Not out here to defend George W, but Bush was lampooned as a moron for saying things that are ultimately far more cogent than most of Trump’s war pronunciations www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...
In other words Trump-Netanyahu have effectively carried out massive uncontained poison gas attacks on Tehran and its people.
Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.
"The most effective consumer boycotts in history share two qualities: they are narrow and they are easy," writes @rutgerbregman.com

BBC Verify has analysed verified videos and satellite imagery that show severe damage to a hospital, sporting centres, a UNESCO world heritage site and two schools since US and Israeli strikes on Iran began on Saturday, as the number of civilian casualties grows.

A good opportunity for someone looking to get into the publishing/magazine world!
‘There’s no safe place any more’: inside Tehran under attack – photo essay
imagine if we just had the based surge in renewable supply and not the cursed surge in data centers' energy demand
It applied to Marx and Engels, too

This Celtics team has also been so much better than I expected, it’s unreal
As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.
Six Americans dead, at least three others critically wounded, alongside hundreds of Iranians. As needless as it is horrific
If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.
And record-breaking daily-to-monthly high temperatures are occurring, in even more widespread fashion, yet again today. #CAwx #AZwx #NMwx #COwx
war is disgusting and it's a moral imperative to be disgusted by it
It’s crazy that it’s basically just a combination of the single worst most disastrous parts of every administration in history
Saw @abbymartin0.bsky.social ‘s new doc “Earth’s Greatest Enemy” yesterday about how the US military is the defining world contributor to global warming, not least because the perpetual buildup of weapons produces economic and political imperatives to use them. We need a mass peace movement again
So funny to call Green tactics “divisive” when a key piece of the strategy seemed to be… trying to reach voters in the languages they use most and on issues they care a lot about
The Washington Post's description of the bodycam video of his arrest last year, and the translation of Mr. Shah Alam's comments, is gutting. Remember, he was entirely blind in one eye and could only see three feet in the other, and he spoke virtually no English.
He spent a year in jail for this.
