Well dorks. You know what to do.

Get out to the @standupforscience.bsky.social SAN FRAN RALLY TOMORROW AND YELL ABOUT IT!

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

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.

My report:

I can't remember who offered up "orders that are illegal to give but not to follow" point recently, but that's basically it as far as this whole stupid war goes

an illegal war "strategically" does not have direct bearing on whether a specific tactical action violated LOAC

"I feel liberated," said a top banker. "We can say 'retard' and 'pussy' withtout the fear of getting cancelled... its a new dawn"

We should never ever forget why they did it

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

That Iranian Navy ship we torpedoed had no ammunition on board because that was a requirement to participate in the MILAN 2026 exercise (organized by the Indian Navy).

The US Navy knew this because IT ALSO PARTICIPATED IN THE EXERCISE. What a national embarrassment.

Hungary seized two Ukrainian cash transport vehicles with $40M, 35M euros and 9kg of gold, detaining seven Oshchadbank staff. FM Sybiha calls it "state terrorism and racketeering." GPS puts the vehicles in central Budapest near a security agency.

Deep Dive: The CIA's Kurdish gambit and the war game with Iran When intelligence agencies leak information, it is rarely accidental. The CIA's recent disclosure of US involvement with Iranian Kurdish factions as a potential tool to pressure Iran, therefore, deman...

"So how does Washington move partners it cannot honestly reassure? By manufacturing public pressure. A leak that frames Kurdish engagement as already underway creates expectations among regional audiences, among Iranian intelligence, and critically, within Kurdish political communities themselves."

This story contains scenes worthy of Kafka.

Yeah

If Caroline Elkins’ book, Legacy of Violence, means anything, it’s that the practice of systemic, unspeakable violence comes draped in the language of Enlightenment values, which must be forced on the savages to make them human, like us. They will eventually appreciate our efforts at civilising them

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

Update: American Marines were among the security personnel who opened fire on protesters by the US Consulate in Karachi, Pakistan on Sunday, where 10 people were killed.

I have a pit in my stomach thinking through the many ways in which this goes very, very wrong.

Thousands of Kurdish volunteers have launched a ground invasion with CIA-supplied arms in Western Iran, according to a US official.

I feel sorry for them.

Trump is using Putin’s meatgrinder tactics.

This will go down well in Baghdad, Damascus, and Ankara

BREAKING: CIA is 'working to arm Kurdish forces' in Iran, per CNN

Congrats on sinking a ship built in 1938 with a nuclear powered submarine

silly line chart meme showing progress toward democratic socialism as a function of charts posted

for real it works like this 😭

It was well outside the Maritime Exclusion Zone that the UK created at the start of the conflict...it posed no threat

bro free speech means wagering on nuclear war by 2026 bro

It is giving General Belgrano vibes

Update from John Ismay

"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said that the U.S. used a submarine-launched torpedo to sink an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean — the first time an American submarine has been used to fire a torpedo against an enemy ship in combat since World War II."

If he wasn't a coward, he would have changed his name from Vince to Shamwow

As Clausewitz wrote, the decisive factor in war is which military leader can bench press the most.

This is a real video from October 2025 of U.S. Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee—who is also a Christian Zionist that believes Israel plays a key role in fulfilling Biblical end times prophecy—playing bass to 'Sweet Home Yerushalayim' (to the tune of 'Sweet Home Alabama')

Exclusive: Defense executives plan to meet at White House as strikes on Iran diminish stockpiles Companies including Lockheed Martin and Raytheon parent RTX have been invited.

Three days into a war of choice with no public support, the billions are adding up quickly: "Pentagon may seek around $50 billion supplemental budget for Middle East operations." $50 billion!

Bro is the first motherfucker to shoot down a single F-15 in action. And he shoots down three.

There may be an asterisk to this achievement.

I mean, they used the anarcho-syndicalist Kurds in Syria when they needed a ground army…

The question I have is why the Iranian Kurds wouldn’t look at the experience of Rojava and uh doubt the value of US patronage
