British Columbia to make daylight saving time permanent The Canadian province is permanently ending the biannual time shifts for more light at the day's end. But research shows daylight saving increases health risks.

ICE has spun a massive surveillance web. We talked to people caught in it The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE and Border Patrol, is using a broad web of surveillance tools β€” purchased as its budget has ballooned under this administration β€” to monitor, apprehend and intimidate the people it seeks to deport and the U.S. citizens critical of its policies.

GREAT new resource from us:

You can now flip through the financial disclosures of Trump officials.

See what they own --and how much they're worth.

See who's worked where-- and how much they banked.

Want the folks connected to Palintir? Please enjoy.

U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflictβ€”and 9000
miles from North Americaβ€”makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

CENTCOM: β€œAs of 7:30 am ET, March 2, four U.S. service members have been killed in action. The fourth service member, who was seriously wounded during Iran’s initial attacks, eventually succumbed to their injuries.

Major combat operations continue and our response effort is ongoing.”

Trump admin officials acknowledged in closed-door briefings with congressional staff that there was no intelligence suggesting Iran planned to attack U.S. forces first.

That undercuts one of the key arguments for the war made by senior admin officials.

U.S. cybersecurity experts say Americans should be prepared for cyberattacks launched by Iran or its allies following U.S. strikes.

Iran has in the past targeted critical infrastructure in the U.S. like ports, water plants or hospitals, and it’s likely that groups supporting Tehran may look to strike back against U.S. interests.

β€œWe should be vigilant,” James Winebrenner, CEO of the cybersecurity firm Elisity, told the AP in an email. He said to β€œexpect heightened retaliatory activity in the coming days and weeks.”

Part of the context here is that Bucks County recently elected an anti-ICE sheriff to replace their pro-ICE sheriff. The actions of Quakertown police (which is separate) are best understood as a gang that sees its power to intimidate slipping and so has initiated a violent suppression campaign.

πŸ‘€The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.

The Pentagon Just Sent a Terrifying Message to AI Companies It warned Anthropic it will β€œpay a price” if it continues to demand its products have safeguards.

Trump’s so-called Department of War is threatening to cut ties with Anthropic because it won’t help the Pentagon conduct mass surveillance on Americans or make fully autonomous weapons that the administration can use however it likes. Anthropic refused unfettered use.

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared. ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%.

IRS improperly disclosed confidential immigrant tax data to DHS The tax agency only recently discovered it improperly disclosed tax information on thousands of the wrong people to immigration enforcement.

🚨 SCOOP: The IRS improperly disclosed confidential immigrant tax information to DHS, per sources.

It opens up HUGE liability for the US government.

Trump is suing the IRS over substantially the same disclosures -- for $10 billion.
