oh my goodness -- watch Mike Johnson, Scalise, Emmer, and McClain clap like seals for Trump for nearly two minutes straight. None of them want to be the first to stop!

Tweet from matt (@mattxiv):
using the passive "dead" and the active "killed" in the SAME HEADLINE is absolutely diabolical

Like at this point it’s no secret to the people writing these headlines that this kind of thing has been roundly criticized for years and years. It’s an intentional, conscientious decision on their part. They know they’re propagandists (and, for better or worse, we all are!).

Irish Daily Mail Facebook page managed from Israel β€œCall DMG," said John Lee.

The executive editor at the Irish Daily Mail has refused to comment on the paper’s Facebook page being run from Israel – claiming he β€œwouldn’t be licensed” to do so

John Lee said he couldn’t say anything about the page’s three account managers in Israel

The population of Lebanon is not even half the pop of Tehran. Since it began pummeling Lebanon, Israel has already forced the displacement of 500,000. Just today, it has killed 74 Lebanese. The total death toll is approx 400.

These are insane numbers. A slaughter even worse than in Iran

Every so often I remember the Irish immigration system is so dysfunctional that the Brazilian community here had to set up a WhatsApp group to help find each other after the DoJ kept returning their passports to the wrong people #speirghorm

The Gist: The Very Hungry Killerpillar Seemingly to their own surprise, the Trump administration goes to war with Iran. This is the Gist.

"Which takes us to Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth, a man who achieves the rare feat of being both eager to show off his hard muscles and yet somehow also personifying erectile dysfunction."

In other words Trump-Netanyahu have effectively carried out massive uncontained poison gas attacks on Tehran and its people.

This is what International Women's Day is for. Not 'Happy Women's Day'. It's not our birthday. It's a day to recognise those who fought, and who still needs fighting for.

Israelis are denying Arab Israelis access to their bunkers. Why would they tolerate Iranians?
And the US is gunning its own citizens down in the street for their rejection of their vigilante racism.

It's a laughable idea that they'd take Iranians in now.

Marion McKeone: Trump’s war with Iran reveals chaos inside the White House war room Trump’s chaotic leadership and conflicting advisers risk turning a volatile Iran conflict into a wider Middle East catastrophe

"That Trump has no comprehension of what he may have unleashed in the Middle East comes as little surprise, but it retains the capacity to shock.

Iran can’t win this war but it can make sure it’s not the only loser."

Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X

I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together.
This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.

Mary Robinson condemns US β€˜attacks on truth’ during women’s day rally Addressing an International Women’s Day rally in Belfast, she claimed the current United States administration is β€œflooding the atmosphere with lies”

β€œWe have an administration in the United States which is flooding the atmosphere with lies, not to be believed, but to confuse, that there is no truth.

β€œTruth is our relations with each other… we must flourish together. We must know there is strength in our solidarity through that solidarity.”

I hope you're right, because it feels like everyone's spend the last 2.5 years embracing the Israeli model of 'atrocity with impugnity' and is primed to let anyone do anything they want without consequence at this stage.

Investigators now say the U.S. likely bombed a girls’ school in Iran, killing over 160 people, mostly children. If confirmed, it would rank among the worst civilian massacres of America’s Middle East wars.
