Video appears to show U.S. cruise missile striking Iranian school compound The seven-second video was released by Iranian state media and directly contradicts statements made by President Trump, who said Iran was responsible for the strike.

The Iranian girls’ school was hit by a US tomahawk cruise missile. NPR has confirmed the footage.

Electing this guy twice is really bad. But the real reason the US cannot be trusted is that it has been unable to impeach him.

If white, they're "ex pats"
If brown, they're "immigrants"
If brown and poor, they're "indentured labour", i.e. slaves

everyone is extraordinarily desperate to pretend that Donald Trump is a coherent individual with a real plan who understands what is happening in the world and none of that is true

As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy

So he’s surrendering without accomplishing any of his stated objectives while declaring victory. Exactly what we said would happen.

Each Covid-19 wave wrecks your health. Here's what you can do Hospitalisations and deaths from the virus are climbing as the ninth wave of Covid-19 surges across Aotearoa.

Prof. Helen Petousis-Harris, Auckland Univ.: There's not enough awareness of the impact of Covid-19 on overall health.

"What many people don't realise is that getting Covid repeatedly is not like building immunity, it's more like accumulating damage"

Kind of weird when you can watch the global market collectively go "oh shit he is that crazy".

Things look grim in the markets right now, but at least the U.S. economy wasn’t already being propped up by a massive speculative AI bubble that is highly sensitive to rising energy costs.

Rising energy prices are pushing up inflation, especially in economies dependent on imported fossil fuels.

The durable solution is structural: improve efficiency, accelerate electrification and scale up renewables.

Energy policy is economic policy.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

This directly contradicts Trump and Hegseth’s claims that Iran bombed the area where the Iranian school was hit. We knew it, but it’s good to have the video.

New video footage shows a US Tomahawk missile hitting an IRGC facility in Minab, Iran, on Feb 28, showing for the first time that the US struck the area. The footage also shows smoke already rising from the vicinity of the girls’ school, where 175 people were reportedly killed, including children.

Not only did the US, per its own ‘intelligence,’ bomb this girls primary school, THEY BOMBED IT TWICE.
