To our best knowledge, not a single LNG tanker departed via the Strait of Hormuz during March 2026, and about 20% of the world's supply comes out of the strait. #ONGT #Tankers #LNG #NatGas

Military officials are planning for two potential high-risk ground assaults in Iran—all they need now is President Trump’s go-ahead, three people familiar with the matter said. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

how do you prepare for this case not expecting Gorsuch to ask an Indian law question

Father in law is hosting easter celebration at 2pm Saturday

So what this describes is ethnic cleansing www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/w...

one of the worst political consequences of the "surge" operations is that they fully convinced millions of people that ICE ceases operations when they stop ramming their SUVs into white neighborhoods.

Something profound about going to confession the same day Judas chose to betray Jesus.

Holy Week is the best time of year

objectively the funniest critique an american could level at another country

We literally threatened to invade a NATO ally THIS YEAR. TWO MONTHS AGO.

Brent flirting with the $119.50/barrel highs from the night of March 8. Less than $1 to go.

In hell hegseth will have to live through an eternal aerial bombardment. JDAMs and hellfires landing near his hiding place forever and ever.

I really desperately want to just pray all holy week but nothing I'm facing can be put off at all

Please pray for me, between chores, errands, baby prep, and work, paperwork and running finances plus other stuff, I'm absolutely drowning and I'm at the end of my rope. I'm not sleeping nearly enough and am in the middle of trying to medicate my serious psychiatric condition.

Satellite imagery shows China has assembled a fleet of attack drones converted from fighter jets a short distance from Taiwan. www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

Pope Leo serving as Jeremiah the prophet while Trump surrounds himself with court prophets is too funny

+Pizzaballa: “Today we do not carry palms in procession. Instead, we carry the cross – a cross that is not a useless burden, but the source of true peace. We do not wave olive branches; rather, we choose to become builders of reconciliation, through every gesture, every word, every relationship.”‬

After being denied entrance to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher by Israeli police earlier today, in powerful moment, Cardinal Pizzaballa blessed the city of Jerusalem with a relic of the Holy Cross; the brief service took place at the foot of the Mount of Olives.

This is disturbing And serious

This is an explicit rejection of the Status Quo which has stood for nearly 300 years and Israel agreed to abide by in 1949 If Israel can’t/wont do this they are actively provoking religious conflict with the Christians (specifically Catholics here) www.reuters.com/world/middle...

“As a result, and for the first time in centuries, the Heads of the Church were prevented from celebrating the Palm Sunday Mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre." www.france24.com/en/middle-ea...

when you read his actual statement it seems pretty specifically to be a response to this past week’s fundamentalist ravings from the whiskey-pickled racist cult member from Forest Hills who’s currently cosplaying as defense secretary

"(Jesus) does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them, saying: 'Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen: your hands are full of blood',"

There is no depth to which they won't sink

We have a naval campaign for key maritime terrain being run by Army strategists using the Air Force.

Pictures show the loss of 81-0005, an E-3G Sentry Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) Aircraft with the U.S. Air Force’s 552nd Air Control Wing after Iran's ballistic missile attack yesterday. The rear section where the radome sits was completely obliterated, likely through live targeting

freak the fuck out and panic sell

Purported to be the E-3 AWACS destroyed in Saudi Arabia by an Iranian attack. Photos from Air Force amn/NCO/snco FB

Wouldn’t just call that damaged…..

Feds are fucking wilding in LA:

Glad everyone is on the same page!

Great that you guys have this all figured out.

Omfg it's over

A nationwide protest featuring a lot of people with Iranian flags would be absolutely unimaginable 10 years ago

Really feels like non-grass-touching Bluesky thinks these events are a lot more centrist than they actually are

*E-3 Sentry AWACS taken out by a combined missile and drone strike* The big-brain war knowers: "Ah, yes, like the Viet Cong."

Ok I gotta say how nuts it is to see DSA, FRSO, the ACP, and PSL marching down the street with red banners in New Orelans

Always crazy to see indivisible and FRSO recruiting at the same event

This is actually the only neo-Thomist meme that I support. Kill me for it if you must.

This is an aircraft that costs nearly $300 million and is no longer being made. Its replacement, the E-7, costs roughly $700 million. AWACs aircraft are not only highly valuable but also in high demand.

Somebody's having to explain to Trump why the boring unarmed airliner with a big spinny dome on top is pretty important even though it doesn't drop any bombs or have a big gun.

FWIW the folks I talk to in the oil industry say that if the war continues thru next Friday (ie another week) but then magically ends, then the Philippines (and probably Taiwan) are still going to run out of oil as it’ll still take at least 30 days for the tankers to get from the gulf to Manila

Had to lock replies on my post discussing what looks to be the Houthis' entry into the Yemen war because I can't stand people doing a "new phone, Houthis" meme about a development that is going to see a bunch of ordinary Yemenis killed in Israeli airstrikes

If we're losing AWACS on the ground now we're absolutely going to lose a ship trying to force the strait www.airandspaceforces.com/us-forces-sa...

but seriously, what do you mean the US lost one of its AWACs to Iranian strikes?

Even today Cajuns speak commonly of the Grand Dérangement and Catholics there use it as an example of persecution. You see artwork about it in people's houses. Modern stuff.
