The Supreme Court blacklisted experts, gagged #NCERT, ordered social media surveillance & made itself guardian of how children learn about courts.

All in one hearing. This is not judicial dignity. It is constitutional overreach. 1/8

Audi alteram partem. Hear the other side. Danino, Diwakar & Kumar were not heard once. Yet barred from all public-funded work nationwide. The Court that enforces due process for others denied it entirely to three scholars. 2/8
The Court's own order says it has "no reason to doubt" the experts' knowledge or malicious intent. No proven fault found. Then destroyed their social standing anyway.

That is not a judicial order. That is a punishment in search of a crime. 3/8

Today the Fla Senate is expected to revamp & pass the elections bill that GOP lawmakers consider a mini-version of the SAVE America Act ... But ... subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2026/0…
Some main portions of the bill would not kick in until 2027 ... One portion of the elections bill revamp, however, that would take effect this year ... is the provision pushed by Sen. Jason Pizzo that would let candidates & parties legally challenge qualifications of rivals ...
The Pizzo provision - inspired in part by qualification questions surrounding GOP candidate James Fishback - is embedded in the elections bill revamp coming from Sen. Grall & appears likely to make it to the desk of @GovRonDeSantis

On 3/10, California State University Chancellor Garcia explained to the Board why she is refusing to admit wrongdoing after allowing a man to take a women’s scholarship, a roster spot, and be housed with female athletes without their knowledge. (Garcia is paid nearly $1 million/year by California taxpayers.)

Her legal team is going with the lie that Title IX did not ensure female-only sport before Trump’s EO, so they did nothing wrong by allowing the man on the team. Unfortunately for her, Title IX clearly states protections apply “on the basis of sex.”(It’s only 37 words, so the Chancellor could take a minute to read it.)

She also claims that the OCR resolution agreement would require CSU to take “unacceptable and unnecessary corrective actions.” Those actions? Remove men from women’s sports & spaces, say there are 2 sexes, and apologize to female athletes. So here she’s basically admitting that CSU will continue to allow men into women’s spaces.

She then says that the issue of men into women’s sports is “complex” (no it isn’t) and so she needs to reiterate that CSU doesn’t discriminate and goes on to a laundry list of things CSU doesn’t discriminate on (hilariously leaves out “sex”).

My favorite part though is when she says “inclusive excellence” is in their “DNA.”

DNA, Chancellor Garcia?

Careful. That’s biology.
Fortunately we had women there to speak common sense to the Board & Chancellor.

Here is Alison Foote of @icons_women dressed in @xx_xyathletics gear speaking truth to power 🔥
@BarbraLou speaking as a former San Jose State student presents a clear case.

(Most of us could not attend the meeting in person down in Long Beach and spoke over Zoom. Unfortunately you cannot see our faces on the livestream.)

While the world watches missiles fly over Iran, Putin is quietly making a fortune. 💰

The US-Israel strikes on Iranian nuclear sites aren’t just escalating war in the Middle East, they are handing Russia three massive wins while the Ukraine war grinds on.

Here’s what you need to know: 🧵Image

1. Russia gets a Massive Economic Boost from Skyrocketing Oil Prices

Higher energy, tighter flow: Iran threatens the Strait of Hormuz, missiles fly, and the price of oil goes haywire. Brent crude jumped from $73 to over $90 per barrel with analysts saying it could hit $110+. Putin? He's banking the difference. Russia's Urals crude is suddenly worth way more than Moscow budgeted for 2026. Oil and gas account for ~30% of Kremlin revenue. Do the math. 💸Image
3/8
Every barrel Iran can't sell, Russia does. 🛢️

Iranian exports collapse under strikes and sanctions. Moscow steps in and sells MORE to China, India, Turkey. Extra billions flowing straight into the Ukraine war machine. 💸

The kicker? Russia WANTS Iran sanctioned longer. Cheaper Iranian oil back on the market would crush Russian fields.

Pure win for the Kremlin. 🏆Image

Donald Trump saying contradictory things about the Clintons:

about Hilary Clinton:"You'd be in jail" vs. "They are good people".

Give more examples.
x.com/i/grok/share/a…
If politics is mostly [..] theater, and there is a tacit understanding that rivals don't go to jail, but you can do theater infighting (because the survival of the deep state behind the parliaentarian banter means more, then the above makes perfect sense

Illegalities alleging of corruption pointed out by Trump (and his wing men) regarding the Biden family

vs. the lack of action against the Bidens once Trump was in office.

Urgent memo to foreign news desks.

To prevent getting too far out on a limb, correspondents should please note:

1) Even when carried out by a western power an unprovoked attack on another country is illegal and can be met with at least a tone of disapproval.

👇
2) Just because Donald Trump dislikes something (eg international law, history, democracy, basic human decency) it doesn’t mean you have to completely forget about it.
3) It’s ok to have the attitude that killing people is in general a bad thing (even if it’s being done by the US, Israel, or, god forbid, Britain).

4) Iranians are people.

5) ‘Might is right’ is normally used in a critical sense, not as moral/political/editorial guidance.

¹ A couple of days ago, Tehran Times published a list of 100 children supposedly killed in the Minab school strike.

But a closer examination of the names raises serious questions about the list’s authenticity. 🧵 Image
² First, while "Shajareh Tayyebeh" was a predominantly girls’ school - as confirmed not only by how it was described in the initial reports, but also by the composition of the archived school birthday directory - two thirds of the names on the list are boys. ⏬
³ Next, the list contains two duplicates - Amir Mohammadi and Setayesh Alihosseini both appear twice, with slightly modified photos.

More importantly, 12 names - 9 girls and 3 boys - that appeared in earlier victim lists are missing from the Tehran Times list.⏬

A violent family living in an illegal outpost drives its cattle into Palestinian farmland. Oh—and the father also received money from the state to be there. The story of the killing of Amir Muhammad Shanran last Saturday in Susya actually began some 30 years ago. Thread. Image
1/ An Israeli man in uniform stands holding a weapon with its barrel pointed upward. Behind him stands another man—perhaps his younger brother—wearing civilian clothes and filming the event on his phone. >>
2/ Around them, the cries and wails of Palestinian women can be heard. A Palestinian man films the settler with his own phone. At one point, the camera captures a Palestinian man lying motionless on the ground. Perhaps dead. >>

If this were a healthy brain would light up evenly.

But the brains of Long COVID patients light up in patches...🧵 Image
\ The Discovery:
Researchers from the Department of Nuclear Medicine at Université de Lorraine in Nancy, France, intravenously injected a radioactive tracer into participants with Long COVID and healthy controls.

Here is what they found.

Study: link.springer.com/article/10.100…
\ How 18F-FDG Works:
The tracer, 18F fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG), is structurally similar to glucose, a sugar molecule transported into neurons from the bloodstream.

Once 18F-FDG is transported into neurons, it becomes trapped.

Here, the fluorine-18 isotopes decay, emitting light detected by the PET (positron emission tomography) scanner.
