leilah Zahedi-Spung recalled. Her pregnancy was ectopic—no longer viable—and could have killed her if left untreated. But when she went to a mobile pregnancy help center offering free care in an RV she was told the pregnancy could be saved.

The US Agency for Global Media, which is run by Kari Lake, has just failed an audit. The organization's finances are too chaotic even to assess.

Remarkable spread of Iran war in days. You now have attacks not just in the Gulf & Israel, but also Cyprus & Turkey in the west & off Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean in the east. Had an Iranian missile struck Turkey today, there is a good chance that Article Five would be invoked by allies.

This is another reminder that the Russian's hybrid warfare is increasingly resembling a real war, and that EU countries should act accordingly. They should retaliate and do more to protect themselves from Russian operatives, whether they are disposable agents or Russian citizens.

I have just held a call with President Pedro Sánchez to express the EU’s full solidarity with Spain.

The EU will always ensure that the interests of its Member States are fully protected.
