A new survey has found that a record number of registered voters in the United States oppose the war on Iran and believe there is no strategy to end it.

A survey published on Thursday by Fox News found that 71 percent of voters believe the Trump administration “lacks a clear strategy” for ending the hostilities, which have helped to raise inflation and send fuel prices soaring.

A United Nations fact-finding mission has concluded that the U.S. committed war crimes in two attacks on Iran that killed scores of civilians, including over 120 children, on the first day of the war.

In a report released Thursday, the UN’s Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Iran said that the U.S. violated international human rights laws regarding civilian harm in its attacks in Minab and Lamerd.

As parts of the Southern California coastline crumbled into the sea, slammed by intense waves and flooding in recent days, oceanographer Kim McCoy had one thing on his mind: the nuclear waste set in concrete on the beach near San Clemente at the shuttered San Onofre nuclear power plant.

On Tuesday, two survivors of child sex abuse accused the Justice Department of failing to notify dozens of victims found in Jeffrey Epstein’s massive collection of child sex images.

In a proposed class action, survivors explained that Epstein apparently started collecting child sex images in the 1990s, many of which the DOJ recovered after his arrest. In 2025, the FBI started reviewing “tens of thousands of videos” containing illegal child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and issued a memo confirming that “a large volume of images” seized depicted likely minors.

Some of these victims may have had contact with Epstein, as the disgraced financier kept a “modelbook” of nude photos of young girls roped into his ring. However, the FBI also identified hundreds of CSAM images in cache, which include approximately 15–20 images of known CSAM dating back to the 1990s. And so far, the DOJ has largely ignored those victims, who likely never met Epstein and have no way of knowing if he possessed, transported, or traded their images, survivors alleged.

“Few if any CSAM survivors have been notified that Epstein had their unlawful sexualized images,” survivors alleged.

To correct that, survivors are suing the Epstein estate, as well as Darren K. Indyke and Richard D. Kahn, who are named solely in their roles as co-executors of the estate. Survivors are hoping that a US district court in New York will agree that the estate must “provide needed notice to Epstein’s CSAM survivors and to afford them with a long-overdue and overlooked remedy for his pernicious CSAM crimes.”

Robert Kraft has also faced several criminal charges. In 2019, he was charged in Florida with soliciting prostitution after he was captured on video engaging in sex acts with a worker at a massage parlour.

Kraft’s actions were captured on video as part of a larger investigation into human trafficking and prostitution at several massage parlours in the area. Despite denying the allegations, Kraft was among those charged in connection with the investigation.

However, beyond the surface of a mere prostitution case, some voices in the public sphere raised concerns that the incident may be linked to sex slavery.

The gravity of the situation surrounding the human trafficking ring in Florida became increasingly apparent as Martin County Sheriff revealed distressing details.

The women involved were subjected to harrowing conditions, with no respite, as they were given no days off. Their lives were marked by a staggering cycle of exploitation, with each woman forced to service an average of about 1,500 men a year.

Questions arose regarding why a billionaire like Kraft would seek services from a regular masseuse in town, prompting deeper scrutiny into the circumstances surrounding the case.

In September 2020, Florida prosecutors dropped the prostitution charges against Kraft.

“The only control or ‘guardrails’ that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!” Trump wrote.

Trump claimed those who are pleading for a slowdown of AI advancement are part of “a SICK conspiracy” against U.S. interests, benefiting China. He then issued a warning to anyone who backed regulation of the technology.

“Conspiracy Theorists, Treasonists, Traitors, and Leakers, BEWARE!” Trump said.

The EFF found cops writing “idiot,” “WEIRD KID,” “blah,” “leave me alone,” and button mashing in Flock’s ‘reason’ box.

Rapper Macklemore is a vocal supporter of Palestine and Gaza residents. During a recent concert at MetLife Stadium, he yelled “Free Palestine!” onstage, projected images of devastation in the area, and performed protest song “Hind’s Hall.”

Now, it seems that American venues are not willing to play ball with the Seattle artist, and he has been dropped from Ed Sheeran’s Loop Tour.

“After discussions with stakeholders, Macklemore will not be performing on the remaining support dates,” according to Messina Touring Group, the promoter of Loop Tour. This news follows backlash from organizations like StopAntisemitism and others, such as pop star Pink.

Police scanned Flock cameras in a single town in Illinois more than 1,200 times to investigate cases of loitering.

I’m guessing that I was banned for recent, scientifically accurate statements about “AI” despite a long history of posting in the comm. As someone who doesn’t believe in “AI”, I think that a great portion of “anti-AI” sentiment is misguided at best and most often feeding the grift. I think it’s really sad how people who supposed oppose “AI” constantly feed the hype through anthropomorphism, absurd claims/beliefs, etc. Perhaps more importantly, if you’re more upset by people generated images of witches than by genocide, surveillance, etc., then you’re part of the problem. TBH technology is always corrupted by capitalism and nothing special is really happening with “AI” apart from the massive grift. The comm seems like a lib space mostly for promoting phony “AI” press releases. I’m not surprised that I was banned for my thought crimes. “AI” doesn’t exist and I’m not sorry about it. But that comm is the real booster. Rife with pseudo-science and anthropomorphism. That’s why liberal resistance is not actually resistance. These people are going to be crying about witch pictures while being dragged off to prison during an “AI” raid…
