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.
Oman's foreign minister, who attempted to shame the US into not entering a war of aggression, says that the goals of US-Israeli war on Iran are not limited to weakening Iran, but also the Gulf states and anyone supportive of Palestinians.
Calls on GCC to reconsider security arrangements.

During my visit to Adelanto, ICE made sure I saw a clean, orderly and well run detention facility. But when I met with my constituents, they told me the conditions were unsafe, unhealthy, and inhumane.

What a world
“Getting the chance to showcase other aspects of our history and culture that are not trauma-based or trauma-filled, that are joyful, that are silly, that are informative, while still keeping our integrity is just a beautiful thing to watch unfold in real time”
Saddened to share that in the recovery efforts in Kankakee County local officials have now learned of one casualty.
My heart breaks for this individual’s family and the whole community.
May their memory be a blessing.
During California’s worst dry spell in the past 1,200 years, some populations of wildflowers defied the odds of survival. Researchers say they believe these flowers relied on a type of rapid genetic evolution — the first time such a phenomenon has been documented in the wild. https://cnn.it/4s68rdQ
Russia has gained a boost of $1.3–$1.9 billion in additional oil tax revenue as global prices surged due to the Iran War, the FT reports.
I’m outraged and heartsick that someone attacked a synagogue in Michigan, and I’m outraged and heartsick that the IDF dropped charges against Israeli soldiers who we know sexually assaulted Palestinian detainees, and I’m outraged and heartsick that some will suggest one of these mitigates the other.
More confirmation that the Strait of Hormuz is being mined:
"There was no immediate indication whether there were fatalities or survivors.

The statement [by U.S. Central Command] appeared to suggest that the crash involved two planes, possibly colliding or engaging in close manouevres. The second plane, it said, 'landed safely'."
WIRED named the DOGE operative accused here of planning to take Social Security data to his new job. It's John Solly, and he works for the government contractor Leidos, a company that has millions in contracts with SSA.

Colorectal cancer is the leading cause of cancer death for people under 50, according to a new @americancancersoc.bsky.social analysis, which also found “Nearly one half (45%) of new diagnoses are currently in individuals younger than 65 years, up from 27% in 1995.”🧪
I know this community very well. The Shenandoah club the Temple Israel statement refers to as providing food and shelter during this attack is the club established by Iraqi Chaldeans. This is really beautiful interfaith solidarity in action.
it sucks
687 people have been killed in Lebanon in barely 2 weeks. Thousands have been injured. 800,00 have been displaced. Out of a population of 5 million. Reckon with that slaughter and horror. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03...
I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is.
People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

"The Trump administration has tapped an eye doctor with no background in air pollution science to advise the Environmental Protection Agency on what levels of air pollutants are safe to breathe."
Sigh.
Two possible terrorist attacks in the United States today, at Old Dominion University in Virginia and Temple Israel in Michigan. It’s fair to say, as is so often the case, that “The Terrorism Warning Lights Are Blinking Red Again.” @foreignaffairs.com
Just checking, forcibly displacing all Lebanese people living south of the Litani River, that’s a war crime, right?
Should global leaders maybe say something, or are Lebanese civilians not entitled to human rights?

A statement from Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan:
