Perhaps we should acknowledge those who had the courage, or the wisdom, to end the wars once it was obvious that the costs outweighed the benefits. warontherocks.com/remembrance-...

It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby—a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist—to unveil our first portrait together.

“It’s a tragic tale- a once-confident nation making such a fearful, self-harming decision. Our economy…politics… daily lives in 2026 – all of it bears the imprint of that calamitous error” Brexit 10yrs on. Nothing to celebrate. Except the likelihood we’ll rejoin. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is not news related but I found this arrangement last night of the classic Libertango and it is EXTRAORDINARY. I play the accordion so I have even more respect for the soloist. He's a wizard. youtu.be/GnyAgOWhMnk?...

“I would say to them: ‘That’s totally fine. You have a choice...But there are still consequences to the choices we make... And so you can either be a willing helper & a partner w/ me in this... or you can battle me on it. But either way, you can’t be in school.’” 🛟 health policy 😷 sociology

Albanian anti-corruption prosecutors on Tuesday froze the bank accounts of a landholding company tied to a controversial $4 billion luxury resort project backed by Jared Kushner,Trump’s son-in-law.

Officially the longest article I have written, relying on 300+ pages of contemporaneous operational material, including war diaries, action and after-action reports, deck logs, and intelligence summaries, recreates an account of Task Force 50.3's attacks on Rabaul on November 11, 1943. My latest⬇️

The White House has cut or frozen billions in scientific research funds that had been approved by Congress. It’s an assault on the rule of law and on the security, health, and prosperity of all Americans. bit.ly/42ytB9B

🪼 Your tax dollars paid a scientist to squeeze jellyfish through cheesecloth. Osamu Shimomura processed tens of thousands on an NSF grant to understand why they glow. He found a protein that glowed green under UV light. Called it "green protein." Nobody cared. For decades.

Proud to be part of this fight. The slush fund is a fraud on the court, and the American people. Thank you, @briefingwithpsaki.bsky.social

The head of DHS is on record saying detainees are refusing to eat, they prefer their own cultural fare. The Head of DHSsaid once they get back to their home they will have it. I don’t understand how a Res Eligible resident can say that without knowing the recipes. food.ebci-nsn.gov/recipes/

/11. AUSA suggests that when grand jurors voted no bill the first time, they asked grand jurors who had “made up their mind” not to participate in the next ones.

Exactly right.

Blanche never had an intention to carry out that promise

Lawrence O'Donnell was first to report on this. What's happening with Blanche is not by accident. It's a test. It's a pin prick, compared to what they really want to do, which is bypass Congress for all funding. Vought, vetted & installed by the Heritage Society, promised this. End of democracy.

People who want a parliamentary system forget they have produced people like Berlusconi and Bibi and made it almost impossible to get rid of them. Margaret Thatcher ruled the UK for more than 12 years.

Tis the season of recriminations. War crimes are war crimes. A nation doesn’t get a pass on it by being an Allie. LOAC defines the types of War crimes, so one maybe learn to avoid them, if one chooses to commit a crime, what’s the evidence used. stanforddaily.com/2026/02/18/a...

In Las Vegas , what to do?

Everything about this Admin. is theater, reality TV, manufactured drama. They are not governing a nation they are raping & pillaging. This is just another Ocean's 11. Keep your eyes on the distraction while they drain our treasury. It's who they are & the only thing they know how to do. Not one /1
