A Saudi official saying this on Al Jazeera, a Qatari media outlet, is far more telling than any nugget of information carefully leaked to an American media outlet. This war will permanently alter the relationship of the Gulf states, the US, and Israel.

Breaking News: The Trump administration abandoned its efforts to impose potentially crippling orders against law firms that refused to bow to the president.

Less than 72 hours after the first U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, the conflict had ricocheted well beyond the original targets, threatening some 300 million civilians across more than a dozen nations.

Well, the next edition of @status.news should be a doozy.

i think jesse jackson was one of the most important american political figures of the post-war era and i think that his 1984 and 1988 campaigns for the democratic nomination still have a great deal to teach about forging a path to a more egalitarian world. RIP.

OBAMA: “People make excuses for him. They say he’s not serious. Everything a president says is serious!”🔥

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
