Children fall asleep to the sound of bombs, empty tables fill homes destroyed by war and siege. We are not numbers — we are real families trying to survive. If you can help, even a small donation makes a real difference for my children. - Sama’a 🤍 @mommunism.bsky.social chuffed.org/project/157569

Texas Public Radio reveals that the Trump administration is sending pregnant migrant girls — some as young as 13, many survivors of sexual assault — to a single detention facility in San Benito, Texas, already flagged as medically inadequate. Why? https://youtube.com/shorts/XhhyF8nQ-C0

“Now it’s probably the case that Trump stumbled into the term ‘excursion.‘ It surely wasn’t the word that Trump was meant to use. As part of their effort to avoid the word “war,” his aides must have advised Trump to call it an ‘incursion.’” This has been reported elsewhere—EXcursion was INcursion.

The Detroit News reported, citing two anonymous sources, that the shooter had relatives killed days earlier in an Israeli strike in Lebanon. ground.news/article/judg...

CNN at the site of an Israeli strike in Lebanon that killed 9 people, including 5 children: "We're told it was a yogurt factory by the neighbors here." "The children's bodies, we're told, are in pieces and are going to take a while to identify the DNA so that they can actually do a burial."

This is as sick and twisted as it gets: Profiting off the deaths of America's military service members, in a fundraising email, Trump raked in cash off a photo from the dignified transfer. 😡😡😡

Absolute Queen behavior from the Zamboni Rider today at the Minnesota Frost game. No ICE No War No Kings No Fear.

I dunno… maybe if you’ve directly contributed to the deaths of thousands you should fear for your own life?

Tell university and college presidents to reject ICE cooperation agreements and defend campus freedom. In this crucial moment, university leaders must make clear that their institutions will not serve as extensions of federal immigration enforcement.

Donald Trump is notorious for filing lawsuits at the drop of a hat. He's filed over 4,000 of them. Many for defamation. But Donald *will not* sue Ted Lieu for defamation. Why? He's been told by lawyers that in defamation actions, truth is an absolute defense.

A catastrophically boorish sycophant who used his short tenure to destroy a great institution. Good riddance to Ric Grenell and may this mark the second-to-last time we ever hear his name. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03...

Trump: "You're gonna see a big decrease in the price of gasoline, gas, anything having to do with energy as soon as this is ended"

You mean, “when the pointless war that hikes prices to ridiculous levels is over, the prices will go back to where they were?” Masterful strategy, Maestro!

Congratulations to Richard Grenell for stepping down from the Kennedy Center after a year marked by a mass staff exodus, artists refusing to perform, and ticket sales so low they’re practically underground. Fascism thanks you for your service to the destruction of the arts

Hegseth talks big for someone who has absolutely started crying when the bartender explained they were out of the special green sugar mix to dredge the rim of his appletini glass with.

1/2 This is crucially important point. 1) "No quarter" is indeed specifically war-crime term 2) Under Geneva Conventions, after sinking an enemy ship, the attackers must "take all positive measures" to find and rescue any survivors. Text in next post No evidence US sub did so after attack, AFAIK

Not even the Nazis expressly announced they were committing war crimes. Indeed, at Nuremberg war crimes were denied. But here, openly, the US Secretary for Defense is explicitly admitting to committing war crimes.

Drone warfare has become one of the defining technologies of Russia’s war against Ukraine. The Kyiv Independent spent a night with a drone team from Nemesis, one of Ukraine’s elite drone units, as they carried out bombing missions against Russian positions.

The federal government isn't supposed to detain immigrant children for longer than 20 days. But when a Russian asylum seeker with 5-year-old twins asked why they'd been held for longer, an ICE officer falsely claimed the 20-day rule had been voided. Says who? he asked. "Trump," ICE responded.

Do you believe us now. Have your “just questions” been answered now.

Could the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran lead to another world war?

In other words, the US needs help with drone defenses.

The U.S. military confirmed that all six crew members on an KC-135 aircraft died after the refueling plane went down in western Iraq, raising the U.S. death toll after two weeks of war with Iran. n.pr/4bHFwXO

The secretary of defense saying we almost have cnn in our grasp is some dark, dark shit

✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here. Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning: Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime. And recognized as such by the US Government. From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.
