So far Israel and the USA have completely destroyed over 600 schools in Iran.
Which puts the "targeting mistake" of killing the 170 schoolgirls in perspective.

Economics can either enable the slide toward fascism, or defend affordability, dignity, and democracy.
I wrote ANTI-FASCIST ECONOMICS with my baby by my side—a constant reminder that the future should be livable for all.

The lack of news on Gaza isn’t because the genocide is over.
It’s because Israel slaughtered the journalists and Western media pretends there’s a ceasefire.

According to a press release by the Global Sumud Flotilla, at least four participants reported sexual violence at the hands of Israeli soldiers, including anal penetration with a finger, forceful strikes to the genitals, and verbal sexual abuse.

🚨 Flotilla Detainees Report Sexual Violence, Physical Abuse at Hands of Israeli Forces
The Global Sumud Flotilla released preliminary first-hand testimonies Thursday alleging a pattern of severe physical and sexual abuse against civilian participants following the Israeli military’s interception of the flotilla in international waters last week.
According to the press release, at least four participants reported sexual violence at the hands of Israeli soldiers, including anal penetration with a finger, forceful strikes to the genitals, and verbal sexual abuse.
Testimonies also describe deliberate deprivation of clothing, food, water, and bedding, as well as areas being flooded with water at night — leaving detainees in extreme physical distress.
Multiple participants suffered hypothermia and hyperthermia, the flotilla said.
179 participants were released to Greek authorities. Two — Saif Abukeshek and Thiago Ávila — remain detained at Israel’s Shikma prison and are reportedly on hunger strike. Israel has not responded to the allegations.

Horrific: Video shows an Israeli settler deliberately blocking the path of a Palestinian ambulance on a road in southern Nablus in the West Bank while it was transporting a critically ill person.

🦔Residents living near AI data centers are reporting constant low-frequency hum measured as infrasound, sound below the human hearing threshold that causes dizziness, nausea, vertigo, and sleep disruption. The noise comes from cooling systems and onsite gas turbines hyperscalers are building behind-the-meter to bypass slow grid interconnects.
Local zoning rules do not regulate infrasound because traditional noise ordinances only measure decibels in the audible range, leaving residents with no legal recourse. The video below captures what households near these facilities are living with around the clock.
My Take
The infrasound problem does not exist in the regulations because the technology producing it at scale did not exist when the rules were written, and developers know exactly which rural jurisdictions lack the framework to push back.
Households who bought before the data center was announced get to choose between selling at a loss or living with symptoms that did not exist a year ago, and that cost is being externalized onto people who never agreed to host critical infrastructure for the AI buildout.

A Democratic Socialist is leading the Democratic primary in Wisconsin, not a costal state.
This shouldn’t come as a surprise, though.
@FrancescaHongWI is simply continuing the “sewer socialist” movement that began in Wisconsin over 100 years ago.

BBC News reports that at least 20 hospitals and medical centres in Iran have been targeted in air strikes – each a grave war crime – but forgets to mention in the entire segment who is actually targeting them.

This is called the "one bad man theory". It's just factually wrong. 82% - 95% of Israelis support the illegal war of aggression on Iran. It's a country of genocidal psychopaths. Netanyahu's main opponent Yair Lapid is also in favor of the 'Greater Israel' 4th Reich.
Newsom: "I revere Israel. Proud to support Israel. Deeply oppose Netanyahu. Deeply oppose the far right in the West Bank."
He is trying to pretend only Netenyhu is the problem. The settlers, the occupation, the genocide-that's Israeli policy, not a personality. You can't revere the state and pretend its ideology belongs to one man

NEW: Former Trump official Steve Bannon suggested the president deployed ICE officers to major U.S. airports as a “test run” for using them in upcoming elections.
According to the administration, they will not assist TSA with passenger screenings but instead guard exit lanes or check IDs. democracydocket.com/news-ale…

Is this the best timed trade of 2026?
At 6:50 AM ET today, $1.5 BILLION in notional value worth of S&P 500 futures contracts were bought.
This trade was so large it sent the entire index +0.3% higher that minute.
Then, 14 minutes later at 7:04 AM ET, President Trump announced "productive discussions" with Iran were underway.
By 7:10 AM ET, the S&P 500 had added +$2 TRILLION in market cap.
That $1.5 billion position gained +$60 million in minutes.
Absolutely incredible.

Genuinely seems Trumps presidency is completely falling apart. Basic government services aren’t getting executed. He’s stuck in a quagmire in the Middle East. Job growth is negative and inflation is accelerating. Gas is 4-5 dollars a gallon. What a mess

A reminder to the pro Israel whataboutist crowd: no point saying ‘what about X or Y’ when Israel on most issues is worse than X or Y.

Let me explain what just happened 👇
5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil.
5 minutes…
These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch.
There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made.
Someone in that room picked up a phone.
And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars.
American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it.
This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions.
This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight.
You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question.
Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that.
The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…
BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market.
In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold.
These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else at the time.
The trader seemingly made huge gains.
Unusual.
