So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.

That's $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

Thousands of lives lost.

People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Times report: Allies of Rayner said they believed that Wes Streeting, the health secretary, would be “ruined” by the mass disclosure of all communications with Mandelson in coming months. Streeting and Mandelson were close allies for years.

In these dark days of February, a little something to look forward to.

I will be here tomorrow (January 30th) because I need to measure a bunch of bookcases and draw floor plans.

If you need to be around books, you are always welcome here.

If you want to help me figure out how to rearrange, cool. Geometry loves company, right?

But.

We support the General Strike.

To those saying, "but the Greens will split the vote":
1. Things have changed.
2. It's not the Green's fault that Starmer has the Merdas Touch (turns everything to shit)
3. When the Greens offer the only inspiring option, perhaps we should see the Labour candidate as splitting the vote.

WOW! 👏Philly DA Larry Krasner:
“This is a small bunch of wannabe Nazis in a country of 350 million. We outnumber them. If we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will. We will find you. We will achieve justice.”

Charging a Black journalist under the KKK Act for reporting on a protest is a whole new level of fucked up.

Shut it down! The US is better off with no government than with the one it has | Judith Levine As senators refuse to fund Trump’s immigration crackdown, a partial shutdown is likely. For Democrats, it’s the right move

Shut it down

Disband ICE

Fire the Proud Boys

Send Border Patrol back to the actual border, with a total remake

Dismantle DHS

Prosecute the murders, kidnappers and their bosses

When acquaintances say "protesting does no good, its just stupid", forget history.

These people are forgetting that we have a right to protest. Cowards wont protest. #GOPCowards

These people are really bothered by protesters because they see it is having an effect on the republican party.

This is how authoritarian narratives work you smear the victim, praise the armed agent, and ignore the killing. No video justifies an execution. No insult erases due process. This is propaganda, not accountability.

Way to go, Philadelphia! The city has introduced new legislation putting real limits on ICE activity. Federal agents will no longer be allowed to operate anonymously no masks, visible identification required, and arrests must be backed by warrants signed by a federal judge.
