40-60 mph winds tomorrow and tomorrow night. Wind may briefly spike tomorrow night ahead of the sharp cold front.

Wind won't be as intense as yesterday's (90+ mph peak gusts), but it'll be more widespread.

High fire danger for Denver/I-25 and the Eastern Plains.

the US treasury is degen trading oil futures and it's barely registering at the same time as we're being told the Iran war is over while Hormuz is being mined by Iran; meanwhile, the official DoD contingency planning for this scenario, prior to the Trump firings, was "Do Not Ever Fucking Do This"

FBI warns Iran aspired to attack California with drones in retaliation for war: Alert The warning came in a bulletin that was reviewed by ABC News.

i would not have published this story, as someone who's read literally thousands of threat bulletins cosigned or circulated by the FBI

I wish I could do this with every Iranian dead as well. It’s perverse that we kill so many people whose names we will never know and even never think about.

When you come upon this post in a thread I fear I will keep updating, spare at least a moment for them.

For Mahmoud Khalll, this past year has been marked by profound hardship-and by profound courage.
A year ago, Mahmoud was walking home through our city after sharing an iftar with his wife Noor when he was detained by federal agents, flown to Louisiana, and then held in an ICE facility for months. In that time, he was forced to miss the birth of his first child. All of this for exercising his First Amendment rights in protesting the ongoing genocide in Palestine.
And yet, even in the face of that cruelty, there has also been beauty. New Yorkers raising their voices in solidarity. A city refusing to look away. Mahmoud won his freedom, and a father was finally reunited with his child.
Last night, as we marked the one year anniversary of his detention, Rama and I were honored to welcome Mahmoud, Noor, and their son Deen to Gracie Mansion to break our fast together.
Mahmoud is a New Yorker, and he belongs in New York City. In a dining room, five people eat, chat and smile around a table of food.

Iftar, Day 19

Honestly, not sure I want to know what these numbers are going to look like in a few weeks.

Realistic possibility this is our lowest snowpack peak/earliest melt on record (38 years), based on the outlook for the rest of March.

Still early to talk about summer, but obviously this isn't good.
