AI error or not, Iran school bombing is a permanent stain on America’s soul | Will Bunch A debate on AI in warfare obscures the truth about an Iran school bombing. U.S. humans are to blame for this war crime.

They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175

Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game

Prison guards discussed cover-up of Epstein’s death, inmate tells FBI One officer said: “Dudes, you killed that dude.”

New from @jkbjournalist.bsky.social: An inmate housed at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York told the FBI he overheard guards talking about covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s death on the morning he died.

Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."

Fuzzy memories and hard facts: An SC accuser's claims against Epstein, Trump examined An alleged victim of Jeffrey Epstein gave FBI agents true accounts of her time growing up in SC. Claims she made about Donald Trump remain unsubstantiated.

Trump Blames Iran for Deadly Strike on Girls’ School President Trump on Saturday blamed Iran for the bombing of a girls’ school in southern Iran, which Iranian officials say killed more than 160 people. “My opinion, based on what I’ve seen—that was done...

The footage appears to contradict President Donald Trump’s claim it was an Iranian missile that hit the school on Feb. 28. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

The ignorance of these people just seems to make everything so much more insulting.

huh, makes the whole 25 year period when the Shah was our top ally kind of awkward

Bellingcat has geolocated the video, it shows a building close to the Manib school, in the same compound, being hit by a US Tomahawk missile, one of several strikes on the compound

If you shared the unverified Mikey Weinstein claims, you should share this. There is video of Potteiger.

The view of Tehran’s skyline overnight on Sunday was apocalyptic: Billowing smoke and towering oil fires turned the horizon orange as Israeli strikes ignited fuel depots outside the Iranian capital. By morning, dark, oily smoke hung over the city. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/08/w...

• DHS is currently shut down amid Dem demands, employees have begun to miss paychecks and it requires a bill to reopen

• Senate is currently working on a bipartisan housing bill

• Senate hasn’t passed any version of SAVE; no path to 60 votes + GOP leaders doubt a talking filibuster can work

2/2

Trump says he “will not sign” any other bill until the Save America Act passes. He says it “must go to the front of the line” and take priority over other bills.

A few things

• This would require the House to pass it a *third* time with these new Trump asks on mail ballots and trans provisions

An ADSBx map showing C104 flying from Florida to Watertown SD late last night.

Ugh. The brand-new Coast Guard jet Kristi Noem was using before she got fired flew down to Florida late Friday -- presumably for the "Shield of the Americas" announcement -- and then returned to Watertown, SD, late Saturday. So she's still using it!!

interesting tactic while you're also looking for supplemental defense money

Renee Good was shot in the head, autopsy commissioned by her family finds Renee Good was shot three times and grazed a fourth time during the Jan. 7 encounter with an ICE officer, according to findings released by her family's attorneys.

1/The failure to investigate Renee Good’s death at all is ongoing scandal. The independent autopsy suggests that Renee Good was still alive after the first shot; it was the third shot that killed her, www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news....

I haven't received anything...?

There was a time when Weinstein had developed a reputation for exposing evangelizing in the military. And now it seems he wants people to take what he says at face value, with no further verification

I think in this case is seems plausible to people under the circumstances. But MRFF would have us believe that the many people they claimed contacted the organization ONLY contacted MRFF, didn't try to reach out to any other org or reporter, and no reporter, AFAIK has talked to any of them 🤔

I get that, but they could have done a little bit more vetting of the story, I still think

I'm sure there's some whining about why MSM is not covering. Maybe it's because they can't confirm/corroborate it? Weinstein controls the entire narrative
