@RealDianeYap @hknightsf Do I think she should be able to go on with her life with no apology to traumatized family, nothing on her record, and STILL DRIVE? She should not. Maybe news of real punishment would help other families decide hey, it's time to start driving nana around. I had to with my mom.

@hknightsf Your own article quotes a witness saying “She hit the gas when she thought she was hitting the brake.” You want an 80 year old woman with zero criminal record punished harder for a mistake that anyone could make?

Nobody disputes that Mary Lau was driving 75 miles per hour on San Francisco streets when she struck and killed an entire family. On Friday, a judge is expected to give her probation. After that, she could get her license back. The case raises the question, what is justice?

@hknightsf Great story. This family was a shining example of what we most need to make SF and our society work: talented young people raising their family here. What does it say about our system and our values that we can't get justice for them and that an old and wealthy person walks free?

@lrozen Nervous breakdown played out one post at a time.

Trump: “NO MORE ATTACKS WILL BE MADE BY ISRAEL” on Iran gas field if Iran does not attack Qatar LNG Gas facility

@JuliaDavisNews Is there an X feature to mute all replies containing the word window?

Update: Ilya Remeslo is now in a psychiatric ward.

@ReheAryan @Dominos_UK They don’t have it. Senegal won and everyone on the planet except a few corrupt CAF officials knows it. It’s payback for hosting the women’s tournament.

@Dominos_UK Morocco's out here hyping themselves up after basically being handed the AFCON title.

just had Morocco come in and collect Senegal’s order

@DNIGabbard Firing offense.

Donald Trump was overwhelmingly elected by the American people to be our President and Commander in Chief. As our Commander in Chief, he is responsible for determining what is and is not an imminent threat, and whether or not to take action he deems necessary to protect the safety and security of our troops, the American people and our country.  The Office of the Director of National Intelligence is responsible for helping coordinate and integrate all intelligence to provide the President and Commander in Chief with the best information available to inform his decisions.  After carefully reviewing all the information before him, President Trump concluded that the terrorist Islamist regime in Iran posed an imminent threat and he took action based on that conclusion.

@svdate In quotes because he looked at a map and it's not straight, it's crooked.

“So-called”? Is he disputing whether the geography at Hormuz constitutes a “strait?” Also, it’s strait, not straight.

@PjotrSauer To me the timing is not coincidental. Despite his denials Remeslo is being used to smoke out dissenters at an opportune moment for Putin-billions $ coming in from oil. He has to out the opposition on the Internet before he turns the Internet off on April 1!

The strange case of Ilya Remeslo, a staunch pro-Kremlin activist who abruptly turned on Putin overnight, now calling for his resignation and prosecution "This man has destroyed everything he could lay his hands on,”Remeslo told me this morning theguardian.com/world/2026/mar…

@Tor_Barstad @wartranslated You clearly know nothing about this tool. He gleefully helped execute the persecution of Navalny while slavishly repeating the dehumanization of Ukrainians that built support for Putin’s disastrous war.

@wartranslated I hope Ilya will be able to stay safe somehow. Either way he is a hero.

Russian propagandist Ilya Remeslo is calling for Putin to face trial as a war criminal, insisting it be done "within the law." He argued the war is fueled only by Putin’s personal complexes and blamed him for "devastating Russia's economy." Remeslo predicts a total system collapse and expects Putin to be ousted this year. We can only dream that these words come true. The sooner, the better.

@Timodc @TheRickWilson Hegseth should fry for this.

Did you know that 6 months ago, while presumably we were planning this stupid war, the Navy decommissioned its four Avenger-class minesweepers that had been stationed in Bahrain precisely to deal with Iranian mines in the Strait? More from JVL. thebulwark.com/p/our-low-iq-p…

@lrozen Only way to interpret this is that Netanyahu and his right wing allies will not stop until Iran is a failed state run by warlords. Destabilize the Middle East for decades.

Israel seems to be eliminating anyone that could be dealt with.

@JDVance Start by going after this ambulance chaser. itep.org/president-trum…

It is a disgrace that American children and families are being defrauded by people who hate this country. I'm proud to lead the Administration's task force on fraud and I'm thankful to President Trump for entrusting this task to me.

@PressSec He was hand picked for his MAGA credentials, and is simply pointing out facts that he knows from his work that you of course do not. There was no American interest served by this impulsive attack. It's easy to manipulate the narcissist, you incompetent grifters do it every day.

