β€œThe Intern in Charge”: Meet the 22-Year-Old Trump’s Team Picked to Lead Terrorism Prevention One year out of college and with no apparent national security expertise, Thomas Fugate is the Department of Homeland Security official tasked with overseeing the government’s main hub for combating v...

The Republicans seem to be prepping an argument that any domestic terror attacks in the aftermath of their Iran attacks will be the fault of Democrats for shutting down DHS funding, so I'd like to remind everyone of this appointment:

Lost 19th century film by Méliès discovered at the Library | Timeless Library conservators recently made a startling discovery in a batch of decaying film reels -- a long-lost 1897 film by early cinema icon George Méliès. The French magician-turned-filmmaker's

Librarians help identify the film among those donated from the great-grandson of a Pennsylvania potato farmer who "drove his horse and buggy from town to town to dazzle the locals with a projector and some of the world’s first moving pictures" πŸ“œ

Military officials question fortifications at site where U.S. troops were killed in Iranian strike The first American service members to die in the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran were killed in an apparent Iranian drone attack on a makeshift office space in Kuwait, sources told CBS News.

On the 6 US troops who died at Shuaiba port in Kuwait: Troops asked for more drone defeat capabilities, none came. It was recommended that the makeshift tactical operations center not be used because it was hard to defend and concentrated too many troops in one place. www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-st...

I’m really not following the logic of moving to Dubai because you are furious that there are too many Muslims in London.

Trump/Hegseth operational security: at Joe’s Stone Crab, a restaurant a 2-minute walk from the White House, someone was having a conversation about the attacks on Iran that were going to start in 6 hours. Loud enough for the founder of @TMZ.com to recount it in real time with his podcast cohost.

American Eats IRAN!! RARE MiddleEastern Food Tour!! (Full Documentary)
YouTube video by Best Ever Food Review Show American Eats IRAN!! RARE MiddleEastern Food Tour!! (Full Documentary)

I keep thinking about (of all things!) YouTube's Best Ever Food Review Show, and the warm welcome that Sonny and his crew got in Iran... it made me want to visit.

Kind, hospitable people of an ancient, still-living culture who treat us, their "enemies" as neighbors. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lm4J...

While everyone was busy talking about world war three, it occurred to me; should I be focussing on world war me?

Third graders in Steubenville, Ohio, are some of the best little readers in the nation. What’s their secret? An elementary school in Ohio has some of the best young readers in the nation. How they did itβ€”and how a new law put it all at risk.

The third graders in Steubenville, Ohio, beat all the odds and became the strongest little readers in the state.

This week on Reveal, we look at how this school in an economically disadvantaged town became a successβ€”and how a new law puts it all at risk.

I encourage everyone to engage in complex thinking and nuance. The world does not work in a fantasy mindset and posting through it does nothing. I am sorry, I wish we had no armies and world peace and I hate where we are.

The US Military+ ICE are not the same thing. We can hold multiple ideas in our heads: having an army is a deterrent/needed, our history of foreign military interventions/ wars post WW2 is appalling+endless war crimes/ illegal, we spent too much $ on military stuff, service folks are not all evil.
