Iranian American historian Ervand Abrahamian says Trump's repudiation of the Iran nuclear deal irrevocably damaged Iran-U.S. relations. "The best [Trump] can get is going back to that. Demands that Iran should have no nuclear enrichment are a non-starter."
The U.S.-Iran ceasefire reportedly included Lebanon, but Israel has continued its attacks there. Wednesday was the deadliest day since the attacks began March 2. “Strikes brought down entire buildings that were packed with people,” says @ramzikaiss.bsky.social of @hrw.org in Beirut.
Artificial intelligence is "incredibly unpopular technology" that is essentially being forced on people, says writer @astra.bsky.social. New data centers are now facing stiff resistance, providing "local chokepoints where people can come together and push back on the billionaire Big Tech agenda."
Reporters Without Borders (@rsf.org) says global press freedom has fallen to its lowest level in 25 years. "We're seeing deterioration pretty much across the board, both in authoritarian countries and in democracies," says Clayton Weimers.
At least 17 people have died in ICE custody so far this year, part of President Trump's dramatic increase of immigration detention. "I have never seen anything like this, where I'm seeing ICE reporting out at least one death per week," says Setareh Ghandehari with @detentionwatchnetwork.org.

More than 20,000 seafarers are stranded on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz. "The seafarers, men and women, have not provoked this war, are not a part of it, and cannot stop it," says Mohamed Arrachedi of the International Transport Workers' Federation.
Outrage is growing over Israel's killing of Al-Akhbar correspondent Amal Khalil on Wednesday. Sara Qudah with @pressfreedom.bsky.social says Israel's attack and subsequent blocking of rescue teams is a clear war crime requiring an independent investigation.
This from @sineadbovell is worth paying attention to. As AI gets pulled closer to state power, surveillance, and national security, the real question is not just what the tech can do. It is who it serves, who it protects, and who it puts at risk. #AI

We know budget repair is needed to reduce the high interest costs Australia is paying on national debt, but Australians are already doing it tough & cutting income support would only hurt those most vulnerable. A 25% gas export tax is a modest proposal for the use of our national resources.

Former federal judge John Jones on Slush fund: This lawsuit essentially—there was no report of a settlement. It was just a discontinuance of the suit, and then comes the settlement thereafter. In my experience—you don’t do that unless you’re trying to keep something from the presiding judge.
