Not family law but ONCA confirms that litigants who rely on their understanding, or misunderstanding, of their legal rights effectively waive solicitor‑client privilege. Courts must be able to test those claims. lawtimesnews.com/news/general/l…

This is a heartbreaking attack. And it does make me fear for the world my Jewish sons will grow up in. If a significant portion of Americans metabolize their legitimate anger towards the government of Israel into resentment against Jews as a whole, that is genuinely a more perilous set of affairs than Jews in this country have faced in generations. Which is why it’s so dangerous that mainline Jewish organizations have spent years insisting unequivocally that “Israel” and “Jews” should, in fact, be conflated. It’s the same rhetoric Nick Fuentes uses—but it’s arguably even more dangerous when it comes from the ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt. The logic of Zionism rests heavily on the claim that Jewish safety necessitates a Jewish state. It is largely this desire—to protect our people, whom history has proven need protection—that has led so many national and local Jewish institutions to continue backing the Israeli regime, through apartheid and genocide and more. But this approach is self-defeating. Tying the honor and reputation of our people to the rogue government of an ethnostate is not making us safer. On the contrary, it’s making American Jews more vulnerable to the kind of antisemitic mass politics that we haven’t had to worry about in this country for a long time. That's what my Jewish sons have to look forward to. And it’s not going to change until our mainline Jewish institutions start owning up to the danger they’ve created for all of us and start demonstrating, through their words and deeds, that “Israel” does not, in fact, equal “the Jews.”

BREAKING: Iran’s Parliament Speaker just killed the ceasefire. Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, March 10: “We are certainly not seeking a ceasefire. We believe the aggressor must be struck in the mouth. We will break this cycle of war, negotiation, ceasefire, war.” This arrives the same day the Wall Street Journal reports Trump’s advisers privately urging an exit. Oil crashed from $119.50 to below $91. The market exhaled. Iran’s second most powerful elected official just told the world the exhale was premature. Here is what every actor is actually doing while the ceasefire dies. The IRGC launched Wave 33 this morning. One-ton warheads on Kheibar Shekan missiles targeting Tel Aviv and the Fifth Fleet. Codenamed “Labbayk ya Khamenei” for a Supreme Leader who has not spoken and may not be conscious. General Mousavi announced no warhead below one ton from this point forward. Thirty-one autonomous provincial commands continue firing without central orders. The doctrine does not need a ceasefire because it was built to function without one. Seven P&I clubs, Gard, Skuld, NorthStandard, Steamship Mutual, American Club, Swedish Club, London P&I, covering 90% of global tonnage, cancelled war-risk cover on 5 March under Solvency II. Zero have reinstated. Hormuz crossings collapsed from 138 daily vessels to approximately 2. Premiums surged from 0.05% to 1-3% of hull value. The DFC’s $20 billion backstop has produced zero confirmed large-scale VLCC transits. Force majeures have cascaded from QatarEnergy to Saudi Aramco to Kuwait Petroleum to Bapco to Aluminium Bahrain to Yeochun NCC Korea to Formosa Taiwan to PCS Singapore to SCC Rayong Thailand. The naphtha-to-polyethylene chain feeding Asian manufacturing is broken. Ghalibaf’s rejection ensures it stays broken. China is not intervening. It is collecting. MizarVision publishes AI-labelled satellite imagery of every US asset in theatre. Shadow fleet vessels deliver drone components at night. The PLA is learning American reaction times, electronic warfare effectiveness, and interceptor depletion economics in the most comprehensive live-fire intelligence collection it has ever observed. Beijing does not need the war to end. It needs the war to teach. Russia is harvesting. Urals at yearly highs. Power of Siberia delivering 38.8 billion cubic metres to China. Putin evaluating a preemptive halt of European energy to redirect at Hormuz-inflated prices. The war finances Ukraine without Moscow firing a shot. The Houthis have resumed selective Red Sea strikes. If Bab al-Mandab activates alongside Hormuz, both chokepoints bracketing the Arabian Peninsula close simultaneously. Ghalibaf’s rejection extends the timeline in which that can happen. Twelve days. One Supreme Leader dead. One invisible. Thirty-three waves. Seven clubs withdrawn. 138 daily transits reduced to 2. Five navies deployed. Zero commercial transits restored. Zero insurance reinstated. Zero ceasefires. Zero negotiations. The war has no political exit because Ghalibaf closed it. No commercial exit because the actuaries closed it five days earlier. No military exit because the doctrine was designed to outlast every strategy conceived by the adversaries it was built to fight. The market priced a quick war. The doctrine priced a long one. Ghalibaf just told you which. Full analysis in the link. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

If someone with a medical complication is not starving and you cut off all food for several months so then they're starving the medical complication is not the relevant variable. This is not complex to grasp intellectually or morally.
