THREAD: Misinformation in the Iran/US/Israel war - 3 March This viral video claims to show the aftermath of a reported drone attack on the US embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, tonight. But the video was posted last week to TikTok, and shows an unrelated car accident in Riyadh.

#LunarEclipse FAQ: Q: Is it safe to look at? A: Absolutely! Unlike a solar eclipse, there's no UNsafe time to look at a lunar eclipse. Q: Do I need a telescope? A: Nope! Best view is with naked eye. Just look up! Q: Does the eclipse portend terror & doom? A: Not at all! The news has that covered.

It’s not quite 9:30, but it feels like midnight. Will shut down after the Warriors game, which is basically over.

Thinking they can do stuff that will force the Almighty’s hand kind of hangs a lampshade about how fundamentalist Christianity is at root about creating God in the image of Man

“Many of their commanders are especially delighted with how graphic this battle will be zeroing in on how bloody all of this must become in order to fulfill and be in 100% accordance with fundamentalist Christian end of the world eschatology.”

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints. One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

As I explain via the latest “One First,” the only theme that unites the Supreme Court’s (unrelated) grants of emergency relief Monday night in the California transgender student and New York redistricting cases is what might be called “selective judicial impatience.” And that’s *not* a good thing:

Rick Hasen on today: “to me the headline is the Justice Alito concurrence which states that race conscious districting as required not just by the federal Voting Rights Act but also state acts and state constitutions is “unadorned” and “odious” racial discrimination.” electionlawblog.org?p=154596

Q: "Do you think that Donald Trump should be deposed by this Committee?" Hillary Clinton: "Absolutely." "Donald Trump has been held civilly liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers … That is behavior that fits a pattern if one were looking for a pattern."

these betting sites need to be outlawed yesterday

For many in the US today, their beliefs are written first by their politics and only a distance second by their faith; and if the two conflict, they’ll go with ideology over theology any day. Leaders like Leo help us see the difference: and I’m pretty sure they would call Jesus even worse things.

Supreme Court once again declares children to be owned property without agency or individual rights

I mean, this can’t have been in the plan, can it? I hope there’s a thorough investigation into what Rubio did to protect embassies alongside the investigation into the failure to defend the Kuwait operations center. There won’t be, of course.

This is infuriating. Even if you're someone who believes we need capitalism in our medicine (why?), modern HIV drugs prevent transmission. Taking access away from 16,000 in Florida (and many more to come elsewhere) means we're making a lot more people sick. Which is very bad capitalism, actually.

you can have a dinner that celebrates the First Amendment or a dinner that features Donald Trump but you cannot have both

The US embassy in Saudi Arabia is currently on fire. Somebody kick Hegseth off his barstool. Somebody else just kick Rubio. Fuck these guys. Seriously. Fuck these guys

And depending on how tomorrow breaks by demographic, we’ll have that conversation too.

MPD body cam footage from DOGE raid on US Institute of Peace RECEIVED 😎 I'll be watching and sharing news and takeaways in the coming days. Stay tuned!

White House's "War Powers Report" to Congress for attack on Iran.⬇️ Two conspicuous absences: 1. The word "imminent" appears nowhere. There is thus no justification in the Report for proceeding without prior congressional authorization. 2. No reference to wellbeing/protection of Iranian people.

All the more reason to shut it down! If morality and the physical and mental health of those incarcerated doesn’t matter to some people, perhaps the waste of their taxes will.

they didn’t do it with CA, but are now toying with the idea that the constitution means “Republicans get to gerrymander but Democrats can’t”

#SCOTUS just granted emergency relief in *both* the California teachers case (putting back on hold, at least in this case, California’s law barring teachers from outing transgender students to their parents) *and* the Malliotakis redistricting cases. The Democratic appointees dissented in both.

Wishing a happy Purim to all who celebrate. May the holiday remind us of the values of courage, faith, survival, community and taking care of those less fortunate among us.

Lynda and Stewart Resnick are finally seeing the fruits of their labor as the US and Israel bomb girls' schools and hospitals in Iran If you're not already boycotting The Wonderful Company for their water hoarding shenanigans, now's a good time to start (FIJI Water, Teleflora, POM, and more)

God I would laugh so hard if Dems got a House majority before the mid-terms.

If you can manipulate the President with logic like this, it should be relatively easy for a Nigerian prince to empty a few of his bank accounts. *see also other motivated people trying to steer the old man -- Putin, Erdogan, Miller, Kennedy, Rubio, Loomer, Vance, Thiel, Musk, Burgum, Zeldin, etc.

Secretary Rubio's remarks indicate that Israel put U.S. forces in harm's way by insisting on attacking Iran. And the administration was complicit—joining their war instead of talking them down. This is unacceptable of the President, and unacceptable of a country that calls itself our ally.

Candyland has a tragic backstory. It used to be a thriving kingdom with a rich ecosystem until corruption destroyed the land, resulting in dessertification.

🚨BREAKING: Virginia voters will head to the polls starting Friday to weigh in on a plan to redraw the state’s congressional map in response to GOP gerrymanders in other states after a court ruled* that election preparations can move forward. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

the dem messaging here about Saudis dictating our war and media pretty much writes itself

I'm wagering that dude has basal cell carcinoma that's being treated with topical chemotherapy, and that being the Trump administration they're weird and cagey about it.

There is no credible evidence that ivermectin has any impact as a cancer treatment. If you choose to take it instead of undergoing standard treatment, you will die from your cancer.

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

The law firms that fought back against Trump’s unprecedented offensive prevailed — the DOJ is now dropping its appeals — while the firms that tried appeasement have struggled. Seems like firms from the latter group should join the firms in the former? www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

lol at the tourists in dubai being like ‘what do you mean i took my vacation at The Neiman-Marcus That Kills You’

BREAKING: Credible whistleblower discloses that FBI forensic experts were ordered to stand down from processing the scene where Renee Good was killed, because Kash Patel did not want Good referenced as a “victim” in the warrant.

Rick Steves in Iran. It’s from 2009, still so much good information in it:

Federal judge: I've been at this for 44 years. I have never encountered the hostility toward the judiciary that has existed in this country in the last year.

Oh for fuck’s sake.
