Younger people will be shocked to hear this, but way back when I grew up, anytime you saw a movie where some government official stopped someone on the street and demanded to see their identification papers, that was supposed to let you know they were the bad guys.

I wonder how the people being rather gung-ho about bombing Iran are going to feel when petrol prices go through the roof?

Another story about UK record temperatures illustrated with an image of people sunbathing on a beach … Perhaps the @nujofficial.bsky.social should consider some basic climate awareness training for its members www.thetimes.com/comment/regi...

I hate painting woodwork. But after a year of renovating a house from 4 walls and no roof - I can at least appreciate we are at this point!

So… People seem to think that we’re just done now? We bombed the shit out of three nuclear sites in a country we weren’t at war with, and that’s just… it? Oh, my sweet summer children.

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

So, it turns out we're treating fascism just like we've been treating climate change: – ignore warnings of experts – buy into bullshit "alternative explanations" - read "don't worry" media op-eds – deny it will really be that bad – start seeing major evidence – hope somebody does something

I’ll say it again: It was a huge mistake for Congress to abolish itself.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

Following the President’s decision to bomb nuclear facilities in Iran, I’ve directed our public safety teams to be on heightened alert for potential threats to Minnesota. While there’s no known threats at this time, we’ll continue to monitor the situation and respond accordingly.

Meant to mention this last week, but if you have a young person in your life who’s into history or graphic novels or just good books, buy them George Takei’s “They Called Us Enemy.” My oldest couldn’t put it down.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

If only major media had accurately described RFK Jr. in these terms during his nomination instead of using the inaccurate and softened “vaccine skeptic.” The media wrongly think that using “vaccine skeptic” is a way to avoid bias, but all it did was bias us in favor of RFK Jr, death, & disability.

In Bell, CA an entire community stood up against ICE, including the local police and the fire dept. The fire truck appears to not allow ICE vehicles to move forward nor remain and pushes forward to escort them out. A police car also helped with escorting. /

If you read down this Mail article long enough, you get to this grudging admission: "76% of pupils at Kobi Nazrul are meeting 'expected standards' in reading, writing and maths. That compares with a local average of 71 per cent and an average of 61 per cent in England." . archive.ph/wip/lmv8G
