Kanwal Sibal @KanwalSibal • 6h X The Iranian ship will not be where it was if we had not invited it to talk part in our Milan exercise. We were the hosts. I am told that as per protocol for this exercise ships cannot carry any ammunition. It was defenceless. The Iranian naval personnel had paraded before our president. The attack by the US submarine was premeditated as the US was aware of the Iranian ship's presence in the exercise to which the US navy was invited but withdrew from participation at the last minute, presumably with this operation in mind. The US has ignored India's sensitivities as the ship was in these waters because of India's invitation. We are far from politically or militarily responsible for the US attack. Our"responsibility" is at a moral and human plane. A word of condolence by the Indian Navy ( after political clearance) at the loss of lives of those who were our invitees and saluted our president would be in order.

Some context to the Iranian boat that was targeted by US off Sri Lanka coast

Reuters Exclusive

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."

"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the ​Middle East."

This is an incredible exchange.

Screenshot of an X post by Acyn quoting Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez saying Trump impulsively acted in Venezuela and Iran, causing global instability, and suggesting spikes in instability coincide with revelations about the Epstein files. Below is a video still of Ocasio-Cortez speaking outside a government building.

Continuation of the same post showing Ocasio-Cortez arguing that if the Epstein files influence Trump’s decisions enough to risk global conflict to protect himself politically, it means he cannot make objective decisions for the American people. The image shows Ocasio-Cortez speaking on a walkway outside a building.

She's right, you know.

Iranian Ship Was Leaving Indian Naval Exercise When Sunk, Raising Concerns in New Delhi The Iranian frigate sunk by a U.S. submarine last week had just left an Indian naval exercise. Now India's political opposition is demanding answers.

My lord! The frigate the US submarine torpedoed, the one the White House has been bragging about, was unarmed and headed home from an international naval exercise, hosted by India, that the US pulled out of at the last minute! www.military.com/daily-news/i...

I’m a hard pass on the whole Armageddon thing.

One of the best things I ever wrote came from the effect that the Leftovers had on me. And yes, Jon, I agree! 💚 variety.com/2017/tv/colu...

I love how honest Trump is when he has absolutely nothing to lose.

i have to admit i feel a real sense of dread whenever I switch the teevee on these days

The US lethal attack on a girls school in Minab, that killed about 180 mostly young girls, will forever been connected by the world with Pete Hegseth's pronouncement that "we won't be following any stupid rules of engagement." It's a war crime plain and simple.

Its honestly shocking how absolutely terrible he is at this. Like, even above and beyond the ways he's shitty at everything else.

Ronnie Eldridge, a Fixture in N.Y. Politics, Dies at 95

Ronnie Eldridge, inspiring & unassuming, was still organizing from her living room in 2008, when she found me flyering for Obama at 72d St sta & asked if I'd form a local group w/ her, the start of an invaluable experience & friendship.

May her memory be a blessing.

Hegseth's frat boy manner is more suited to discussing video games than military conflict. If you had voted for the smart lady the cabinet officials would have sounded like grown ups.

I was happy to see a Bald Eagle pass by overhead. The ducks on the nearby river (where the eagle was heading) did not seem nearly as happy and promptly took off.

This is why we need big newsrooms with lots of reporters who can dig into things. www.niemanlab.org/2026/03/with...

I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.

Well would you look at that

NOPE

a light brown and white pitbull smiles right at the camera. she has a light pink nose mottled with black, light brown eyes, and a large goose-egg lump on the top of her noggin, over by her left ear. her name is strawberry.

strawberry the pitbull sits in some grass and looks up at you while wearing a felt strawberry costume. it’s a red cape with yellow dots for the seeds, and she’s wearing a green leafy hat, with one leaf gingerly propped up on top of her head lump.

a mostly white pitbull with a light brown spot over her eye and ear and a big raised lump on her head snuggles with two kids on a gray sofa. she’s tucked in under a striped blanket, her head resting on one kid’s chest and with the other leaning lovingly on her back. she has the most contented and peaceful sleeping face.

This is Strawberry. She was almost euthanized in a shelter because of the bump on her noggin. Fortunately it was harmless scar tissue from an old injury. Her unique appearance helped her get the attention of a forever family, who love her just the way she is. 14/10 (IG: strawberrytheunicorndog)

Good news that the execrable Kristi Noem has been fired, but Trump should really be firing Stephen Miller, the primary engineer of the vile ethnic reengineering agenda and murderously violent civic tensions that are sucking all of them into a bottomless political sinkhole, Trump included.

[Exit Murderer.]

Now that her career is over will Noem let her face deflate to its factory settings. Who even cares. Hope she is held accountable for all the misery she caused.
