I grew up steeped in stories of the Holocaust. And I experienced really straightforward antisemitism as a kid—one year my dad suggested I invite a classmate to Seder to prove to her family that we weren’t eating babies. And still I never thought I’d live in a “list of Jews” moment.

Two months ago, before the US attacked, you could have debated how much control Iran would be able to exercise over the Strait of Hormuz. Now Iran controls it. What military action in recent history can we compare this to, in which an aggressor has left a foe with greater territorial power?

Huge news.
The good people @deportationdata.org obtained updated ICE case records through a FOIA lawsuit.
The dataset goes from October 2022 through *early March 2026.* deportationdata.org/data/ice.html
Important context here: This answer was in response to a question about Pope Leo, in which a reporter asked if the White House has any response to pontiff’s comments over the weekend that “God does not listen to the prayer of those who wage war.”

Trump unilaterally conceding Iran's control over the straight would be a basically unparalleled American strategic disaster and it is also pretty much the only path forward. It was also the only path forward as soon as he gave the go-ahead to start bombing. It will be the only path if he invades.
