WSJ: The likelihood of Iran closing the strait was discussed, Gen Caine predicted it, and Trump decided “Tehran would likely capitulate before closing the strait — and even if Iran tried, the U.S. military could handle it.”

They can't control what's happening now, so they're trying to control what gets said about it.
This is monstrously fucked up and should be Streisand Effected to the greatest degree possible
Haitian woman, 31, dies alone at Pittsburgh bus stop days after ICE released her to the streets far from home to perish. Rest in power, Daphy Michel: migrantinsider.com/p/the-loneso...
In California, ballots are mailed to all registered voters.
In 10 years, with over 1 billion votes cast, 31 incidents reported. Most are irregularities, administrative errors not necessarily fraud.
Heritage Foundation database lists 1 documented case fraud of absentee ballots in 40 years.
Hey folks - @dbrauer.net put together these t shirts in honor of all of the work folks did to fight back ICE. All profit goes to Lucy Laney school here in north Minneapolis. Also some options just to support the school.

it’s unreal how these grown-ass men had no problem destroying untold lives with chatGPT but go crying to a judge when people make fun of them online
How does an authoritarian leader build — and maintain — a fiercely loyal security force?
And how much of that playbook shows up in developments around the U.S. Department of Homeland Security?
We followed @donmoyn.bsky.social’s invitation and wrote a guest post - based on our new book 👇
When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.
If you want more understanding about f this case and why it is so dangerous as it is now law to say wearing black at a protest makes you a terrorist bsky.app/profile/harm...
The federal government is explicitly arguing that "wearing black clothes" at a noise demonstration is "enough to convict the eight defendants accused of material support" for terrorism. The outcome of this trial cold be catastrophic.
this is important
Whomst.. whomst amongst you could have POSSIBLY predicated this?
Oh, most of you? Huh. Weird.
GDP growth lower than expected for last 3 months of ‘25, only .7% while core inflation in January *rose* to 3.1%
And that is all before war in Iran.

BREAKING: All 6 crew members aboard the U.S. KC-135 died in the incident.
CENTCOM continues to say the loss of the aircraft was not due to “hostile fire or friendly fire” but has not provided additional details.
May they rest in peace.
We have a Congress who for all intents and purposes have given all of their power to the president on foreign policy. Would be great if they would actually do their jobs and be a co-equal branch of government.
2,500 Marines going in:
How we know “the war” is going “well” …
These are the type of people you can imagine nuking China and then later saying they didn’t think of China retaliating with nuclear weapons.
Like, this is a degree of detachment from reality & motivated thinking that reminds me of Hitler in WWII ffs, except w/an incomparable war machine
Why
Hegseth and Stephen Miller ridiculed "rules of engagement" and vowed this war won't be "politically correct." Now it looks like we may have bombed an elementary school. Hegseth/Miller's certainty that their version of "strength" would have support is imploding. 3/

Over 1,400 people in six countries have been killed in an illegal war of aggression and Trump’s opposition here at home is talking about suspending gas taxes.
My daughter reported that the ICE presence outside her school during recess last week involved ICE officers sitting IN AN ICE CREAM TRUCK. And this wasn't kids misinterpreting. We had an email from the school the day it happened; we just didn't get the ice cream detail in the email.
🚨 White House blocks intelligence report warning of rising US homeland terror threat linked to Iran war
I realize it’s the Daily Mail, but it sounds like they really did get their hands on a DHS bulletin that was meant for public release until the WH stopped it. The report is worth reading in full:
Guardian points out reporter Estefany Rodriguez “produced reports that were unflattering to ICE” — and she and her husband were in a marked Nashville Noticias vehicle when they grabbed her🤔
She is reportedly being held in Alabama
www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
These are war crimes, violations of the Geneva Conventions.
Increasingly I think we should turn the whole Trump cabinet over to the ICC to be tried at The Hague.
In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.
If you took $1 billion and gave it to the endowment of a different small college each day, they could each provide a free college education to several hundred students per year in perpetuity. Instead we are using that money to bomb schools and kill students in Iran, for no clearly stated purpose.
Bernard LaFayette, the advance man who did the risky groundwork for the voter registration campaign in Selma, Alabama, that culminated in the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, has died.
NEW: U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for the strike on an Iranian girls' school that killed scores of children but have not yet reached a final conclusion, two U.S. officials tell Reuters
