Dow 45,000?
I'm just asking questions
The below remains true, but there’s another type of group the Trump admin is adding to its terrorist lists: Muslim Brotherhood branches.
Next up, March 16, the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood becomes an officially designated Foreign Terrorist Organization. (Lebanese MB already is a FTO.)

Lots going on at the Department of Government at the University of Essex!
They tell the boss they wear size 15 shoes because everything is a, um, foot-measuring contest with these guys
This week's column: choose your university wisely
Post-1992 providers have been rapidly expanding business, law and computing courses. Yet the returns for students 5 years after graduating from these courses have, to date, been woeful

Controlling for A-level grades, grads from pre-1992 universities earn about the same as those from Russell group universities
Explosion at US embassy in Oslo may have been terrorism, Norway police say www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Pretty small explosion/vandalism. Possibly comparable: in 2024, there were a few hand grenades or other devices thrown at Israeli embassies in Sweden and Denmark
So it’s sort of an organization of American states, you could say?
Local Massachusetts weekly says it's confirmed that the Pentagon was relying on Claude for strike targeting, which is how they came to bomb a girls' school.

London: Four men arrested on suspicion of assisting Iran's intelligence service in surveillance of Jewish people and institutions

As @sanho.bsky.social points out, the US has been doing counter-narcotics stuff in Ecuador for a long time. (I was there with the Marines in the Clinton years - yes I'm old.)
So it's hard to know if this is a real escalation, or just social media content creation.
Either way, multi-front war...
Here we go again: “CIA working to arm Kurdish forces to spark uprising in Iran, sources say”

Yes, this. It seems there's always war somewhere, but this current conflict is so extensive - missiles & drones hitting a dozen countries! - and the chance of escalation and diffusion is real.
100s of millions of people affected, and many more worried about family and friends.
To save time, let me tell you what is going to happen: War will continue a few days or a couple weeks. Then, fearing domestic impact of rising gas prices, increasing regional chaos and not having a plan for what's next, Trump will cut a deal with whoever's in charge in Tehran.

U.S. Central Command officials announced Sunday that three U.S. service members were killed in action during combat operations.

They’re becoming more common in the UK, especially the EVs seen as alternatives to Tesla, like BYD. Also Jaecoos.
The Trump admin has mostly added 3 types of groups to the Foreign Terrorist Organization list:
1. Latin American crime groups, e.g., Venezuelan
2. Iran-backed groups
3. European antifa/left groups
He's used the terrorist designations to justify
1. Maduro grab
2. Iran strike
3. ...?
At all three places where I taught, veterans and military students are admired for their service, their ability to get their academic work done quickly and extremely well, and for often balancing family and school.
Not *once* have I ever heard a faculty member disparage a military student.
Riyadh, Doha, Abu Dhabi— BBC is reporting all are experiencing explosions.
All three have significant US military bases.
Drug cartels - they have accountants, too! Recovered spreadsheets from the Cartel de Jalisco show its expenses, such as payments to staff and what seem to be bribes to particular governments and police officials. Data goldmine. www.eluniversal.com.mx/nacion/la-na...

This seems bad: "What the escape of at least 15,000 detainees means for ISIS" by @colinpclarke.bsky.social wapo.st/3OMW33L
Important case to watch: "9 Accused of Antifa Ties After a Violent ICE Protest Begin Trial in Texas" www.nytimes.com/2026/02/24/u...
Legally this is all quite questionable because there is no law to designate a domestic group a terrorist organization. (Noteworthy: one defendant is a former Marine.)
