Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.
Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.
We live in Orwellian times.
None of them can talk coherently about strategy or goals but they are completely in sync in all their macho posturing because that is all theyβre really focused on. Everything else is just whatever limply offered fiction is convenient to them at the time.
Senate Bill 6346, "establishing a tax on millionaires", just passed the Washington House on a 51-46 vote after more than 24 hours of floor debate.

The federal judge found that DHS & ICE βdisplayed a βprotracted failure even to care,ββ which constituted βdeliberate indifferenceβ towards the suffering of residents at Grayβs Landing.
This is a step towards accountability. DHS & ICE violated the Constitution when they gassed Portlanders in their homes.
The court found that DHS was likely _deliberately indifferent_ to the harms to the plaintiffs βbased on the quantity of chemical munitions used, the distance from the Portland ICE Facility to impact areas, the fact that chemical munitions are being used contrary to [] agency use of force manualsβ¦β
A federal judge has ordered the Dept of Homeland Security to *immediately stop* using chemical munitions in ways that affect residents of neighboring Grayβs Landing, an affordable apartment building 100 feet from the Portland ICE facility. This is fantastic news. democracyforward.org/news/press-r...
Some people like living in tall buildings and thatβs OK
I thought this was an onion headline, but no
Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0
Paying agency heads to leave canβt help this situation, either
I havenβt seen any collected responses of orgs but I anecdotally know of a third party evaluation effort ongoing rn, looking at the first round of awards and their impact. That might be out as soon as next week- Iβll share here if I see it!
Yep, hi! I sent around some info on Seattleβs flexible βurgent operating support,β which included debt restructuring, for a variety of uses that kept affordable housing safe/stable/tenants housed etc. Could be a good model to explore for preservation & stability housing.seattle.gov/uos-rfq/
Theyβre different kinds of apples, ok?? π«
PEPFAR, the program to stop hundreds of thousands of children and adults from dying of HIV/AIDS, was $6.5 billion a year.
If the government gets to decide if you have them, they're not human rights.
They killed 180 children and their teachers in a double-tap strike on a school. The girls were 7 to 12 years old.
Millennial optimism, baby!
A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.
βNo front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.β www.columnblog.com/p/corporate-...
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has abandoned efforts to build a detention center in Newport, at least for now, according to court filings first reported by the Statesman Journal.
if not war then why war shaped
Lori Chavez-DeRemer, even incompetent as a figurehead.
This is why primaries matter
Trump likes to close the curtains so the Declaration canβt witness the especially unconstitutional stuff
