#Lebanon Ministry of Health: 303 killed and 1,150 injured in yesterday’s attack by Israel. Among them 110 children, women and elderly. There are still people under the rubble.

Hall of fame FT correction

God I hate this genre. These kids who protested Gaza got arrested, expelled, beaten up, doxxed, lives ruined by outside agitators and were utterly betrayed by the administrations that should have protected them at any cost. Shut the fuck up.

Israel hit all over Beirut. Strikes were in nearly all the neighborhoods surrounding my house. Reports saying many injured and dead. Israel seems to be intensifying before a ceasefire is implemented

ICE just shot another person

today sure feels like one of the all time ‘so i still just gotta go and do my little job during all this?!’ moments

If an entire civilization dies tonight it will have happened without any real pushback from Congress and, it has to be said, without a lot of specifically directed public protests against this war from the American people

Since the war between Israel and Hezbollah reignited on March 2, Israeli airstrikes have killed at least 57 health professionals as of Monday, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.

Members of Elon Musk’s private security team were deputized as federal agents last year even though some of them lacked the required training and law enforcement experience, according to newly released government emails. nbcnews.to/4dBXjkR

DC has a once-in-a-generation chance to fix its housing crisis through the 2050 Comp Plan rewrite. OP's current proposal squanders it. I built a tool so you can see exactly where they're falling short: dc2050.org 1/4

like yes, obviously, this is always who they were, this is always where they wanted to end up but it’s pretty depressing how fast they were able to move to being completely open with it no fig leaves, no bullshit excuses, just “fire all the black people and the women”

it’s not surprising exactly but it is still shocking just how fast we’ve moved from “woke was excessive” framing to open and explicit white male supremacy

Guess I know what I am rereading this weekend (and also, his biography of Nichols is amazing, highly recommend: bookshop.org/p/books/mike...)

Pam Bondi wonders what the Dow is up to right now

Foreclosures on VA loans are at their highest level in a decade. VA has a fix but it is months away and could still leave vets worse off than most other homeowners. n.pr/4c5heWU

Adam means that she is the daughter of immigrants, but it is worth emphasizing that *every* U.S. citizen who has not been naturalized is a birthright citizen, either by the 14th Amendment or by statute.

"trans ideology is a sickness." [reads the news] "people's personal affairs are none of our business and we should talk about immigration"

We are being run by the absolute biggest bunch of dumbshits

Mark is an incredible legal journalist and it's absurd to see others dogpile him over his coverage of today's conversion therapy decision.

Tanking the economy to do more racism.

"ICE agents will be stationed outside graduation events for the nation’s newest Marines to identify whether any of their family members are undocumented, according to the Marine Corps."

Since the headline is a bit confusing, the NYT is reporting that on the same day we hit the girl's school in Minab, we also sent a missile full of tungsten steel pellets at a girl's volleyball tournament hundreds of miles away in Lamerd. Twenty one dead. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/w...

This is how the Kardashians (famously and on TV) shake their salads and yet I don't see them being described as going through public life without mercy.

The Trump administration has long blamed immigrants for the nation’s housing problems. But that rhetoric is rapidly turning into action at the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Here’s how:

"A statue of Jefferson Davis still holds pride of place inside the Capitol a mile or two from where we are meeting. “I mean, are there statues of Adolf Hitler in Berlin?” Stevenson asks." My Lunch with Bryan Stevenson - one of the most remarkable people I've met. as.ft.com/r/03ca3d70-9...

i said last year that these people were segregationists and that “merit” just meant “white and male” to these people

80 degree day, peak bloom for cherry blossoms, and @darthbluesky.bsky.social is back

This is an absolute scandal; the United States government is deliberately consolidating all deportation cases of an ethnic minority that the President has called "garbage" in front of a handpicked group of judges and with dramatically accelerated timeline. A lawsuit was filed yesterday against it.

“Last month, a Guatemalan man surrendered his two cats. He wept as he said goodbye, knowing he would probably be detained when he reported to court days later. “He adored those cats, and they loved him,” said Ms. Robilotta of Animal Rescue New Orleans...” www.nytimes.com/2026/03/23/u...

I don't even know what to say about how bad this is. People have been denied due process by not being able to attend court hearings for fear of being kidnapped; other people HAVE been kidnapped for showing up to do the exact thing we say we want.

Love, actually

The oil crisis we created in the Strait of Hormuz only exacerbates the need to ween ourselves off fossil fuels and invest in renewable energy. Instead, Trump is burning a billion dollars to kill an offshore wind project that was already approved and force the company to invest in Texas oil

Trump: I’m going to put ICE in the airports, where they will target and arrest all the illegals, especially Somalis, because I hate the Democrats Headlines: Trump puts ICE officers in airports to ease long lines, provide relief for weary travelers

NEW: Some DHS contractors told White House officials they were asked to pay Corey Lewandowski, a top adviser to Kristi Noem.

Outrageous. Stripping Liam Conejo Ramos and his family of asylum is beyond cruel and indefensible. This decision must be overturned. Shame.

We are ruled by tyrants. "“I do believe I’ll have the honor of taking Cuba,” Mr. Trump said Monday. When pressed, he declined to say whether that would be a diplomatic or military move, saying only “I think I can do anything I want with it.”" www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/w...
