Statement from the Hughes family after the husband's tragic accidental death. "Please join us in extending grace and mercy to [the students responsible and their families] as Christ has done for us."
THAT is the Christianity I'm sure Jesus would recognize.

Oil disruption benefits Russia, as does less U.S. aid for Ukraine. And Iran distracts from China, argues CFR expert Max Boot for The Washington Post.
"It’s too soon to tell who will win the war between the United States and Iran. But, at this point, my money would be on Russia and China."
May he rest in peace and may his sacrifice not be in vain.

How it works in industrial cities like London and Glasgow. Poor neighbourhoods were built downwind from industries, railways, and factories. Generally winds went going from west to east.
Tonight this means if you live in the East End of Glasgow, close your windows & wear a mask tomorrow morning.

Somebody in my Meeting said something very wise that stuck with me.
Responding to recent events, she said that we should let our anger tell us that something needs to be done, but that we should never let anger tell us what to do.
Remember in 2020, when then President Trump stated that Putin putting bounties on American soldiers was a hoax? I’m convinced that the kompromat Putin has on Trump, is career ending!

Can't read constantly-wagging opponent.
Oh.
“We have agreed” — how nice of them! Surely they’re doing this work pro bono right?
And just like that we’re back to “Department of Defense”
Is anybody else concerned that #ICE is deliberately targeting citizens and abusing them, that it's strategy, not incompetence? The plan is to place ICE at polling stations during #midterms and subsequent elections, so that voters of color will stay away for fear of being seized and abused/deported.
This story still isn’t going away.
Why was this story on the front page of the UK’s Daily Telegraph — but NOT America’s leading newspapers?
DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.
He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.
The grift continues.
Los Angeles County investing in a #MentalHealth village, transforming vacant buildings.
Imagine how much of this we could pay for with just 5% of what #Trump is spending on his unneeded and unconstitutional war with #Iran.

Well would you look at that
After four days of hesitating, the president of France has joined the prime minister of Spain in saying that the 🇺🇸🇮🇱 attack on Iran is a violation of international law.
But they are still the only 2 EU leaders to have done so. Will others join?
There really should be a parade or something to honor them. Maybe a UNESCO conference? An expanding galaxy named for them?
James Talarico’s victory in the Texas Democratic Senate primary shows the power of a class-focused political message. His campaign emphasized economic populism and working-class unity rather than traditional Democratic Party messaging or identity politics.
Hopefully, the system doesn't crush him.

TERRIBLE TIMING: When FBI Director Kash Patel fired a dozen FBI agents and staff last week for their role in the classified documents investigation of Donald Trump, he targeted an elite counter espionage unit that investigates threats from foreign adversaries and specializes in Iran.
🇭🇳 | 10 years ago today, a team of hitmen shot and killed renowned Indigenous activist and environmental defender Berta Cáceres in Honduras. Beyond the material authors of the crime, a new report exposes the role of high-profile elites and international banks: https://bit.ly/4sJiUNl
#OtD 3 Mar 2013 Indigenous Yukpa activist Sabino Romero Izarra was murdered in Venezuela. The govt of Hugo Chavez and foreign corporations had escalated coal mining in Indigenous lands. He was one of 13 Yukpa to have been murdered in the area. More: stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/7942...
FWIW, I think there are enough missiles and other weaponry to more or less demolish Iran. The limiting factors are more likely to be midterms or the strike hitting the US economy hard enough that Trump's backers feel pain. Trump will declare victory whenever it's convenient for him.
Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.