There are many false claims in this letter but let me address one specifically: that "Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation."   This is the same false claim that Democrats and some in the liberal media have been repeating over and over.   As President Trump has clearly and explicitly stated, he had strong and compelling evidence that Iran was going to attack the United States first.   This evidence was compiled from many sources and factors. President Trump would never make the decision to deploy military assets against a foreign adversary in a vacuum.   Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism. The Iranian regime is evil. It proudly killed Americans, waged war against our country, and openly threatened us all the way up to the launch of Operation Epic Fury.   Iran was aggressively expanding their short-range ballistic missiles to combine with their naval assets to give themselves immunity – meaning they would have a degree of a capabilities that would give them immunity to hold us and the rest of the world hostage.   The regime aimed to use those ballistic missiles as a shield to continue achieving their ultimate goal – nuclear weapons.   The President, through his top negotiators, gave the regime every single possible opportunity to abandon this unacceptable course by permanently giving up their nuclear ambitions in exchange for sanctions relief, free nuclear fuel, and potential economic partnerships with our country.   But they would not say yes to peace because obtaining nuclear weapons was their fundamental goal.   President Trump ultimately made the determination that a joint attack with Israel would greatly reduce the risk to American lives that would come from a first strike by the terrorist Iranian regime and address this imminent threat to America’s national security interests.   All of this led to President Trump arriving at the determination that this military operation was necessary for U.S. national security, which is why he launched the massively successful Operation Epic Fury. The Commander-in-Chief determines what does and does not constitute a threat, because he is the one constitutionally empowered to do so - and because the American people went to the ballot box and entrusted him and him alone to make such final judgments. And finally, the absurd allegation that President Trump made this decision based on the influence of others, even foreign countries, is both insulting and laughable. President Trump has been remarkably consistent and has said for DECADES that Iran can NEVER possess a nuclear weapon. As someone who actually witnesses President Trump’s decision-making process on a daily basis, I can attest to the fact that he is always looking to do what’s in the best interest of the United States of America — period. America First.

@juliaioffe You wrote this reply as I was typing the same.

Comrade Stalin, if only you knew of the evil plots to make you deviate from the true cause of the Revolution!

@Arcadiu15174978 @jurgen_nauditt These Vatnik sock puppets are completely transparent

You're totally wrong, spreading misinformation and German-Russia propaganda. Poland wish to leave cause people like you! Ultimately Poland wants what Norway, Iceland, Swiss and UK have- full control over their finances taxes and remove EU (mainly German and French) influence in the country. EU it's a German tool for robbing EU citizens.

Poland is on the verge of "Polexit"—leaving the European Union, according to Prime Minister Tusk. Years of disinformation and lies emanating from Russia, without resistance from the EU, are taking their toll. The Prime Minister declared that Poland's exit from the EU is no longer hypothetical. This is due to the actions of internal Eurosceptic forces, which he believes are working for external actors, including Russia, the American MAGA movement, and the European right wing led by Orbán. In particular, the Confederation factions and the majority of the Law and Justice (PiS) party are effectively pushing Poland toward a break with Brussels. The situation worsened after President Karol Nawrocki blocked a law on obtaining €43.7 billion in defense loans from the EU, jeopardizing the financing of the army, whose expenditures are supposed to reach 5% of GDP. Experts note that despite widespread support for the EU, one in four Poles is already prepared to vote to leave, reminiscent of the dynamics in the UK before Brexit.

@NiallStanage @SmithInAmerica What an utter garbage human.

Startling moment even by Trump’s standards, egging Speaker Mike Johnson on to talk about GOP Rep. Neal Dunn’s health diagnosis. Johnson hedges a bit and Trump interjects that Dunn was told he’d be dead by June. Johnson: Ok, that wasn’t public.

@mrmedina Bad umpiring for sure but still not an excuse for some really poor at bats. Friends don’t let friends make Bednar look like Mariano Rivera.

we had so many chances to put some runs on the board. terrible base running decisions cooked up. needed something from soto. this one hurts man.

@WhiteHouse @BrendanCarrFCC You’re an un American criminal and your Goebbels act will in time be punished with jail time.

NO PANICANS!

@csuwildcat @robustus There’s little prospect of that. The regime (not “the mullahs”) have been preparing for this with many layers for 20 years minimum. The IGRC controls perhaps half the economy now, and there are a lot of people (still a minority) dependent in one way or another on it.

@robustus If they do that, I hope they at least eliminate all the remnants of the mullah leadership too, and truly give the Iranians a chance, or it was all empty words for people who will just be thrown under the yoke of some new tyrant. People shouldn't have to live under such bondage 😞

Seems like the admin's "plan" is to bomb everything, then leave, and let it be someone else's problem cuz the US in particular isn't as dependent on mideast oil as other big countries.

@Logically_JC @gargouille He always speaks the truth in between the lies. He is saying the Trump war is a failure.

He fucked up, and he knows it.
