“How Good Intentions Helped Pave Trump’s Road to Iran”
Trump lying about murdering children
this new york times headline stopped me in my tracks. I am stunned. They posted this on the same day trump lied about bombing a girls’ school. And this isn’t even an op-ed. This is supposed to be news. These people desperately want to be doormats to power. My god. I am at a loss for words.
In Jesse Jackson Jr.’s race, the A.I. industry is spending on his behalf at the same time that the main pro-crypto super PAC is blanketing the district with attacks on one of his opponents, Robert Peters, a Democratic state senator who voted for state legislation that the crypto industry opposed. One of the mailers accuses Mr. Peters of being a “fighter for corporate interests” and calls him a “corporate pawn,” even though the mailer is funded by the crypto industry.
The crypto ads are so nefarious because they *never mention* crypto.
In an IL House race, for example, they accuse the anti-crypto candidate of being too favorable to corporate special interests.
Extremely cynical stuff.
BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers.
This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight.

Apocalyptic scenes from Koohsar Blvd. in the Shahran neighbourhood of northwestern Tehran.
Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.
Hungarian opposition leader Magyar accuses Orban of bringing in Russian military intel to rig the upcoming election. GRU operatives arrived weeks ago, same playbook as Moldova, he says. Magyar demands they be expelled and urges Hungarians to vote on April 12.
The White House is blocking the FBI and top US intelligence agencies from warning law enforcement across the country about new terror threats to the homeland tied to the war with Iran.

Serge Zaka: Over the past ten years, the pace of warming has reached about 0.35°C per decade, compared to about 0.2°C per decade between 1970 and 2015. The corrected data show that an acceleration in climate warming is now detectable since 2015, with a statistical certainty greater than 98%.
"War is mankind's most tragic and stupid folly; to seek or advise its deliberate provocation is a black crime against all men. Though you follow the trade of the warrior, you do so in the spirit of Washington -- not of Genghis Khan. For Americans, only threat to our way of life justifies resort to conflict." Graduation Exercises at the United States Military Academy, 6/3/47 "Possibly my hatred of war blinds me so that I cannot comprehend the arguments they adduce. But, in my opinion, there is no such thing as a preventive war. Although this suggestion is repeatedly made, none has yet explained how war prevents war. Worse than this, no one has been able to explain away the fact that war creates the conditions that beget war." Remarks at Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 10/19/50 [DDE's Pre-Presidential Papers, Principal File, Box
Was browsing the Eisenhower Library site this morning trying to find a quote I remembered.
President Eisenhower, WW2 military hero:
“In my opinion, there is no such thing as a preventive war… none has yet explained how war prevents war.”

Maybe people will wake up to the fact that the AI push has been about paying workers even less and taking away job security.
Less "prompt engineering" and more labor organizing.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Have said this before in other forms, but will reiterate it here: if you're doing long-form writing of any sort, reading the words aloud into a microphone is a completely unparalleled cheat code. It's free, easy, and so effective it feels like it shouldn't be allowed. I do it in a few stages...

Few people lobbied President Trump to intervene militarily in Iran as effectively as the hawkish and persistent Sen. Lindsey Graham.
They're stealing the voice of Sinead O'Connor, who risked her own career in 1992 by speaking up about child sexual abuse in the Catholic church, so let's make this theft an occasion to keep talking about Trump in the Epstein files.

You can view all the clips from the DOGE raid on USIP that I uploaded—which were obtained via my FOIA lawsuit against DC Metropolitan Police—here: www.youtube.com/@marisa_kabas
After the DOGE group showed up but before MPD arrived, the USIP building had been placed in lockdown mode, meaning all interior doors were locked and elevators were no longer operable. So once in the building, MPD needed to manually break down interior doors to give Trump's team full access.
SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.
