a chart showing fossil revenues
Look at how Russia's bloody invasion of Ukraine increased Norway's fossil profits
Not only stemming from an actual violent conflict, but also off the back of European households who had to pay cripplingly high prices for our clean, democratic fossil fuels

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.
But behind the scenes, Israeli officials have conveyed a more targeted message. In private calls to local leaders across southern Lebanon, Israeli military officials have assured several Christian and Druse communities that they could remain in the evacuation zone. They have pressed them, however, to force out any Lebanese from neighboring Shiite Muslim communities who have sought refuge among them as Israeli bombardment flatten Shiite towns, according to local Christian, Druse and Shiite leaders who spoke to The New York Times. The Shiites make up the majority of southern Lebanon.
So what this describes is ethnic cleansing www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/w...
Article excerpt: The baby needed somewhere to go. So in the frantic hours before officers took her parents away to immigration detention, her mom turned to their pastor and his wife. As squad cars waited outside the family’s Lakeland, Florida, trailer home, she gave them a crash course in how to care for the 4-month-old. Briany, with her plump cheeks and full head of dark hair, wasn’t normally this fussy. But it was late that January night — around midnight — and she was still hungry. Her mom, Doris Flores, had tried nursing her to calm her down. It didn’t work. When she brought Briany to her breast, the milk wouldn’t come. Flores thought it had to do with the panic that set in after the officers arrested the baby’s father and told her she was next.
Continued article excerpt: The baby also drank formula. The pastor and his wife, who’d never had children of their own, should take her bottles and the yellow cans of formula, too, and follow the instructions on the label. They should use distilled water, never from the tap. Briany drank 5 ounces at each feeding. She needed to eat every two to two-and-a-half hours. She was almost due for her next round of vaccinations. She was getting big enough for Size 3 diapers. What made her happiest was to be held in someone’s arms. The Rev. Israel Vázquez, 58, soft-spoken with close-cropped hair, had held Briany before, when he formally presented the baby to God in a ceremony at his Pentecostal church in Lakeland. If he and his wife, a fellow pastor at the church, didn’t take the girls in, they would have to go into foster care. “What else could we do?” he said.
When Doris Flores was arrested, she begged officers not to separate her from her baby, Briany: “My girl needs me.”
Briany was one of thousands of U.S. citizen kids whose parents ICE detained in Trump’s immigration crackdown.

On this International Women's Day, please don't forget all the women in this detention facility. This is Leqaa Kordia, a NJ resident:
"An Immigration judge has now twice ordered my release on bond, but ICE used procedural loopholes each time to keep me confined."

Here’s what we know: this isn’t about Iran’s people—it’s about oil, wealth, and power.
@emanabdelhadi.bsky.social lays out why this war has no mandate (and why de-escalation is the only way forward).
Fifty people dead.
Israel again and agaon and again targets children, the US always at their side. They intend to kill the future, the most precious thing in the world.
As a parent I can’t stand to think about it.

“‘The persecution is the point,’ said Rep. Abi Boatman, a Wichita Democrat and the only transgender member of the Legislature, who received the [Kansas Dept of Revenue] notice on Wednesday.” To underscore that: a Kansas state legislator is among those whose driver’s license will be voided.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.
The recent, hard-hitting campaign to pressure Target into better behavior, has been exceptionally well-coordinated and inventive.
Medical deportation is the removal of an uninsured immigrant patient from the U.S. by a hospital without the consent of the patient or their family. If you or someone you know is at risk, call this hotline. Learn more about medical deportation here: buff.ly/7KoYvbz
Video shows ICE leaving behind an infant and broken glass after arresting a man with no criminal history.
“There was a car seat in the back... There were broken glass shards all over it... There was just this tiny peanut of a baby. He was crying.”

25 people holding "target is complicit" signs outside Target, with a very large Target dog logo visible in the background
A poster saying "target is complicit" with a picture of Bovino and other ICE goons marching through Target like the dipshits they are
Outside the first of two Targets we occupied today, because Target is complicit with ICE.

Last week ICE altered contracts with the leading private prison companies that run its detention centers, wiping away all transgender protections, including safety measures to prevent against rape. @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social has the story.

BREAKING: Nearly 15,000 New York City nurses are now on strike at Mount Sinai, Montefiore, and New York Presbyterian.
It's the largest nurses' strike in NYC history.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: “They are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense. Having seen the video myself, I wanna tell everybody directly, that is bullshit.”
For shame.
