AFP: UN special rapporteur says the world has entered a "new dark age of abuses in the name of countering terrorism", with the United States "raining death" on Iran and Venezuela.
“Reuters investigation found the cluster of buildings including a long-established girls school in Iran was hit by at least seven munitions, including what experts identified as a US Tomahawk cruise missile.”
Nopeee
This is a thing that is within their control and they absolutely should make their negotiating position

How Congress can restore the independence of US science
Members must go beyond reinstating US government research spending and re-establish decentralized governance at the National Institutes of Health and other agencies. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
I've submitted multiple. Never once been published. They often don't even publish my comments on anti trans nyt articles. It's that repressive.
Despots do despotic things, typically because they are fearful of losing power. Don the Con and his henchmen are corrupt despots, pure and simple. They will violate American’s most basic rights, unless the courts stop them. Ultimately, however, we need to vote them out, ASAP.
Footage reviewed and geolocated by Bellingcat confirms US tomahawk missiles hit the girls’ primary school in southern Iran that killed 175 people, most of them children.
Researcher Trevor Ball notes Israel does not possess Tomahawk missiles. United States does.
I think this comment is very good.

It is absolutely insane that the US appears to have targeted desalination plants first – putting them onto the board. Iran seems to have already retaliated against one in Bahrain. This is one of the most obvious ways this could spiral.
I mean beyond all of the loathsome obvious shit about allllll of this, the director of the fucking INSIDE fucking OUT movies saying “We’re making a movie, not hundreds of millions of dollars of therapy" is a level of self-unawareness I can only marvel at
Reuters confirmed that the elementary school in the Iranian city of Minab was bombed TWICE by the US military, 40 minutes apart.
This was intentional.
They did not "accidentally" drop two bombs 40 mins apart,
Killing 168 children and 14 teachers.
Actually looking at my last ~ 3 years of reading, I've read around 80% nonfiction (! what !) and 20% fiction, so actually now that I see the premise of this book I am preordering it SIGHT UNSEEN I must have it
President Trump remarks on plans for Cuba at "Shield of the Americas" summit in Florida: "Cuba's in its last moments of life as it was. It'll have a great new life…That'll be an easy one."
He added: "I'm not learning your damn language. I don't have time."
Don't shun people just because they have different beliefs about blotting out the sun to usher in a new age of eternal darkness. We have to find an answer in the middle.
Fuck this.
Those school girls and musicians from the Iranian navy were people who thought they’d be able to live.
Scream this from the rooftops.
Trump and bros are turning violence and even death into entertainment. Sometimes it’s masked ICE. Sometimes it’s a mashup of clips from Top Gun with real “kill” footage.
They’re in the business of selling violence. They vilify care about civilian casualties as “woke”
The purpose of the public land grant university is not, in this vision, about educating citizens for democracy and the practice of freedom, but training workers for the economy. If you want to study history or literature and you can't get into Brown, tough luck.
The report highlights the grim state of freshwater ecosystems, degraded marine and terrestrial ecosystems, and the risk of extinction for many species. But it also emphasizes the potential for improvement through conservation, restoration, and renewed connections between people and nature.

Congress has to stop attacking our #PublicLands.
The latest: Senator Mike Lee is weaponizing the Congressional Review Act resolution in an attempt to wipe out protections for Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.
We have to stop this plan! Please submit a public comment ➡️ bit.ly/3N6OOmP
The girls’ school in Iran, where 165 people were killed by an apparent US-Israeli attack, was hit with two strikes, with the second missile killing sheltering survivors, two first responders and the parent of a slain child have told Middle East Eye.
Ohhhhhhh kaaayyyyyyyyy.
This is a policy of genocide.
The hot in the west was hotter than the cold in the east was cold.
