Journalist @jeremyscahill.com from @dropsitenews.com says the Trump administration is in "a state of total chaos" as it tries to end the Middle East war it launched. Iran, meanwhile, is confident in its position because of "the three M's on their side: munitions, markets and the midterms."
Israel continues to attack Lebanon despite Trump claiming Monday that Israel and Hezbollah had agreed to stop fighting. “What happened yesterday was in no means a ceasefire,” says Beirut-based journalist @chehayebk.bsky.social.
Recent state-level elections in India have further consolidated the power of the ruling Hindu nationalist BJP led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “The general public does not think the elections are free and fair in India,” says Arfa Arfa Khanum Sherwani, an Indian journalist.
Middle East scholar @eskandarsadeghi.bsky.social says the "extremely precarious" ceasefire between the United States and Iran effectively leaves the Strait of Hormuz under ongoing Iranian control, part of "a fundamental change in the region."
“We are speaking about systematic transformation of life into something unlivable,” says Eyad Amawi, a representative of the Gaza Relief Committee. According to Amawi, there are widespread rodent infestations in tent encampments, water is scarce, and food is often spoiled.

“In 2025, these data center protests successfully stalled over $100 billion worth of these facilities,” says journalist @karenhao.bsky.social. Hao adds that so many communities are able to mobilize because the issue “really does cut across political lines.”
Organizers in Memphis are fighting Elon Musk's AI data centers in the city that rely on polluting methane gas turbines. "We are unfortunately a cautionary tale about what will and possibly can happen if you don't have the right rules and guardrails in place," says @keshaunpearson.bsky.social.
The antiwar movement in Israel is growing, says Israeli peace activist @alonlee.bsky.social, who was arrested in Tel Aviv on Saturday as Israeli police cracked down on a protest against the wars in Iran and Lebanon. Demonstrations also took place in Haifa and Jerusalem.
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.

Reform of the Defence Estate is warranted but will be confronting for some in the community. So the Gov must continue to push information out & be open-minded to feedback. After all, flexibility in war is much better than reinforcing defeat. #auspol #politas

Not since Reconstruction’s demise have reactionaries so brazenly tried to erase African-American representation from Congress. We must elect a majority with the courage to stand against this tide and will us back towards a more perfect union.
Poor Joe. He’s trying. He’s REALLY trying. But that mean needs to take at least one full business course before going back to Leva to pitch an idea for a business venture. That was a difficult watch 😬🫣 #SouthernHospitality

Regarding the Epstein files: the recklessness (or sinister calculation) of Trump's dirty DOJ leadership in redacting the names of the perpetrators while disclosing the names of the victims will backfire spectacularly:
