Scientists and other experts were preparing an assessment of the health of nature in the US when Trump returned to the White House. He canceled the report. The researchers went ahead and compiled it on their own. This week, they released a 868-p draft for public comment and scientific review.

Isata Kanneh-Mason absolutely tears through Rachmaninoff’s fiendish Piano Concerto No. 3 with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.
Trump has made billions from the presidency and he is now using the services for our military dead as an opportunity to sell his branded merchandise (the cap). He should not be wearing headwear of any kind at this moment, let alone something he sells on the internet. This is indecent.
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.
Iran is home to some of the oldest and most ingenious water distribution networks in the world, the qanat systems of underground aqueducts. Worth whatever prayers you indulge in as the USA viciously destroys desalination plants and other critical infrastructure. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qanat

NEW: Iran continued drone and ballistic missile attacks on Gulf states despite President Masoud Pezeshkian’s order to suspend strikes unless attacks on Iran originated from their territory. Iran has also continued to launch ballistic missile barrages at Israel. 🧵(1/3) isw.pub/IranUpdate03...
Multiple news outlets are reporting a US attack on an Iranian #desalination plant.
If verified, this violates international law protecting #water systems during wars, and it sets a dangerous precedent, given intense dependence of Gulf countries on desalination.

The laws of war as reflected in US military practice since the days of George Washington say that civilian noncombatants are to be shielded from harm. But Hegseth doesn't approve of such "stupid rules of engagement," apparently. He'll wind up in the docks at The Hague. bsky.app/profile/atru...

She lied.
One Texas woman in Dubai called the State Department hotline, was scolded for being scared and then hung up on.

Drone strikes on Amazon Web Services facilities this week in the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain highlight the vulnerability of cloud facilities — prominent symbols of US tech power in the region and hard to defend against air attack. Fars News Agency, an outlet affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said on Thursday that Iran targeted Amazon and Microsoft facilities in recent drone strikes. Experts say Amazon’s facilities were likely targeted by Iran. Microsoft said it had not experienced any outages in the region.
