Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."
Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.

Nations are strongest when they build together. At the 81st Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, Canada is choosing to step forward. To lead. To shape what comes next.

The Heritage Foundation is infamous for organizing Project 2025. As I was investigating Heritage, I found that it promotes a network of Christian nationalist schools to parents. That network was founded by Doug Wilson, who is well-known for his extreme views. Read my investigative report here:

How the Heritage Foundation Promotes Christian Nationalist Schooling — Civil Defense
Tracing Heritage and Kevin Roberts’s ties to a growing network of classical Christian schools—and the policies steering public money their way.

Ships traveling between the upper Great Lakes and the Atlantic must pass through Canada’s Welland Canal. The 27-mile canal and all eight of its locks are entirely in Ontario, meaning a strategically important portion of U.S. Great Lakes maritime trade depends on Canadian-controlled infrastructure.

I've worked in Democratic digital comms for a long time and pay attention to campaign metrics across platforms. Increasingly I'm seeing Dems who crosspost on X, Bluesky, and Threads get better engagement on Bluesky even with far fewer followers. Here's @jamestalarico.bsky.social's clip last night:
Social media analytics for different platforms and screenshots of James Talarico speaking on stage in his clip across platforms.

There's a lot of data in the analytics and it shows that Bluesky has the highest engagement rate with the least amount of followers at 19.62%

The issue isn't "you should be nice to him," the man is evil incarnate and fascists do not deserve civility. The issue is that talking about his physical decline as an outward expression of his moral decline reinforces eugenic narratives equating bodily health with character.

I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children. This is learned today: Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%. www.npr.org/2026/03/11/n...
After a series of fatal strikes involving civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress directed the Pentagon to reduce civilian casualties as part of a 2019 law. During the Biden administration, the Defense Department created the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response initiative.

The civilian mitigation teams – cut by 90% by Hegseth – work with military commanders on target planning, and making sure that targets are actually military sites. The teams help come up with "no strike" lists, including religious and cultural sites and schools
