This is essential viewing. A remarkable interview with Dr Tanya Haj-Hassan, a paediatrician working in Gaza, following the killing of her colleague’s NINE children by Israeli forces. Going to post this video in two clips. Here she responds to ludicrous IDF denials & calls out the genocide. 1/2

GOOD NEWS: Ghost gun recoveries are down in major cities like Los Angeles. This is the result of lawsuits to hold the ghost gun industry accountable, state regulations on ghost guns, and ATF’s federal rule regulating ghost guns—which the Supreme Court just upheld.

The enemy at the gates

The driver turning right on red assured me as he very anxiously pulled my bike & me from under his bumper that the only reason he tried to kill me in the crosswalk was that he was looking at the traffic coming from the left. I'm also now ready now to just start smashing tinted windows on sight.

Managed to get only one copy off before the printer complained about a lack of toner so not off to a great start but it is on the light pole out on the street so a small start.

One of the big appeals of the Andor series is that the bad guys aren’t always one dimensional. Some are written as real people. That and the excellent dialogue generally make for real drama.

In the late 60s /early 70s I couldn't walk a block in a large city without encountering a variety of posters & flyers on light poles & walls protesting the war. I need some ideas for decorating my street scapes in the struggle against the current regime. My writing & graphics skills are lacking.

File under existential threats. 😬

This shouldn’t even be a controversial point. The rest of the world, minus the pariah states, are sprinting away from Trump. Meanwhile you’ve got Dem leaders cracking egg and tomato price jokes. Just an absolutely enormous misreading of the environment and temperature of voters.

Things aren't as bad as you thought, they're worse & it's not going to get better. Fox & the NYT are birds of a feather, just different sides of the bird. Dems & Repubs are selling the same timeshare on different channels. We need real change or we're screwed www.americasundoing.com/p/before-tru...

Baltimore is ready to dump Trump and all his minions

Get ready folks, we're at the top of a very steep slope. We have never wanted for bad people but now they feel unleashed & they have lots more lethal stuff than air soft grenades. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/cr...

How is this episode not above the fold on every news site? Instead it requires a search. The NRA has been warning us for decades that we all needed to stockpile AR15s & hundreds of rounds against just this sort of government over reach & yet crickets thus far. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

You *may* be living under an authoritarian regime when simply stating facts inconvenient to Dear Leader are viewed as "hostile" by Dear Leader's spokespeople.

Not eating meat is looking like it was a good choice. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

So when you read about the right wing starting to white wash history you’ll know it’s another entirely illegal power grab. Push back. We have nothing to lose but our country.
